Kashgar’s Old City has been called “the best-preserved example of a traditional Islamic city to be found anywhere in Central Asia, but it is now being razed by the Chinese government which plans to replace the old buildings with new.” "The demolition of swaths of the Old Town of Kashgar is being carried out in the name of modernisation and safety. The famed trading hub on the Silk Road, on which caravans carrying silk and jade from China crossed with merchants from Central Asia bringing furs and spices, will effectively disappear. . . . A small area visited by tourists seeking a flavour of Kashgar’s rich history will be preserved."]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/demolished-cleared-areas-of-the-old-city-of-kashgar/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/demolished-cleared-areas-of-the-old-city-of-kashgar/ Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:49:35 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/demolished-cleared-areas-of-the-old-city-of-kashgar/ 39.48462600 76.00860000 <![CDATA[Sinking and smashed houseboats]]>

The iconic 499-foot tall cooling tower, visible from Interstate 5 in Washington, was demolished via dynamite implosion at 7:00 a.m. on May 21, 2006. This event marked the first implosion of a cooling tower at a nuclear plant in the United States. Additional demolition work on the remaining structures will continue through 2008. The central office building, and the reactor building were demolished by Northwest Demolition and Dismantling in 2008. Remaining are five buildings: two warehouses, a small building on the river side, a guard shack, and offices outside the secured facility. There is also extensive underground infrastructure still to be demolished. It is expected that demolition of the plant will cost as least as much as its construction.]]>

COLOGNE, Germany: The building housing the Cologne city archives collapsed on Tuesday and officials said they feared that people could be trapped inside.
Fire department spokesman Daniel Leupold said rescue officials found several lightly injured people at the scene, and it was likely that there were some people inside — though it was unclear how many. The building was open to the public at the time of the collapse.
Work was being carried out on a subway line under the street on which the building stands, but the cause of the collapse was unclear, Leupold said.
About 180 firefighters were sent to the scene.
A photograph on German television showed the building reduced to a pile of rubble.
Police spokesman Wolfgang Baldes said the rubble spilled out over 50 to 70 yards (meters).
Alfred Hoovestedt, who works in a building nearby, told n-tv television that he was sitting with colleagues when "suddenly there was a rumbling, as if a train were going past."
"Then the noise got louder and louder, and we heard vibration," he said. "Then, in seconds, the whole area was covered in a haze."]]>

It is there in the older LL view but torn out in the newer BEV view.

Nikos Goumas Stadium was a multi-use stadium in Nea Filadelfia, a west suburb of Athens, Greece. It was used mostly for football matches and was the home stadium of AEK Athens FC. "Nikos Goumas" Stadium is named after an old president of the club. He contributed to the building and later to the upgrading of the ground. It was previously known as "Nea Filadelfia Stadium" or simply "AEK Stadium".

Until 1979 it had a horseshoe-like shape. It was then that the double-tiered south stand was built, making it the largest stadium in Athens at the time This stand, and particularly its lower tier known as "Skepasti" (meaning "roofed"), is the home of the AEK ultras (called "Originals"). The capacity of the stadium was over 35,000 from the construction of this new stand in 1979, until the installation of seats on all stands in 1998. The stadium's capacity was 24,729 and was built in 1930. In 1998 AEK Athens decided to install 27,729 seats and reduced stadium's capacity from 35.000 to 24.000.

It was demolished in June 2003.]]>

A huge fire has ripped through a six-storey paper storage warehouse in east London.

Flames shot 20 to 30ft into the air and smoke from the blaze could be seen across the city.

About 100 firefighters were called to the site in Twelvetrees Crescent in Bow on Wednesday night but say it needs to burn itself out.

Iron Mountain, the firm that owns the data storage unit, said it held "archived, inactive business records".

It is thought the building will be alight for between two and three days.

A spokesman for Iron Mountain, which stores and manages records for firms around the world, said: "Mostly it is old archives that were not required currently, business records.

"In most cases we wouldn't even know because most people they use paper documents in boxes - commercial business records."

He added: "We are just interested as anybody else to know what could have caused it. It was a fair-sized warehouse but it was full."

Four delivery lorries also caught fire, but no-one is thought to have been injured.

On Thursday, an Iron Mountain warehouse in Ottawa, Canada, was also hit by fire.

The fire at a warehouse in the Cyrville industrial area, believed to contain thousands of boxes of inactive records, was designated as accidental, the Ottawa Sun newspaper reported. ]]>

Excerpt from the Las Vegas Sun:
"Las Vegas' 'most dangerous building' headed for demolition
By Dan Kulin
Once, the building was filled with doctors' and dentists' offices.

