Battersea Power Station England 8. Tehachapi

Pass Wind Farms California 7. Sterick Building Tennessee 6.Hashima Island Japan 5.Ryugyong Hotel North Korea This is a shining example of what Best Korea can accomplish when they put their mind to it ! The beautiful 105 story 1080 ft (330m) pyramid hotel sports hundreds of unfinished rooms, rustic growth, tons of concrete and no windows for 20 years.

Construction began in 1987, abruptly stopped in 1992, and then resumed again in 2011. Not much has changed since, its not a place you can just go exploring at, since you would be arrested fairly quickly, and you DON’T wanna end up in a North Korean prison, trust me on that one. Do you guys think its possible the whole building is just a facade for a massive

weapon? That would be crazy ! 4. Fukushima Japan Let's stick around this area for a bit longer, as you may have heard, in 2011 the Tohoku earthquake caused a massive tsunami that hit the coast of Japan and caused billions of dollars in damages, it was one of the worst disasters in recent history, and things got worse when information about the Fukushima

Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant came out. The plant suffered catastrophic failure, that could have been prevented… but thats just not the way thing happened. The nearby town of Namie stood frozen in time, until April 2017. The Japanese government allowed people to go back to their homes…. Would you ever go back to your home if you were in their position ? I’m

not so sure I would. Namie was not the only town evacuated, this map shows the total area affected... 3. Pripyat Ukraine Pripyat is a town located dangerously close to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant… before Fukushima Daiichi, Chernobyl was the only nuclear accident to be given the highest rating of 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale. In 1986, Reactor

N4 suffered a catastrophic failure during a safety test operation, the accident was not handled properly, and many people did not evacuate in time. The town of Pripyat had 49,360 residents, and fell right into the “Zone of Alienation”. For many years nobody was allowed to visit the town, but that has changed in recent years, the Ukranian Government has decided

to allow small groups of tourists to visit the ghost town. Not a lot of people mention the actual city of Chernobyl, which also had to be evacuated. Some 10,000 people lost their homes, and suffered health complications. The city was only evacuated 30 hours after the accident. As of 2017, the town is considered a “Ghost Town” by most, but there are residents that

have moved back…. Again… that's just strange to me. 2. The Base Tenerife Spain Oohhkay, enough with the nuclear disasters, lets go back to old fashioned funding problems. Some sources say this was a military base, others say it was supposed to be a leper colony ? Whatever the case may be, lets look at some photos from here. The church looks

pretty cool from the outside, this is probably the main hospital of the compound, the insides of the buildings have served as a canvas for many aspiring graffiti artists, which creates a strange mix of great art and sad history. It doesn’t seem like there is a lot of security around the location, just watch out for squatters…or leppers. 1.Tkvarcheli Thermal Power Plant

Tkvarcheli Abkhazia For our final destination, we will travel to Abkhazia or Georgia, or Russia, or whatever you wanna call it. Do you notice that big power plant? Yeah its no longer operational, at all. This thing is massive, and it was supported by the nearby coal mining operations. Just look at it from the inside, so much machinery just going to waste. Oh yeahh,

there is dark and unsettling mining tunnels. Have you ever been inside a shut down mine? I don’t think I would last too long in these tunnels. Let me know in the comments below At first, I just thought I would talk about the power plant, but the whole city has suffered, a lot of the buildings are barely holding up, the population has been cut in half, and some of the surrounding smaller towns are completely abandoned.

TechZone ► Do you like stories about abandoned buildings and other eerie things that give you the chills and make you immediately grab the camera to shoot your own film about the doomsday? Or at least arrange some cool photoset. Well, especially for you there are a lot of cool locations out there, and today we will tell you about some of them. So, these are ten amazing abandoned places you didn't know about.

From the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, to the unreal communist monument in Bulgaria, these are 10 RESTRICTED Abandoned Places ! 6. North Brother Island If you live in New York City you might have seen this island before. It is located between the Bronx and Rikers Island, and it is definitely off limits. The island has a long and sad history as a

quarantine zone dating back to the 1880’s when a hospital dedicated to smallpox was built. The most famous patient on the island is without a doubt Typhoid Mary, the first human in the US to be identified as an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid fever. The remains of the quarantine hospital still stand strong, but the island has been taken over by dense brush and

wildlife 5.The 1936 Olympic Village Regarded as the most infamous Olympic games in history, the site of the 1936 “Nazi Games” in Berlin has been left to the elements. The people of Berlin want nothing to do with it, maybe because it is connected to WW2 or maybe because it was under soviet control for decades, there are certainly many factors at play here. This

is the oldest olympic village that has any hope of being restored to its former glory, but it will be an almost impossible feat since no one wants to donate money towards the cause. 4.Maunsell Sea Forts These haunting sea forts are located in the Thames Estuary (where the river meets the sea) and were built during WW2. They were part of England’s defense

system and served their purpose until the late 50’s. After that, some of the forts were the location of a few pirate radio stations, and after it was all said and done, the buildings were deemed unsafe and the general public has been severely restricted in visiting them. Perhaps you have heard of the Principality of Sealand ? It is an unrecognized micronation that has

claimed the Rough Tower Fort, and has been falsely labeled as the “smallest country in the world”. It is not recognized by any other nation or government, and considering it has a constant population of 0, you can see why. 3. Holy Land USA With a name like Holy Land USA, you would expect something a bit more…. holy. This place falls into the “other” holy

