Explorers: The management should have tried more to keep this company in business. I'm sure they would have seen the signs but couldn't change the outcome. People would have been talking about it like coca cola and the rest. |

Explorers: 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. 28 Likes 2 Shares |

Poveglia Island, Italy. Poveglia was constructed on a permanent fortification built by the Venetian government, and from 1793 - 1814 was used as a plague quarantine station, or“lazaretto” one of many in the Venetian lagoon. The tiny island is said to have hosted over 160,000 infected souls living out their final days and hours on the Island. 50 percent of the soil consists of human remains. Recently, mass graves have been found on the nearby islands containing the remains of thousands of plague victims. Poveglia has yet to be fully investigated. 12 Likes 1 Share

Tangalooma Wrecks. The photo actually shows the Tangalooma Wrecks in Queensland, Australia. The 15 boats were intentionally sunk back in the 1960s to create an artificial reef and harbour for smaller boats on the island. 3 Likes 1 Share

Federal Secretariat Ikoyi, Lagos Nigeria The old federal secretariat, Ikoyi was before its abandonment a power house for deliberation and implementation of issues that concerned the development of the country. It was an administrative complex built by the Yakubu Gowon led administration to cater for the administrative need of the country. When the capital was moved to Abuja, it was left to rot. Now it houses rodents, reptiles and hoodlums who take advantage of the derelict and overgrown compound to perpetuate illegal activities. https://www.naij.com/530754-photos-abandoned-federal-buildings-lagos-will-make-sad.html?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C2923403734 lalasticlala, mynd44 33 Likes 6 Shares

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. 18 Likes 3 Shares

A Graveyard of Abandoned Airliners at Benin City Airport, Nigeria. These photographs, captured at Benin City Airport in 2005 and 2010 respectively, are a good example of those scenes. In past decades, Nigeria’s airports have become the final resting places for passenger aircraft whose operators have gone out of business for a variety of reasons, or simply put them out to pasture. These images reveal the former Okada Air fleet of Boeing 727s and BAC-One Eleven 300s. In one image, 17 of the 18 BAC-111s acquired by the Benin City-based airline can be seen rotting away in a neglected corner of the commercial airport. With them is a larger, US-built 727, lingering on in an equally poor state of repair. http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2016/03/abandoned-airliners-benin-city-airport-nigeria/ lalasticlala, mynd44 3 Likes 3 Shares

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. 24 Likes 3 Shares

Nicosia International Airport, Cyprus. Prior to the Turkish invasion on Cyprus in 1974, this was actually the most important airport in the whole country. Today it is a no-man’s land, a United Nations buffer zone from which both Greeks and Turks are barred. 7 Likes 1 Share
