Close calls?

Ever have the weather turn on you when you were in a drain or something similar?

My close call:

A few years ago before I found exploring folks here on UER, I used to go solo. I kept seeing these really cool channels from the road and went to check them out. I was having a great time going through the little tunnels and looking at all the graffiti...when it started raining. I've never ran so fast in life. I made it out and hid under some bushes to watch the water rise. This was not just a shower, it was a full blown storm.

1. before


2. during


3. after

I wish I could body raft like Superman...

My close calls involve hellholes, removed stairs and failed concrete anchors.




Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

Beth Steel and various sites had cut out stairs you had to negotiate.
Nothing compared to this joy ride to hell...

Atlas F missile complex. That last step was a bitch... 20 feet down. Ended up sitting on my ass on the last step, legs swinging in space.
A hand on the rail and fast reflexes were all that saved my dumb ass.
Had I been drinking I'd been KIA.

Climbing the ladder on the side of a chimney, felt it start to lurch backwards and practically slid down it just in time to avoid it pulling entirely away from the chimney, which would have meant a fall that probably would have been down past the edge of the roof and another 4 floors to the ground. (I looked afterwards, and all of the wooden screw-anchors were either heavily rotted, or nonexistent.)

I was at an abandoned steel mill and the tower didn't have any stairs so after a bit of climbing me and my buddy found a way up. We got a few floors up and we heard talking. Listened in for a bit and it was some gang members talking about a hit. Of course my buddy sneezed and we took off. Got followed for a short while but eventually lost them and haven't gone back yet
