all your city destruction pics
/r/ing them shit.
thirded. plus i want information on the pics.
does any body know what city this is?
WWII....Point Du Hoc?
Lol, wai to repost down-sampled low res versions.It's Dresden BTW. Ever read Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonaguate?
>>92462hereWhat's going on in this thread?
looks like Koln to me, but it could be Dresden I suppose.
>>92460Its definitely Cologne (Köln), 1945.
It is Koln (Cologne) - this site has an almost identical current view, but it isn't HR: http://www.webbaviation.co.uk/deutschland/cologne-cathedral.htm
That's nothing. At least you still have neighborhoods standing.Pic: Tokyo, March 1945.
Yokohama in flames, 1945
I read up on the napalm bombing of Japanese citiestowards the end of WWII...what a different world it was.
City is standing.. but no one can go in there or live there for soemthing like 100 years
Does anyone else think the original picture looks like a model city? (I know it isn't, but it looks that way)
Downtown Grozny 1999
Downtown Grozny 2000Look if you can spot the difference!
>>92461point du hoc literally a jutting point on the normandy beaches...
It's Ulm, Germany.This HUEG (Europe's biggest or something) Cathedral here was famously spared of bombing by the Allies. I was there in 1993 and heard the story.
Okay, it's Cologne. Checked now and the Ulm is different (one tower).Here Ulm.
>>92505If then 17 yr old Osamu Tezuka had died in one of those air raids...would 4chan be around today?
>>92737I dont even want to think about it.If you want current city distruction/disaster pics go to this link. This girl rode on her motorcycle thru Chernobyl. They're not High res, though I wish they were, but it's still awesome in a very sobering way.http://www.kiddofspeed.com/chapter1.html
>>92759That is a freaky/horrifying/desolate site, but still addicting somehow...
>>92759It was also a (partial) hoax, it came out that she and her family were escorted through by officials, same as anyone else with clearance can be. But it is Chernobyl, and the pictures are sobering.
Does this count?
>>92445>>92458>>92471Koeln, or Cologne in english. Been there, beautiful church. Over 90% of the buildings around it were destroyed, but for some reason the 800 (I think 800) year old cathederal was spared mostly.
>>92882Köln
It's the person who posted>>92801Yeah, I kind of thought it would be a little reckless to go out there alone because you never know if your motorcycle can clunk out at anytime. And your stuck in radiation country.It really makes you think what would it be like for the US to have something like Chernobyl happen in Pennslyvania. I think it happened in Three Mile Island, Pennslyvania during the late 70s. Creppy stuff.
Here is what happened at TMI, slightly different story the Chernobyl.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island
>>92897Not all of us have those keys, nor the will to do special symbols like umlauts. And the e ending after any umlauted letter is grammatically correct. So take it.
What kind of Radiation does Chernobyl give out? I read somewhere that the half-life of nukes (bombs) is much less than the kind used in reactors (appx 2 weeks for nuke radiation?). Scary Stuff.
>>93057Makes you an Superhero.
>>93057None. The remains of the plant are encased in a gigantic cement sarcophagus.
>>93091It leaks.Also, everything is radiated anyway. It's a closed zone, and people live there illegaly.
cool pic, heres the real thing...
...
>>93179>>93195>>93196Stop posting pics of my ponos.
