DO NOT GO INTO ABANDONED MINES! DO NOT! 1) mines are unnatural voids in the earth that are supported by wood, metal, or concrete supports. When these supports rot, rust, or crumble the mine becomes very unstable. Bumping against them can cause these supports to fail catastrophically. 2) Air does not circulate in mines and can form lethal carbon dioxide traps. If you slip or slide into one of these traps, you may asphyxiate before you are able to escape. Methane can also build up in certain mines, and can be explosive if you strike a match or are using an ignition source! 3) Mines fill with water up to the water level. These can form pits of water hundreds of feet deep. The water in mines is often extremely toxic, contaminated by the ores or waste products of the mines. Even accidental ingestion can be extremely damaging to kidneys. 4) Mine shafts are extremely dangerous to cross. Mine shafts may be covered over with nothing more than plywood and dirt, which rots and can give way underfoot. A bridge that seems like it might support your weight could be rusted completely through. 5) Many mines may be abandoned with dynamite or ANFO still inside. Dynamite sweats nitroglycerin, which can detonate with simple vibration. ANFO, while stable when new, crystallizes ammonia nitrate crystals that are likewise extremely dangerous. 6) Mines are also home to a variety of bats and birds that expose humans to dangerous disease, such as rabies. For certain bats, the mine is serving as a new home, and disturbing them can cause damage to the bat population. 7) Abandoned mines aren't just dangerous for you. If you get in trouble and need to be rescued, you multiply the risk for everyone else. Don't put other people at risk. There's a world of difference between abandoned buildings and abandoned mines, and the risks are far greater in the mine.
David13ushey Wise words of Warning of The Danger's from Old and or abandoned Mines. While these Warnings are Elementary, unfortunately unwise people may be lead astray, the recent example of school children following their teacher into underground caves, resulting in all getting trapped, and ultimately resulting in an International rescue team successfully rescuing all trapped. Thankfully without loss of any life. But, it could have resulted in all lives lost just as quickly, had an expert international team of rescuer's not have risked their lives in order to save the unwise teachers and children. Perhaps they learnt their lesson?!

