Abandoned Eagle Mountain City Drone Footage and History 4K 

That’s awesome. I love that place a lot.

I was wondering about that... as I watched! Would it have been a cool place to grow up as a kid - and thanks for telling your story! The layout looks like a huge neighborhood and I picture all these kids riding their bikes all over the place. Looks like the area would have been good for exploring.

I spent from 1961 to 1964 when I was 12 to 14 years old, at 29 Palms MCB. Those are some of my fondest memories growing up. I too imagine all the families and kids going about their lives there. So sad, all the ghosts of times past. Did you have television there? At 29 Palms we had to use uhf receivers to get programming.

Were there ever any trees there? I see some random bushes, but it looks like the Sun has had its way with the town. Like an Atomic blast went off.

I grew up in a small cotton mill town in the south. It was a great way of life that has disappeared. It's heading toward a ghost town. Many of the houses are gone from when I was a kid and there are a lot fewer people left. It's sad.

No point in making a 20 minute RU-vid video.

So true

It's a ok video, it covered the history but would like to see old stores and post office things like that

GREAT PLACE FOR THE HOMELESS !!

That’s exactly why I filmed it. Was unsure of the future of it.

Beyond stupid. Only source of high grade Iron ore in California and the MORONS are going to fill it in ... with garbage when there are literally THOUSANDS of USELESS valley's to fill in S. California with NOTHING in them...

I left CA in 1995, they were talking about that for a few years before I left.

I can't help but think of the homeless population in our country. While this deteriorating infrastructure/location is not ideal it's hard to see these communities simply abandoned while so many are in need.

Or maybe, how disposable we really are.

Did you know the Gastons?

@@charlieshammer6129 That name sounds familiar. I remember the Gustafsons. You remember first names? My memory sux. I'd need descriptions

@@mfburns7909 Gary Gaston was at one time the pumping plant manager. Most of the people I knew lived in Eagle Mountain or lake Tamarask.

Wow. That is not that long ago. I am itching to see what life in this little town looked like before it emptied.

@@charlieshammer6129 I'm sure I knew him. I was 14 when I moved there. My dad worked at the water plant. I remember his supervisor Steve,I remember Dave Murphyand his son,I remember Don Nash. I remember my friend Jason Berg,etc

Thanks for joining.

Yes, K.P. got it's beginning here along with the Oakland shipyards.

What town? Madrid? I grew up in Santa Fe but now live in Rio Rancho.

Yep, exploitative practices are like that.

My thoughts exactly--or one of the 27 abandoned military bases we have! BUT NO SQUATTERS!

That was the first thing I thought, but were will they get food? They are building retirement communities with multi million dollar houses 20' apart in Las Vegas, why not turn this place into a retirement community?

@@autobug2 Many are HAZMAT 1st Class. But then again others are getting there.

There is no infrastructure :/

Are you willing to pay to repair all of those buildings, they're literally falling apart.

Glad you enjoyed it!

That would be sick.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Will do more in the future.

That would be sick!

I was thinking the same thing and that it would be Okie Dokie. 😊

Subbed to you too!

the palace city of Ur, weeps for you

Thanks, this bit of info provides perspective.

I know there’s another one in Victorville, but it’s on military property.

Thanks for tuning in!

Maybe 1983.Kaiser family were Canadian and most of the company, I think, was in Canada. My husband worked for them in marketing near Vancouver in the 70's. There was a big scandal when officers in the company set up Kaiser Resources. They had a big coal machine," Largest in the World" and the machine fell over. They sold tons of stock, ran up the value and sold their share before it plummeted. The Canadian Govt got involved. We heard they were looking for my husband. He didn't know it was a fraud at the time. When the scandal broke (of course on a Friday) he moved to Mexico, where I met him.

Or a post-apocalyptic movie.

It was mentioned they mined iron ore for steel production. This would of closed down back in the 2000s due to many factors including cheaper foreign steel being imported, and dumb greedy unions. I recall talking to a person who worked at as some admin at a steel plant where I used to live back around that time. She indicated the steel workers were wanting to go on strike for more pay all while many steel plants were closing due to the cheaper steel imports. I am sure the mine lost a lot of customers due to the cheap steel importation.

Awesome, thank you!

They should film the tv show here.

Towards the latter part of the video I explained how it’s used for films and the most recent being Tenet.

@@thecrazyadventurist5796 - I never of this place and I live in SoCal.

@@pacificostudios time to explore more. 😉

Perhaps the inevitability of death and decay. Nothing in this world was made to last, not even the world. Or I should say nothing "of" this world.

@@kriegjaeger Yes, that.

@@apolloskyfacer5842 There's a reason we feel this way, and we also feel that death is wrong despite it being so commonplace in our lives. We were made for eternal life. Though the heavens and earth will pass away, we will remain. The question is WHERE you will remain. If you have accepted Jesus Christ who died for your sins that you might be born again in right relationship with God, you can reside with him as he's wanted from the beginning, to live among his people. But if you think you can attain righteousness by yourself or avoid consequence, then you cannot live with God. That feeling of unease can be horror or joy, depending on where you stand with God. Praise the Lord for having given his one and only son that we may be reunited with him. I for one, look forward to what comes after this world.

Thanks I appreciate it. Just starting out so I think there’s definitely ways to improve.

@@thecrazyadventurist5796 Best of luck!

First ever voiceover. Will improve in the future.

@@thecrazyadventurist5796 . You're much better at it than I am.

Let me look.

Yeah it’s weird.

@@thecrazyadventurist5796 I wonder if they were used as test/practice targets for Directed Energy Weapons. The footage at 1:51 looks like insta-rusted, superheated metal, also artifact of DEW. Just a thought. Close-ups of the metal hit by DEW would show insta-rust, weird "collapsing" and "crumpling"; warped and wilted steel girders, etc. The ground in some places looks blackened, but not by fire. DEW fired from above often gives this hallmark. C O N S P I R A site (the organization not the company or network) has lots lots more on this, plus links to other great sites for image comparison. They have a new kind of weapon announced by Pres Reagan in 1983 AKA "STAR WARS", surely they need places to test it...

Takes one to know one Why so negative?

I believe he said it was iron ore mining. The mine eventually "went dry". It was basically a company town. When the mines closed, the population left.

Just a coincidence. 😅

This is where the 350-ton Terex Titan was first used before it was sent to Canada.
