UE - Exploring Cementland!

[@Misfit_Molly_]

Like you said, if YOU yourself choose to go into a place like this or any dangerous place, it's YOUR OWN fault. This is one of my favorites of yours. I actually live in Saint Louis Missouri and the City Museum is an absolute MASTERPIECE and they continously are adding to make the place more unique and in memory of its creator!

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

Interesting. The opposite of most UE. Instead of wondering what it once was, we wonder what it could have been.

[@dalton6439]

I'm with you, you set foot on to a property like that, anything that happens is on you. I also HATE when I see places get stripped for copper, plywood on windows and doors usually fallow that :c just happened to a place I wanted to see.

[@cradlingbrokenglass]

City Museum is one of the coolest places that I have ever visited. We LOVE going there. I can only imagine how awesome this place would have been if he could have completed it. Many comments are wondering what type of amusement park is like this, well you would just have to know City Museum.

[@MichelleYT173]

Awesome video! I think you are the best explorer and make the best exploration videos on KZbin! You don't talk too much and not too less. And you give enough information, everything we have to know. Stay awesome and greetings from Germany!

[@catbert26]

Exploring places like this you are taking your life into your own hands and should never be able to sue because you get hurt or die exploring the place.

[@ghosty1233]

Love the commentary. Another great video!

[@TheSentus24]

You are seriously living my dream. This is personally my favorite video ever!! I hope they never demolish or complete its an awesome place.

[@srevero1]

I am afraid of heights, so this was really uncomfortable to watch. I kept on wishing you would get back on the ground because I was worried about your safety. It certainly was something very unique and interesting in a scary sort of way. TY and be careful.

[@firstparadox3550]

Suzanne Revero look up the city museum. built by the same guy and tons of stuff involving heights.

[@Nowise10]

How do you not ever get scared doing stuff like this. I would be terrified of the thought of seeing someone else in some sketchy looking building.

[@bryanshoemaker6120]

if some one gets hurt, its there own fault. coming from a old school explorer. we went to some dangerous spots but we had rope, grappling hooks, various breathing EQ, always have teams spread out at least 5-10 feet apart with one person outside with 2 way communication gear. actualy you kids are lucky with modern day technology. everything is more powerful and 5 times smaller then my time.

[@ocfos88]

Talking about people getting hurt and risks, while standing on the ledge where there's no railing is definitely both hilarious and terrifying.

[@fatmike01]

By far the best urban explorer I've ever come across man. Real sick quality, and the places you do are incredible. Keep the good work up and stay safe my friend

[@MineTwine45]

Amazing! I started watching your videos about two weeks ago and I've been wanting to go exploring ever since!

[@scotts.2624]

I am amazed those motors are still around untouched. They have a good 50 to 100 lbs of copper in them.

[@kenneychappuis1853]

Some guy was taking a abandoned cement plant and turning it into a amusement park ? Heck of a dreamer I now present to you Tetanusland

[@sarahblack1632]

Very cool and strange place. It's kind of sad too. Some of the places you were walking looked pretty dangerous. Thanks for a great video.

[@benchedthatpiece]

I just found your channel, you do good work. I subbed and look forward to enjoying all your stuff!

[@NathanGrosse]

I knew that woman in Minnesota you mentioned in the video. I went to high school with her. When that happened, it almost made me stop exploring abandoned buildings.

[@n8tini]

Crazy... This stuff is interesting. Nice work!

[@GhettoWagon]

What is emitting that eerie background noise?

[@abpsd73]

Ghetto Wagon Most likely the storage silos at 3:00 are still being used. The drone and occasional "pshhhtt" is likely vacuum pumps used to transfer dry cement in/out of the silos to truck or railcar.

[@mariannewhitefield1616]

That place was extremely cool, I couldn't go somewhere like that by myself,I'm to chicken and what if you got hurt how would anyone ever find you in that place?Cool place and thanks for sharing!

[@TheBurtone1]

As a kid i lived in Glasgow village. i rode my bike 1000s times past that place always wondering what it looked like inside. Thanks

[@theshal7260]

Big fan of your videos, do you take suggestions from fans for locations? Or do you generally try and research these and follow up on your own leads?

[@michaelrhoadarmer7621]

Are we sure that this place isn't an abandoned chemical plant or maybe a bulk cement facility ? from what I saw of the equipment there it sure looks like one. Good job filming.

[@kokkonutfreaks]

when was this project abandoned?

[@ginamaria2579]

DUDE,epic, awesome, wonderful, The City Museum Is my all time favorite place, I have been to very top, but can not bring myself to do the very bottom, TOO CREEPY indeed , this is an AWESOME video, love this videos about the ole Lou , my backyard ... Sad story about the infamous ARTIST of salvage .. Thank you so much & STAY safe dude !

