Long Term Effects Of Ghost Town

The Holocaust occurred in 1941 - 1942. This event was significant because it had a lasting impact on the world especially Germany, Poland and other european countries. This led to significant political changes such as the united nations. Hitler was the reason there was a mass extermination of 60,000 people. The Holocaust had devastating short term effects such as loss of money, homes, food, hygiene and most commonly death also the separation of families and the horrific mass destruction on human life. The long term effects effected the survivors mentally and physically after the holocaust.

The Chernobyl disaster was influential also due to the effect it had on nearby towns and cities. The initial explosion killed just 30 people, but several more died in the following months. As soon as the explosion took place, the

Towns and cities sprang from lands where railroads were built and those that were far from railroads became ghost towns

     However, the times began to change and the town moved on toward the future. The houses were replaced

The Ghost map, written by Steven Johnson and published in 2006, was about an outbreak of cholera because of the lack of sanitation. A five-month-old girl began the outbreak of 1854 when she fell ill from water drawn from a public pump in the city square. Her mother washed out her clothing and dumped the water into the cesspool, spreading the cholera bacteria into the river where it then contaminated the drinking water. This book is a tale of how two men changed the course of the largest city ever built in the world at that time in history.

I decided to read The Ghost Map, by Steven Johnson, for my reading assignment. I originally chose this book, because I was interested in viral and bacterial outbreaks in general. I soon realized that the outbreak itself was not the central theme of the book. The author’s message was the making of the idea of large scale metropolitan living as a sustainable concept; unlike past failures, like Rome's collapse. He was able to prove how scientific thinking made that concept a reality.

My location that I chose was St Elmo, an abandoned town. It was abandoned for the mining use of it. The mines in the town as people say; it “dried up.” So now the town is classified as an abandoned town. The town of St elmo had a fire; the fire wipe out a few buildings. Since the town itself is a tourist attraction some locals who apparently still live in the town rebuilt some structures. The townspeople rebuilt the general store and one other building. The town has a few advantages for taking refuge there. Position of where the town is located makes it the perfect seclusion. There won’t be a lot of raids from well of course raiders. If an raider does come the people and the top 12 council members may hide in the mines. Whether of this location

Pompeii was located about five miles from Mount Vesuvius. When the magma fell it had clogged the air with ashes, making it hard for others to breathe. Some buildings collapsed. Pulverized - rock and poisoning gas, came down the mountain and took everyone, and everything in its path. There weare about 2,000 people that were killed. Others drifted back there to find lost relatives, and belongings and other things. It was hard though because there wasn’t much left of Pompeii. There was smaller towns by Pompeii that were destroyed as well. The towns, as well as Pompeii were abandoned for

It’s easy to forget Breckenridge's humble beginnings as an old mining town amidst the ski resorts and rental shops. Luckily, you’ll find traces of its intriguing history all over town. For something more substantial, book a guided hike out to Preston Mill with the Breckenridge Historical Alliance. This ghost town was once home to over 150 citizens, and the remnants of their time lay scattered throughout the area. Check out the old mining equipment and dilapidated structures that have survived. For something truly spooky, book one of their haunted walking tours.

In a small town of Frank’s Valley, only a few were removed from their houses late Sunday night. Around 100 people in the North Arm of Indian Valley and other small communities evacuated last Sunday. Residents of Genesee

By November 1986, in order to limit a further release of radiation, the nuclear reactor was encased in concrete, with a long term planned completion of the Chernobyl cleanup by 2065 (Peplow, 563). After the disaster, a vast amount of the land was inhabitable due to the high levels of radiation, this in turn caused a decline in industry and agriculture, and increased the unemployment rate forcing citizens to migrate outside of the affected areas to find work (van der Veen, 126). These declines precipitated psychosocial impacts on the citizens with a “downward spiral of anxiety, depression, apathy, and fatalism” (van der Veen, 126). The increased burden on the Soviet finances, with the enormous costs of cleanup, relocation, compensation, and ongoing health care for those citizens affected, a need for further financial assistance from the IMF and World Bank could only possibly occur if they were to change their economy in agreement with the West’s negations (van der Veen,

There are over 80 ghost towns in Oregon making it the best state for ghost towns. Some are populated but others are completely abandoned. Many are historic, some are mining towns, others are Indian villages, and several are haunted. A few of them are found along the historic Lewis and Clark trail and they all have a little something interested from Oregon’s early history.

People that would find their way back to abandoned homes earlier faced the destruction in communities

The fallout zone was huge. It will not be safe for human life for 20,000 to 200,000 years. Today the heaviest damaged zone is up to 60 miles from the plant. Then the area was covered with people to get rid of some of the radiation. The zone is more that 1,600 square miles long. Millions of people still live in the fallout zone. They have put track collars on the radioactive wolves.

There have been lots of nuclear accident around the world. One of the accident that had a major impact on the world was the Chernobyl disaster. The disaster took place on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. The disaster was caused by a reaction explosion induced by design faults and staff application errors. The accident took place in the course of scheduled tests to check the power supply mode in the event of external sources loss. Even after 10 days, explosions and ejections of radioactive substances continued. The release of radiation and radioactive substance polluted the places within 30 km of Chernobyl, and those areas have been closed for a long period of
