For those of you with a keen eye, you may have noticed an unusual red vehicle lurking in the background of some videos and photos of Chernobyl. This is no fire engine, nor a vehicle of any Soviet model. It’s in fact a Mercedes-Benz truck, that through an unlucky series of events managed to find itself inside of Chernobyl Unit Four during the explosion. This is the story of the battle to save the vehicle, and the mystery of its ultimate fate.
