Fukushima Radiation Zone Photos

Bangkok-based, Malaysian-born photographer Keow Wee Loong says that he recently sneaked past authorities in Fukushima to photograph the ghost city, which was hit by a nuclear meltdown as a result of the devastating tsunami in 2011. Loong’s photos—which are equal parts bleak and fascinating—show a minimart with groceries all over the floor, a pharmacy similarly disheveled, a video store and a laundromat—with clothing still in the washers and dryers. Take a look at some of the images on Mashable.

COOL HUNTING always gets permission to use the images we publish; however, as an independent publication, we cannot afford to continue fighting unfair claims of copyright infringement, so the images have been removed from this post.
