There are far worse places in this world than Chernobyl at this point. Agra, India and war torn Syria comes to mind.

But the concept far worse is very... human and emotional.. Chernobyl is uninhabitable for my years to come. But Agra is just really dirty. It is impossible to compare the tragedies of Syria, Agra and Chernobyl.

You can not downplay something just because it does not look as bad.

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with India; why is Agra such a bad place?

Just use google image search for Agra. Outside of a complete war zone, it's easily the most vile place I've ever visited in my life. Hell on Earth.

Type "agra filth" in Google search. That is how the ENTIRE surrounding area looks.

Care to show some of these images? I do a search for Agra and all I see are nice images of the Taj Mahal and similarly nice architecture. A search for "Agra, India" shows some trash strewn on a beach/river-front, but no indication of a war zone or hell on earth.

Type "agra filth" in Google search. And those pics are being generous, I wish I could share the ones I took last month.

That's what I did, got images of the Taj Mahal and other beautiful buildings.

I did that, but I saw typical touristy looking pictures. Can you clarify further?