Today, though, Alpine Court is a haven for the homeless, one in which nearly every inch is covered by broken glass, trash, dozens of shopping carts and the occasional mattress.

Few doors remain. Graffiti covers the walls and many windows are boarded up with plywood. "Enter at your own risk" warnings are scribbled on the walls, and "go back sleeping" is scrawled on the steps of a concrete staircase.

At 4820 Alpine Place, the two-story complex is a stone's throw from the busy intersection of Decatur and Charleston boulevards, and a short walk from Arizona Charlie's. On two sides, the complex brushes against a nice apartment complex, where residents pay up to $1,100 a month for three bedrooms."]]>

Superfortress RB-29A 91st Reconnaissance Wing, 311th Air Division, Strategic Air Command, crashed on the 3rd of November 1948.

Crashed at Higher Shelf Stones whilst on a twenty five minute flight from Scampton in Lincolnshire to Burtonwood USAF base near Warrington. After filing a flight plan, and being advised of broken cloud at 2,000 to 4,000 feet, the pilot took off at around 10.15 am. Around twenty minutes in to the flight the pilot nosed the aircraft down through the overcast to establish position. Shelf Moor rises to over 2,000 feet, it is unlikely that any of the crew saw the ground before they hit it. Apart from the crew of thirteen the aircraft was carrying sacks of mail homeward bound to the USA, and a payroll of £7,000 for the staff at Burtonwood.]]>

Ungdomshuset (literally "the Youth House") was the attributed name of a building located in Copenhagen on Jagtvej 69, Nørrebro, which functioned as an underground scene venue for music and rendezvous point for varying anarchist and leftist groups from 1982 until 2007. Due to the persistence of the municipal government of Copenhagen and the activists who have occupied it, however, the building has been at the centre of intense debate since the mid-1990s.

Police began clearing the building early at about 0700 local time (CET), Thursday, March 1, 2007, and the house is currently being demolished, beginning at 0800, March 5, 2007.

Fred Buzhardt; and commissioned on 25 January 1975, Capt. William C. Neel in command.

Upon commissioning, SOUTH CAROLINA steamed to Charleston, S.C., to repeat the traditional post-commissioning visit to the state of South Carolina. There she received a silver service for the wardroom symbolic of the close ties between the frigate and her namesake state. Immediately thereafter, SOUTH CAROLINA joined the Atlantic Fleet nuclear task force, operating out of Norfolk, Va. As of May 1975, she remained so employed.

Reclassified guided missile cruiser, CGN-37, on 30 June 1975, SOUTH CAROLINA was decommissioned 1 October 1998, materials to be removed at Norfolk Navy Yard prior to the nuclear portion of the task being completed at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. ]]>

USS LONG BEACH (CGN-9) was the first nuclear powered cruiser and first large combatant in the US Navy with its main battery consisting of guided missiles. She was also the first American cruiser since the end of World War II to built entirely new from the keel, up, and, when completed, boasted the highest bridge in the world. She was also the last warship to be fitted with teakwood decks.

USS Long Beach was deactivated 02 July 1994 in ceremonies at Norfolk Naval Station.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/remains-of-nuclear-cruiser-long-beach-cgn-9/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/remains-of-nuclear-cruiser-long-beach-cgn-9/ Fri, 09 Feb 2007 14:23:49 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/remains-of-nuclear-cruiser-long-beach-cgn-9/ 47.55347800 -122.64072300 <![CDATA[Roof Collapse]]>

The Enschede fireworks disaster, called Vuurwerkramp (Literally, "fireworks disaster") in Dutch, was caused by a fire which broke out in the S.E Fireworks depot on May 13, 2000 in the eastern Dutch town of Enschede. The fire led to an enormous explosion that left 23 people dead (including four firemen) and 947 injured [1]. The biggest blast was heard as far as 60 kilometres from the scene. About 2000 homes were destroyed, leaving 1250 people homeless. The extent of the damage was estimated at half a billion euros.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/enschede-fireworks-disaster/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/enschede-fireworks-disaster/ Fri, 22 Sep 2006 13:24:01 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/enschede-fireworks-disaster/ 52.22988300 6.89389900 <![CDATA[F-8 Carcass in desert]]>

