hydro-pruf

urban explorationThis building could have used some waterproofing! But like so many other industrial structures on the eastern seaboard, it was abandoned and left to the mercy of the elements. Rain, snow and ice have all taken their toll on the evacuated structure. Oh, and several hazardous chemicals left behind, including radioactive waste and copious amounts of sulfuric acid, might have something to do with its current condition. One should step carefully on the brittle floors. And use caution on top of the building-- while taking in the panoramic view of New York City, it is easy to become distracted and not pay attention to the smushy roof. While there might not be holes all the way down to the first level, falling even one story into the murky swamp of moss and mold growing on the cement floor of the top story would probably hurt enough.
