I have several hundred Salton Sea photos - including many of what is seen in this video - on my Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/slworking/sets/72157605264326878/
The Salton Sea was once a popular place for boating, swimming, fishing, etc., but an increase in the salt level of the water caused large numbers of fish to die and the water became foul. This, in addition to a couple of hurricanes in the 1970's, caused the communities surrounding the sea to deteriorate.
The Salton Sea was recently featured on Life After People on the History Channel.
kshroyer74: It's definitely an apocalyptic place.

And I can see why the History Channel would use such a place for their episode of "Life After People"
