kid salt British Columbia was founded and built by the u.s. mining
conglomerate Phelps dodge in 1979 the town was built to sustain a mining
operation for molybdenum which is a metal used in steel production at its
peak the town house - over 1,200 residents and head to hospital a Sports
Center a theater and a grocery store with the promise of growth and
prosperity only 18 months after the town was opened the price of molybdenum
crashed and residents were forced to leave Phelps dodge purchased two homes
back from the residents and asked them to leave some were forcefully removed
from their new homes in the once booming town was seemingly closed overnight
everything was simply abandoned as it would have been more expensive to sell
it off than to just leave it behind the books were even left on the shelves of
the library as you can see everything was left as it is everything was in
perfect order but they are just missing the people after the last person left
the town it was completely vacant however somebody left a power on the
Power has been on for nearly 30 years in the town sets very well preserved
waiting for its residents to return this looks like a hallway in a school due to
the lack of funds people were only able to pack up their personal belongings
everything else was left behind mailboxes were left vacant and empty I
wonder what building this was taken in it is so weird seeing a perfectly
preserved building sitting there empty you have to follow a long dirt road to
enter the town which still stands in the middle of nowhere everything is covered
in late 1970s decor in the names of the champions are still written in chalk on
a board in the Sports Center the town's backdrop is one anyone would be envious
of the place is stunning kids salt has 94 homes 200 apartments a
hospital a shopping mall a movie theater a Town and Country
restaurants in a sports center all the homes were left completely vacant with
the homes and structures being only three years old at the time of vacancy
they are all in very good condition to this day there must be quite an eerie
feeling walking down the streets of kid salt but I would love to live in a place
like this an empty playground outside the school
was once full of little children having the great time not even the year after
this plant was made the town was closed the electricity still lights the town up
at night everything in kids what was purchased brand new and just sits
deteriorating now can you imagine 1,200 people just up and leaving after only
three years even at the end of a dock in the bay sits a lonely boat tied up
waiting for its driver the old refining plant had sparked the construction of
this town sits empty and unproductive over 200 apartments without residents
even the town center which provided phenomenal views of the surrounding
landscape looks as if it's ready to move in and start a party the bridge to get
salt once had hundreds of cars a day crossing and now it's a rare sight to
see this bridge in use kid salt went up for sale in 2004 and was purchased for
five million dollars Canadian entrepreneur and businessman Krishnan
Safin thyrion-- purchased the town site unseen he had just found an article in
the newspaper and sent a check but he had hopes of turning the town into a
sort of retreat for intellectuals scientists in doctors to work together
the town was to be opened in 2011 but things have since changed there are
talks about opening a natural gas plant in Kitts Walton that would require an
investment of 30 billion dollars to get off the ground the plan is still open as
investors are sought after for this large venture the housing and
infrastructure are already in place and something needs to happen to breathe
life back into this beautiful town it is tragic that this beautiful little place
on earth was left abandoned but at least there are talks of revamping this little
town with so much character in such a
beautiful landscape it would sure be ashamed to leave it all alone to rot
looking at the photographs in understanding the memories of this town
it is hard not to hope that this wasted land gets put to good use a great
opportunity for people to start their lives hopefully kid salt has a better
future than the island town Harland Island they'd eventually sunk to the
bottom ocean I hope you liked this video then please hit the subscribe button and