[@BobbyOlmsted]

The door you were referring to that was salvaged looks like the underneath of a train the wheels go to the track kinda maybe

[@abpsd73]

Bobby Olmsted Look like dozer track carriages.

[@BobbyOlmsted]

Ya now that you mentioned that it does

[@boiski1625]

In that train castle room at like 12:40 something the roof caves in and bow you gotta squeeze to get in there

[@englishrose6171]

This looks like an awesome place to explore but I can't imagine it as a theme park, are there plans anywhere of what it would have looked like had it been finished? I agree with you on the whole suing subject, if you're in an abandoned place then you're responsible for yourself, I can't believe people get hurt doing this and successfully sue, then again I'm in England where we're not quite as litigious as our American cousins yet!

[@BackyardExploration]

Angel Of The North Google St. Louis City Museum. It was built by the same guy and this was supposed to be an outdoor version of that. Theme park wasn't really the word I was looking for.

[@englishrose6171]

BackyardExploration Aaahhh that makes a lot more sense, thank you! It would have made a pretty grim theme park lol

[@DVincentW]

The door trim is parts from the underside of a boxcar.

[@sonikku1011]

Since Winter is just around the corner, will you be returning to Cement Land? Now I'm wanting to go exploring there too, but I'm sort of paranoid about exploring places in St. Louis. :V (Though all the good stuff is out there, there's hardly anything out here in St. Charles County... >_>)

[@sonikku1011]

awesomeguy4733 I haven't had any issues here in O'Fallon at least. Unless you mean St. Louis County? I've heard that area can be bad at times, I used to live in Ferguson as a child. And you know what happened almost two years ago there...

[@Bblaqpwnage]

By reading up on Cementland it seems that it was a park built for people to "do whatever they wanted to do" at it. Pretty much have fun at your own risk kind of thing.

[@mothfang2087]

Vixen Sugarfur sounds fun very fun i bet parkour people would have loved it there

[@k1773ns]

what a weird concept for a themepark. im surprised there isn't more graffiti and art on the walls! but yeaaaah, that place IS a deathtrap. its beautiful in its way though. thanks for the explore!

[@firstparadox3550]

k1773ns look up the city museum, it's built by the same guy but it was actually finished

[@TheJoeSwanon]

How do you actually record the video? Obviously not the typical handheld camera do you use a head mounted one?

[@amyeaster2692]

Go pro either on chest or head

[@BackyardExploration]

+jonathan lavezzi This was filmed entirely with a Canon 70D, just handheld. In some of my other videos I will more cameras and equipment, but not in this one

[@laineyfabriccio5984]

+BackyardExploration I love watching your video's, you go in the most obscure place's possible and give us all a great adventure, thanks :)

[@ChristianGson]

Did you run into any patrolling security or see anyone else while you were there?

[@BackyardExploration]

+ChristianGson Nope, but a lot of people do.

[@cameronbell6323]

i’ve been here before , there’s usually a ton of cops and and surprisingly it’s very difficult to hide from them. i’ve never been caught but i heard you can face a pretty hefty fine

[@Not-TheOne]

Once again, I find your channel the best. Thank you for sharing. Also, why, why, why do people always want to destroy? And those people getting hurt or killed...I agree with you, and imho, its just common sense. Like that bridge held up by that belt...

[@crystalscan2002]

does that place still have power? i hear a AC or generator still running

[@ThatJDMSteven]

I've never gone during the day, looks so much cooler when you can see everything! Lol

[@jordyshore258]

Keep up the good work man!

[@woolenhat5796]

I love when nature takes over

[@daniec.1163]

where in stl were the two people hurt at?i live in stl. i want to know what to watch out for.

[@mothfang2087]

i googled this place and the pics before it was abandond were awesome

[@calebk2202]

in that place where the ladder was missing you can go on the other side of that pole and just climb the pole. and to get down u just slide off onto the concrete where its stable

[@g-reg6948]

I live in Illinois and I went here like a week ago, it’s really creepy, but I don’t like heights and I loved going up top. The bridges are real sketchy tho

[@crystalscan2002]

how long ago did the place been abandoned for after the guy got killed

[@ivanr6921]

We're are u going next? Good luck with up commuting vids pd I've been here since 5000 subs

[@BackyardExploration]

Rocket The Horse :-D Thanks for subbing! Here's a preview of my next video, should be up in a few days prntscr.com/7rrdpp

[@TheGKMinecraft]

BackyardExploration nice

[@woolenhat5796]

BackyardExploration looks amazing

[@ivanr6921]

That is awesome thanks

[@daneadelmann9348]

How did you enter the site and also how much is it patrolled by police and security?

