cool stuff, this stuff fascinates me. There are people that explore these sort of places. A while back someone here at PP posted a link to a site where folks visit abandon places, explore and photograph them. There was some really interesting stuff.

Eerie. That's exactly what I thought too.

Check out English Russia » abandoned

VINMAN 08-19-2010 06:32 PM

Check this out. This was a homebuilt submarine, some guy in Brooklyn built back in the 70's. I remember my old man taking me to see it when I was a kid. It was painted yellow and was kept at a local marina. He built it to go and dive on the Andrea Doria. But wasn't too successful with with it. Apparently he made a few dives with it near the Verazzano Bridge.
Now it sit in Coney Island creek in Brooklyn. Ive been out to it a bunch of times over the years. I was on it last yr. Took a ride out to it in my kayak. Always wanted to take a peek inside it with my scuba gear , but that water is vile.

'organised abandonment'

RWebb 08-20-2010 01:49 PM

there are also abandoned places - in some places (La. Gulf coast, parts of the Sahel) entire areas have been nearly abandoned

I suspect we are finding out that human civilization cannot inhabit such areas, at least in the long term, or for the parts of the coast or riverine flood plains, can only do so on a mobile basis - i.e. as a spot to have camps set up and then evacuate periodically

Those B52s are arranged that way to facilitate satellite verification of compliance with arms limitation treaties.

I delivered a piece of machinery to the U.S. National Research Lab (think that was the name)
just west of Blackfoot,Id. many years ago.
As they escorted me several miles out to the building i delivered to, i passed several abandoned buildings. I asked about them and was told that one of them has a nuclear powered helicopter
in it that was about 90% complete when they decided to scrap the project.
Wonder how much that cost us.

When I was in high school in Missouri in the mid 80s, there was an abandoned water treatment plant we used to go to for BB gun wars. It was a pretty cool place, I was always amused that the place wasn't really fenced, aside from a berm to block cars from driving in.

They finally tore the place down a few years ago, and a police shooting range is now on the site.

I found some photos of the place here:

EquaDome

Turns out the plant was built to supply water to a TNT plant a few miles away, which was later used for uranium processing in the Cold War.
Weldon Spring Ordnance Works - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That place was abandoned at the time as well, but we never tried to get in there, as it had guards. Good thing, turns out it was an irradiated and toxic mess. Evidently they have since torn the whole place down, cleaned up what they could, and buried the rest under tons of gravel.

I have just spent 3 hours on Artificialowl.net -- what a great site... Need to find some with abandoned race-tracks now. Or also, of the old US Military "NIKE" sites...

A930Rocket 09-04-2010 02:31 PM

When I lived in Westport, CT there was an abandoned Nike missle site right next to the high school. We used to walk around it and look into where we could, but everything was full of water. It always gave me the heebee jeebees...
