World's Biggest Vertical Garden & Curious Plastic Bottle Village | Mystery Places | Free Documentary

[Music] [Music] our journey begins in Panama on the island of colon we're landing in the island capital Bocas del Toro the island is green covered in thick jungle actually a true holiday paradise but then plastic bottles a whole mound of them plastic is a problem on the island there is no recycling system robber bezel is battling against the plastic waste the locals either burn it or just let it rot this takes 450 years I'm sad that this is going on everywhere in the planet this makes you realize we are 7.3 billion human on the planet now if each of us would drink only one bottle a day that equals to two point six six trillion bottles a year Rob as mission giving old plastic bottles a new purpose and he will show us on his property how he is intending to do so his plan is to build houses from the old plastic bottles preferably on an industrial scale right away our dream is to build 120 ounces out of plastic bottle from garbage it would be a green sustainable village houses made out of plastic waste and a green village how does this fit together robear shows us around his property a whole 33.5 hectares of jungle here he wants to build his village the first prototype of a house is already finished the walls are made from plastic bottles mostly still unplastered but it won't stay this way we will take a closer look in a minute so this is the first house I built it's a prototype from a dream to reality but this house contained 10,000 bottle house walls made from plastic bottles how do they have to be constructed that they are sturdy in the workshop we meet Felix he's been working for robear for six months [Music] inside it the plastic bottles are so tightly packed that there are almost no spaces left between them [Music] this is one of the major piece of the system it's all cages with bottle trap inside that we attach one together one through the others like like the block for the kid the bottles don't only vanish in the house walls they also have another important property when the Sun shine on one side of the panel and have the cement it cannot transfer to the other side because it's difficult because each bottle contains air and that air by the time the Sun will eat the temperature inside the bottle it's impossible so that's why you get 17 degrees C difference this also works the other way around in the winter the warmth stays in the house and doesn't leave the building this is due to the fact that the air in the bottles hardly moves and is therefore a bad heat conductor Felix welds the cages with the plastic bottles shut apparently it is supposed to be very durable robear wants to prove this to us a house wool throwing contest slowly we realized robbers methods are a little unconventional so do you think seriously that this panel can resist to a quake imagine when you put a series of them and we weld them together there is no way the plastic bottles filled with air make the walls flexible this way they can resist vibrations better a clever construction robber is neither a trained architect nor an engineer he used to work in a factory all his knowledge about building houses is from the internet three years ago he left Canada because he didn't like the weather already on his first day he fell in love with this part of Panama but he soon realized what a huge waste disposal problem his little paradise has at the moment robear and his employees are working on the first house that they want to sell in the next month the first inhabitants of the plastic bottle village are supposed to move in the house walls made of plastic bottles will not stain naked they will get a protective layer of cement [Music] inside the walls there are pipes with cables for the electricity between the plastic bottles speaking of electricity how safe is the house in case of a fire we use only P et number-one photos those battles are special their use they only have like 18% oil inside so they don't catch fire PE T stands for polyethylene terephthalate this kind of plastic is not very flammable robear demonstrates but should it ever catch fire for whatever reasons robear has even installed a sprinkler system on the inside of the wall and what did the locals think about robear and his plastic bottle houses we asked employee Felix casinos community poday material pero po popopo fema kiddy and impose experiencia Emoto lay a light through to die the weather has changed but still the new inhabitants want to visit the building site of their new home Jeff and Justine are expecting a child when it is born they will move into the house with their baby and that is already next month it will be the room for your baby from that column here we're gonna build a wall coming up to here and then your kitchen it only takes 50 days for the house to be completely finished but how did the two come up with the idea of moving into a house made of plastic bottles and we went on a walk recently and met Robert and he just inspired us he really inspired us to the future and to new techniques of building and now being able to recycle 20,000 plastic bottles and turn him into a home this is quite incredible of course this isn't only possible in the tropics houses like these could be built all over the world but what is life like in a house like this is there any comfort are there any differences to a normal house robear takes us to a hotel here he has already built a bungalow completely out of plastic bottles but it doesn't look like plastic at all and doesn't sound like it either there is bottle inside there you can not tell once it's finished our verdict the walls seems sturdy you can even simply hang pictures on the wall with the help of a nail electricity also working and this is supposed to become robear's new home a castle made of plastic bottles but