Quite unfortunate
In a city where majority are poorly housed
Anyway, the owners has nothing to lose. They're built with stolen money
don't be surprised they are housing stolen money

Willard Asylum, Willard, New York.


In 1869, the Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane was established.

But it had to shut down its operations in 1995.

Housing well over 4000 patients during its boom, more than half of the 50,000 patients admitted to the asylum died within its walls.

This makes the asylum’s morgue (pictured above) one of the creepiest places you can ever imagine.

Wow, I like creepy. Check my signature and get scared...

Unoccupied Irish Homes, Ireland.


At first glance, this looks like a nice and quiet neighborhood that any family would love to live in.

When you look a bit closer, you’ll see that these houses are not occupied, nor have they ever been.

Ireland has lots of neighborhoods that were built up, but after the housing collapse in 2008, these homes were never sold.

Although no one has ever lived here, it is creepy to walk these empty streets.

I sure say by now these house must have been occupied

Abandoned aircraft at David Monthan Airfield, Arizona, USA.



This is the world’s largest airplane boneyard, where the previous aircraft bodies from the US Marines, the US Navy, the US Army, US Airforce and the US Coast Guard now ‘lay to rest’ for scrapping, recycling or historical purposes.

Japan is not densely populated. Japan is experiencing a declining population. Birth rate is low and the number of old folks higher than younger ones.





You are right in Japanese decline in Birthrate but still Japan is listed among top 20 in the world, occupying number 11 most populated country, may be the old ones remaining find no joy in visiting and the new generation are busy creating and inventing new technology. Its just crazy changing world.

Igbenedion who set up this airline business abandoned it and built the first private university in Nigeria.

I wonder why he couldn't maintain this line of business tho. See waste of aircraft! cry
This country is a cursed country, see nigeria airways, see Okada air fleet. these beautiful airlines and others that have come after them have died a natural death just because of corruption and aero and arik air would soon join them too.

There is one particular story building along pH road Owerri, the owner of the building has died but changed his location and started building the massive house, unknown him one day he visited the site to pay his workers unfortunately one his Kins men who knows of his demise met him face to face and called his name, the moment he sighted him the man disappeared, that was how that building was abandoned till now. Even government doesn't even go near the building, explorer come and see it yourself.

hope they don't export these fishes to other countries oo
Explorers:
Abandoned mall in Bangkok, Thailand filled with Tilapia.



A mall in Thailand that used to be awash with shoppers is now teeming with fish after the abandoned building was flooded.

The New World Mall, in Bangkok, was closed in 1997 after it was found to have breached building regulations, before a fire in 1999 left it without a roof.

Rainwater slowly filled the building with water, causing a major mosquito problem in the community.

In an effort to rid themselves of the pests, the locals introduced freshwater talapia fish to eat the insects.

The fishes can be seen in hundreds.

This is the reason Nigeria must not go near nuclear energy until we have trained and competent personnel to manage it. The energy from it is great so is the disaster when things go south.
When u know that nigerians love each other is when nuclear plants are about to be erected
Hausa ppl be like, the igbo are our brothers i think the plant should be located in the east to bring economic development and the igbos will be like noo, our yoruba brothers are more capable than we are

Abandoned Movie Theatre, Detroit, Michigan


Detroit was once a thriving city, but after the fall of the motor industry, Detroit was left in shambles.

This beautifully designed movie theatre was one of many places that were left to abandonment, leaving behind a chilling reminder of how great this city once was.

If na Nig, they don vandalize that theatre and strip it bare.