Bamiyan Cliff is located on the north side of the valley, and
includes the two colossal niches that contained the large
standing Buddha figures (55m and 38m), dating from 3rd to
5th century CE, one of the them the tallest in the world.
They were destroyed by the Taliban in March 2001. In
16th century CE, the site is reported to have contained
some 12,000 caves, forming a large ensemble of Buddhist
monasteries, chapels and sanctuaries, along the foothills of
the valley. A preliminary geophysical exploration in 2002
has indicated the presence of ancient roads and wall
structures. In several of the caves and niches, often linked
with communicating galleries, there are remains of wall
paintings. There are also remains of seated Buddha figures.]]>

The President’s response was, among other actions, to establish at Camp Detrick, a research effort into both biological weapons and medical defenses against them. Building 470 was completed in 1953, at a cost of $1.3 million, part of the nation’s Cold War defense against the continuing threat of biological warfare. The seven-story building served as a pilot plant for production of bacteria with potential as weapons: Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax; Francisella tularensis, the cause of tularemia, or rabbit fever; and Brucella suis, which causes brucellosis, sometimes called undulant fever.

With the U.S. renunciation of biological weapons in 1969, many buildings (although Building 470 was not among them) that had been dedicated to biological warfare research were deeded to The National Cancer Institute, decontaminated and renovated for cancer research. In addition, approximately 70 acres on Fort Detrick were designated as a campus for the National Cancer Institute. Building 470 was vacated, decontaminated, and has been used as a storage facility since 1971.

Much later in 1988, the National Cancer Institute acquired Building 470 with the expectation that it, too, might be converted to research laboratories. After feasibility studies, however, the consensus was that the building was an anachronistic design. Because of its configuration, NIH concluded that conversion and renovation would not be cost-effective. However, employees continued to use the building as a storage facility.

Over the years Building 470 has deteriorated badly and now poses a safety hazard due to significant structural instability of the masonry and the structural steel framework. The National Cancer Institute has cordoned off walkways and thoroughfares surrounding the building to minimize the hazard to vehicles and passersby. Because of its condition, NIH plans to dismantle the building in 2003.]]>

Milwaukee County Stadium (Demolished in 2001)

From Wikipedia:

Milwaukee County Stadium (locally known as just County Stadium) was a ballpark in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from 1953 to 2000. It was primarily used as a baseball stadium, but was also utilized for football games, ice skating, religious services, concerts and other large events.

* Architect: Osborn Engineering
* Builder: Hunzinger Construction
* Owner: Milwaukee County
* Cost: $5 million (1953)

Even before it was completed, the new "Milwaukee County Municipal Stadium" drew the interest of major league clubs. The St. Louis Browns, who had played in Milwaukee in 1901, the inaugural season of the American League, applied for permission to relocate back to the city they had left half a century before. The Boston Braves, the parent club of the Brewers, blocked the proposed move.[1] The Braves had long been struggling at the gate in Boston, and rumors of them relocating had been floating for some time. The move to keep Milwaukee available as a new home indicated to many observers that the Braves would move to Milwaukee themselves.

Three weeks before the beginning of the 1953 season, and right before the new stadium was ready to open, the Braves made it official, and applied for permission to relocate. The other National League owners agreed, and the Milwaukee Braves were born. The Braves' first home game, on April 6, 1953 was an exhibition contest against the Boston Red Sox.

The Milwaukee Braves used the stadium from 1953 until 1965, when the franchise moved to Atlanta.

The new Milwaukee Brewers, named for the American Association club for which County Stadium was originally built over twenty years earlier, called it home from 1970 to 2000.

The final season at County Stadium was originally going to be the 1998 season, but financial problems in funding for Miller Park, the new stadium, prevented the move from happening early. Therefore, the last season was postponed to 1999. That June three construction workers at the Miller Park site were killed in a crane collapse and a good part of the construction site was also damaged as a result. Cleanup and an investigation delayed the closing of County Stadium to the 2000 season.

County Stadium was demolished on February 21, 2001, and replaced with Miller Park. Although most of the stadium site is now covered with parking for Miller Park, the area where the Braves and Brewers played is still used for baseball. The site of the old field was preserved for Little League, and is now called Helfaer Field.

The movie Major League was shot at County Stadium during the summer of 1988. Even though the movie was about the Cleveland Indians, they did use Milwaukee Brewers radio announcer Bob Uecker in the movie, with signage for local channels WTMJ (Channel 4) and WCGV (Channel 24) not covered up and visible in the film. Announcements were made on local television news programs about the number of extras required for the day's shooting, and capacity crowds turned out for the shooting of the final scenes, which involved the Indians in the final games of a pennant race.