he has a lot more plan my plan for the future is to train people from all over the world to be able to do the same thing I drink that they go back to their respective countries and start to do the same thing and they could show other people and we could increase the usage of the plastic bottle into construction of houses we think that robear's idea of building structures out of plastic bottles is fantastic for him to be able to carry on we gladly leave our empty water bottles behind [Applause] our next mysterious place takes us to Greece we arrive in the land of the gods to be more specific on the Greek island of Kefalonia it is said that a curious phenomenon can be found here levitating boats apparently very close to the adil ik coastal town of sami but the boats that are harbored here definitely aren't levitating therefore we're driving to the MELAS on e cave somewhere here we are supposed to be able to find them a tunnel leads us deep underground at the end of it is the only entrance to the cave but levitating boats not a single one there are simple rowing boats that are moored here in the water the cave is 20,000 years old but has only been accessible to the public since the 1950s we have arranged to meet boatsman nikos he has been working in the cave for ten years and knows it inside out no no no someone in there for about a minute Paulo Freire oh my lesson I adore phenomena t is to you all I let the message to Barkin at the detail in a successful unity [Music] Nikko's rose into the 40 meter wide dripstone cave with us the water is up to 35 meters deep and it is really cold the water only catches about two hours of direct sunlight per day another factor is that it is constantly in motion Alistair was to you and Samir pull a kittycat avisaurus this is the first mystery about the cave the seawater vanishes in a hole on the other side of the island and travels across it underground two weeks later it reaches the cave that is about 30 kilometers away the crazy thing about this is that the water seems to flow uphill but nobody knows why bob is t---minus phenomena in a phenomenon he must say do matter Panama the thylacine como cerca de niro Meza so did the phenomenon mystery number 2 levitating boats but we aren't doing so with our boat yet this is what it should look like are we doing something wrong [Music] the pesto narrow chain again you have Toto phenomena these particles for this to happen the Sun has to be perpendicular and it mustn't be cloudy the chance of seeing levitating boats therefore only exists for an hour and a half every day NICUs is used to waiting they set up in the mastery [Music] while we are waiting for the Sun nickel shows us his unusual working environment scientists have to regularly check the statics of the cave because about every two months a small earthquake occurs here it is almost noon therefore we wrote back into the magic part of the cave the Sun is slowly beginning to shine into the crater you are point on you yo se pehle so we wait and wait and wait slowly we're beginning to ask ourselves if the phenomenon doesn't exist after all the cave is slowly beginning to fill up with other impatient visitors and then and really as soon as the sun is shining vertically into the cave the boats begin to levitate it is most important for the perspective to be correct if you are in a boat you barely see the phenomenon as the boat is reflected in the surface of the water only now do we notice all the boats are painted blue why but it will add the circle of objects again then Europe when Blair who unit able to New York able to be so formal to lady we won't have a look at this from below and go for a dive underwater we can clearly see a shadow on the bottom of the cave but why to the right light and the correct perspective give the impression that the boat is floating every water surface is transparent as in clear we only recognize it as the surface through the reflections of the surroundings as the blue sky is usually reflected in the water it appears to be blue to us the lake is surrounded by black rocks they are barely reflected and the clear water remains translucent when the light falls into the cave through the hole at the top at a vertical angle nothing is reflected in the water the surface seems to be translucent another reason for no reflections in the water the blue boats create the perfect illusion they have the same color as the water and therefore we can barely see their reflection the boats really seem to float a truly fascinating optical illusion next our search for the mysterious places on earth takes us to China we're traveling to the town of want ran four hours drive away from the Chinese capital of Beijing this evening the Spring Festival is taking place the so called our shoe car which means as much as putting flowers into the trees therefore the whole village is in party mode the festival is especially well known for an attraction that only exists here the men in the fire rained on big billboards at the side of the road we can already see the advertisements but we want to know more in the center of the town we've arranged to meet the fireman [Music] so da she goes that guy's about da da da he's a young walk become okay yes I'm sayin which is high so he is a blacksmith Wanda should then probably know his way around fire here a traditional coal furnace is still used but before everything can begin the furnace needs a protective layer of damp soil and ash [Music] was shattering what you know what do you want what else how so you want me to told us how would you tell Zack are you sure what Yakima Fujian yes it's what jonatha got their father Juho you hole to curse the God wanna wander has been working here since he was 14 years old only the most experienced blacksmiths from the region are chosen to stand in the fire rain at the Spring Festival because it is