The disintegration - in less than 25 years - of what was once called 'The Second Palm Springs". From beautiful resort to ghost region in 1 generation. The after-effects of human activity at its worst.

  • I went to visit this sea yesterday. The moment you step out, a whole swarm of flies come at you. It smells rather like a chicken farm. The temperature is hot. There are lots of dead tilapia there, most of them were adult sized. I saw lots of the hatchlings swimming very close to the shore. I wonder what will happen to them next year.

  • @LitHoneysuckle Sounds delightful. :D :D A fitting place for the San Andreas Fault to dive back into the bowels of the Earth. :D

see all

  • @strangelylucky uh yeah they acknowledged the 200 people left there, out of 15K.

    pics don't lie, that place is fucked. and you can thank monsanto for that, the evil corporation hell bent on killing us all with poison, genetic pollution and fascist seed control.

    personally, i think no business should be allow to grow so big. they just become psychopathic, predatory monsters that no one can stop.

  • this is result of greedy by corporation dump all you can dump , and republscum still trying to eliminate EPA .. imagine this happen to your home area..

  • The narrator's voice is so over-dramatic and annoying.

  • misinformation. people still live there.

  • No longer an upscale playground. Boy  oh boy! That is a tragedy. ;-) So much mis-information and biased reporting. Not helpful , History Channel.

    Salton Sea is still a beautiful place. It needs the right kind of preservation.

  • Very kewl stuff! I like Life After People a lot! : D Way to go History Channel.

    -Sure, some argue, "That's not History, that's the Future!"

    -But like this excerpt shows, some of it IS history.

    -Many people prefer the CGI collapses and ruins but I like these parts best of all; what's already happened. This, the Salton Sea, Chernobyl, areas around Detroit, ruined amusement parks - things like that. Spiffy!

  • Palm springs is a shithole lmao

  • this is what happen when your reduce government agency .. get it ??? stupid azz tea beggars ....

  • "Because War.. War Never Changes."

  • I wish i could of been in the Salton sea back then when it was nice :(. Now it's just dead.
