Only time something like that happened to me was when I fell through a barn floor into a basement. It was only a 5 foot fall.

I was taking pictures of my wife at an abandoned university at night, and she told me "If you ever see anything that might be a ghost in any of your pictures, just delete it and never tell me about it." She's a brave person but the idea of ghosts terrifies her. This is good though. You can tell people you're a ghost hunter and they'll let you go anywhere. Let's just make sure that everyone's favorite ghost hunter doesn't find out about this. What is a rebel?

Is that true? in japan, due to the very small amount of space in the cities, when a business is closing, the place will be soon demolished to build new stuff... so only mine, hotel spa in the mountain or old village are still available it s rare to see a cool ue site in Tokyo, even if Kuroneko (that i don t unfortunatly know) found some.... sometime promoter buy a package of old house to build huge mansion... they really try their best to let the past behind them i guess it s the same in Korea.... spiritoflouis www.louiscyprienrials.com NAN  Location: rochester NY bathroom expert  |  |  Re: Accident because of unsafe flooring... <Reply # 26 on 11/13/2007 1:31 PM >   I'm glad you survived to tell your story.

It's a bit different actually. The urban renewal process is always ongoing, and Koreans aren't interested in the past either. But there seem to be inefficiencies, and often sites will be left abandoned for years, right in the middle of Seoul waiting for demolition. One of my main sites right now is an entire university campus not five minutes from my home, right in the middle of the city. There's also a department store that was abandoned midway through construction near the airport and left sitting for around five years so far. I don't know why they do it. Never been out in the countryside, but I hear there's an abandoned town somewhere.

It is a bit different actually. This is kind of right and results in stuff in rural areas staying un-touched for decades, but often (not always) stuff in central Tokyo and Osaka stays abandoned for five to ten years. As an example, the land used for Roppongi 1-chome was filled with houses for almost ten years before they built Izumi Gardens, Roppongi 6-chome for about five, Toranomon is still waiting after ten years for developers. Shinjuku has parts at least five years abandoned, and some other stuff in Shibuya for two - three years. Gunkan apato lasted less than a year though, and Dojunkai in Harajuku maybe just six months. As you said, the UE DB has a few places, you just need to know where to look! Damn, that sounds like a nasty fall too. I'll tell you about my one and only privately. Still hurts... Neko.

I have been lucky not to experience any major injuries while exploring. I've only come close to falling through a floor once. Was exploring an old theatre, walking through the rotted wooden floor offices in the front of the place. I knew it was pretty dangerous to be walking through, so I was checking my every step just in case. What I didn't account for was the floor breaking through under and behind me after I stepped onto it. Luckily both my legs went through and I landed crotch first on a support beam. Otherwise I would have taken a tumble into the lobby below. I don't think I would have gotten injured too badly, and I was right in the middle of downtown across from a police station... so if I did get hurt, I wouldn't have to go far. Still, for that second where the floor broke and I fell through, my heart was racing and I felt completely helpless. > The hierarchy of power dictates that the person with the most power does the least amount of work and retains the highest benefit. hatsumi   |  |  Re: Accident because of unsafe flooring... <Reply # 32 on 11/19/2007 1:12 AM >   i havent explored much in the way of old buildings so my experience with rotting floors has been zero so far...none the less i am always weary of my footing when exploring photo by Orfi going through the underground ventilation system just recently...the vent was metal as you'd expect but not designed, i imagine, to be walked through at one point i knew i was walking thru a section which had a a train tunnel below it with high voltage power lines...... so i placed my feet with due care nevertheless excellent location.....we take risks in hope of reward [last edit 11/19/2007 3:09 AM by hatsumi - edited 1 times] drainasaurus maximus Steed  Location: Edmonton/Seoul Gender: Male Your Friendly Neighbourhood Race Traitor  |  |  Re: Accident because of unsafe flooring... <Reply # 33 on 11/20/2007 10:30 AM >   Here's an accident waiting to happen.

I thought I was the only to ever do that -- "Watch the hole." "What hole -- oh. THAT hole. Shit." Here's a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you.
