Urban Exploration Articles of Interest

Post by slow_walker »

I propose we make this a place to post interesting news stories or online articles relating to urban exploration that does not necessarily deserve it's own topic. Obviously, if you find something cool about a specific location then it should still have it's own thread. But we could use this for just general links that are interesting.

I'll start. Here's an interesting article about whether it's cool or not cool when people explore old hospitals and asylums.

This isn't actually urban exploration but it is a very interesting article about the strangest natural disaster I've ever heard of

This article ran in the latest National Geographic. The original magazine article had a full diagram showing how deep each spot was beneath the city. Definitely worth checking out.

WHY DOESN'T THAT FUCKING VIDEO LOAD AFTER 6 MINUTES!?

So far, it's cool.. but it resets at 6 minutes and I've retried it like 10 times now.

Edit: OK. Youtube hooked me up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWF3IDk9Gek
