    I worked in a coke plant in Oklahoma during the 70s and 80s, only we didn't burn Coal, we used gas and oxygen to burn Petroleum Coke and change it into Carbon for the Steel and Aluminum industries. This location is just like where I worked, with everything turned Black for the dust, Even the ground outside the factory, all Black... Thank you for the tour AND for educating me about Coal Coke plants...

    I really like big industrial wastelands. Visit Miskolc in Hungary and the Diósgyőri Acélművek. (Diosgyor Steelworks)
    Massive place, like this one. Some buildings are still in use, but the majority are completely abandoned. (Except some patrolling security) We got caught, but luckily only at the end so we saw almost everything.
