No more distressed aged used leathers that make me look like a ukrainian rustic. Me want technic fabrics and plastic shoes for 2010 !
This one is out in the mountains outside Tokyo. There are tons of abandoned things probably just because there is less incentive to clean it up when it is so far from the city. This was built in 1961 and abandoned soon after, probably just because it was a stupid thing to exist. A ropeway that brings you a very short distance across a manmade lake, surrounded by alternative ways across [although the bridges might not have existed when this was built -- who knows.]
The other pictures I have posted were in Korea. Generally, major areas there go abandoned because the government kicks them out, often through force and intimidation via hired thugs. The neighborhood was being torn down to build a "new town" (basically high rise apartments complex) and the residents of the original neighborhood were given the boot. The amusement park was part of a resort that is in the process of being torn down to build.. another new town, I believe.
Since the incident, numerous accusations have been made against Kim Seok-ki, the Seoul police commissioner, including allegations of excessive police force, tactical errors and lying to the public about the operation.
In initial statements following the attack, the Seoul police station denied the involvement of private security personnel, "construction thugs", in the operation. According to recordings of police radio transmissions, officers communicated directly with the construction thugs, providing them with shields, permitting them to light fires, and directing them to remove obstacles from the building's floors to facilitate access to the roof.
The police claimed to have taken all safety precautions during the deadly raid, but numerous facts suggest to the contrary. According to some observers, the police used the container to ram the shelter, shaking the structure and spreading the fire throughout. Police radio transmissions also revealed that when some officers warned that the water cannons were exacerbating the fire, they were ordered to continue spraying. The nonstop blasting of water hoses both intensified the fire as well as making it difficult for the protesters to escape.
In a report to the national assembly the police department claimed that they had nine fire trucks, two chemical fire trucks, and five ambulances prepared at the scene. But the fire department reported that there were only two fire engines at the scene in advance, and that they sent chemical fire trucks without police request after the fire had started.
