the picture of the derailed cart made my heart sink. just thinking about how depressing and heartbreaking that sight must be... god i hope no one goes there just to break things, there is so much room for disrespect.
To go with the Cape May Bunker, several concrete watchtowers dot the South Jersey and Delaware shorelines which were built as lookouts for enemy submarines.
I was born and raise in South Jersey and didn't know their were bunkers in Cape May. Side note i would have love to see inside the concrete ship though
It’s weird to see something falling into ruin that was built right after I graduated high school, and today’s my 51st birthday-where did the time go? They called it a "phone booth rusting away," but they showed an open phone stand made of stainless steel, which won’t rust. The derailed cart photo made my heart sink, and I hope no one’s going there just to vandalize. The most disturbing thing was the NJ bunker built in 1942, now just 1,000 feet from the ocean in less than a century-talk about a rapidly changing coast!
FYI Carrie Furnaces requires a tour as they have cameras at this location and people have been arrested (although some urban explorers have made it in from what I've seen too). But to eliminate the risk of getting caught, just take the tour. I did and pretty much you can go most places, but have to reasonably keep up with the tour guide. I think it was maybe $25 but worth it to explore it that way versus trying to do it illegally. Plus you learn a bit of history about the place too, which was interesting. (I went about 1.5 years ago in mid 2021, so some things may have changed.)
I enjoyed your video. Taylor's grand adventures does similar videos. Hes my favorite youtuber. So I love your videos too. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more🙂
Some of these bldgs are RE gold! Steam plant bldg, resteraunts, stores and shops in a museum. Portland Oregon theres an old fish processing factory right at the river ladder system its awesome if i had the money it would be an upscale resteraunt and bar.
The Ready Reserve fleet or Mothball fleet in Suisun bay is a great fishing spot. Many of the serviceable ships went over to the Arabian Gulf during the conflicts in Iraq and most never returned. The Glomar Explorer was there as well as the Battleship Iowa for a while. The actual reserve ships were wrapped in plastic and kept ready to serve. The rest are rusting ghosts.
I live in Alaska and I go by that igloo a lot the real story behind that is there was a father who was building it and he had to stop because his daughter had medical issues and she died so he had no money to fix it up all the way
Man that outdoor cinema in the desert would have been so cool, hand it to local city government officials to shit it down so the public can’t enjoy the night sky and awesome experince! Wow! Good job to that mayor! I say Jurassic park at the drive in as a kid with my family and it’s still such a vivid memory I’m grateful for now since my moms passing, god I miss her. It’s memories like that people keep from happening by shutting down cool ideas for family experiences becasue they want more money for permits or something. Sad.
Kind of funny on the first one, the Igloo City Hotel... They stopped construction because of building code violations... Yet it is still standing after 50 years open to the elements, and with no upkeep being performed on it.... Shows what those inspector asshats knew... LMAO
Maybe the person preserving phone booths know their the only public access to leave the Matrix. If I was building a house that looked like a sci-fi ship I would so want someone to finish it for me, Assuming I had blueprints they could work from.
I am a local and keep me in the last picture of the bunker I’ve honestly never seen it’s still is covered in sand on most but I was just sitting here minding my own business and then boom keep me pops up and I’m like whaatttt I live here
I was in Okpo on Geoji island in 2008 - 2009, and then again in 2017. Okpoland is gone now, but I saw it while it was still up there. IT was kind of eerie, but very interesting and _small_ for an amusement park, but the view was amazing.
It’s strange to see something falling into ruin that was built the year after I graduated high school...And today December 29 is my 51st birthday. I ain’t that old!
They say "phone booth rusting away" then show the typical street version of an open phone stand (not a booth at all) which is made with stainless steel and aluminum, so will never rust visibly.
Seriously, from the moment I saw it, I thought: “Aaare ya achin’ (yup yup yup) Fooooor some bacon (yup yup yup) Heeeee’s a big pig (yup yup) You can be a big pig, too! Oi!”
On that movie theater it had an introductory flyer with it saying “to prove that tourism is not necessarily a destructive element and that the Great Theater of Nature can reconcile us with the elements.” So I take it that it was meant to be some artistic statement along the lines of integrating the human element with nature. It was a shame they never got to play a movie on it. So much work and dedication and then never fully seeing it realized.
One of the most unusual abandoned places I’ve been is an island in Venice IT, it was where they quarantined everybody that had the plague at the time, then years later they turned it into an insane asylum. Now today it’s just old buildings falling apart.
By far, the most disturbing thing shown was the bunker in NJ that (when built in 1942) was 1000 ft from the ocean, yet in less than a century the water has now reached it.
Just an FYI the water movement has nothing to do with water levels. New Jersey in particular the southern coast has been eroding away due to natural current cycles in our ever shifting coastlines. It’s a completely normal cycle that is perhaps seeing some acceleration due to water levels rising but I am referring to storm surges.
12:52 'Hey let's put our entire fleet in one place'...... 'Yeah great idea! What could possibly go wrong?' LOL The term 'Eggs in one basket' springs to mind
Funny you say that, until just now I always thought the same thing about the ghost fleet just out side Ft. Eustis Va. I had believed it was stupid to have a ready fleet of support ships just rusting away waiting to go to war all clustered in one spot.😱
Seen the house in Ransom Canyon, as it is just twelve miles from my home. Have been in there before me as a child. I was surprised to see it in this video.
