It is Centralia, it 50 years ago under the ground started a fire.Half a century ago, a landfill fire in the Pennsylvanian town of Centralia spread underground to an abandoned coal mine.The blaze has been burning beneath the community ever since.Fears about toxic gases and dangerous sinkholes led the authorities to evacuate more than 1,000 people from the town in the 1980s. Around 500 structures were demolished as part of the multi-million dollar federal relocation scheme.Over 30 years, the population has decreased 100 times.

  • Burning man

The first Burning man festival was held in 1986 on a beach in San Francisco. A small group of friends gathered to fool around and burn the statue of the wooden man. It turned out fun, we decided to repeat a year later,and then two. The number of participants grew rapidly! At this festival there are 10 rules that must always be observed. For example: at the festival there is no police, for the safety and order of the participants themselves are responsible; after the festival you need to get out, so that no one guessed that yesterday there was a festival. The main idea is that a lot of people gather in the desert. They set fire to a large wooden statue and look at it. During this festival, a large market opens. Tourists buy different things, have fun and enjoy the atmosphere of the festival.
