Travel destinations


DarkRoastedBlend has some photos of a ruined 12th century city in Afghanistan.....including the Mineret of Jam, the second largest religious tower in the world...

--------------------

Webecoist suggests a less cheerful destination is the Gates of Hell, located in Turkmenistan...
Don't blame this on Satan: It is man made, from a botched drilling hole for natural gas that caught fire and collapsed....and it's been burnning for over 40 years.



----------------------------
Riskmanagement discusses thiat one and also the Centralia mine fire and the Pacific ocean garbage patch...

and Spike has a larger list of man made disasters, including the Molasses spill and Bhopal...
