Prepare for a journey into the forgotten on Science Channel’s Mysteries of the Abandoned. This week’s episode, “High-Rise Hotel Battlefield,” turns its lens toward three very different decaying structures.
First up: Miami. Forget the beaches and neon; this segment focuses on a crumbling suburban structure with a distinct architectural style and intriguing history. The episode sets out to examine how this once-prominent building fell into disrepair, a familiar tale of forgotten architectural gems lost to time and neglect.
Next, viewers are transported to a war-torn hotel in Lebanon. More than just a dilapidated building, it stands as a stark reminder of past conflicts, its bullet-ridden walls whispering tales of a nation’s struggle. Mysteries of the Abandoned aims to reveal the stories within these scars, offering a glimpse into the human cost of war etched into concrete and steel.
Finally, the episode tunes into the static-filled history of a pirate radio station. From its rebellious beginnings to its eventual silencing, the program examines its controversial history and the impact it had on the airwaves.
Mysteries of the Abandoned continues to fascinate with its exploration of forgotten engineering feats, offering viewers a chance to uncover the mysteries behind these crumbling monuments to human endeavor.