I have some more info on that unfinished bridge in Cape Town for you. Before construction began, the Cape Town Municipality bought out the buildings that where in the path of the project, but one person who had a cafe there, refused to sell. They continued with the project as far as they could, hoping that the noise will encourage the owner to sell, but that did not happen. In the end the work could not continue, because the shop in question stood right where one of the supporting pillars of the bridge was to be placed. The Cape Town municipality was forced to gave up and abandoned the project. The Cafe stood there until well into the 2000's (2007 I think) when the owner finally died. The municipality bough the property and demolished it. In theory the bridge can now be completed, but now there is no funding available to continue it!
How many jobs did that asshole cost. No wonder SA is a mess. Is the café still there? If so I hope some loony drives a car of the bridge and right in to the place.
Hey! I live in Ostrava! Thanks for giving Steel City a shout-out, tram lines still go through entire sections of it and the very old Vitkovíce train station still serves the few commuters who work the remaining factories and plants, travelling in from outside the city. Steel City is so huge in fact, that it has to be divided up into areas and divisions, similar to a real town. I thought you'd be interested and happy to know, that most of your photos featured came from the Dolní Oblast (Main Furnace) area, which used to process the ore from which to get the steel. This is the first area to be re-done and re-furnished as a cultural centre, with its tower re-purposed as a viewing tower with a very unique café at the top, that massive water drum has been converted to the concert hall Gong, the place has a science and technology museum, plus the entire area hosts the massive Colours of Ostrava music festival every year. Here's an interesting list for you: best re-uses of previously abandoned sites.
Chelsea FC planned to make their new stadium inside. Yes, full sized football pitch and stands for 60.000 spectators, while keeping the chimneys and outside walls as they are.
Another reason you see one wind turbine out of each group NOT running is due to the contracts thePower Companies sign with the landowners. Unless ALL turbines in each group are running the Electric Companies Do NOT pay full price for the electricity being generated. Some of the contracts stipulate that the landowner gets Nothing unless All the turbines are running. If you're a landowner and are approached by the Electric companies make sure you read those contracts ALL the way through. Take Care All
I'm a contract advisor and I will die before I get a contract under my supervision to be released to the CONTRACTOR without reading every single lousy litter in the Scope Of Work and throw in some boiler plate in there while I'm at it as well 👊🏼👊🏼💥!
Been watching a lot of this genre on youtube lately. Between you and all of our millennial brave explorers, we can start uncovering whats been hidden in plain site, and purposefully closed or buried. Keep sharing information. Keep giving out the pieces. Soon we will be able to put this shit storm of a puzzle together. I hope this makes sense. Anyone else feel this way?
You act like it a big conspiracy or something. I don't think most of these places are a part of that. Shifting economics account for most of it. It doesn't make financial sense to stay in a business or town where there's more incentive to leave than stay. I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. When the steel companies couldn't make enough money there, they closed down the steel plants. The taxes kept going up while the infrastructure fell apart. LOTS of people left over the next 25 years.
Ostrava Steel plant (Dolní Vítkovice) is now used as technic museum and tourist place, with observation tower on top of blast furnace. Really exciting place to visit.
Just discovered your channel and Subbed. Factoid, the Battersea Generating Station in London played a fairly large part in the rather good 1961 British "Godzilla" knock off "Gorgo" Worth a look!
it is even weirder if you think about the fact that chernobyl powerplant is still running to this very day. the safety checks are preciser then in a high security prison but still people do work there, in the powerplant that caused one of the worst accidents in human history.
Sandy Hook, New Jersey, USA. Concrete gun emplacements used to house cannon for naval defense. Two large emplacements with large concrete tunnels, rooms, and ammunition storage bunkers. I think there were three sets of two. We used to go with the Boy Scouts and camp there for the weekend. There is also an abandoned fort separate from the gun emplacements.
There is a hotel in mineral wells TX built in the 20 and been abandoned for a long time maybe you can use it in a future video. It's called the baker hotel.
I used to repel into silver mines around Silver City New Mexico... found climbing gear on ledge on the way down... I thought I'd find dead people once I reached the bottom... nope ... 1 dead cow... really dead
Pink Floyds (ANIMALS) album's cover image, a pig floating between two chimneys of the Battersea Power Station, was conceived by the band's bassist and lead songwriter Roger Waters.
i love abandon place, i live for it... but i have to admit, old mine give me the creep that dont go away until i leave... mind blowing awesome though for the initiate...
TheSSC tunnel hole in the ground in Texas is being used to store nuclear waste I know just because I live 12 miles from that complex. You should also mention that when the government decided to put that project in that area they forced hundreds of residence of their land at very cheap prices. Now some of that land is actually becoming small neighborhoods. It’s very sad, I know families who had land six generations back taken from them by the government to build this piece of crap that eventually fell through when President Clinton took office. Yes it is a big sore spot with the people of Waxahachie Texas and Ellis County.
There is a mine in Goshen Utah, condemned, and crazy, much like these places. Another is "Silver City" utah, it was a massive silver smelter in the late 1800s. Now it is used for films of the middle east, as much of it has middle eastern looking buildings. It is an old mine/smelter, and very fun to play airsoft in.
Not understanding how , the disrespect & the painting helps, But I must think that these R future artist. SO VERY MUCH WANT TO SEE MORE OF YOUR WORK, MaJones, Buffalo,NY
I live in Waxahachie Texas which is where the SSC site is located drove by there once the place is massive but because it's owned by magnablend all you can do is just drive by
You should do podcasts maybe get on one of Simon whistlers from the chanael today I found out both of you guys have great videos and content and amazing reasearch please maybe reach out and try
Iron Mine tunnels under the town of Boonton N.J Under main street near the Rockaway river. We had some great fun and scary times in those tunnels! We got in at Boonton BBQ Chicken sub basement stairs went in to mine tunnels, they were sectioned off and directly under the south side of main st and E of Boonton ave intersection.
Southern West Virginia is a “giant abandoned place”. Once the crown jewel of the state, and one of the most prosperous regions in America, the decline of coal took towns and cities of thousands and left poverty, sparse(ish) population, and towns where most of the downtown regions are abandoned and dilapidated.
From: "Not My Real Name". As a Soldier, I have served on many Canadian military Bases & Stations, that have been shut down/closed by my Federal Government (as cost cutting measures). One Station I served on (from 1983-1985) was called "CFS ALSASK", which was located in Saskatchewan, Canada, & was part of the "Pine Tree Radar Line" (that stretched right across Canada). In 1987 the entire line was shut down, as this (like the earlier shut down of the "Mid-Canada Line"), destroyed the local economies of numerous Villages & Communities. When I have visited the old CFS Alsask, I have noted that ALL the Private Marriage Quarter Trailers (PMQs) (think double-wide Trailer Park Trailers) are ALL gone. There is not one stick of wood left to indicate that military families once lived, worked, loved, & raised families there. Which is sad to me, as I remember a vibrant community, that once was very special to me. The only real reminder of these PMQs, are the hedge rows people grew, so as to give themselves some sort of privacy & sense of ownership. Even the decks people built along the sides of these Trailers are gone, & the locals use the rest of the Station as a sort of museum. The only real structure still in use is the pool building, & it must be about 45 years old. Also, on an economic note, these Radar Stations were a God Send to the Communities they were located in & around, as the average Radar Station employed about 120 military personnel, & about 50-60 civilians. So when disbanded, the local Communities lost (in some cases) their only real employer. Further, these Radar Stations had their own Police Force (Military Police, of which I was one), single cell jail, Ambulance, Medics, Nurse, Fire Chief, Fire Truck, Sport Hall, Weight Room, Canex Store, Canteen, single living quarters, a kitchen & dining area, 3 relaxation Messes, 2 lane bowling alley, sauna, & also provided such services as an Army Cadet Corp, Beavers/Scouts training, Bonspiels, a Pottery Shop, local sport tournaments, etc. Thoughts?
I've been in a Abandoned Coal Mine in the Czech Republic, if you really wanna know how it feels to walk down dark, scary, smelly tunnels.... experience it for yourself and let me know...
Cheyrnobyl was not an accident caused by a "safety test" it was an accident caused by extremely careless management. It's no "safety test" when you purposely cause the conditions. They were spinning down the reactor, and trying to draw as much power during the process, which because of the design of the reactor is extremely dangerous. So dangerous in fact that they were specifically told not to do it. Someone decided to try anyway, and the result was a run away rector.

