While working in Minneapolis, I had time to get out and explore the city. I was hunting for Triple Helix, as I used footage of it in a prior video and stumbled upon this abandoned river boat as well as @The-AMG3

8K Abandoned Fairchild Estate Jungle Ruins! - Urban Exploration
Personally I like all of the content types and appreciate the random mixes. While it would be neat if every video included all the things, I can appreciate that variety in length and complexity helps keep you sane. Sometimes it's just a little simple footage, sometimes there's an intro, sometimes an unboxing or some other random thig and I'm here for it. I've started using a handheld stabilizing handle rig that makes carrying and setting the camera down in random places a lot easier without dealing with an unwieldy tripod. I also like a small articulated clamp mount for attaching to any random fixed object. It fits in a pocket and most of the time I can replicate the height and angle of a tripod with a little creativity. By the way those dress pants are sooooo comfortable looking! What the heck are they?
0:30 that's a ballsy set of maneuvers for January!
I've walked the Park River conduit almost all the way to the Connecticut river as well. The water got up to my chest before i had to turn around. The limit of my waders. The flowing water sound near the river would be the outflow of the Hartford Steam company. Their pumping station suction is just up the river from the Park River outflow.
Did you manage to see the car? It's the one thing not really shown in this video because the water gets so deep where the ceiling drops down.
@@UndergroundLookingUp I went with someone who's been there before and they mentioned a car, but we didn't see it when we went. Not sure if it was obscured or removed. This was many years ago also. Even before this video was recorded. Maybe 15 years ago?
Ugh!!!! Glass bottle of tea in the bag? Hopefully the equipment is okay/nothing important destroyed!
Something about those Motto bottles specifically... they are always breaking!
Now I've never known this channel to be one that panders to the almighty al gore rhythm, but why would you tell us to skip it right in the title?? I watched it anyway because I'm a rebel and nobody gonna tell me what to do! 😀
Ha. Some of these videos are really simply for me to archive more than catering to viewers. So, I'm not clickbaiting more, being honest that theres not much to see in the video.
AWESOME walk guys, very interesting
Is this South America? It's highly location dependent, but in the US if you can find local GIS data, there's often composite aerial photography going back to the late 1930's in roughly decade increments. I've used the websites for RI and MA for years, but I've had pretty good luck searching for local equivalents most of the time I'm looking for really old imagery.
Not sure I can watch because it makes me claustrophobic. I have always been fascinated with the Park River. A crime of monumental proportions. What city would do that to a waterway. That's why Hartford is the shyte hole it is.
It's interesting to see the archival photos of the city flooding which prompted the army corps of engineers doing this project. The river is still rather lively underground (as seen). It's better than what I've seen in rivers around RI.
Plenty of crawfish in the Pope Park pond as well. And found one corpse there as well..... It's a neat spot. I did part of that from the exit to the river. It can be 85 deg fahrenheit but I stopped when it went down about 30 degrees.
Ot was 74 people
Even worse! 😔
Shorts and longform may as well be two entirely separate UA-cams. 😀 I have a love/hate with Shorts... I like the idea but you lose so much of the field of view! I often make shorts in odd size ratios (just a hair taller than square) to maximize viewable area. I hate trying to tuck the whole 16:9 image into the tall format with all that extra black space above and below, plus then it's like the size of a postage stamp on peoples' phones.
I feel that, Everything I have is filmed for 16:9, yet the algorithm pushes shorts so substantially (like a ratio of 1:100). It's great for growth but I really morally object to it as a tool to keep people addicted to the internet.
@@UndergroundLookingUp I don't know, I think I end up getting more new subs for each longform video vs. a short that gets four times as many views or more. Shorts don't help longform they just kind of exist as their own separate thing. Not that subs are a great measure of things these days either though. But with shorts I'm certain people are just mindly scrolling through like you said... Just like TikTok, Instagram Reels and every other short form platrorm. Nobody's stopping to linger on/contemplate a particular creator.
I don't know that I'm ready to do a yearlong challenge myself, but this has me interested. I lost a bunch of weight several years ago and started running, but after having the 2020 bug my general fitness level took a backslide. This seems like a fun and self-challenging thing to do, I just need to see what places are appropriate around here (Warwick-Cranston-Providence area).
Do you live in the bay area?
@@Spaceboii-23 Nope, but I've worked there a few times.
@UndergroundLookingUp cool
The rock
The Rock, A hard place, where many got stuck between.
Alcatraz?
Correct!
Glad to see this!Would Love to visit!
Is the property for sale with deed restrictions Or is the park up for redevelopment?
