This 1986 photo, shows photographer Volodymyr Repik inside a helicopter as he covers the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster. On May 12, 1986, more than two weeks after the explosion, the leading Soviet daily newspaper Pravda published its first photograph from the site for the first time, shot three days earlier from a helicopter by Repik. "If I had been ordered now to get aboard and go, I would not have gone _ you might have easily died there for nothing," said the 65-year-old Repik. (AP Photo/HO)
