Our journey into the Chernobyl exclusion zone is featured in a CNN special this weekend

World Travel Blog’s Nige Burton will be appearing on a CNN special this weekend, due to be screened at 13:00 on Saturday, 30th October and then repeated at 18:30 on Sunday, 31st October.

The half hour programme, entitled CNN 30: Were You There?, looks back at major events since the launch of CNN in 1980.

Covering recent devastating events such as the Haiti earthquake and the Mumbai terror attacks, the project also looks back at some of the defining moments in the past three decades.

The programme features eye-witness accounts from CNN iReporters across the globe, and after the initial screening, the feature will remain live on the CNN website indefinitely.
