In this episode, we explore an abandoned steel factory in Charleroi, Belgium. While the majority of the complex was undergoing demolition, a few buildings on one side were still untouched. Unfortunately we were caught by security, but not before seeing almost everything we wanted to see.

You should make a compilation of times you got busted
It would be a short compilation
You guys are by far my favorite explorers. No hype , no child like banter. I get excited when a new video comes out. Thanks!!
Which explorers here on the RUclips supposedly have "child[-]like banter," according to you?
@@HelloKittyFanMan. I'm not going to mention names here Miss Kitty. Exploring with Josh.
Exploring with Josh is the Logan Paul of the exploring community lol
Look up shiey, my favorite explorer
check out Shiey
That green sand could possibly be resin coated foundry sand I work in a plant that produces it and sometimes it’s dyed for the customers to identify different types easily
either that or floor sweeping compound. though i don't know why anyone would want to polish the floors of a steel plant.
It's an absorbent to soak up oil or chemical spills on the floor. You sweep it up afterward.
Chancellor Merkelisms
Basically spill magic
@@chancellor170 Depends on the chemicals involved I have seen coloured/dyed cement powder as a common one, it doesnt set without water and you can get oils and such up with just that and a broom.
It could also be leak detection powder for a dust control or ventilation system. Basically you dump it in the intake and wait to see the where the colour shows up on the ducting. Given it's in a coal milling building and how important dust control is in that environment, I can see it being there. Also that stuff sticks to everything and you can see it on the beams above too.
You guys's production quality is getting more impressive every video!
Nothing beats their cathedral explore with the slider shots
Yeah I'm shock how it feels like I'm watching a TV Documentary
Agreed. The way you narrate parts and give a short history lesson here and there is nice. Great quality and awesome content, what more could you ask for.
Hey, Charlie, wanna know a slicker way to say "you guys's"? (And you can even click on the 3-dot menu button and then "edit" to really do it here, more slickly than you could bump out a bunch of words for telling me why you don't want to!)
* "You _guys'_ "! See how slick that is? :-)
Yeah it's up to the quality of something you'd see on a cable channel though I'd say BETTER to be perfectly honest.
On this episode we are exploring jail
We are having our anuses explored by a big guy named Bubba
The next episode will be in jail.
@@uuuultra no life, no school, no work, no goals, no future, so you spend all your time all day replying to every single comment, but strangely you never write any original comments of your own. What a pitiful and pathetic worthless existence.
Someone Else meanwhile you literally spent time replying lol
Lol
I’m glad you guys have stuck to your urban exploration and photography skills unlike other urbex channels who moved on to “haunted” videos or are disrespectful. You guys don’t deface property and respect the abandoned aspects of the buildings leaving it for others to enjoy while spreading what others can’t do. Thanks and keep going on
protip: If you're ever forced to format your sd cards, keep them but don't begin recording on them again. There's plenty of software to recover the "formatted" data and you won't lose much, if anything at all.
This is the most underrated comment here. A soft format deletes no data, just pointers to data.
But not if you had tapes of Epstein not killing himself. That can never be recovered
What is a good unformat tool for SD cards?
in many case if police are called, they will confiscate the SD cards , and if,...(IF) ... you get them back they will have been double wiped, erased & reformatted with their special utility wiper which renders all previous data un-retrievable so nothing can be retrieved
Expert tip- Always carry an extra SD card (of no value) and in the event something like this occurs you are prepared to use slight of hand to swap the cards and stash the good card somewhere on your body.
Chair just chillin': ✔
Suicidal pigeon:✔
Possibility of being sent to a European prison:✔
But no Christmas decorations
@I'm under your bed In Belgium??? :S
That makes a good rap
It's trespassing in Belgium, you don't go to "European prison" for that
@@halfabeet it was a joke.
That water tower! Cinematography ,content and editing just keep getting better with each vid.
Priceless footage that could have been gone forever. Good, quick thinking his save this masterpiece forever for all to see.
Factory closes:
Urban Explorers: It's free real estate
It's for you, Jim boonie.
Another great video! Love your work! Quick thinking at the end there, glad you got out okay.
realistically they can format the cards and just use recovery software to get everything back again as long as they don't overwrite it.
