And in Pripyat, a guide MUST be present with dosimeters so that visitors do not wander into areas where radioactivity is still quite high. Heck, those tours even take a person right to the Sarcophagus along Chernobyl's Number 4 reactor.

With regards to flooding the mines, the only way that could be acheived would be to divert the entire Susquehanna River through the shafts. And that will never happen.

Don't be mad, but whole Centralia thing is nothing compared to Prypiat in Ukraine, there are guided tours through the less contaminated area.

The cost in the 80's to fix the problem was over 65 million USD. This was an estimate to completely dig up the 3000+ acres of coal under and around the town. There is no way to flood all the mine shafts.

Silent Hill was a movie adaption based on a Video Games series, not this. The movie's plot did revolve around the tradgedy at Centralia though.

I highly doubt that, basically because that's one eason the government gave.

Flooding the mines would cause steam explosions, which are more dangerous than the fire itself.

They were going to flood the mines, but the Government said it would cost to much. And it's 250+ years it will burn. (Smithsonian Magazine, May 2005) |