Yea Japanese cars are of better quality....I'm totally for buying American products and supporting local businesses but don't kid yourself the Japanese are amazing engineers and know damn well what they're doing.
The wind farm in so cal, the town is pronounced Tuh-hatch-a-pee.. I'm serious... Lol. And its the most beautiful place to drive thru with all the trains etc.
Used to drive through there almost weekly back in my truck driving days, spent many a night at the truck stop there too and you're right, it is beautiful. I used to fantasize about buying some property there while passing through. The wind farms kinda stick out like a sore thumb though.
There is a lesson in the value of wind turbines that the Obummer nation refused to heed. There are still bazillions of dollars already committed to construction of these worthless towers that couldn't be stopped by President Trump and American taxpayers are being bamboozled by the continuous treacherous policies of a fake elpresidente forced on us by a treasonous party. FDR should be proud, his communist minions have carried on.
This was fun, but Tehachapi , is pronounced " Teh HAH' Che Pee " It was a California Native word for the creek through their valley and may have meant "Hard Climb". The Mountain chain near the valley is called "The Tehachipies" and was one landmark for the test pilots flying out of Edwards Air Force base.
people find old abandoned buildings creepy i find them pretty idk why my favorite abandoned buildings in the west sandy farm house it reminds me of fallout new vegas
How long would you last in a creepy abandoned mine tunnel ? :O
World Unearthed I'd RATHER BLOODY DIE!
I don't know about mining tunnels, but I'd love to explore the above ground structures. Love your vids BTW.
Hello
you pronounced tehachapi all wrong its te-ha-chapi like saying chap-stick but chap-ee (coming from a local) lol sorry had to let you know
Lorenzo Vasquez dude, I was gonna do the same thing. I'm from Bakersfield and was like... what did he say...? Haha

