* Three words: [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI No Man's Land]], the real-world inspiration for [[SceneryGorn Tolkien's Dead Marshes]]. Let us paint a picture for you. Large stretches of what once was forest or green fields have been burned and blasted down to giant, crater-pocked mud pits, littered with barbed wire, dead bodies and [[LudicrousGibs pieces thereof]], and strewn with bits of metal from bullets and shells -- metal that still surfaces in these fields today under farmers' ploughs. The smell of death hangs chokingly thick across the land, interwoven with the stink of the mud to the point where one calls to mind the other -- oppressive, sickening, inescapable. The scene is punctuated by giant wooden spikes formed of tree trunks mangled by artillery. Depending on the time and place in the war, there may be craters filled with chalky clouds that blister and sear [[BodyHorror young men's skin]] [[EyeScream and eyes]] [[CruelAndUnusualDeath and lungs]], or newly designed tanks -- cutting-edge machines of modern warfare -- stuck and abandoned, their metal carcasses left alongside the flesh-and-bone ones to be swallowed by the mud. Small wonder those who saw it and survived [[ShellShockedVeteran were never the same again]].

** In 1988; the Soviet Union launched the first robotic flight of ''Buran'', a spaceplane intended as an equivalent to the American Space Shuttle. The project had built three flight shuttles and one test model, but never flew again as the Soviet Union collapsed. The test model was eventually put in a museum, but the [[https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/baikonur-buran-soviet-space-shuttle/index.htmlthree Buran shuttles were left to decay in their hangars until the roof falls on them]].

* The Pontiac Silverdome had a rough ride after the [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague Detroit Lions]] moved from the stadium in January, 2002. It fell into disuse, but was maintained well by the city of Pontiac until in 2009 when it was sold to a new owner. A year later, the Silverdome reopened, but in 2013, heavy wind and snow damaged the roof [[ShaggyDogStory causing it to close once again]]. This, along with apathy from the ownership and the lack of major events coming to the stadium resulted in the Pontiac Silverdome to die slowly. It was until December of 2017 when it was hailed as a modern-day "ancient ruin". With the bowl now exposed to the outside, and all areas of the stadium filled with trash and covered with elements like moss and water, touring the Silverdome became every urban explorer's dream.