so dangerous there are only six men left in the province that are capable of this Wanda has to work today but he still wants to show us how the fire rain works the furnace has to reach a temperature of 1600 degrees in order to later be able to melt the iron go go go from old scrap metal the small blacksmith's shop makes new stove grates or oven doors the process takes four hours then the metal has turned to a liquid in Europe this old method of melting isn't common anymore but here it is an everyday part of the job the hot metal cools down very quickly and forms lumps Wagner needs to hurry beneath the holes there are molds for the oven grate the liquid metal has to cool down for five minutes in the earth mold and then the grate is finished another reason why this traditional form of working is dying out despite the constant danger the work pays very badly nobody knows when of Sweden and eat here yes unsampled was it sir sometimes it sounds happy yeah you better go with the remaining liquid metal Langer wants to show us what is behind the shower of sparks our camera team has to keep a safe distance the liquid metal melts through any clothing and can cause serious burn so yes I guess that's why you feel otherwise oh yeah just as a reminder the liquid metal has a temperature of 1600 degrees your song yes Jim cause I'm gonna go pop mister but why do they do this 500 years ago there were over 150 blacksmiths in Marquand as there was a very large iron deposit in the region for New Year it is traditional in China to have fireworks but the poor Smith's didn't have any money for expensive Rockets for this reason they already developed their own kind of fireworks five hundred years ago out of liquid iron the metal for this was donated by the villagers and this is still the same to this day the traditional poor people's fireworks have developed into a real event the blacksmith still wear a traditional sheepskin and they use a ladle carved from a willow tree but nowadays up to 2,000 visitors come to each show in the mountain village it is 12 o'clock in China this means lunch at home one girl lives in a little house with his wife Xue Jian and his 18 year old son Peng Chang mothers Yoo Jun is a housewife when she met her husband he was already a fire thrower what does she think about her husband's dangerous job [Music] said ha that's a whole catalog Xinhua [Music] [Applause] lambda is a 13th generation iron thrower at the new year's festival but his son ping Chang does not want to continue in the family tradition [Music] also uh now but also white kids earlier but what heavy shower so when one might sure you got at least paint Chang comes along to collect the iron for the big event tonight the people in Hong Kong especially save up their old iron for this festival traditions carry a great importance in China [Music] it is 6 o'clock in the evening in one hour the big spectacle will begin Wonka and Son thank Chang are preparing the furnace it is the first time the Peng Cheng is helping to keep up the coals his father hasn't given up hope that paint Cheng will tread in his footsteps after all [Music] for the annual festival the village has even built a small Stadium today two thousand visitors are expected again a big event for the small village behind the stage the iron has melted for Winder it is now time for his big performance the most important tool the ladle made out of hard willow tree wood [Music] only protected by a sheepskin and a hat he enters the stage then it is finally time [Music] thank Jang is closer to the action this time but he still hasn't quite come to terms with all the sparks flying around Wanda is in the fire rain for almost a whole hour then the show is over [Music] my job [Music] the molten iron firework from China is truly spectacular and who knows maybe Peng Chang will change his mind after all at the site of this spectacular event for us it is time to travel on to down under the Australian mega city is Sydney known for its architectural highlights such as Harbour Bridge and the Opera House in this metropolis there are over 650 skyscrapers but one building is quite exceptional the one Central Park Tower a high-rise that combines nature and city the outside is completely overgrown with green plants we also discover a gigantic mirror construction on the roof we will find out later what its use exactly is in order to find out what this vertical garden is all about we're meeting facility manager kieran McCallister a couple of things you've noticed with green walls around the world is that there's usually a mark about two meters where people go and touch and feel so we're often doing replacements of plants in these lower sections because people go up to to see if it's real they are definitely real two hundred and fifty different plants grow on the facade they are attached with stone wool this gives them the necessary grip and also functions as its soil but a vertical garden too requires attention right now we have our maintenance team up there a maintenance team on site consists of six full-time people they're undertaking some pruning general pest maintenance and just keep making sure that everything's working correctly on the site over thirty six thousand plants grow here the vertical garden is not only an eye catcher it is also actively involved in improving the air quality in the city if you have a look closely at these leaves this is a fantastic example of what plants can do in the city all of this black certain mess that you see on these leaves is actually the particulate matter from the cars that we see next to us normally this would be stirred up into the air but plants have a fantastic ability of actually trapping this particulate matter contaminants from car fumes for example stick to the oily leaves of the plants special enzymes then turn the poisons into harmless substances