There's some really nice photo of the Duga installation - well worth looking at

The pictures from the author's website are amazing. Here, for example is the DUGA over-the-horizon radar located in Chernobyl. The author says the radar stopped working as a result of the radiation from the Chernobyl plant and was closed soon after.
The way the structure rises above the clouds is an amazing sight:

a huge dump site near the ocean [1] doesn't look like the best idea.

It's eerily similar to pictures from Chernobyl or Fukushima, although without the radiation.
Here are some pictures from Fukushima:

If anyone's curious about why this is set up for a ceremony and was left like this (that is, why the timing was so coincidental), it's because the earthquake occurred on the afternoon of March 11, which was a public school graduation day around Japan.
Graduations occur in the morning, with students leaving soon after, so no ceremony would have been interrupted. In the afternoon, teachers generally start unwinding and slowly cleaning up the gym, so the earthquake would have taken place then and that explains why the graduation ceremony decorations and a few chairs/tarps are still out.

This looks like an update to his original post about Fukushima (http://www.podniesinski.pl/portal/fukushima/) which was discussed on HN last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10256419
