このコンテンツについて
In the early 1800s, long before it officially became a town, Centralia, Pennsylvania was rich with anthracite coal—the hardest and most energy-dense form of coal. This resource was a catalyst for industrial growth during America’s expansion. Coal wasn’t just a fuel; it was an essential element that sparked the Industrial Revolution, and Centralia became a thriving mining town.
On May 7, 1962, in preparation for a Memorial Day celebration, the disaster began. Now, even decades afterward, the town of Centralia exists on a liminal threshold—neither entirely gone nor fully alive. The streets lead to nowhere and are empty, and overgrown vegetation has taken over.
Though officially condemned and mostly abandoned, Centralia seems to have been swallowed and remains only in a state frozen in time. The once bustling mining hub now reveals only overgrown fields and a desolate landscape due to the unintended disaster, forever leaving behind a forbidden ghost town.
