This video was super fun to work on because I'm kind of obsesses with abandoned places around the world. Theres just something thrilling and creepy about these giant structures that are now hollow and lifeless. There is always a good story, and these places are always very visually interesting... ALSO make sure you make it to the end for special BONUS FACT that I discovered while traveling in easter Europe!

Hello Nick, love these videos. A possible SITREP on the next Smosh Lab?

[purplestar]

I loved all those structure so so many history in one building

I was in Vienna last year with my class and we saw the same flak tower at that exact location!! Our history teacher told us the story behind it. It feels oddly misplaced in this park/garden area haha

[cabbageman]

love your vids i think you should do it every single day!!!! #SCIENCE

[ilovebeingprecious]

The Vienna tower is interesting!!! Once I get back to Europe I will find that :))

Loved this video. I always thought if I ever somehow made a tonne of money overnight, I would travel the world taking pictures of nature reclaiming sites like these.

I was hoping Six Flags New Orleans would make this video :) it's my favorite abandoned site. I spent my 5th birthday in the dark because of Hurricane Katrina

Let's go visit them all together :)
Half of them look amazingly beautiful while the other half just looks super spooky.
But I'm okay with both.

There's a TB hospital in my hometown of Lima, OH. We would hop the fence and play paintball there. And I took my girlfriend and other friends ghost hunting there years ago. Nice way to "get close."

That unnecessary "whoop whoop" sound every time a photo zips by (too quickly, by the way) is extremely annoying.
