crazyhayseed Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I think we can restore that car. The frame looks solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 That is incredible. I'm really fascinated with that kind of stuff. Pripyat (Chernobyl) and that abandoned town in California (forget the name) that you guys posted a few months ago come to mind. Thanks for sharing.

I try to watch all the documents on it I can. Just watched one on the Chernobyl wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Good article, I read that a few months ago. Amazing what salt water can do in 25 years! That car probably had panels on it at one point... That is exactly what I thought. That is incredible. I'm really fascinated with that kind of stuff. Pripyat (Chernobyl) and that abandoned town in California (forget the name) that you guys posted a few months ago come to mind. Thanks for sharing. Check out the video of the chick on a motorcycle that rides through there (her dad is a scientist or something). She talks about riding in the center of the road as not to stir up dust and about standing in the middle of the street when it rains so no radioactive run off drips on you. IIRC part of the reactors roof colapsed recently, but they claim none of it was over the critical vault area. I understand that they are assembling a second containment roof there that they will slide over the existing structure, and then seal... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 There were several towns like this here in Washington. I remember in the 5-6th grade about a town out in riffe lake, when I lived in the small town of Randle. Here is some I do on those towns(and another on a different lake near Elbe).... http://dogssaloon.50megs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1554N Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I find it strange that, for a town that has been under water for 25 years, the wood in the foreground of the first picture has not floated away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Wood will sink if it's waterlogged enough. It was probably fixed down when the flood happened, and by the time whatever was holding it down rotted away, it was dense enough to stay sunk. Apparently if you fly over Lake Roosevelt in Washington you can see the foundations from the town that used to be there, before the Grand Coulee Dam made a reservoir of it. They had a little more warning, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