[@BackyardExploration]

It's only patrolled if police notice a suspicious car parked in the vicinity or someone sees you entering the premises and calls it in (which happens a lot). There is one building with motion alarms as well.

[@peLicaNGames]

BackyardExploration do you know which building or have a way to describe it?

[@TheMorg32]

been here many times, really cool place

[@zerooccupancyurbex391]

Morgan McGrath feel like going this Saturday?😁

[@40ozDiRtYHaRrY40oz]

you ever get lost in one of your locations have to stay over night or till night till you find your way out ?

[@BackyardExploration]

ShadyChris Not really lost but it's often hard to find exits. One location I entered through a piece of ventilation on the roof and then climbed on the rafters until I found a place to jump down without breaking my ankles. I got down and realized every single window and door was alarmed and I was essentially stuck in there. Every way out involved tripping the alarm

[@40ozDiRtYHaRrY40oz]

BackyardExploration Damn wish we had more spots here Small town in Ludington, Michigan only thing abandon that i know of is a Slaughter house lol Would like to Explore Detroit one day :P

[@PPGIRL420]

+BackyardExploration Damn, how did you end up getting out?

[@WhisperWebb]

There is an abandoned cement factory in southern Ohio near the Ohio river. I don't want to give anyone any ideas by saying the name of the city, not hard to find out, but anyways it looks alot like this place. I thought it was at first. I went there quite few times when I was younger and braver. Haven't been there in probably 11 years but I imagine its quite dangerous now as it was very dangerous then. Not to mention its hard not to get caught now and there's probably some scary bums in there. It was amazing though. I loved going there.

[@christopherwatkins1558]

The thing about going here for the winter is ice if it was snowing but I wouldn't go explore this place during the winter here

[@redneckbryon]

It would interesting to know what the overall look of that place was supposed to be, sad story about the builder dying midway through his dream.

[@cdHunterJumper]

Did you park on the other side of the street? Or....?

[@DramaClub1]

these places are so creepy! do you always go alone or do you ever take someone with you? i would be creeped out

[@savisthegreatest6325]

Awesome job man keep it up

[@mw3devyn]

great video might stop and take a look one day im right across the river from it

[@enfekted13]

crazy you go alone....

[@Jesses001]

Of course it is their own fault if they get hurt. Everyone knows exploring such places is dangerous. I love that rock drop. There it goes, waiting...waiting...waiting...hum, 'distant crash' There it is. Yes, that is indeed a long way down.

[@spencerdawson3452]

The only reason it seemed like a death trap is due to it falling into such a state of disrepair

[@Chilln187]

Great job again, I agree with you on people that happen to get hurt while exploring. Loos like a great place if the z's every attack LOL.

[@Jordumbass16]

How can I find this relic

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Great vid, too bad too hear wat happend with those explorers, its a dangerous job sometimes, had a few äccidents' myself ore someone who was joining made a mistake, things happen thats why i never exploren in the dark aneymore. Once 30 jears ago at my first explore, i got stuck in a room when i opened the balcony door the room door was blown shut by the wind and there was no doorhandle, it was a solid oaken door so i couldnt get through it, it was on the 5th floor so i had to jump from balcony to balcony to find a open door, witch i foud alt the last room;) As they say shit happens hehe, I have a great swiss army kbife now with lots of tools.

[@OHIOspikey]

4:30 ..."Oww, is sombody up there? ... help!" :)

[@rickperryjr851]

I totally agree with you. Urbex definitely takes a strong willed person. Especially if the place is decrepit and old. You also have to smart and not fool around, if it looks sketchy, don't do it. It's the persons own damn fault if they choose to be stupid or take a risk they know they shouldn't take. Most of all, they shouldn't win in court because they decided to do something stupid.

[@Shotsbyshizz]

Great vid man

[@GrayFox120]

dude,you need more subscribers

[@redneckbryon]

I also agree if somebody's adventurous enough to explore a place like that in the first place take all liability if something happens in my opinion.

[@firstparadox3550]

he did not die by accident. they reopened the case and said all signs led to murder once they found blood trails leading to a bloody rock. they say his body was placed inside the machine.

[@EM-ec4jo]

"I've been hearing stories lately about explorers falling through holes like these." Got any anecdotes you've heard of?

[@g-reg6948]

Wait, pause the video at 7:44, on the left there is what appears to be a person standing on top of the concrete, he’s all black with a white head... wtf bro!!!

[@2.7petabytes]

Bob was a genius!! Too bad he’s dead!! City Museum is also awesome!