Jared Reid You’re absolutely right there, glad that software exists, I’ve had to use it myself!😬
@@jaredreid2661 I was just typing this exact reply right now!
Why would he want to delete it? It's a free country! Oh wait is it part of U.S?
LOL, @@williss11, when did Belgium suddenly get "annexed" by the USA? (Belgium _may_ be free anyway, but I don't know.)
So glad to hear that part of this place will be preserved. Your videos have helped convince me that more old industrial ruins should be treated as historically important locations (with tourism potential!)
Even after all these episodes I still love the intro please never change it. Its starts the video of brilliantly
Awesome footage guys. We went there yesterday. and we didn't saw your video yet. But security is even tighter. we went in the same spot as you did, but immediately we heard a siren. We thought it was from a nearby factory. but within 2 minutes the white security van was driving across the property. so we headed straight out again as it was also pouring like crazy.
I wish these were on the Discovery Channel, and or Netflix as a series!
There would be too many law issues. Trespassing unallowed an area to film where you are not allowed to film for business porposes would follow to some law sues just to name one thing.
The next thing would be something called company secret. There are lying around old documents of a company. Those documents could be used by someone to claim something what does not belong to him for example production instructions or the circuit diagram of a machine. A malicious person could use those documents for bad.
The content is great and well made, but it would be a shame if they had to close down their yt channel because of such "little" things. I would like to see more legally made content. Perhaps it would be less exciting, yes, but would give those 2 possibilities to ensure they can do this way longer.
x y, exactly
God no, producers ruin everything
T would be amazing but it’s ileagal to trespass so they would need to ask every person to explore the property. If they could do that, the could be.
@@uuuultra too much time on your hands? Replying to every comment? Never write any comments of your own? Every reply you write is only a few words long? Do you even watch the videos? Or do you just scroll through the comments replying to every one? You are definitely no older than 14. Maybe only 12.
Hi Michael & Brian, that has to be the best abandoned control room I've ever seen, wow everything was still intact and looked as though it would work if turned back on. Such a cool explore in a fantastic location. It was very lucky in a way that you were caught when you were almost done filming. Thanks for sharing. x
13:30 that shot looks like it could be an amazing desktop background. Old technology piece with new plant life.
golden rule for liege and charlerois: avoid the ground at all cost, always stay on the upper levels, use the "bridges" or tunnels to pass from building to building. And never go go back where you have been (possibly) seen/detected before.
Why quotes around "bridges"? Are they not real ones, or something?
@@lotecque: Who are you to try to make up the supposed limitation of what a bridge is? If something is a pathway across a gap, it's a bridge. You've never heard of a pedestrian bridge?
@@HelloKittyFanMan. It depends if they are reasonable to use. If there are conveyerbelt-bridges: perfect, in most caseses walkways on both sides of the belt, well covered (against view). if it's a big pipe: Sometimes an "unshielded" walkway, but potential risk of beeing spottet. If it's just a 2m diameter Pipe... no walkway... if it's dry, if you a confident in your fate... but you wil be hightly visible against the sky....
Hello Kitty Lover Man!, wow you suck
@@uuuultra when someone like you scrolls through the comments of every video, and replies to every single comment by vomiting up a few words of random, irrelevant, pointless nonsense, it is a clear sign they are an ignorant, immature, juvenile, obnoxious bored depressed loser like you who has too much time on your hands. Sad.
Haven't watched your vids in a year or two. Thought you'd gone silent, but realising now you've been doing amazing work. Absolutely brilliant cinematography from your recent vids, lads. Thank you so much for this.
Not only missed the motion sensor but the “oddly placed motion sensor!”
Seems like it was perfectly placed. Right next to a prime room that *everyone* will want to enter, at waist level so as not to catch the eye. Smart of them.
I love how they bring respiration masks but never gloves lol.
13:38 i know no one really cares, but it's kinda amazing (for me atleast..) when you think: that fan with a slowly weakening magnetic field is moving because of the wind, generating tiny amounts of electricity though it's circuity, generating tiny amounts of heat and electronic interference... *all on it's own* , with no one to manage it. idk why but that fact is really epic to think; so many unobserved things just "go" all by themselves.
hehe I like the fans that go brrrr
You guys' videos are always the best put together of all the UE channels. Keep it up!
