As a retired engineer, this was an especially interesting adventure. I live near Worcester, MA, which is the hometown of the Wyman Gordon Company. The local Wyman Gordon facilities are all gone - the main plant site now is the ballpark for the WooSox baseball team. I'm a big fan of your videos. Keep up the excellent work.

Being in that smokestack must have given you some eerie feelings. What a very interesting explore.

Even with the incredible lack of coverage of the interior it's easy to see this is NOT a power plant.

@JefferyHagen 3 месяца назад

This was a steam plant for their steam hammers.

An interesting bit of urban exploration...cool and creepy at the same time. I'm reminded of the book "American Ruins" that documents places like this. Looks like you need to be really careful when wandering around inside, lots of hazards underfoot and stuff poking out here and there. Until next time, happy trails!

I drove by this every day on the way to work from 1991-1996.

The power plant supplied the power for the production buildings located on the other side of Wood st which is located in Harvey,Il.

Thanks Bethany and Drew! I enjoy watching your abandoned building explorations, and this was another interesting one.

@jonathanlapham2374 5 месяцев назад

Old industrial building are so interesting., thank you for exploring this one. I have not been back the area since the 1990s so I imagine there are many others around. So glad you are traveling to these other regions. You two are the best!

Interesting, spooky-ish, historical relic. Thanks for the tour and the history lesson, Bethany and Drew. 👍❤

I love your abandoned videos. I’ll live through you guys, my wife always freaks out on places you are not suppose to be. I’m playing Last of Us video game and this video reminds of it. How do we get in? Again, I live in the area and never heard of this place. You guys are so brave.

*_Old School Urban Exploring, very cool. The scale of that place is crazy, kind of reminds me of those 1980s Post-Apocalyptic movies. Keep up the good work!_*

@OddityOdysseys 5 месяцев назад

It was nuts! Thanks for watching, our friend. 💕

All the fallen debris on the ground means that it would be a good idea to wear hard hats. And work boots.

@Kihsiimawa 3 месяца назад

No railings! I'd say NOPE.

@Maria-EstherEsparza 5 месяцев назад

We love you guys, but…. You’re both damned lucky you didn’t fall through a floor and get seriously injured or worse. Seriously guys, little more caution and greater prioritization of safety would be a very wise. Please, do be more careful next time. -Thomas and Esther

@fumanpoo4725 5 месяцев назад

Cool! Be careful...humans may not be nice

@ghtaboma 5 месяцев назад

May I suggest the wearing of helmets , or hard hats in these places?

@JosephWaters-du5ht 5 месяцев назад

That was not a power plant. A power plant produces electrical power. That was a plant that produced steel forgings.

@CaseNumber00 5 месяцев назад

Do you guys still live in Los Angeles?

@OddityOdysseys 5 месяцев назад

Yes, we are just venturing out a little bit. :)

@Peteslife 5 месяцев назад

Why don’t you wear work boots instead of new looking sneakers.

@fumanpoo4725 5 месяцев назад

Yes, friends...invest in sturdy boots...love your feet.

@jimmiesmith5811 5 месяцев назад

You're right they need to wear safety gear when going in places like that

@moviefreak30728 5 месяцев назад

Love y'all's show. But being the worry wart by nature I am. Have y'all ever thought about exposure to asbestos? That is in most old factories, schools, warehouses, etc.etc. That's the reason they're not torn down. It costs too much to remove asbestos safely. I suggest an air filter of some sort. Always remember Safety 1st!

@jesusorozco6304 5 месяцев назад

Love your show and envy your adventures. But from my experience, that’s not a power plant.

@jesusorozco6304 5 месяцев назад

@badlieutenant13 Electrician, maintained and built power stations, also worked in generating stations. The smoke stack looked like part of generating stations, but I never saw possibility the power plant part of that facility. Maybe they did generate their own power? Also a full blown power utility Power plant are almost never shutdown because of the money they generate.

@AMD1 Месяц назад

@@jesusorozco6304 Power plants can produce more energy sources than just and only electricity. Steam was used a lot in forging. I wonder what the HP of these old boilers are. My great uncle used to be an electrician at this wyman gordon site and lived though getting shocked when someone reenergized his panel. The snaps on his shirt permanently left dark scorch marks on his wrists and other minor issues with mobility. great great grandpa also worked there as an operator. Not much of the facility remains today. Just the power plant and one of the forging building across the street, and some evidence of power transmission between them.

Government contractor takes the money and leaves containments every where...so sad.

@charlescolegrove4822 5 месяцев назад

Great job guys 🐱 More cat videos please 😻😹🤣😂

@williamj515 5 месяцев назад

You keep calling a power plant, which generates electricity. However you also tell what was made there.

@safepetproducts 5 месяцев назад

Not the best area to be exploring.

Love the exploration. This looks more like a foundry to me than a power plant. Power plants don’t make crankshafts or other metal parts. The “hammer” was a device used to pound hot bars into dense, hardened components that were then machined into finished products.
