Abandoned Things

[Capt Worley PE]

They once were shiny and new. They once were someone's pride and joy. They once were useful.

Now, they sit, forgotten, forlorn, and abandoned.

Post you abandoned stuff here.

I always thought the Chernobyl nuke plant and the surrounding town of Prypiat were very interesting, in an odd haunting way.

I've also always had a thing Launch Complex 34 at the Kennedy Space Center, site of the Apollo 1 disaster, even though it happened 10+ years before I was born.

And just to be a little less morbid...

On destination truth (syfi channel show) they went to chernobyl to do an investigation. Not a fan of the show, but I wanted to see chernobyl.

Google Earth has some great pictures, as do a few National Geographic articles over the years.

This is / was a great blog about abandoned things in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. Pretty neat since I am familiar with a lot of the stuff on there.

I sure hope Duke is able to get the funding/justification to build that plant, because I have every intention of being the Site Welding Engineer if they do.
