Exploring an Abandoned Power Plant with Crazy Control Room

Today we're exploring an abandoned coal-fired power plant. It was decomissioned several years ago as part of a clean energy initiative. We are in. Listen to that wind, man. This is nuts. This place is packed with machines. Woah. Come here! Holy shit. This place is cavernous. Whatever is vibrating in the wind sounds pretty crazy. It's probably up there somewhere. There are some big red doors up there. Wow, this stuff looks pretty old. This would be like a delay switch. This would spin and trigger switches in order. That's really cool. Here's another one of those. I think there's controls up here from what I saw. Not so much controls but, power meters. Bryan looks very focused. Uh oh. Uh oh. What? Keep this door closed. Let's get out of here. I wanna go up the staircase that's uh- goes over the big hole. Check this out, surge tank. This place is scary with the noises and everything. Alright, here's where I want to go. Up here. Wow, look at those scale things down there. We have to find the source of that noise- it might just be the roof. Whatever it is I think we're close to it. It's something up top here. Oh this is a stretcher. That's just gonna go across to the same thing on the other side. I know, but it looks cool. Woah. Oh my god. This place is nuts. The size of this room. We need to get in this room too. That's down on the first floor though. I'll let you take a look in there Bryan. Wow. That's a big room. That's a big room. This was the fan floor. Locker room. There's a lot of stuff left here. Look how clean that towel is. That's crazy. Danger - Bob is in the power plant. What? Haha. Danger! Here's an office. A friendly toaster. There's a safe back here. It still works. More offices. Yeah. There's a lot of documents in here. Like, the room is literally filled. Holy crap, this room too. We can go in here. There's blueprints. I'm not being very graceful right now. The documents we found in these rooms included blueprints, instruction manuals, schedules, and all sorts of record-keeping. Many of the documents included sensitive information such as the name of the facility or personal information of employees so we won't be showing them on camera. Maintenance manager. This is cool. There is so much stuff in here. More offices. Plant manager. Lots more blueprints, too. This whole place is filled with diagrams. This is cordoned off right here for asbestos. I mean I'm not positive about that but that's what that looks like to me. This one's open. But like, busted open. That just leads into the main power plant though. Right? Oh that's dripping with something. Let's go in here. Hasard! Caution! Oh yea this is the room. The room. This is quite the room. Hopefully they completed asbestos abatement. It looks like they did finish. Except maybe not down there. There's asbestos suits right there. Well, don't kick up anything. Oh, it's bigger. This is nutty. Looks like a lot would've been here, but it was ripped out. But I'm assuming it would have been more of this. Clothes. I don't know what to make of that. This time they got the E right but not the rest of the word. I mean not the E, they got the Z right, the E wrong. That's a wrench. Size comparison. It's amazing that these are even still left here though. Those are for big bolts. These rooms are so cavernous. There's a turbine though. Or what's left of one. God damn it's so dark now. That's okay because I have the ThruNite Is this a ThruNite video? TN30 It is now. Haha. Damn, that's pretty bright. Look at all that up there though. It's just so many layers of crap. You don't even see the end of it you just see eventually so many layers that you can't see the back wall. You want to try and find that control room before it gets dark because that's something we might want light for also. Ooh come in here. But look at this staircase. Wait wait, come in here. Okay fine, we'll check out the staircase later. This is cool. Do not operate. Lock out tags. All fuses. Electrical testing room. I guess they'd like make test circuits and stuff in here? These look like modules even. What did this module do? Like they can just deploy them somewhere. I'm willing to bet this goes up to the control room. Probably. This is not the control room yet but we're getting close. Yea see these are what the modules would go into. So were those like settings modules maybe? Well... And they were making different ones and swapping them in and out? I don't know. Oh shit, look. Oh, oscilloscopes. And look what font it's in, Futura. That's like the quintessential... I don't even know. Wow I like that one with the green. Alright it's time. Ass dick. Holy crap. Look at the hazmat suit or whatever. It's chillin' on a chair. That's the door we were looking in from before. Did you see how it's like a tunnel? You can go through here. Holy crap we need to walk through this tunnel. This tunnel is gonna like transform me into some sort of uh... crazy cyborg? So around the back of the control room all the dials. Which are blanked out with out of service stickers which is a little weird. I guess they're all out of service. The ink's bleeding pretty bad but that right there in the middle is an actual graph line. What is this, a clock? Yup, an old clock. We just noticed that it's getting darker out and the lights turned on outside by that substation. But it's everything on the far side, nothing close to the building. All the wires were disconnected to the building. You know what I find interesting? Do you see the railroad tracks right there? Inside the substation. Oh yea. That used to be for the coal to get here I bet. Yea and they just built the substation over it. This is all covered because it has asbestos in it. But we're gonna take a peek inside to see what it is. I just don't want to have too much light because the huge ass windows. What is that? Offices? Please be unlocked. Nope. It looks pretty interesting in there. And we are in our second control room. Here we go, some servers still in the rack. Not really a crowded rack, a lot of blanks but the Ethernet's still wired. You think this is bright? Turbo mode! Holy crap. That's bright. And dark. It says 23. 23? That's not that bad yet. We should still head out. The low is 9.
