Manhatten Project caves? [PICS]
 

New shots - just taken yesterday afternoon - a massive cave system over in New York state (close to Buffalo).

Story has it that the caves were originally made by the U.S. government to dispose of radioactive waste from the Manhatten Project. Whether its factual or not, I'm not sure. But the caves were incredibly extensive far into the hillside. Lots of bats flying around. The air temps inside were a nice cool 60F (I estimated) - a pleasant break from the humid heatwave outside (close to 100F).

cool pics...

wow thats cool, caves have always fascinated me.. some of the the shits in there are soo old

Amazing pics :frenchman

great pictures

....great pix.. thx for sharing :D

cool pics....I thought I read something about where the Bat Guano fumes in caves is actually lethal

dispose of radioactive waste? Are you sure its a safe place? :winkwink:

the government made a huge network of caves?
Would be pretty easy to prove if or not they have been man made. Go as deep as you can for us and tell us if you come to a big giant door lol.

awesome pics :thumbsup

Someone needs to do some research. The Manhattan Project wasn't in New York. Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Hanford, Washington; and Los Alamos, New Mexico were the locations that did 99.99% of the work on the Manhattan Project. It was a code name, not a location.

Besides all of that, if those caves had radioactive waste in them, there would be NO bats, and the photographer would be dead as the half life of radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project is tens of thousands of years.

man your brave

Kick ass pics!! Batman might be mad that you were in his cave though :upsidedow

Awesome pics, I went to a cave in the Black Hills in South Dakota once. Fun stuff.

Erm. The waste from the Manhatten Project is over in Eastern Washington State (hanford). Something about a $100 billion + cleanup project. =(

is that goat secx?

nah yah think?

I want to make my home/office in this kind of place.

Those are some kickass pics... but the gov. did not dispose of the waste that way, they instead used the waste to power up Godzilla and used him to destroy both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Don't they teach you this shit in 2nd grade?

Someone needs to actually spend the time reading the initial post, before drawing hasty conclusions. He did not say The Manhattan Project was in New York. All he said was they made it to dispose of radioactive waste from the project.

The proof was easier than you think.

One entire section of the caves are held up by big cement columns with reinforced rebar.

A little beyond Mother Nature's design intentions.

Those pictures are amazing.:thumbsup

That's a nice recitation fetishblog. Now let's hear you detail the various locations of where the radioactive debris and waste from the project was tentatively planned to be stored.

Had you actually read my text in the initial post, you'd understand that the caves were a tentative storage depot for the waste. I never said its where it actually ended up.

In fact, large quantities of it actually wound up being shipped (by boat) to the Bethlehem Steel properties in Lackawanna, NY - where...they still result in causing large puddles on the property to display very pretty phospherescent colors on rainy days and workers have been told for decades to avoid certain areas because of it.

I quite agree. More research is required. Keep us updated, would you.

The U.S. Army began dumping Manhattan Project refuse and other chemical warfare materials at Love Canal (and
numerous other sites around Western New York) at the beginning of Americahahaha8217;s involvement in World War II and
continued doing so into the cold war.

According to a May 2001 Art Voice article by Geoff Kelly and Louis Ricciuti:

"When the United States turned in earnest to developing the atomic bomb in 1942, the government did not possess
the facilities to fast-track the project. So, the Army Corps of Engineers enlisted private industries that possessed those
facilities and were already engaging in the kind of work the Manhattan Project would require. With its abundant supply
of energy and water, its close concentration of companies with experience in creating and refining exotic chemicals,
metals and ceramics, no region was better equipped to abet the effort than Niagara Falls. Fueled by cheap, plentiful
electricity, the region had become the nationhahaha8217;s center of chemical, metal alloy and ceramics manufacturing.

"Many companies in Niagara Falls already had experience working with uranium. Some of the needed processes and
materials for atomic bomb development were invented here. The uranium and graphite of physicist Enrico Fermi's
graphite-pile reactor under the bleachers at Stagg Field at the University of Chicago (site of the first manmade
sustained nuclear reaction and a crucial first step in the development of the bomb) were almost certainly fabricated in
the furnaces of Niagara Falls.

"By the end of World War II the Manhattan Project had employed 200,000 people nationwide and cost $2.2 billion.
Gigantic research and production installations were eventually developed at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Hanford,
Washington and Los Alamos, New Mexico. But in the beginning, and in fact throughout the Manhattan Project and
continuing through the Cold War, commercial industries in Niagara Falls, Tonawanda, Buffalo, Lackawanna, Lockport
and elsewhere in the country would provide many of the materials that the larger facilities required to produce atomic,
and later, thermonuclear weapons. This regionhahaha8217;s industries were among the first to step into the atomic era."

the caves are great. Great shots. And the story is interesting too.

amazing and pretty scary to step into that cave if they really used to dump waste in there.. gotta check it's radioactivity... hehe

They don't seem to load for me :(

great pictures

orly ?:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I always enjoy your pictures. Really makes me want to take a course. My husband was a press photographer in his younger years and when he died I was left with a bunch of professional equipment. I should really learn how to use it. So used to digital now I almost forget how to use a 'normal' camera.

Awesome picturs... Did you take them yourself on a trip or was it one of your friends?

Really good pics dude :thumbsup

Take any in a higher resolution?

Thanks Sarah :)

Those were shot digital, however. Olympus e10 dslr.

Yep...originals were shot 1600x1200.

I reduced 'em for the web.

I shot'em - hence my company's copyright in the shots. :)

amazing photos! got any more to post?

damn thats awesome - great pics

wow..cool pics..it would not suprise me if there was some evil plan for the caves..


Mr. Romance

Get outta my head! :1orglaugh

It'd definitely be an awesome bondage location. :thumbsup

More shots from Saturday's C.H.U.D. hunt...
