    In this episode, shot early 2017 we explore a huge industrial terrain which includes the former biggest thermal power station of Albania. IT turned out that they were demolishing the building, but we still wanted to explore this building. This is the first time we get caught aswell on video.

    Super chill security. Just a whistle, no screaming, gives you a hand, exports you guys out without calling the cops.

      I guess a lot of the city residents go in this place just to see how it is. Maybe this security is used to this situation.

      99% of the time we don't get caught, but sometimes it gets really thrilling !
      In this case it would be stupid to run, it are just some ruins. In some other cases i'd run for my life ;) In the patreon group i will post a few short thrilling explores in power stations.

      Idd. Thermische centrale. Albanië heeft nooit een nucleaire centrale gehad. Het heeft trouwens nu maar 1 kleine thermische centrale die nog operationeel is. Bijna 100% van alle elektriciteit opgewekt in het land zelf is van waterkracht centrales. Daar ik momenteel woon in Albanië kan ik je zeggen dat dit land een toplocatie voor jullie kan zijn. Er zijn honderden industriële complexen daterend uit de communistische jaren.
      Btw. Deze centrale en het moment dat jullie het bezochten heeft een zeer leuk, zwaar politiek, crimineel verhaal rond zich ...

      b012345100 I was looking at the background. I did not really look at the power plant. You have seen one plant, you have seen them all. It seems all those areas are ugly because the people have stripped and destroyed the surroundings. I see it on the telly all the time when seeing pictures of the towns all over Europe and the Middle East. I can't imagine how the middle east and other areas must really smell. You don't have the plant life and trees absorbing all that death of destruction. Even this power plant being abandoned has no plant life or trees taking over.

      Watch this and we can continue the discussion later : th-cam.com/video/CC2m3gl25hA/w-d-xo.html . I am sure you will reconsider . P.S Fier is the most ugly town of Albania actually , however lately it is seeing massive investments , albeit it will take some more years until it looks descent. That said this is an abandondet part of the city and the city in itself looks much more descent than what it is being showed in this video ( ofc it is not something special ) , which as you can see is being demolished ....
