Fukushima 6 years later.

In 2011, everyone in this town fled for their lives. Fukushima's nuclear power plant had 3 nuclear meltdowns.

The Japanese govt. evacuated everyone within a 12-18 mile radius.

Now, the govt. says radiation levels in many areas are safe. But few former residents have actually returned.

Some of the first people to set foot here after 6 years are these two guys. They explore abandoned places worldwide, and document it on YouTube at "Exploring the Unbeaten Path".

In Fukushima, they discovered a scene that looks like it was out of a zombie apocalypse.

Will these cities ever fully recover?

Only time will tell.