again this way the vertical garden acts as an air filter for the city for this to work the plants need sunlight for this reason the architects have installed this unusual mirror construction on the green skyscraper a total of 320 reflectors make sure that the sunlight reaches all the levels that would otherwise be in the shade for most of the time but what is life like in the breathing skyscraper to find out about this we are meeting a resident Kenneth Winstead has been living on the 12th floor with his family since the building open [Music] living sustainably is expensive for his 65 square meter flat the stockbroker pays $3,400 per month as I said now it doesn't automatically system to see the punch so this there's no maintenance required is to experience elf I think someone comes once a year they come down and cuts just gets their beak so Kenneth doesn't have to water the plants himself due to the many plants the walls of the building are usually in the shade during the hot summer a huge advantage also through the evaporating water from when the plants are watered a cooling effect takes place this helps save energy Kenneth only uses the air conditioning on especially hot days but the vertical garden does have one setback for spiders and bugs it is the ideal environment the house also has its own water purification plant plant watering system and toilet both use recycled water this way the water consumption of the house is even lower than that of normal houses Kenneth can check his water and energy usage via an installed home panel electricity how much we've used the green skyscraper of Sydney a landmark for what our future could look like our journey takes us on to the Ukraine 8 a.m. in Kiev were paying $300 directly to tourist guide Elena at the bus terminal today we are visiting a mysterious place Chernobyl in the 1980s and catastrophe happened in the nuclear power plant there for $10 extra it's possible to rent a Geiger counter then the trip to the radioactive zone begins that is why we don't have proper toilets everywhere we don't have souvenirs and shops fancy restaurants hotels hardcore experience after a two-hour drive we reach the exclusion zone in a radius of 30 kilometers around the reactor there are strict entry controls without a permit no one may enter or leave the area therefore we all have to leave the bus and show our passports [Music] the other members of our group are from all over the world Finland Holland USA New Zealand and we all have the same goal to see the reactor just once okay so we successful the best reverse trip 12.8 got it you're welcome and said exclusion zone as well as a Lenna now the website states that there are very strict rules for when leaving the bus inside the zone stay together don't sit down don't place anything on the ground don't touch anything and stay away from so-called hot spots the hot spots are small areas in which the radiation is especially high our Geiger counters raise the alarm here for the first time everywhere in the world we are exposed to radiation about zero point 1 millisievert are normal at this hotspot it is 150 times more there's a small particle somewhere you shouldn't touch that particle but it's in the ground otherwise they would have clean it so it's just 16 1 minute 16 that's 8 minutes in an airplane now I'm a trip to here took 2 hours 3 hours in the airplane so there you have to be lucky if lucky is the correct word here our trip continues deeper into the exclusion zone on the way to the accident reactor number 4 Elena shows us the cooling towers of the formally planned reactors number 5 and 6 at the time of the accident they were still being built and were never finished here there are many places where the radiation is extremely high our tourists party is given a little time to look around the tower end radioactively contaminated moths grows everywhere but what effect does the radiation really have how dangerous is it to be here we decide to ask now we have like two or three or four nights one but over that's very high it was like five or six three some some food spots yes would say thank you with your exclusion zone maybe one kilometer away from the reactor so okay but there's nothing to come nothing the endurance actually really yes okay so when there's like a four it means it's like sitting in an airplane yeah it is true that during a flight we are exposed to a similar amount of radiation which is classified as harmless for pilots and frequent fliers almost as if to prove her point next Elena takes us to an abandoned village to meet a so-called reset ler [Music] eighty six-year-old Ivanova is one of 187 people that simply moved back to the exclusion zone after the evacuation and now live here again luckily we have a native Russian in our team who can ask the elderly lady a couple of questions [Music] West Virginia in the pre Guard facility limited one strategy Astrid yards Matthew the 86 year old neither has electricity nor water and lives completely independently onions potatoes mushrooms and apples everything she needs she grows herself in the contaminated ground of the exclusion zone we continue only a stone's throw away from the reactor is Pripyat 49,000 people lived here in the town at the time of the accident all of them were evacuated within three hours the only thing that is left now is a radioactively contaminated ghost town the amusement park is the world-famous symbol for the dramatic scale of the event [Music] and then it is finally time to go to reactor number four the heart of the exclusion zone the cause of the nuclear catastrophe at this point no one in our group would dream of how close we will get to the accident reactor only the alarms on the Geiger counters are proof we are getting closer [Music] not even 300 meters away from the scene of the accident the bus stops this is as close as we can go to