13 Amazing Abandoned Places

[@scottbrobertson]

i grew up on the missouri side right across from Cairo, it was a dying shell back in the 80's and people completely avoid it now.

[@jonasciliento336]

The tunnel of love looks really neat

[@josephbennett4236]

Yes, and not 'abandoned'.

[@n8lang]

Nov11jojo that is if a train comes down

[@uffeman76]

You guys can kiss my tunnel of love

[@georgedeathe4683]

+george de'athe M

[@Ron4885]

I'd love to visit many of these places. I'm into this kind of exploring. Thanks for the vid.

[@vwgti303]

Um, so that "Tunnel of Love" isn't abandoned at all, so why is it in this list?

[@stuartkennedy4202]

I find this so fascinating thank you.

[@hobbslee2336]

Taltanic is such a great chanell

[@damienpercy5245]

You forgot Larry Sliversteins office on morning of 9/11 - that was abandoned too.

[@boobyqueen]

[@michaelwalker1119]

Chris Chong you beat me to it ..Had to rewind to make sure i had herd it right.Just how dumb do you have to be.

[@kadachiman7234]

haha you post due to his pronunciation but then you show that you can not spell, maybe karma...lol Heard =hearing, Herd = a mob of animals e.g. cattle

[@blondielaura86]

lol I had to rewind it as well! Epic fail!

[@DiscoverWithPajerico]

Great video, very interesting

[@WatchmakerErik]

Thanks for the video. Though the definition of "Abandoned" here is pretty inconsistent. Abandoned includes: Museums A town with a population of over 2000 An operating rail-line

[@ufosauna]

[@virginijasileikiene1989]

Really amazing!

[@sillywillysuicide1107]

ciaro ill is nothing like centralia pen, as of 2014 it only has 7 residents, it inspired the game series Silent Hill

[@93Flips]

Great video just one recommendation. When you name some of the locations you didn't mention what country that they are in. Kind of confusing especially because you have viewers in all different countries.

[@hsvenforcer]

Love it when no effort is put into pronouncing names properly. Well done.

[@gustavowoltmann9647]

Who would say these places are abandoned?! Some of them are really attractive.

[@asadpuppy1259]

Ahh Pripyat. A true slav's dream vacation.

[@lawrencelewis8105]

The SS America is in Tenerefe. It's completely underwater now. I saw it once when it was an active ship in 1978.

7:07 - Wow, first time seeing that. Quite eerie. :/

[@jonrivera]

15,000 people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town. Sort of.

[@davidthomas9165]

haha it's "50,000 people used to live here - now it's a ghost town". The amount of times I heard that intro on cod4 made me look up Pripryat and realise the scenery in the game is pretty accurate, down to the Ferris wheel and empty swimming pool! And the population was also 50,000 prior to evacuation.

[@jonrivera]

David Thomas, that was the point.

[@davidthomas9165]

Žonatan Rivera , OK sorry.

[@jonrivera]

Didn't mean to sound like an ass. I was aware, hence the "sort of." But yes, I did the same thing you did after launching COD4 countless times back in 2007. To this day I am still fascinated.

[@talithalee7808]

Žonatan Rivera live Church Church

[@adamp2013]

Cool video

1: "50,000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town" - Captain MacMillan

[@SuperSaverPlaysSPG]

I have driven thru Cairo, IL, LOL. It was a weird place to see.

[@randyzona]

At about 3:42 into the video, Cairo, Illinois, this video doesn't tell the complete story of Cairo's demise. Pronounced "KAY-RO", in the 1960's the town was the site of race riots, as occurred in many other cities across the US, and many of the businesses, much of the town was burned. I recall driving through the town for the first time in 1999 when I was on a reconnaissance mission developing a Chicago to New Orleans fiber optic communications cable facilities on the Illinois Central Railroad right of way, part of a nationwide network of communications facilities. Not previously knowing the history of the place, there were burned out buildings frozen in time all along both sides of the main street, the extreme poverty was obvious, economic opportunity had long since left. The few citizens remaining were all staring at me, a white boy in a new Toyota pickup, as I passed by. I felt like this is a place I am certainly not welcome, of course, I was a stranger in their town, they had every right to be suspicious. There is much unfortunate history here and I felt sorry for those that remained but supposed that to many of them it was 'home' and they wouldn't have left if they had an opportunity to do so. Most surprisingly, exiting town to the east I passed over the Ohio river, slightly north of where the Ohio and Mississippi converge, and drove about a mile or so south into a lovely little rural town call Wickliffe, Kentucky, scoping the place out as I had to meet with the city manager and city attorney a couple of days later, where, as part of the initial pleasantries before we got down to business they told me about the history of the area.