I love how well your videos are put together. Informational, beautiful and well edited. Its amazing and im thankful you visit so many places to provide to us.
check out western/central Canada's industrial side, next to no trees for 1000's of km, for growing barley canola flax wheat, for live stock feed. you need to be in a jet at 35'000-45'000 feet to get a good view of it.
Smart thinking going during a World Cup match the country is playing in. The whole country would have been distracted
Probably why that guard was so pissed they tripped the alarm, he had to go and do work
@@Moose_338 Yeah, he could have been partying with his friends and family
After watching a bunch of paranormal videos which are clearly fake, this is a breath of fresh air.
Well, you can't know for sure if they're fake. For example, the exploration in asylum one was real. They didn't get any ghost comms. But if they had, can you be so sure you could tell if they were just making it up? Hmmmm... I don't know that you can.
Shut up nerd, they're fake
Shut up, asshole @@sososylvester49, some may be, but you don't know that about every single one out there.
Their videos are almost professional looking. When I watch it on a tv it feels like I'm watching a show on Netflix. Their editing is so good too.
@cdawgadizzle fahsho You know this how? Maybe they make good money on the channel here?
@cdawgadizzle fahsho I'm probably older than you are "son".
I've voted Republican my entire life, but I'll continue to vote Democrat until Republicans stop betraying their entire value system for the sake of a moron who has no leadership capabilities whatsoever. Sheep, and lemmings. Nearly 80K dead and rising due to his ignorance. Using my brain, yes.
@cdawgadizzle fahsho Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
@cdawgadizzle fahsho oh yes sir, thank you. I never truly believed anything that I believed. Every Republican vote I made was a fraud. I never truly believed in limited government. Never really admired Reagan, nor George W Bush, nor his father. Never believed in the importance of a strong defense sector, nor free trade, nor the sanctity of unborn life, and on and on.
Finally something great to watch... Your video made my Friday night 👍👍
Where do you live? It’s Friday night for me
I love how they bring respiration masks but never gloves lol.
Elias Pinero at least they have respiration masks they used to not wear them
@@wlcollart Yeah they finally bit the bullet and bought them. I was watching some of their older videos and some of the spots they went into were clearly a huge health hazard and they were just casually breathing all that toxic air in. :P
or proper shoes.
They are not very smart kids
@@jonathanc6431 exactly, let's walk over boards, nails, glass and through water with canvas shoes on
I'm glad you guys are okay, stay safe out there and keep up the good work, I'm proud of how far you've came ❤️
Thanks again for showing us places that most of us would otherwise never, ever see!
4:57 The leaning chair of chillin.
Ooh wow, you went to Belgium, cool i live there, but you got lucky you got no cops on you, because you are not allowed to fly a drone without taking a expensive training class for drones and are required to have a permit for flying it. And they dont like drones either
Yeah it is, and even what the proper people said at last when they are busted by security, you wont be at jail for trespassing, but you will get a high ticket for it though, they say you go to jail just to scare off and never come back, if you have a accident on such forbidden places, insurance wont cover your accident because you entered without permission. Belgium kinda sucks in some ways, same for the politicians
@@heespandexx7785 Ha oui et mon père a travaillé un peux plus loin a la fabrique de fer a marchienne au pond c'est la fafer mais je crois que maintenant elle ne fonctionne plus si tu la connais aussi
Heespandexx - Good luck getting them to pay. I'd head back to America never to return there again. I wouldn't pay them anything.
Can someone tell me what happen to the bird???
@@williss11 legend has it he is still pounding the window to this day
Thank you both for another amazing tour of this amazing steel factory!! Your narration and filming of the places you go is getting better and better.... Very professional!!! Thank you again, looking forward to your next explore! Keep healthy and safe in your travels!
Beautifully shot. This whole video was satisfying and gorgeous. Wonderful view of everything 🙏🏼👌🏼🖤
the trouble you go for this show is amazing. so worth the trouble in my opinion, keep up the good work, i love watching all your adventures.