the nuclear power plant that was concreted over 30 years ago and really the radiation isn't any stronger here than for example at the cooling towers that we visited this morning [Music] the atmosphere is depressing almost no one is taking pictures the accident and all its effects on the people and the environment seemed to be palpable here on our drive back it is also remarkably quiet on the bus we only find out how high the radiation exposure really was upon leaving the exclusion zone one last checkpoint only if you pass this screening test are you allowed to leave Chernobyl again radiation gauges probably still from the days of the Cold War measure if we are radioactively contaminated or not 70,000 tourists visit the exclusion zone every year but not a single one has had to be decontaminated yet and really during one day in Chernobyl we have picked up less radioactive radiation than during a two-hour flight we leave the scene of the accident feeling astonished as well as very thoughtful [Music] our search for mysterious places takes us on to the US state of Pennsylvania we are in a ghost town without houses or a postcode not even the sat-nav works here it's named Centralia the whole region carries the markings of coal mining but in 1962 an underground coal fire breaks out that obliterates the whole town since then the fire has been spreading underground of the once 1,300 people there are only nine left now my name is Harold Irvine I'm a resident at Centralia it took a whole year to gain Harold Moe vines trust in order for him to step in front of the camera usually the remaining nine residents don't speak out publicly anymore but we were able to convince Harold what is life like living on hot coals and completely without any neighbors I mean look around outside I mean it's a beautiful location and it's quiet not that I'm that rowdy but I you know I could have my music up as loud as I want and I'm not gonna interfere with anybody I don't have to worry about parking but on the other hand he lives here without the internet and without television Harold is a bus driver and he enjoys his lonely life in Centralia he doesn't see the danger deriving from the poisonous gases and also doesn't even believe in the existence of an underground fire well the government says it could burn for a thousand years I I would sort of doubt that most that is it's all nonsense I don't know where they come up with some of this stuff maybe Harold should join these two men in the car John and Tim work for the environmental agency of Pennsylvania we are at the place where the fire broke out more than 50 years ago it is definitely a man-made problem most mine fires are usually started by man-made whether it be through burning trash or you know if something as simple as a cigarette being dropped it could be any number of things the last witnesses of the houses that used to be here the chimneys the two of them are in Centralia once a month in order to conduct a so-called monitoring they assess the smoke and measure the temperature in the center of the fire apparently it is over 1,000 degrees hot there our reporter can feel it too and it can get harder depending on how what's going on underground but how could it even get this far in 1962 a landfill site catches fire the fire spreads to the coal mine coal has the ability to ignite itself if it comes in contact with oxygen through cracks in the surface or through a mine for example a chemical reaction takes place if the heat then builds up and reaches over 80 degrees a fire breaks out experts assume that the underground coal fire grows by 15 meters every year the gases that come to the surface are poisonous and partly carcinogenic the carbon that is set free isn't only bad for the atmosphere the soil and the groundwater are also contaminated Tim and John cannot understand that there are still five inhabited houses here yeah some some people don't believe that there is actually a fire here that's what they would like to believe that there is a conspiracy here that we are coming in here to try to take the coal reserves that's not the case we don't even own the coal reserves the homes that were purchased were only we've only bought the surface rights the coal is still owned by the borough Centralia let alone in Pennsylvania there are said to be 38 mine fires Centralia is the most prominent example in the land of opportunity the government can only watch how the fire keeps eating its way through the ground you are powerless it's such a large fire and there's a lot of unknowns about where it is and what piece what's going on and what changes to actually extinguish this fire which it was looked at at one time that would have cost like 600 million dollars to do it 7 million dollars were already spent on different attempts to solve the problem all without success Patrick Rooney is a former resident of Centralia like most people he was also forced to move but he's still drawn to his past to his hometown not much is left of his family home the government had all houses torn down right after the evacuation everything looks so small as compared to when you're a kid yeah this should have been like the front or the kitchen here I passed the back porch but it's not a good I had a good idea to walk any further we have an air pocket there a hole that opened up and back then he experienced everything connected to the fire it is a part of his childhood within one day the house had to be cleared I get home from school and there's no one around everybody's gone there's furniture missing there's no food and refrigerator because the refrigerator is unplugged there was a bottle of ketchup and cat food on the counter Patrick is 15 years old when he has to leave Centralia bit by bit almost the whole village is evacuated all in all the state provided more than 14 million dollars to the inhabitants