  • Today it's some good old fashioned play along Geoguessr, only each and every location is going to come with it's own unbelievably dark backstory.
    "Terrorist Bombings, Murders, Industrial, Environmental and Natural Catastrophes, Mysterious events of any sorts" ..to be specific.
    What a great idea for a map. Join me as I explore it's fascinating stories, and don't forget you can play along to try and beat me score!
    PLAY ALONG: Play your round, put your marker down, then switch tabs back to UA-cam to watch my attempt and the result. This way you don't ruin the game or the video!

      Interesting map, to say the least. The Zarnesti memorial refers to an accident from 1983 when an ammunition factory (Tohan SA) exploded, killing almost 40 people and injuring a few hundred. The event was largely muted by the communist regime.

    If you liked this map, consider "Strange & Scary World" - It's a map I've made, that I've worked on for some time that now features 500+ locations of supposedly haunted, creepy, abandoned, tragic, disturbing locations. 😁 Atlasobscura has helped me massively with the idea, but I'm always scouring for new places. Sometimes I find what I think is a new place, go to add it to my map and realize I already did though.... welp.
    I also have a map that is literally just Greggs locations. "where's that greggs" lmao. 250+ bloody greggs shops.

      It's an interesting map that I think is relatively educational, I got put in a spot in Canada that I'd be quite near to many times where some mining disasters occurred in the 50s and earlier and I'd had no idea until now.
      I will say that I had one weird glitched round, I was on a tropical (palm trees, visible ocean) coast/island and unable to move around, I put a guess on an island in the Pacific and I got one point since it said the location was Toronto, Canada at an intersection that I've crossed through and can absolutely guarantee it is not. So there seems to be at least one bugged location in the map.

    I recently watched a video about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge disaster by Brick Immotar and it really is a tragic story. The guy that survived was knocked unconscious initially and woke up at the bottom of the inlet inside his car. He was ex military and managed to stay calm enough to escape from his car and swim to safety.
    A car managed to stop on the precipice of the collapse, but was unable to stop the other cars and greyhound bus in time, and had to watch them plummet to the water.

      Thank you for responding. I was curious about it, and hoped that I'd find someone mentioning it in the comments.
      I do remember reading about the bombings, quite a mystical thing if you dig deeper, a lot of conspiracy theories around it.
      First, some politician announced that another, third, bombing has happened, but he announced it too soon, it happened only 3 days later. Then there were some KGB caught planting explosives, but then they were released and it was said that it was just a drill to keep people alert, and they planted sugar instead of explosives. Later there were some attempts at independent investigation, which was obstructed in different ways, including mysterious deaths and assassinations of politicians and journalists. One of assassinations is famous ex-FSB guy who blamed FSB for bombings, Litvinenko.
