Spent a ton of time here in college over 20 yrs ago. There was a cow that got into a building, fell through a floor and died stuck hanging halfway through it. I have photos somewhere…
just went there today! i call the town Bomba Town and I more or less think that the orange and broken down factories are called the Keystone Ordanace Works.
They are Gould’s pumps.
Never even went to the most interesting part of the bomb factory ! The two giant water reservoirs . Missed the best area
There is, in case you dont know very high rates of cancer today and hundreds of years to come due to contamination of water and earth, and air, etc....
It was necessary
Did you see the deer at 23:36 ? Just was expecting a response haha. My wife and I have been here before and it is a super cool place to explore!
Yes, there were several deer when we went. That was the only one we caught on video.
I live here I was wondering wht buildings did what I always wanted to go in the wooden one it used to be all up but it’s so unsafe been falling for years but did U see all the mini buildings there like 15 all in a row so many 100ft but anyways riding snowmobiles is awesome and jst knowing they buried all tht tnt somewhere
The Army removed all the TNT at the end of WWII. Some structures were steam cleaned for 60 hours. Others were burned down because they were too contaminated.
@@urbanexplorersmosescarmela4550 my grandpa owns a building/ we call them igloos but yes they burried a lot too but it’s safe now
Do you have to ask permission going there or it's for general public view??
When we were there, we saw another couple exploring plus a big family group on half a dozen ATV's. The place is huge. We went twice (walking) and Moses returned a third time on a mountain bike. Each visit was at least 5 miles of travel.
We believe the property is part of the Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) and owned by Greenwood Township. As always, Urbex is done at your own risk.
If u go and the fence is unlocked ur aloud in if u go and the fence is lock it’s enter at ur own Risk I love here I used to not be aloud in there at all and they would flip out and chase you but only if you steamed copper and scrap and machine u can collect a cool memory piece but not bags and bags to make money off his property I forget the guy who bought it but he bought it from the army long time ago I can look up land owner it’s Larry KEBERT and he says fuck you loo jkjk but yeah same guy thts always own it don’t let him catch u unless ur just taking pictures but if we hear anything we leave # BRAAPPP #BRAAAAAP! Bravo-Brappp
The reason the cows were left in that area is it’s EXTREMELY radioactive and the cows were full of cancer. Even the fish in the ponds are full of cancer. They say that feral cows still roam the land because there became two different groups. It’s said that they apparently got all of the cows but because the one group was feral it’s said that cows still roam. The reason it’s pasture is because there are underground bunkers full of unstable TNT, and there not sure where they all are so no can build
Where would the radioactivity come from? TNT is not radioactive.
The TNT was not stored in underground bunkers. The storage bunkers were above ground off of Lake Road and some have been converted to houses. The TNT is long gone.
Ha 😂That’s not true lol I live right by this , there’s no wild cows hasn’t been any cows there for many years lol and those that were up to ten years ago were for standard farming practices owned locally . The lakes are full of bass there’s tons of single headed two eyed -deer there too I shot two of them every year lol your listening to old wives tales. It wasn’t a uranium mine bro
