I shudder to think of how much money has been wasted on all this medical equipment we always see in abandoned hopitals........That unit almost looks new. Very strange tub

I bet when this place was running full tilt with a crew of engineers to take care of it that it was immaculate. I imagine it was a gorgeous sight with these engines and that red brick/tile floor.

Government Issued

Andy

Well it is Germany during the Cold War as Iraq/Afghanistan today you don't want the enemy getting their grubby little paws on stuff they could use against us. We have amnesty bins over there that we'd throw our old uniforms and boots into and they were emptied by US personnel to be burned as you don't want the enemy to have a readily available supply of current military uniforms

Todays Waste - Tomorrow's Weapon

Andy

Warnings such as that one are still alive and well today in the military. Its called opsec (operational security) and anyone who's ever watched 'AFN' (Armed Forces Network) is very familiar with the military's ridiculous commercials...they're pretty lame lol

I have lived my whole life in York PA with random trips courtesy of the US Army. Your website has always been an inspiration for urban exploration and this taste or home made it all the more real. Thank you for reinvigorating my desire to explore the dead and dying places of the world. This is the best site I have found... PERIOD!!!
