I came across a cool new tv show that I thought might interest some of you. It's called Abandoned Engineering and is originally broadcast on Discovery Channel Russia. Currently there's 4 episodes, probably more to come. I was able to find links on youtube, so I included them. Enjoy!
Abandoned Engineering
"The series explores how and why they were built, consider the financial and social costs of their failure and examine the environmental and ecological impacts. The series also explores how experts came up with plans to make something beautiful or useful from the ruins."
E1 - Silent Cities - aired 2017-02-18
"Empty buildings and infrastructures are full of the echoes of real people and vanished lives, leaving many questions unanswered and mysteries unsolved. We explore the world’s strangest engineering projects that created empty silent cities. We ask why a ruined cold war air base has become a no-go area and how a tiny Japanese mining island becomes the most over-crowded place on the planet. We find out if the street layout of the Soviet Union’s model city becomes a matter of life or death for its population. And how did Nazi Germany create a huge mind control facility at a holiday resort?"

E2 - Mission: Space - aired 2017-02-25
"We aim for the stars and find out why unwanted battleship guns allow the United States to gain vital information about the borders of space. We ask how the shattered remains of a secret Nazi base became the first on the path to a new world, with the development of the ground-breaking V2 rocket. We explore a forgotten structure deep in the Arizona desert to ask if it is the true home of America's space programme. And we reveal the bizarre link between a discarded oil drum and a Cold War struggle to survive in zero gravity."

E3 - Lost Bridges - aired 2017-03-04
"Soaring across some of the widest rivers and deepest valleys on the planet, bridges have always been at the cutting edge of engineering. We travel high into the mountains of the Colorado Desert to find out why a hidden engineering masterpiece could disappear at any time. We ask why a stretch of overgrown concrete in a Czech reservoir is known as 'Hitler's bridge'. We find out how the highest bridge in the world collapsed in less than one minute. Finally, we uncover the story behind Cape Town's invisible bridge, which never carried a single vehicle."

E4 - Ghost Ships - aired 2017-03-11
"Some of the world’s most amazing engineering projects and buildings now lie in ruins. But how and why? In this episode we hear about some once-great triumphs of marine engineering, now left to rust. A ship graveyard in Maryland has been colonised by wildlife. And we go inside a Cold War sub."

Take a shot every time Nazi Germany is mentioned.
Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.

I downloaded it but haven't watched it. If Seph Lawless appears in this one I'm stopping it and deleting them all.

I thought everyone here have agreed to quietly stop mentioning him since he feeds off attention, but other than that I do agree.

Not sure it was agreed on. For the most part I agree, though I have seen terrible people thrive because the community shunned them and was ignorant of their activities.
Also, does the space episode not mention the abandoned shuttles in Kazakhstan?

It's perfectly fine to refer toSeph Lawless on UER as long as it's bad
And use pink lettering for his name.

Shunning him does nothing.
It's much more fun when he feels compelled to open an UER account to defend his pussy ass ways.
He can't help it. He's a control freak... being out of control disturbs him greatly.
Being ignored is neutral and quit palatable to him, unless it's his girlfriend.

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

Do you have somewhere you can host the files? They got copyright struck already.

Why pink?
"Sorry, I didn't know I'm not supposed to be here," he said, knowing full well he wasn't supposed to be there.
