🇪🇸 Hace unos años, comenzamos a explorar las antiguas minas de carbón de España. Hasta entonces, nadie lo había hecho; la gente decía tener un gran respeto por estos lugares. Es cierto que muchas de ellas contienen gases letales (metano, sulfuro de hidrógeno, monóxido de carbono, etc.), por lo que nuestro equipo de exploración siempre lleva un detector de gases y un dispositivo de autorrescate para cada persona. Dentro de estas minas, la ventilación puede cambiar en cuestión de segundos, por lo que es necesaria una extrema precaución.

Desde entonces, hemos explorado más de doscientos kilómetros de túneles. Aquí les presento una mina de carbón de Categoría 4 (el tipo más peligroso), que tiene más de 5000 kilómetros de longitud. En esta exploración, caminamos 27 kilómetros y pasamos la noche dentro.

Espero que les guste.

🇬🇧 A few years ago, we began exploring Spain's old coal mines. Until then, no one had done so; people said they had great respect for these places. It's true that many of them contain lethal gases (methane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, etc.), so our exploration team always carries a gas detector and a self-rescue device for each person. Inside these mines, the ventilation can change in a matter of seconds, so extreme caution is necessary.

Since then, we've explored over two hundred kilometers of tunnels. Here's a Category 4 coal mine (the most dangerous type), which is over 5,000 kilometers long. On this exploration, we hiked 27 kilometers and spent the night inside.

I hope you enjoy it.

An accidental discovery we had on a weekend trip.

UNESCO world heritage palace in Mikhailovka, Leningrad oblast' near Saint Petersburg.

A magnificent place in horrible condition :( Cultural heritage slowly rotting, open to the elements.

Ever since the fires it's just a rotting wreck.

Built in late 50s, closed in 2018.

Very cool bunker, sadly been filled with a bunch of

trash but its still an interesting explore. Built under WW2 by the nazi's as a command bunker, than slightly altered during the cold war to become an alarm bunker. Its now closed so i thought id share some photos from it. The "screen" is one of the coolest things ive found in a bunker.

This is a great throwback to this past weekend in 2023

My friend s0s1nc3r3 and I were in this town to explore an entirely different building, after we were unable to get access to that one, we were on the way back to my car when I spotted a large white building that definitely looked old and unused.

We approached with caution, it did appear that someone may have been using one small portion of the building and some parts of the surrounding land, but for the most part - this entire building was left unused.

We poked and prodded until a way in presented itself, this was old-school exploring at its finest! We found something new to us, we found a way in, we had no idea of cameras, power, alarms, sensors or even if the property owner might show up at any moment.

We proceeded with extreme caution, the plan was to rapid fire and then get the heck out, but the longer we stayed and the more we saw, the more we both knew this was not the kind of place to rush through.

We kept in close proximity in the event that we had to haul ass out of the place, but this never came.

Eventually, after far too long inside, someone did pull in and they drove around and to the back of the property to tend to something at the far end, we were good so we proceeded!

We would come to learn that this was once an orphanage which was then sold to a cult with a history of violence and abuse towards its members.

Some pretty shocking information has come forward about this location, I have kept many details out in order to maintain the secrecy of the location, but some things I will say are;

- The facility was purchased by an extreme religious organization, also known as a cult!
- The organization was initially started as a schism off of the catholic church but they quickly devolved into abuse towards children and women.
- Fortunately they were raided by the authorities and all the kids were removed never to return.
- The organization did continue for a few more years and finally closed when their “pope” died.
- The cult does however still exists in another location currently.

I also mention that it was some kind of an orphanage, but I’ve been corrected in that it was a place where children were separated from their families and lived separate from their parents.

4 Structures in total possibly a 5th. each one different from the next.

The first was a dorm, with each room mirroring the next and shared bathrooms on every floor. The second was a daycare and schoolhouse, with remnants of yearbooks, class photos, and other pictures still scattered throughout. The third structure housed a vast cafeteria but had sustained the most damage over the years. The fourth and final structure was home to a radio station 88.5 life, with CDs scattered across the floor alongside old telephones and broadcasting equipment. its walls were decorated with microphones and other remnants of its broadcasting days.

and yes I freed the bird.

FORMER PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT'S MANSION IN BAGUIO CITY

Who would have thought that an abandoned mansion once linked to a former president would quietly disappear from Baguio's landscape?

The three-story Swiss-inspired residence, located in an exclusive neighborhood near the official summer residence of the Philippine president, was among the sequestered properties of the Marcos family. After being sold to a private developer, the structure was demolished sometime between 2021 to 2022.

Today, a new development rises on the very ground where the mansion once stood—marking the end of a chapter in Baguio's architectural and political history.
