Plan C, Clue 3: The Ride

In the Summer 2010 a group of six artists went to Chernobyl to develop "Plan C". While they were there they picked through the irradiated remains.

Before they departed, a rural tractor left the Zone, leading west.

A month later a load of scrap metal was sitting in an anonymous warehouse under the railroad in Manchester, UK. The group moved into the warehouse and started secretly working day and night on The Liquidator.

After two weeks The Liquidator is ready. The strange interactive sculpture was installed last night in Manchester's Whitworth Park and is now fully operational.

Plan C's artists deny The Liquidator is radioactive.

The ride will be operating until the 7th of October.
