Plot: Some of the world's most incredible engineering projects now
lie in ruins. These deserted places are home to extraordinary mysteries and
untold secrets, and we revisit them to understand how they were built, and
why they were abandoned.They were once some of the most advanced structures
and facilities on the planet, standing at the cutting-edge of design and
construction. Today they are abandoned, dangerous, some of them even deadly
From uninhabited cities to empty factories, these long-forgotten engineering
marvels are scattered around the globe. Science Channel uncovers why some of
the world's most advanced architectural achievements were eventually left
behind in the all-new series Mysteries of the Abandoned.Each of the six
hour-long episodes of Mysteries of the Abandoned features stories behind
engineering wonders, why they were built, and the reasons they were
eventually left to crumble. Each story recalls the people who originally
designed the structure, their historical significance, and why they were
ultimately no longer of use. The premiere episode explores California's Goat
Canyon Trestle railway, known as the 'Impossible Railroad,' that required
the biggest wooden trestle bridge in the world; Ukraine's Duga, the
notorious anti-ballistic missile radar, known as the 'Russian Woodpecker,'
that still stands in within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone; and the Grand
Goulets Road in the French Alps, an astonishingly narrow and perilous
mountain passageway