Ive been to several shut down mines that today are turned into museums. These are on guided tours.
So I take it, your saying stay out of mines, right?
You worry too much. I have explored hundreds of abandoned mines and I am perfectly normal.
I have camp in deep mines for years. You just got to use common sense, oh I forgot most people doesn't have that.
You forgot about Detroit
thousands of Arabs moved into Dearborn during Obama presidency
wow i was trying to make a joke and u turned it into something political. evaluate your life
I meant: Detroit isn't really abandoned since Arabs appreciate it
no one appreciates Detroit even ppl who live in Detroit don't appreciate Detroit

The battersea plant is going to be turned into residential apartments as well as shops and restaurants on ground level etc.
I was waiting for him to mention that in the video...

Educational, awesome and makes me want to urban explore some.
I just stayed at the hotel in North Korea, its beautiful, Dearest Leader says it was made from solid gold and platinum.
You forgot the diamond shower doors, unobtanium towel racks, and toilet paper made from US $100 bills. Needless to say, the bathrooms are exquisite...

love the vids been watching for about two months now
50,000 people used to live here, now its a ghost town
The place with the pink sign near the steel plant? It’s just a swingers’ club, not a bad place as swingers’ clubs go, you should try it one night.
Or a great place to catch whatever only walls and God knows about
That’s froogin’ nuts!
HEYYYY YOUR BACK
GREAT VIDEO..............
I love what you do.
Battersea is awesome looking
My gawd ! No one has ever butcherd so many names in one video . Got a be a record....
You forgot the Kodak building in Rochester New York

If you are a Pink Floyd fan, you'll recognize the Battersea power station. Just picture the giant, floating pig drifting by it......
I surprise he didn't say anything about that
That album cover looks like a drawing there.
@@isaiaharana2000 Or played something from that album.
Should have talked about the fitchburg furnace

I look at Battersea and cant help thinking about Command & Conquer. Am Im the only one?
Oh yeah. Pink Floyd at 4:00 and no mention? My goodness
Yeah I've visited the Capelton mine in Quebec it was awsome man !
I cant remember what it was but there's something wrong with the sterling building structurally and the repair cost is insane.
Thanks ..
I live in Waxahachie Texas which is where the SSC site is located drove by there once the place is massive but because it's owned by magnablend all you can do is just drive by
Tecahapapi? Really?!
Yes to answer the question, I have been inside a abandoned mine. Mostly in Kentucky.
You should do podcasts maybe get on one of Simon whistlers from the chanael today I found out both of you guys have great videos and content and amazing reasearch please maybe reach out and try

How about the entire city of Detroit. Damned by Americans buying Japanese cars and Chinese steel.
the quality from japanese cars are better than american cars
Yea Japanese cars are of better quality....I'm totally for buying American products and supporting local businesses but don't kid yourself the Japanese are amazing engineers and know damn well what they're doing.

The wind farm in so cal, the town is pronounced Tuh-hatch-a-pee.. I'm serious... Lol. And its the most beautiful place to drive thru with all the trains etc.
Used to drive through there almost weekly back in my truck driving days, spent many a night at the truck stop there too and you're right, it is beautiful. I used to fantasize about buying some property there while passing through. The wind farms kinda stick out like a sore thumb though.
It's pronounced tuh-hatch-uh-pee LOL I live 30 minutes from there...
Yes! I was like ummm where?!?
Cal City here!
There is a lesson in the value of wind turbines that the Obummer nation refused to heed. There are still bazillions of dollars already committed to construction of these worthless towers that couldn't be stopped by President Trump and American taxpayers are being bamboozled by the continuous treacherous policies of a fake elpresidente forced on us by a treasonous party. FDR should be proud, his communist minions have carried on.
I've done a tour of an abandoned gold mine: spooky.
This was fun, but Tehachapi , is pronounced " Teh HAH' Che Pee " It was a California Native word for the creek through their valley and may have meant "Hard Climb".

More to follow...stay tuned.
Pronounced tehachapi wrong. It is pronounced te-hatch-uh-pea
Gawd! Would have been so easy to get it right. Shame, shame, shame.
