Roads to Nowhere

Life after People : Roads to Nowhere. History Channel.
Renaissance Center, Ambassador Bridge, Packard Automotive Plant.

Imagine our plant without its people, imagine every single human beings has simply
disappear. This is the story how that might happen, it is the story to what happen to the
world we leave behind. In the all kind of human, we were all car crazy.

Without people, the refinery would explore itself due to the oil gas ignited at high temperature.

Life after people, Detroit is silent. Renaissance Center is the tallest building in the Michigan.
The weather in Detroit is extreme, very hot summer and chilly winter, due to the river, there
is moisture in here. 

In the time of human, the Renaissance Center stood as the monument to the industry that
delivered Detroit into the golden age. In the city, Henry Ford assembly line made the family
car affordable. His grandson commissioned to construct the Renaissance Center, two
decades later, the entire complex including the seventy story central tower the tallest buidling
in Michigan which purchased by General Motors, once the largest car manufacturer in the
world.

The Renaissance Center is classic example in 1960 to 1970 design, steel frame and the
outer skin is almost entire glass.

The frame that holds the window in, the steel frame that holds the building up.

What would Detroit look like 40 years after people ? 40 years after Detroit is the wreck.
From 1900 to 1930, the burgeoning of the motor industries powered the glow spur to Detroit.

Viewer discretion is advised. The company once had thriving history to produce the luxury
car, now is derelict.

Packard Automotive Plant.

This is what the nature achieved in 40 years without people. In that 40 years, since the
people left, plants and animals have colonized the area.

Let's go see the inside of the building.

Without the window, the inside would look like the outside, What you see here, the wood soaked in the winter, and then expanded.

Underneath the wood, you can the dirt. Where the workers once assemblied the Packard
engine, now the moss has begun to colonize the floor, meanwhile, the harsh weather has
been eating away the building foundation.

It is the green car no carbon dioxide emission.

The water would seep into the crack of the brick, and then expansion and contraction
depending the different temperature, finally the house collapsed on the ground.

The abandoned school.

The whole community looks like the third world.

The squirrel is still alive.
