What’s something you see in everyday life that always makes you think, “How is that still holding on?”

Could be an object, a structure, something on the street, something badly balanced, something hanging by what looks like nothing, anything that seems like it should fall, slip or collapse but somehow doesn’t.

I’m curious about the things people notice in everyday life that look physically impossible or weirdly stable.

Powerplant IM, Centrale monceau, (Charleroi Belgium) Urbex

Very heavy asbestos contamination! For anyone

planning to visit this place, please seriously

consider wearing at least a proper FFP3 mask.

The side with the cooling tower seems to be less

hazardous than the power plant itself but not safe because of corrosion and vandalism.(the base contains cement with 5%/10% asbestos) The plant itself

was reportedly built using huge amounts of

asbestos insulation, covering thousands of metres

of pipes and large thermal installations. Upto 100.000/200.000 kg of asbestos materials.

An asbestos removal company has already worked

inside the plant, but the removal appears to have

been mainly done in preparation for demolition. A

large amount was removed, but what was left

behind is a complete mess is heavily disturbed and

broken insulation, loose debris and damaged

material throughout parts of the building. Metal

thieves and vandalism have made the situation

even worse. (lts not compressed asbestos but,

asbestos wool and sprayed asbestos, the most

dangerous type of asbestos when disturbed)

Because of the wind draft throughout the building, there are continuisly billions of airborne microscopical asbestos shards drifting around. It sounds a bit over the top but it is a f*ing horror scenario.

I was heavily exposed myself because this was a

spontaneous visit and I had no idea about the

condition of the place beforehand. A lot of people

are still wandering around inside without realizing

what they may be walking through or disturbing.

All in all, please be extremely careful. It's a

Cool urbex location, but parts of the power

plant are very hazardous. Stay safe!

Abandoned morgue

Always op/oc/no ai!

An old morgue, a steel structure that gives it a chilling vibe. Tucked away in the basement of a large hospital. A place most people walk right past. It was dark, but a good flashlight helps🙌

Greetings and find me everywhere

got sent to an abandoned radiology clinic but only took photos of myself confused and disgruntled in each location cause I really needed a hand x-ray

i really wish i took better pics of this place but unfortunately i was in a lot of pain lol. got sent to the basement level of a nyc medical building for radiology clinic that had been long abandoned, the machinery was gone but all the medical supplies left behind. not censoring my face cause its literally their fault i ended up there.

Nearly Perfectly Preserved Nazi Bunker In Major City

This bunker was built by the nazi's during WW2 as a air raid shelter, many decades later it still stands in nearly perfect condition, the medbay is suprisingly still preserved.

Abandoned Queen Anne Home in Wisconsin

I didn't go looking for this location. I just happened to pass by it en route to a different location that requires more patience and research to get into. Didn't regret stopping at all.

Cement lift and a camping spot

On our way to a calm swimming spot near milano we came across this old cement lift by accident.

Because it was next to a road with a dead end and not in clear view we decided to get a pizza and put our tent up here around 10. With some great views of thunder behind the mountains and a great sunrise in the morning.

I belive the structure is a cement lift that has not been used for around 5 decades. Most similar structures in this area have been taken down.

The Swedish Front Line Forgotten Since WW2

This almost fortress like area consists of several bunkers, mg bunkers, artillery bunkers, command bunkers, tank traps and more. Today most of this lays completely forgotten in the swedish wilderness.

Built in WW2 the "fort" was one of many similar areas built as Swedens first line of defence in the case of a very real threat of a German invasion from the occupied Norway. Thankfully the fortifications never had to be used but it serves of a reminder that even countries that never fought in WW2 were still impacted and uncertain of their future. Sweden whom was pretty much forced to trade with the germans to not be invaded was still very much affected by the war. These bunkers are just some of many reminders of the war that almost came to them.