[@Bob-fz7pd]

Randy Whitehead great story randy. enjoyed it very much. keep it up

[@alterinq2383]

I love how KZbin makes it so you cant skip ads so you want to buy KZbin Red :P

[@yappysnap]

5:21 Maritt-eous or Say-chel-luss hahaha brilliant

[@Poseidon6363]

Mauritius pronounced Morerishess, Seychelles pronouned Sayshells.

[@doit10]

there is no second r in the pronunciation of mauritius...

[@Poseidon6363]

Zach Braman So true, More rish ess

[@LostAnFound]

Poseidon63 I would say Mar-ish-iss

[@michaelwong9300]

What's the background music in "the tunnel of love and Kulmanskop"? starting in 2:38

[@d4ngerg4mes57]

In Pripyat it wasn't evacuated about 2 days after the disaster because no one knew about it except the workers. The senior members of the Soviet Union wasn't told accurate information, they were only told there was an accident and a fire nothing major.

[@FisheeC3]

Mauritius = More-ish-us Seychelles = Say-shells

[@arlindjax]

FisheeC3 thank you, I wasn't the only one to notice.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

British: MER-ish-us, American: MOR-ish-us

[@MirroRakaFrantic]

#6. B-307 is not in Samara. The city called Togliatti and museum called "Andrei Sakharov Museum of Technology"

[@tidierpenny]

I first heard about what happened to Chernobyl in Top Gear a couple of years ago. If anyone's seen the one where they have to run out of fuel before they get there, Jeremy and James end up going in and you can see what's happened to it there.

[@imcentii3698]

this is so cool

[@schwaggs717]

I live like 20 minutes away from Cairo and it's creepy AF

[@kolio_shveps]

WOW VERY INTERESTING

[@alphamoon_]

that outro scared the crap out of me

[@crazybanana242]

Omg thats so cool that japan has a disneyland

[@dennisdougherty7538]

Interesting, but It would be nice to hear where all of these places are. Some had some large sums of funny names. Plus, are those guys on that island really fishermen if "they live off the LAND"?

[@chancesvision]

that is beautiful ❤

[@BGone-mb7wz]

I didn't realise a town with a pop. of 2500 was considered abandoned...

[@korbinarrington3669]

At 4:20 the door was pretty darn clean

[@Daniel28021991]

Very intresting

[@AvailableUsernameTed]

Is that duct tape on the front of that submarine?

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Looks like duct tape, but it's reinforcing sheets of metal.

[@stevebez2767]

[@kareemgamal5839]

[@tomonaut5634]

No, it’s flex tape.

[@BitcoinEntertainment]

I just saw the coolest freakin commercial that I've ever seen in a long time before this video. By Morton Salt. Dam. I wish I could play it again or would have recorded it. THAT was cool.

[@BitcoinEntertainment]

Searching for it now

[@diamondtimes11]

You could do a whole 5 hour video on detroit and flint

Hanford Nuclear reservation in Washington state had 90k people, first plant to produce weapon grade plutonium. 1943 only thing left is a church and concrete slabs.

The Chinese place is really cool. ShenShan. It's sort of turned into a tourist destination today.

What's the background music called? It's the same intro music strange mysteries use

[@gageearle2356]

50,000 people used to live here now it's just a ghost town

[@fofoish777]

if number 7 has a population of 2,000 then technically its not abandoned lol

[@peterpiper7441]

7:15 Ukrainian SSR???? WTF? The Ukrainian Soviet Republic? You are about 25 years out of date with that one. Ukraine became officially independent in 1991.

[@garett1736]

the last one reminded me of the mission on cod4

[@davidthomas9165]

Fanatic that's because it is 😀

[@yanncatt]

i feel so smart that I knew that was Al Capone's cell before he said his name

[@fadedchromaticz5809]

I love how you pronounce Kolmanskop and Namib!😂😂 You definitely have never heard of these places before!😂😂😂

[@WalesRadio]

Pity he's never heard of "Battleship Island".

[@declandillman82]

The wreck of the SS American Star has been entirely gone and consumed by the sea since 2007.

[@cranstonsnord9243]

"Daiichi" and "penitentiary" were kinda goofy, too.