for the resettlement Patrick's family received $13,000 for the move it was dangerous we didn't think anything up it was our normal everyday life you know now they look back on it my dad too made the right decision get out because somebody could've gotten killed apart from the carbon monoxide the smoke from underground also contains sixty other compounds our team is struggling with the gases as opposed to Patrick know I could smell the sulfur I wasn't able to you smell that for years kind of miss it Centralia by now sadly a place for catastrophe tourists and hobby photographers once a month Patrick goes to the former main road for highway 61 and collects rubbish you know don't do this don't leave this stuff lay around don't clean out your house and leave it lay around and use this as a dump I mean show a little bit of respect we were born and raised here he struggles seeing the place where he grew up like this experts suspect that the subterranean Inferno has already spread to a size of 160 hectares and Centralia is not an isolated case in the whole world each year about 600 million tons of coal burn it is a man-made global phenomenon but despite the risks coal is sought-after this is also the reason why only a few kilometers from burning Centralia coal is still being mine and in quite a rustic way the black gold still plays an important part for the region here on the east coast of the USA one of the biggest reserves of anthracite coal is located roberta separates the coal from the stones 100 tons of it arrive here every day a tough job [Music] for George one of 12 miners it is time to go underground for the next 10 hours the tragedy of Centralia also occupies his mind well you lost all the coal you lost the town so you have to learn from me see you later a lorry takes George 180 meters deep underground Roberto controls the lorry she works in 12-hour shifts and she is the only woman here [Music] I like a job that's physical that keeps me busy I can't sit and let somebody pay me to do nothing but now they're dumping the body today most people here still live off the cold David Lucas himself worked underground for 40 years until he fell ill with silicosis today he still comes to the mine daily he doesn't want to accept that his beloved Cole has been going up in smoke only a few kilometers away our government failed to know who the hell men are st. Raya has some of the best coal around here and it's notions are colder why they're not digging it out to down it I had no idea there were different approaches to the problem but none of them worked the problem if water was used acid would escape from the coal sink into the ground and poisoned the groundwater in this case water would act like oil in a hot frying pan it would accelerate the fire the only method that would make sense would be to dig the whole fire out and break it into small pieces exactly with this method the government of Pennsylvania is trying to get a grip on a coal fire about four hundred kilometers away opposed to in Centralia the fire here isn't underground but at the surface and you can really tell the snow has already melted away here it's like you're at the beach except it's a rocky beach instead of being on a nice sandy beach Kevin is the site's manager the bulldozer digs up the hot coals and pushes them to the top so that they can cool off in the cold air altogether 325 cubic meters of coal are moved here from A to B not an easy task at this poor visibility he can see what's directly in front of him so from a distance it looks a lot worse for him than it actually is when he's in his cab himself that's probably a matter of opinion fact is here the government reacted immediately critics say that the reason for this is that the International Airport of Pittsburgh is not even two kilometers away from the fire the municipality have invested 1.5 million dollars in order to protect the infrastructure and the passengers kevin is happy with the progress of the work imagine a barbecue but a barbecue the size of 10 acres so what you're dealing with isn't something that is very very small so on the left side the west side what you can see on the bottom is actually the floor of the coal seam so that means that they have reached the end point what we're going to do over here on the right which is the north or the east northeast side is an area that we have not addressed yet already in a few months time the project is supposed to be completed and the coal should be extinguished the state is demonstrating here that it has learned from the catastrophe in Centralia back in the former town center of the ghost town only five houses are left here Harold lives in one of them he likes to think back to the good old days [Music] it was a just a nice friendly atmosphere nobody ever locked her doors you couldn't ask for a better place to live there's so many changes and so much of it's not for the better take Sox for decades there was a legal dispute between the inhabitants and the government Harold and his neighbors even went to court because they didn't want to leave their houses for a little while now it has been clear Harold can stay that in his neighborhood there is only one other house left doesn't bother him he knows exactly why the others were torn down well that's part of the propagandist and part of the way the state function if they remove all visible signs they thought that was gonna like break people's will you know if there is if there was remains or ruins there's there's a hope you know [Music] back then he refused to take the money for the resettlement Harold loves his town they tried their best to to kill Centralia but uh as long as there's still any of the former residents still here and breathe and this town won't die Centralia is only one example of the worldwide phenomenon that probably won't be gotten to grips with anytime soon you