Love watching u guys man. Helps me with my stress and anxiety
Thank you guys for providing some history on the places you explore. So much more entertaining that way. Beautiful shots guys, great job :)
Now, that was an interesting, well filmed and well narrated video! I grew up in a harbor/rail/industrial area in California and our family would frequently pass by some old abandoned factories when I was a little girl. I always wanted to go in and see what wonderful things were behind the walls of windows. Thanks for bringing back a possible cause of my old age fascination with things abandoned!!! I was also in love with abandoned and infrequently used draw bridges of all sorts! What a cool childhood.
As a bird lover I got really sad when the bird was trying to get out. It was really sad hope the bird is ok :)
Cutie Huntress He’s in birdie heaven
What about the butterfly???
It seemed like it was fine after it calmed down.
The birds fucking dead
HOLY FLOOF GANG you know what else is upsetting? Babies being aborted.
Amazing film as allways , I genuinely look forward to your next film and I’m never disappointed , your film making skills are great 👍
Well, they're making videos, though, actually.
I love how you tell the stories behind what your filming. You bring life into videos. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
I just love your guys' work. You treat things with such respect that other explorers and other youtubers in general don't have.
I'm glad to see you guys are wearing protective masks. Well done!
13:30 Absolutely beautiful. I love how nature reclaims mans lost territories
@I'm under your bed Well you occupied your house too then...
Your use of light and shadows is really evolving beautifully , fellas. This is even more beautifully shot than your others. Kudos to you both!
Absolutely amazing. Please, stay safe out there.
Quickly becoming my favourite channel
VEE3RDEYE Are you down with O P P? Do you know me?
HEYA proper ppl, i come from France, and i know this place, you guys are Nuts ! Amazing Job from you by the way, i follow you since a while now and u Rocks !!
I go from time to time and I always wondered what it looks like, thanks to you it's done ! Great video as always
That was absolutely wild. THANK YOU GUYS for going and documenting these places before they're destroyed for good.
"Delete all the footage."
"I'll only delete part of it."
"Understandable, have a nice day."
proper people: i hope there aren't any alarms in here.
oddly placed motion sensors: *am i a joke to you?*
I always take so many screenshots while watching these videos. Old factorys are such great places for pictures
I seriously, genuinely, cannot believe you guys aren't more popular. Iv'e been watching your videos for a long time now and you never cease to make amazing videos. Your talent and effort deserves a lot more of attention.
Great video! Absolutely love these abandoned steel factories!!!
The content quality keeps getting better and better
thank you guys for another amazing video, I had a tough day at work and watching your videos always takes me out of my funk.
Great job as always. Beyond challenge, talent and aesthetic side, you're real transmitters of a dying world. Valuable work !
Great video as always! Those big industrial buildings are so cool looking makes me think they are great locations for post apocalyptic movie sets :-)
Did anybody else envision Homer Simpson with an open box of doughnuts snoozing away at the controls? 🍩
It's the first thing I thought of.
No, but I keep hearing Bart in my head saying "Dad, why did you bring me to a gay steel mill?" also "Hot stuff coming through." and "We work hard, we play hard."
Very nice. It's amazing what an old abandoned factory can look like when there isn't any vandalism. Subscribed.
That complex is massive. Hard to wrap ones mind around coming up with the plans for each building and what goes where. Fantastic video.
As soon as you started talking on this video, a buzzard outside my window suddenly started making all sorts of noises. I guess he's encountered y'all before and recognized your voice.
Been a while since I caught a video of yours, I wish I could go exploring with some friends
Great to hear some stuff will remain! I was looking in awe and sadness about the fact that all of this will be gone...So many insanely beautiful buildings!
Loved the cinematography of this one. One of your best vids yet!
Fantastic production quality, reminds me of a vice documentary 👍
That’s for sure one of the cooler looking control rooms you’ve ever found.
Absolutely amazing. One of my favorite props ever.
Probably some of the best visual scenes you guys have ever done.
Love your work but please take asbestos seriously!
Katharine W blah blah blah
N Chill they’ll regret it when they can’t breathe.
@@IratePuffin yep.