@@Yeah-i2f I don't know the specifics You can check the RFP.
So what you’d rather see it sit like that
@@ExtremeSnowRemoval Yes. I come from a city where I've watched dozens of historical structures get torn down and left as parking lots for "public saftey" I want to see historical ruins remain as a part of our landscape. I visited this abandoned theme park, because it was abandoned, and I am not the only tourist to do so. Its in an extremely rural area and they can double down on tourism by building an attraction elsewhere nearby. I'm not a local though and I am presenting my opinion while being open to objections.
Why did’t i get this recomended before😢❤
Awesome exploration!!! Thanks 👍👍👍
It's a drain mate
It's not just any undergrohnd tunnel. Its a drain! *in the tone of spongebob talking about rock 🪨 "
Probably closed off due to hazards, toxic, biological, critters, etc.
@dougpreston5097 Nope, the town was housing for an industry on the same property that closed down. Therefore, the families moved elsewhere. No biohazards here.
That was a cool explore!!! Haven't done this yet but it looks like it's not too far for us!!! Great job as always!!!
I would say it's worth it. Plus once you are in that part of New England caves start popping up a lot more, so you may find some new ones!
good video. would have been better if you didn't include the white chocolate hippy beat in background. the music doesn't match the beauty, quiet and mystery of the abandoned forest which in some quiet woods. I didn't want to hear "sticks" beat disco music as I TRY to hear what you are saying and look at the ruins. YOU ALSO move too fast and don't stay in one place for us to study the area, LIKE MANY OTHER GOOD "abandoned" videos DON'T do. Dismissed.
@@lukeyznaga7627 I appreciate your constructive criticism. The videos are edited per how I like. Sometimes I like trying new music and seeing how it fits. This is actually a Inner city location near some rough parts of town. So trap beats fit in with the location and history more than this preview on the internet would suggest. I have plenty of footage of ghost towns with appropriately themed music on my channel if you need to scratch that itch, but most only ever get a handful of views so again, I'll note your advice but edit these in a way that make me happy. Ciao
If you like the idea of catching a brain eating ameba
That’s a cool cave and the rock was quite interesting. 👍 be careful my good sir.
That’s magnificent!
This is terrifying. The claustrophobia is kicking in. I can't believe they kept going. So many times I wanted to turn around and run or just go up and get out. How am I still watching this.
🙏❤️📖🛐🌟🙌🙌🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🗣️
26:52 Type O Negative?
I feel like the timestamp is incorrect, It links to a tree root coming into the system. Is this instead supposed to be referencing the syringe stuck in the ceiling? In which case... Maybe!
@UndergroundLookingUp sounds like whoever did the music sampled one of their songs at that mark
@@mpc1mil Oh, I'll have to go give it a listen. It's likely. I think most of the songs on this one are creative commons.
cool.but ya'll realize they built they to prevent hartford from floodin again from ct river.......HARTFORD, the crappiest, shitting capital city in america. Hartford is such a pathetic city, I could spend all day givin reasons, but my point is , let this shit city flood, all this underground and work done to save hartford? lmfao, pathetic libreal shit city, run by democrates forever and it never changes, alway shit and still a shit city and they keep voting Blue in. It's insane.
in the end vandals' burned it down.
@@elliotreisman4570 Is that actually what ended up happening? I wondered about that. What a shame, it was a beautiful building for those who worshiped there. Any way for me to find a news article with the result you mentioned?
Where is this?!
Woonsocket has a lot of underground segments. Good screen name.
Sadly, my most recent trip to Weybridge was a bust. Right now, there is a pretty solid mud plug blocking the entrance. Cave is blocked for the time being 😢
I wonder if it's clear yet? That mud plug should be pretty easy to wash farther down the cave.
Indeed, the addition of the eerie, echoing background music was a wise choice as it most definitely made the video that much more engaging. I suppose the only suggestion I would have for making it even better would be to add text descriptions at the bottom of all that you encountered, such as what type of fish, snake, spider etc. Additionally, occasional indicators of current distance traveled. (...but that's just nitpicking, isn't it).
It's a bit challenging to do so, I am happy to help identify anything people have questions on, but I am no professional on taxa and could misrepresent the species found underground.
jealous. also above my skill level
You can do it! A bit more practice and you'll be good.
Thanks for the explore! much appreciated!
Very nice video ! I love it so much . Thank you for sharing . Happy week-end to you !
