| | | Finland really isn't that dangerous for urban explorers, as our gun and trespassing laws are completely different from USA, and even the police don't use force. My top three of dangerous things: 3. We had explored an abandoned hospital and were slowly walking down the main stairway. About midway we heard a scream and a group of people started running full speed. We then got an alarmed message from a friend outside telling us that a group of men dressed in vests of a criminal organization had just ran out carrying beer packs. 2. I usually photograph buildings from ground floor to the top to see what's above me. Once, when visiting a building I had visited several times before, I just walked up to the top floor without thinking much. After all it was a brick building, so I assumed the floors would be made of concrete. When I reached the second floor, I realized that the floors were of wood. A part of the floor had collapsed between the floor beams and the planks which formed the roof of the first floor. When I looked up, I realized that the planks forming the roof were completely rotten and the only thing I had been walking on were the rotten floor planks. The rotten points were in the same place on each floor so falling through one floor would mean falling directly to the basement. I did explore the whole 1200 square meter building, but did mind my step after that. 1. We found a luxurious old villa, the owner of which clearly didn't like urban explorers. The porches and staircases were filled with barbed wire, which was everywhere. It wasn't just on the ground, it was on the entire height of the space. A part of it had been torn away from the building, so it was in the grass and bushes too. Well, I did crawl through it and photographed the building with just one cut - on my forehead. It could have been the eye, though.

| | | Posted by mookster This happened a month or so back and was 'kind of' exploring as the property was derelict and we were being paid to clear it out through work. The former occupant of the house used to work for, among other things, a railways maintenance company, and in one of the outbuildings I uncovered an alarmingly red plastic container with, among others, the word 'EXPLOSIVE' stamped on it in big letters. Inside the container was a stack of maybe ten discs with lead straps over the tops, and it turns out they were designed to be strapped to a railway line in thick fog or other abject conditions to warn drivers of an obstruction ahead - the pressure sensitive charge would detonate when the train wheels passed over the disc and alert the driver. On their own they weren't too powerful, and were pretty stable, however if for some reason the entire container had decided to go up it would have been the equivalent of about a dozen large fireworks going off at once. Needless to say I was on the phone to the relevant railways company and they dispatched a guy to come and collect them from the property!
| Glad they didn't get set off. What an odd way of communication though, isn't there are risk of damaging the engine? Or are they just not powerful enough?
