Trips to the exclusion zone, a decaying area surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukraine, have increased by 35% since the debut of HBO’s miniseries “Chernobyl,” according to CNN. But not all the tourists flocking to the area are acting in the respectful manner that series creator Craig Mazin would like, with many taking selfies at the site.
“It’s wonderful that #ChernobylHBO has inspired a wave of tourism to the Zone of Exclusion. But yes, I’ve seen the photos going around,” Mazin tweeted Tuesday, referring to photos like those in the tweet below.
“If you visit, please remember that a terrible tragedy occurred there. Comport yourselves with respect for all who suffered and sacrificed,” he added.