[@chrisbianco6061]

I like how he talks more :)

[@calebk2202]

LOL I WENT TODAY AND I SAW THE EXACT SAME GLOVE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A HAND LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@s0nnyburnett]

What the hell kind of amusement park was this supposed to be? Deep still water and concrete freaks me out.

[@mothfang2087]

s0nnyburnett it was going to be an industrial amusment park but u know the guy go squish so they stoped working on it

[@Death13Bringer]

Looks like one of those Location from Dino Crisis game :D

[@Al-vv9on]

Great vid wish there was places like near me :/

[@OHIOspikey]

About the lawsuit, I'm not certain in all cases. I am sure that they will litigate a case like that based upon proper use of signs, access to entry among other considerations. I am more concerned that there are no laws requiring places like this to be gutted for assets and demolished for safety, conservation of land, and aesthetic concerns. Aesthetics can ruin property value of nearby areas as well, leading to more run down areas.

[@Gimmee20dollars]

I've been there before, great place. It's only 5 minutes away from my house lol

[@thomasmulvihillbikerides5001]

where is it and who own it

[@BackyardExploration]

+Thomas Mulvihill Bob Cassilly's wife still owns it.

[@thomasmulvihillbikerides5001]

BackyardExploration thanks

[@elly3477]

I know a girl who fell at cementland and is now paralyzed.

[@BackyardExploration]

Do you mind providing some more info on what happened? You can email me if preferred: [e-mail]

[@nikkinicklus7587]

That place is SCARY

[@ShortBusRejectz]

I’ve been there and was fun very dangerous place

[@JGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

I'm having a hard time believing this was an amusement park.

[@8uddyR1ch]

Are tetanus shots and butterfly closures complimentary with your paid admission to Cement Land? I've dreamed of all this urbex stuff. Not much exists here in Milwaukee anymore. All the incredible old tanneries and brewery's that still stand have been converted to condos and the like. Aside from foreclosed houses in shitty neighborhoods, nothing like this exists up here anymore. I'm super jealous of the "playgrounds" you have in St Louis....

[@nickgraffigna7266]

Looks liek the cage for the indominus from Jurassic World

[@evansbj91]

That is an old concrete plant.

[@evansbj91]

Actually I take that back, in the beginning it looks like grain silos.

[@danm8akadaneil97]

13:23 is a Jurassic Park enclosure, the whole thing is just a dinosaur zoo so be careful of them raptors xD

[@RaisingHellAgain]

I say explore at your own risk since 99% are trespassing any way. I'd be more scared of being snake bit in all that water logged tall grass, than falling threw a ceiling, roof or floor. An amusement park? Builder must have been off his rocker.

[@raymondnoya5653]

Cool place

[@4848O]

3:02 it looks like slenderman is beside of the door

[@wsuskee]

I cant believe people are getting settlements for hurting themselves while trespassing on private property. I'm all for going on crazy adventures but people need to know the risks and be responsible for any injury they may occur.

[@zerooccupancyurbex391]

I'm going to visit this place this weekend. are you interested in showing us around and for a collaboration? Hit us up we would appreciate it!👍👍 on the video! The place looks RAD!

[@BackyardExploration]

Just be careful and don't get caught. Be as discreet as you can when entering. Cops patrol this hard

[@zerooccupancyurbex391]

BackyardExploration where do you normally park at? And where is best to enter? Since it's paroled so hard is it even worth trying?

[@BackyardExploration]

It's absolutely worth it. Just don't let anyone see you entering and don't park conspicuously.

[@zerooccupancyurbex391]

BackyardExploration hey we made it in and had a very successful time there thank you for your help friend👍👍

[@ivanr6921]

Some one should go to treasure island

[@kyoakland]

i agree!!! i live in Oakland and I've been there as a kid I never had a chance to explore

[@archiesmith9030]

Hello

[@Piecemaker1623]

Bob sure had $ and imagination.

[@astro6746]

sounds like a bee's nest there

[@mbcimino]

well i mean i you get hurt by exploring these places it because of you and the scraper because they use the melt for money

[@knownuser09]

So all u have to do is go to one of these places & hurt yaself real bad & receive a million bucks ?.. done.. going exploring now & jumping off & breaking my legs to get a payout.. aww yea be rich in a month, woop woop.

[@knownuser09]

+AFTER DARK made me laugh the story of ppl going to these places & hurting themself on purpose & recieving payouts of a million bucks. Bloody America is a funny place. No wonder every man & his dog over these tries there hardest to hurt one another or them selfs. I now see why, coz they get free payouts.

[@markduncan6690]

Crazy People with their graffitti .......Total waste of money!!!!