It isn't an "Ernman & Dresden BOB II" CAMERA.. The BOB II camera was made by the Ernemann camera works in Dresden, Germany. So, it's an Ernemann BOB II camera made at the Dresden camerawerks. The company was bought and absorbed by Zeiss-Ikon company in the 2nd quarter of the 20th century. The BOB II was one of Ernemann's longest continually manufactured cameras and had quite a few variations a customer could choose from, cheap to extravagant. There were quite of few BOB series as well... the BOB 0, BOB 00, BOB I, BOB II, BOB III, etc... The BOB series cameras were a folding bellows (single, double or triple extension) camera where many models could accept both roll film, flat sheet or plate film in the same camera. They were extremely popular in Germany for many years from around 1900 to right before WW II and, even though the Ernemann company ceased to exist in the mid to late 20's, Zeiss continued a model of BOB under its Zeiss name after absorbing the Ernemann company.
2024🎉🎉🎉 rewatching this
thank you for amazing lighting!!!!! seams hard to find videos wolith good lights !!! im inpresses at quality of exploration!!!
Nice big sewer system. Good video. We also have huge sewers (but without animals, except rats) on our channel on video, check it out if you like
Amazing video. Takes me back...I worked on this project during the hard rock tunnel boring phase (1979-1981). It was my first job after graduating as a civil engineeer in 1979. We worked directly on the tunnel boring machine less than 3 feet away from the cutterhead. We made a geologic map of the rock strata of the entire tunnel, including the fault zone near the Park River. Great work.
Hi James, Your comment has stuck in my mind the past couple months. I would love to sit down and interview you or have an on camera conversation about your time working on the Tunnels! I am a lover of Geology and Subterranean Infrastructure and I am certain many of the viewers that have watched this video would love to hear your stories and experiences as well. If you are allowed to share them, Please reach out to me. I can provide my email or phone number here if you respond, or I believe my email is correct on my channels about page. Thanks for your work in making something super cool that greatly benefits the lives of those in Hartford!
@@UndergroundLookingUp I’m not an expert on spiders but were those tarantulas? Or wolf spiders?
@xaustedbrain2369 I'm no expert either...but some of them looked like black widows...and black widows are found in Connecticut.
That's cool! We used to play in these tunnels as kids but never went deep. We was told the fumes)vapors would kill you. I see that was a lie
Please do the interview
Where is this fab find ?
Newport, RI
37:17 I'd love to see the making of those stairs!
Super interesting, right? Weirdly that passage is not on the ACOE Map, so I wonder if a different company poured them.
@UndergroundLookingUp Where can I find this ACOE map? What does ACOE stand for?
@@labbeaj Army Corps of Engineers. A quick google search should pop it up
I grew up on Broad St across from Ann & Hope, between Pleasant St & Dexter St, and did a lot of exploring around the area, but never found this. Was it blocked off or hidden? I remember sliding down the stairs that ran down from Broad St into the parking lot, which was a huge hangout for young people during the 60s and 70s. I'm trying to picture where this might be and the only spot I can come up with is somewhere around the Mago plastic factory by the railroad tracks. I haven't been back to Cumberland in over 20 years. It would be nice to know how to find it, as I may be home in the Spring of next year for a short visit.
It's toward the woods under the bridge right on the railroad tracks. Literally can miss it if you go down those stare go straight to the end of the parking lot
@@matthewrobinson7780 Thanks!
Lol i was curious what triple helix looked like when it rains. Some kid died in there couple years ago. I will also visit next rain storm
Creepy place. It seems endless. I've been in lots of old mill buildings around Rhode Island but never thought about the worlds underneath them. Gigantic, multi-square block mills would need sewage and drainage systems, independently, like small cities do. Cool adventure, if a bit dampish.
What would you say is your favorite mill building?
@@UndergroundLookingUp The Wolf E. Myrow building in Providence, probably. I worked in an old one in Central Falls for many years, too. So many of 'em used to cover the state. Then they became self storage businesses and condos or were burned for the insurance. Not a lot of 'em left these day.
@@jabbermocky4520 Yes, I actually had a long ongoing doc that was trying to use many of them as subjects, unfortunately I left the area for a bit and when I came back all the locations were either redeveloped or raised. Really Good in terms of an Economic outlook for Northern RI, but not so good for my film! I'll have to look elsewhere now.
Fantastic work!
How long was the walk from the entrance to the end?
Good question. The complex is huge so I'd guess maybe quarter of a mile in total. Perhaps longer. The course appears to make several turns and looks like it goes under the street at the end.
I measured from a Sat Map and it is .14 Miles. Very short compared to other drains, but since this was a mere re-route for power needs it didn't have to be long. (Nor are mill races ever terribly long)
