It is the Nuclear power plant at Chernobyl (Ukr) that blew up on April 26, 1968.
The blue grey structure is the concrete surrounding, (the ‘sarcophagus’) around reactor #4.

The Chernobyl nuclear plant in the Ukraine. Check out the abandoned city of Pripiat to the northeast. Mindblowing!

Correction: 1968 is of course 1986.
Sorry about that.

Its Chernobyl! Took me a few days to figure that out though. Originally I suspected it was a nuclear power plant but thought it couldn’t be because I didn’t see either any concrete containment domes. Those domes, of course, a feature Chernobyl lacked.
