looking at the photo again. in this particular case, it would definately be due to the ceiling collapse - anything that was on the roof would have come through, and continued to grow and develop in its new home...

sorry for the double-posting...

rtotten -

Once a place like this closes, nature takes over.

All it takes is a couple of broken windows/other openings (eg, collapsed ceiling/wall), and plant life starts creeping in.

At the same time, water penentrates through roofs and ceilings, and mold begins to develop (not to mention rot!).

Any dust in the place after the closure will begin to settle, and build up. over time, bits of ceilings will come down as well.

Regards,
Sefty.

lets not forget that Skinner kept his infant daughter in a box. A very cushy box, but a box nonetheless.

You just made a broad statement about staff not caring about the people who lived in these places and now you are calling someone a "schizo" and making a joke that perhaps they are so incapacitated they don't know where the bathroom is? Jebus, don't that just take the cake?