All those payphones, I am dreading when that happens here in kangaroo land. Just recycling payphones and dumping them. They are still very useful, and even manipulating the repair centre to dial a number for you, still works/free calls. But I would admit it would be really fun to have a payphone connected to the landline.
Ancient structures stand there for 5000 years we billed something now 50 years later it looks 5000 years old and apparently we are a lot cleverer then them huuum
I miss the old phone booths (partly because I don't have, or want, a cell phone.) But the ones I really miss were the full booths, where ya walked in and shut the door. Those were cool.
When you tell someone you don't have a cellphone. They look at you with this empty stare. It always takes them a bit to give a verbal response. I refuse to ever get a cell.
@@Todd.T yup. a friend and i were going to buy it just to make it into a cool house and use all downstairs as a garage for our toys. too much work and $$$ involved.
At 9:44 you see the tide run out & in. That's Hopewell Rocks in Hopewell, New Brunswick Canada. It's a fantastic place to explore! I can't count the amount of times I've been there 😁
The last abandoned location at the end of the video The Cinema at the End of the World would make a great backdrop to a post-apocalyptic Zombie movie. 🧟☠️
Talk about a difference in Ideas of what to do with old public payphones ) phone booths when people get mobiles. In Australia When Most People have mobiles and phone booths got less use you know what the Australian Phone Company who ran them did. Made them ALL 100% Completely Free to use to call any Australian Landline or Mobile for unlimited Free Time, There is nearly 250,000 Free Phone boxes as we call them all over the country even in remote locations where no mobile signals. (Incase of emergency like a kid lost with flat phone, someone injured or sick, reporting a fire or such and so on.)
The Split Rock at 13:40 is allegedly Rephidim, the rock which Moses struck, which split and gushed provided water for the Israelites during the Exodus. It is not in the Sinai Peninsula; it is in historic Midian, near north western Saudi Arabia.
The assasination attampt on Adolf Hitler in The Wolfs Lair - Poland, did not succeed because SS Officer HEISELBERG detonated the bomb (in a suitcase) in a regular house outside the bunker, with open windows, causing the pressure to fail.. The meeting was moved in terms of ventilation problems in A.H. bunker. It was to hot. ;-)
Yeah,... that’s the thing about demolishing a German war bunker You just can’t.... we have one in the village where I grew up, near the North Sea and the port city of Wilhelmshaven. There is a bunch of them all around the area, and you can’t get rid of them, because the walls are between 120 and 270cm of steel reinforced concrete
I’m from Lubbock so it’s weird to me to see the house in Ransom Canyon included on this list. I’ve driven by it before many times & never thought much of it other than it’s a weird little structure. During the Christmas season many drive around Ransom Canyon to look at the Christmas lights & you can see this house while doing so. It’s also weird to me to hear Ransom Canyon described as a town while I know technically it is, it has always felt to me more like a subdivision of Lubbock not a stand alone city. It is not that far of a drive. Trippy, to hear it being talked about when it is so common to me. Lol.
I built a house there in ransom canyon by Tyn the club there and didn't notice until one day on lunch. I just happen to step in the road and look up and there it was
I took my senior pictures in ransom canyon! My sister suggested it when I was in Lubbock. Went to LCU for a year. And when I go see my sister in Lubbock we always drive out to that house.
My friends and I visited the Cape May lighthouse this past spring break, and to our surprise saw the bunker in this video! The wooden pegs that it stands on are no longer visible, it's just a massive concrete structure resting in the sand. It's so strange to think that people could once walk under it! The ocean was probably about 200-300 feet from the front of the bunker- I'm sure the water reaches it at high tide. All of the openings are boarded up so that no one gets in. It was so weird to see because there was no sign explaining what it was, it was just a huge structure in the middle of a beach. We had to look it up to find out that it was a bunker.
Not everyone can spare $50. I for one am horribly forgetful due to health issues. I am very bad about remembering to bring my phone out with me all of the time. (I'm certainly not spending 50+ dollars every-time I forget to carry my phone out) There is of course the free phone thing, however some don't like accepting "charity" either. A few functioning and reasonably well maintained payphones here and there at key locations such as supermarkets, post-offices, libraries etc.. would be a nice gesture, and would likely (quickly) pay for themselves.
10:10 the statement "and this hidden Polish forest stronghold was know as the Wolf'Lair it`s" is incorrect. This is not a Polish fortress! Established in 1939 in the German III Reich by the nazis, these areas belonged to Germany from 1871 to 1945. After the Second War, that is September 2, 1945, in accordance with the provisions of the Potsdam Conference, these lands were granted to Poland. So it will be appropriate to use words. - Nazi fortress called Wolf's Lair which is located in the territory of present-day Poland.
What a waste to some of these places and shame on the government for not letting them build these places and running them like they wanted to they wasn't hurting any body.
8:44 Why is a group of people campaigning for the preservation of the abandoned parliament building in Tirana standing in front of a placard saying "No more Kent states"?
