Any chance of a shot being posted with the stacks?

I've been facinated with the asylums (Ruins in general) since I was a kid. While growing up In Freeport, L.I., I had the opportunity to creep around inside the old Brooklyn Water Works (circa '75-'77) before it fell pray to arson. It was a beautiful piece of architecture and I was wondering if anyone out there has any pix of it before it was torched or while it was burning. Anyway, the shots of Pilgrim are slammin'!!! Keep up the good work. As I drive on the LIE and see those massive structures lurking in the shadows... I believe I can hear the screams in the night.

Touch anything stainless steel and tell me it does not feel chillier than the atmosphere it is within.

Hence that the inside of the tub would contain the coolness.

I think every building technically has a basement but 1 i know for sure has somewhat of a tunnel system its the building right near the power plant, there are 3 in my memory its the building furthest to the west. Now thats creepy down there all you can see are rows of concrete collums going out of sight and strange dripping and creeking sounds i didnt get far down there i plan to go back with string or something to find my way out.

Sammy I sat in the tub to and your right I felt the difference in heat to that is some really weird stuff I figured it was in my head.

No bodies went in the top row it only held the refridgeration stuff and blew downwards over the bodies below, so I've read but I saw sliding tables up there so I honestly dont know maybe they had some ladder system I can't say for sure.

No the table isn't painted either it's just lost the luster it had over years I cleaned a spot off but it wont shine without some cleaner or something.