[@thefilipinogamertfg]

EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY?! Just heard that name made my feet cold. Just visited it. Sooooo creepy

[@sevuss]

Your Outro scared the shit out of me

[@GuyAld]

The people who lived in Pripyat continued to stay there after the reactor blew for 5 days until they were evacuated, the only people who left the next day were some of the higher ups in the USSR who were in the area for political conference they were evacuated to kiev

[@SinkyYT]

Re-upload?

[@80dsm]

Eastern state penitentiary (ESP)was the most expensive and largest prison when it was built. It was never A religious prison.It’s used for Haunted house for Halloween and you could tour for $30 year round

[@lahstoner617]

50,000 people used to live.now it's ghost town

[@jackp.2807]

What is the music that you used for the video?

[@chrisgriffetts9092]

The ss American Star has, for a few years now, been fully claimed by the sea and collapsed. most photos you see of her are from 2004.

[@CheapestGamer]

FYI: The S.S. America collapsed into the ocean a while ago I believe. I remember seeing a video about how the sea had claimed it fully.

[@shakursteadman216]

in the description why do you only list 8 of the 13 places....

Can you go to Shengsheng Island or is it illegal? i would like to go there

[@blindleader42]

3:42 It's pronounced kay-ro. I know - silly midwesterners :)

[@Crintingnut]

Why would there be a shot of the TSS Earnslaw at 4.00? It sails in New Zealand.

[@ownedbyputin5002]

3 melted reactors with hydrogen explosions evacuation of over 450 thousand and they had Plutonium MOX Fuel Reactors 1 million times more deadly than Chernobyl . Chernobyl is not in contact with ground water or any Ocean like Fukushima. Chernobyl had 50 thousand evacuation and was a uranium reactor not Plutonium like Fukushima Fukushima is a planetary extinction level event that is sterilizing the Pacific and will never be contained so how is Chernobyl consider worst nuclear disaster

[@delta4phoenix4]

OwnedByPutin Yeah not gonna happen

[@ownedbyputin5002]

Sorry but Chernobyl was contained in under 30 days And Fukushima is still UN-contained and dumping 150 million gallons of radioactive water into the Pacific every day that's Just The facts they admit Your A FOOL !!

[@simonrichard9873]

ok so what?

[@michelleseril317]

OwnedByPutin €€1€!!!AaAaaa

[@shadizersilverhand2113]

You've no idea what a planetary extinction level event is and your idea of what constitutes worse is pretty poor as well else you'd understand why Chernobyl was worse, both in cost in lives and in property.

[@coughjockey2285]

Just wait for the Pontiac Silverdome

[@destrybroderick9736]

Too late. Completely demolished.

[@donfelipe7510]

I was enjoying this video until it got to the relocated Chagos Islanders, no offence but it's always Americans that pronounce things terribly. In truth however Diego Garcia was actually a British base until after World War II when it was taken over by the Americans, so it was actually the British that moved the islanders, hence why they ended up on Mauritius and the Seychelles, they were also British colonies.

[@detroitbluesguy]

You missed ,"Long Wang"..very sad..

[@CynthiaAvishegnath-watch]

Seychelles is pronounced {Say Shells} not {Say Chel Less} Maybe you should look it up ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seychelles

[@jermonger6954]

newflash...if it's open to the public, it's not "abandoned"

[@LadyArceeprime24]

What was the song being played in the video?

[@buddha6955]

Chernobyl wasn't evacuated for at least 3 days and since each of the buildings at Fukushima that blew up had 6 storage pools for used radioactive rods, the actual meltdowns was more like 21 and no one can work on the site without dying. Not a great list.

[@d_vibe-swe]

The Talltanic outro scared me. 😒

[@soulassassin0g]

Thank god I live nowhere near a nuclear power plant.

[@WestOfEarth]

#12 features footage from Santa Monica and Venice Beach in California, lol. Not Cyprus, fyi.

[@robertm2000]

It isn't Kigh-row, Illinois - it's pronounced Kerr-ow. Kigh-row is in Egypt, and seriously the town's founders named it this way to distinguish the two.

[@titanic21]

Wait, you have 630K subscribers and you miss 1K views per hour?!? How can that be?

[@shortribs11]

Said it before and I'll say it again, You people are incredible! Party on............ :o)

[@muusi5708]

Anyone know the name of the background music track?

[@WickedMachineWorks]

3:58 that boat is the Earnslaw on Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown, New Zealand. So not really in the United States. Sayin.
