SAFEA factory - Urban Exploration

[thedjdarkarts]

I would like it very much if urban explorers would give more history in their videos. It adds to the experience.

[14wasp]

I wanna do some urban exploring this summer, but I don't know places around here :(

When I was younger, say 4 to 14 years, I always checked out building sites with my friends on weekends :P

[iiTheContortionist]

SAFEA was a great place.

[btlssmd]

UER - every abandoned building in the world can be found on this site. UER.CA!

[MultiMr99]

belgium has got so many abandoned places

[preludebb]

its a beautiful factory ..interesting video :-)

[Duelkenvideo]

cool place...

[ittooryu]

urban exploring is cool

[sniper1wtc]

really a stunning place!

[thetamecrow]

Astounding.. beautiful.. forlorn. The music is a great touch, too. Truly, must 'favorite'!

[rabie4x4]

There's so much of the world we don't even know about..

[compaq80618061]

Bye Bye Safea, one of the last "victim" of Spaque... I also made some urban explortaion on my own during my spare times. I must say I often don't feel confortable and safe exploring alone the abandonned industrial places of Hainaut. Do you accept new comers or can you give me tips ?

[rapulanaimo]

cool video. I have to admit that I've been sceptical of using camcorder in urbex, but it seems to work just as fine as camera does!

[theVNDL]

whats the song it's fat!

[LP9PK]

Sorry this is a late reply, but it's Clint Manswell Feat. Kronos Quartet playing Summer Overture.

Good to see someone has put this awesome song on a suiting video.

[weenerbreath]

I thought it was called Requiem For a Dream? please let me know if that is right

Sincerely,  B.C.

[forbiddenplaces]

Indeed, the soundtrack comes from the movie "Requiem for a dream". Composer: Clint Mansell.

[poopskinTheLiar]

I wish i could do some UrbEx, but there's no abandoned buildings or bridges handy near my house...and i have the infiltration skills of a M1A1 Abrams.

[yeahemocrew]

lol thats pretty good( does that mean u can crash through a wall), unless u r trying 2 b stealthy

[poopskinTheLiar]

No, a M1A1 is obviously large and possibly noisy.

[poopskinTheLiar]

And the fact that there's no abandoned buildings to UrbEx in. (Dang strip malls and condos!)

[q123477]

what did they manufacture there?

[forbiddenplaces]

SAFEA stands for "Société Anonyme de Fabrication d'Engrais Azoté" which would be translated: "public company making nitrogenous fertilizers"

[q123477]

wow... and they just abandoned it? Also, wouldn't there be poisenous fumes if thats what they were making?

[forbiddenplaces]

It stayed abandoned for 30 years. They demolished everything in 2006. Now they have to spend so much to clean the grounds and de-pollute everything!

[wimpie25]

You would be surprised if you knew how much places like this in Belgium are abandoned.

[maggele]

this is some good footage! i love it! you should try to steady your camera. it would make it even better! love it!

[antijelly]

that place looks creepy, but i bet that was fun!

[hustlerenergizer]

Beautiful...

When was the factoy used the last time?

[forbiddenplaces]

1978! Incredible to see how well preserved it was uh?

[hustlerenergizer]

Yeah, really impressive!

Did you find it just randomly?

[forbiddenplaces]

No, it was well known

[googlemyharbl]

Truly Magnificent.

[lopy78]

thanks :-)

[lopy78]

[Jeanpaulsartre66]

Beautifull music, beautifull film

Magnificent video!!!!  Elvira from Italy

[jcellens]

what music was used for the soundtrack of this video? great job by the way

[forbiddenplaces]

The soundtrack comes from the movie "Requiem for a dream". Composer: Clint Mansell.

[touch1dcs]

nice place, ill video, and requiem for a dream was a very moving movie.

[MIGHTSPIKE]

Very cool. Thank you.

[Rosiercentral]

Very beautiful. I've only explored a few places myself, none as interesting. It's only a matter of time, though.

[PolarisCZ]

Absolutely amazing, beautiful scenes, wonderful building. Love it. Urbex FTW.

[forbiddenplaces]

Unfortunately, it is gone now, flat ground, what a shame...

[MKUltraProject]

THE SIZE OF THAT PLACE! we explored a factory about half that size a few months ago. completely untouched from last operation. the machines are the most interesting part!

[Akios87]

thanks for sharing memory of that place with us! The beginning was superb, but the second soundtrack wasn't as good as the first one

[peterbillionaire]

bravo!

[dookerbaby]

amazing video. so haunting

[Romperjet]

Very nice video. Intresting factory.
