Bish1309 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 16 hours ago, pipedreams said: An Abandoned Russian Settlement In Norway On the top of the world at Svalbard, an archipelago situated between Norway and the North Pole, is a place that the world forgot for nearly a decade, a Russian mining settlement established by Sweden in 1910 but then sold to the Soviet Union in 1927, then completely abandoned in 1998. It’s only reachable by driving 140km by snowmobile during winter. Probably the safest place on earth right now. Nothing a little drywall and paneling couldn't fix. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a spy vs spy thriller where one side went to an old abandoned mining town in the Arctic to dig up cemeteries looking for those who had died of Spanish Flu. Wanted a starting point for a pandemic. Wonder if this was the town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. The contractor for Falling Water supposedly secretly put much more reinforcing steel in the cantilevered concrete than Wright specified, and still there have been problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the station still producing electricity? What move(d) the generators - water or steam? Was it producing AC or DC? If DC has it been converted to AC? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