Bring back asbestos
@@stephenbenoit Calm yourself Rick
The Proper People: hopefully there is no alarms in this building
Alarm: I'm about to end this mans whole career
Twitter!!
@@uuuultra obsessive compulsive obnoxious comments spammer.
I get so excited every time you post a new video? The two of you so such amazing work. It gets better with each video.
I LOVE (and admire) that if The Proper People have a new video out, its so reliable, you know its gonna be good no matter what. Never annoying and hyper, never pushy with stuff, just great content, interesting....perfect amount of discussion and back info....just stay safe guys.....:)
Wow such a incredible video :D
Poor little butterfly and the pigeon banged into the window
Hey is 2 km from my home. What a pitty I didn't know I had invite you for a drink after your visit. And guide you against some interesting place. I sent you message on your site if by hasard are still in the area. :)
Same
@@moneyisenergy bonjour cher voisin 😁
I live not too far from Charleroi and I have seen those factory buildings many times. I always wondered what was still inside of them. Thanks to the proper people now I know! :) Also that is not a very friendly area there, lots of used seringes on the sidewalks, ewww.
Always so cool to see you guys exploring in our little country 🇧🇪! Love the vid, so interesting!
Wow have been waiting for you guys to come out with a new video thanks guys!
Wow that thumbnail looks like a scene from Warhammer 40000K
Lol yes. I tought about it and also looks like apocalyptic series or steampunk stuff. Idk
@@Kusunoky Right!
I could've watched that for another 20 minutes, so awesome and interesting it's a shame you got caught 😕
Great quality video as always guys!
My favorite video yet!! Love you guys!! Keep making awesome content!!!
The control room was just great. To bad you got interrupted, btw the security man, didn't have the right to demand you deleted anything, just a powertrip.
Ummm, do you really want to escalate it when you are on private property you aren't supposed to be on? Don't cooperate and he could easily call the cops and have them arrested...and not being citizen they may not even be allowed to post bail. Pro tip, if you are already breaking the law, don't piss off people at the same time.
@Bill Williams Tell that to Charlie Hebdo.
"Bad" is a place they can go to now? How can that work? And... love your stray comma right after "man," haha. :-p
@@HelloKittyFanMan. - You must lead a very lonely life. No one like "that person"...
You must lead a very confused, stupid life, @@daneclark3161, since you obviously have no clue of what a simple clarification question is.
Beautifully edited video and it wasn't clickbait! Gotta love it! 👏
Another great vid guys👍🏻.
Love that little intro tune! what is it?
Wish we had cool stuff to explore around my end.
Search RUclips for "Proper People intro" and you'll find it. By all appearances it is their own original song, which is pretty amazing. It's available on SoundCloud also.
The Proper People need coffee. For these awesome videos!
I love seeing these old factories. I always try to think of the people that worked there and the families that were fed and clothed with these jobs.
You two keep getting better and better. At this point, i’m seriously thinking being a Patreon supporter of Proper People! ❤️❤️
It is criminal that you guys don't have 1 Mill subs yet. RUclips, Vines, TikTok, etc is full of adults acting like kids to try and get the young people's views. You guys are one of the few that are actually mature and don't bend to try and appeal to the younger demographic. Please don't change. Awesome video as always, what an amazing place. I would love to see a vlog or one off special about what you guys get up to in between explores. That'd be really interesting. Cheers guys
congrats on 700k 🥳
great exploration video guys thanks for sharing it 👍👍🤘🤘
Just came across you guys channel. Great stuff👍🏽👍🏽subscribed.
Really awesome shots. If it were at a lower framerate it could be scenes from a movie
Finally, you're exploring a place where I can read stuff cause I speak French lol
Wait... I see what you did there.
Well, then you'd be at home reading their English-based stuff too, obviously.
But then "doodsgevaar"
@@wilfreddv Nederlands haha
I've went through all your stuff some time ago now and broken window theory didn't cut it for me. Glad to see new content again!
Awesome explore guys . I worked in Plant that had a bunch of mothballed area's that I was able to Explore before it was completely demolished . Always enjoy these . You do a Great Job documenting this stuff . Tks
"failed to notice this motion sensor...." -oooof whoop
