This Silent Hill Bashny.Net

Silent Hill - a city which for many years under the raging underground fire - for us just a horror movie from the same computer game and movie. However, on the US map really is a city under fire that burns for 47 years.

Americans have difficulty believing that their prosperous country, it turns out, there is a prototype of Silent Hill. But the facts do not argue. Fire under the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, began back in 1962. Ironically, the longest urban fire arranged volunteer firefighters. Guys just decided to burn trash in an abandoned coal mine. But, as it turned out, mine was abandoned in vain: he was still in the old dog, so much that 50 years from now enough. I must say that around Centralia entirely deposits of anthracite, so that, according to the scientists, this campfire burn for at least another year 250.





Burn, burn clear! In order not extinguished!

Interestingly, the authorities do not pay attention to the underground fire as many as 17 years despite numerous complaints about carbon monoxide poisoning in the city and her.



The scale of the problem impressed officials only in 1979, when the mayor Centralia personally faced with the consequences of the fire: it turned out that at a gas station that he owned, the temperature of the gasoline in underground reservoirs is 80 ° C. However, due publicized problem was in 1981. Only an accident nearly ended the death of 12-year-old boy, forced the state government to consider seriously. Cleft depth of 50 meters suddenly opened up beneath their feet teenager when he went peacefully to the backyard of his house.



Fortunately, the boy seriously hurt, but this case was sufficient to was decided to evacuate the population.
Today Centralia - a real ghost town. Of course, he - not the nest of demons as "toy" Silent Hill, but still walk through Central - no trip to her grandmother in the village. Represent a threat to the evaporation of sulfur and carbon monoxide, land subsidence and dilapidated buildings.



Again ironically named city of Centralia was the least gustonasёlnnym point in the United States: in 2007 there were only 9 people. These persistent "tin soldiers" of this love with his ghost town and it did not intend to leave. One is forced to recall the ending of "Silent Hill": a ghost town and not let the main character and her daughter into the world. But if they are kept in the afterlife curse, the residents of Centralia holds love for his ruined and deserted city.