section… yes that one. 56 years ago, the Biblical theme park was built in Waterbury Connecticut, it was a place for anyone to experience the sights of Jerusalem, the Garden of Eden, and Bethleem. Alas, the park was closed down for renovations during the 80’s, and it never opened again. A group of nuns was put in charge of the place but they could not keep up

with the upkeep. The place is restricted in a way, since it is still private property, but inviting front gates offer entry to anyone who dares to go in. The park has turned into a very creepy place, especially at night… 2. Six Flags Jazzland Jazzland was a fully operational amusement park that was permanently shut down after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. It is now

considered as “Standing but Not Operational” and with absolutely every plan of reopening failing, this six flags location is a prime urban exploration spot, the worst you will have to deal with is lazy security guards… and the fact that the whole place can be considered a giant death trap. In 2013, the movie Percy Jackson: Sea Monsters filmed on location at the park,

and many other studios followed their lead. The most famous of them being Jurassic World. And now for NUMBER 1, but first, the answer to our question. On June 15, 1904, PS General Slocum, a passenger steam boat caught on fire near the the North Brother Island, and bodies from the ship littered the coast. In total, 1,021 people died, and 321 survived to

tell the tale. 1. The Buzludzha Monument When looking at this massive saucer shaped building it isn’t hard to believe that it was built during the height of Brutalism Architecture in the 70’s. The monument was commissioned by the Bulgarian Communist Party and it officially opened in 1981 and it closed down not even 10 years later with the fall of communism in the

country. After it was abandoned, no one really cared for it, at all. The building fell into complete disarray and is littered with graffiti and broken glass. And yet, there is something that attracts many urban explorers to this place, the front doors have been chained up for a long time, but that really hasn’t stopped anyone that wants to see the inside of the building.

Roman Robroek, an urban photographer from the Netherlands, captured the spirit of the building perfectly during his trip. The larger than life monument towers over the silhouette of a man who is trying to make out what the ominous red letters above the front doors say...

From desert ghost towns and mines; to hidden metropolitan locations; these are 8 Forgotten Abandoned Places in America 8. Glenrio TEXAS, NEW MEXICO Don’t STOP, KEEP GOING Even google decided not to drive through this area again, look at the quality of the pictures, so 2007 ! Glenrio was originally known as Rock Island, it was founded over 1,000,000 …. Hours ago. (120 years), if you can’t do the math in your head, the year was 1903. What made this ghost town popular was its prime location, half of it being in Texas,

and the other half in New Mexico, it was also a pitstop on the famous Route 66. Many people find beauty in the abandoned gas station and surrounding buildings, others try to scurry away as fast as possible. 7. Clairton Pennsylvania What used to be…. Clairton is the home of the largest coke manufacturing facility in the U.S.A, and no, we are not talking about the Refreshing Soft Beverage Coca Cola; rather, the “fuel” created from black coal. It is used in the manufacturing of steel. Clairton is one of those towns that you hear about on the

news, you know, “coal country” or in this case its better to say “steel country” . Traveling around the town on google maps, you can see many abandoned homes, overgrown sidewalks, just avenues of broken dreams. Perhaps the most striking neighbourhood is located on Lincoln Way, every house on this street was abandoned… No one really wants to talk about it; or even give exact reasons as to why this neighbourhood was affected so much more than the rest... In 2015, Lincoln Way was ravaged by a fire, some of the 30 or so homes were

completely destroyed. Local authorities have vehemently opposed any stories about supposed hauntings or ghosts, “I don’t know where people are getting these stories. People are listening to them and then they’re running with it….. This town has a lot of good history. But as far as Lincoln Way is concerned, I don’t know why it stands out.” Maybe because a streetful of people decided to leave ? Granted it wasn’t an overnight operation… but still, makes you wonder. 6. Sideling Hill Tunnel PENNSYLVANIA See you on the other side In the

1940s the Pennsylvania Turnpike was nicknamed the “Tunnel Highway”, having not 6, not 8 but 7 tunnels in its path ! By the 70s the road was so busy that expansions had to be made. Some smart people did some math and found out that the best thing to do was to bypass 3 tunnels; and merge the other 4. At this point, Sideling Hill Tunnel became a post apocalyptic dream location; no traffic, no people, just you and the dilapidated road. The site was used to train soldiers for the iraq war; policemen used parts of it as a shooting range

and a small company called Pike 2 Bike tried to make it a tourist destination. Oh yeah, almost forgot, the critically acclaimed movie The Road also shot a bunch of scenes there! 5. Two Guns ARIZONA 4. Animas Forks COLORADO This picturesque deserted mine is hidden along the Alpine Loop in Colorado. The first settlers came around 1873; and it took only a few years for Animas Forks to become a full fledged community. Just like most bustling mine towns of the time; as soon as the profits dried up, so did the town. These days; Animas

Forks is owned and operated by the Bureau of Land Management. QUICK QUESTION: How much land does the BLM own ? About 247.3 Million Acres; or about ⅛ of the country. Anytime you are driving through the middle of nowhere USA and wonder who owns the land; chances are it's the BLM. 3. Pleasure Beach CONNECTICUT 2. Grain Silos INDIANA What is the most forgettable state? Seriously; what do you think the most forgettable state is ? Comment away ! Indiana is home to hundreds of abandoned grain silos that have

somehow managed to survive longer than their surrounding communities. A great example is Corwin; Indiana. Apparently; its not even a ghost town; being described as an “extinct” town…. Hmmmmm. We also have the town of Sloan ; Dunn ; and many many more. 1.1964 New York World’s Fair Pavilion NYC
