Modern day look at a WWI battlefield

Never mind the idiot commentary... These pictures (and the narration) are very eye-opening.

At least Nagasaki and Hiroshima are habitable.


EDIT: Thanks to Scanker19, who posted a real article with many pictures and much better narration. I'll put the link here: http://www.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/wwi/century/

If you have an extra 16 hours, Dan Carlin has a podcast called Blueprint for Armageddon that is worth a listen. The battle of Verdon was ridiculous.

Here is the original article with more photos and info.

I've listened to that series twice. He's a great storyteller!

I've never heard of these forbidden areas. That's very interesting.

Very educational. Thanks for posting.

ETA: My grandfather fought in WWI as part of the US Army Artillery. I'll need to read all of his letters back home next time I visit my folks. He never talked about the war when we visited in my youth. The last time I read one letter, I found it interesting that he was discussing fighting "the Hun" and referencing General Pershing. I really only knew the name "Pershing" as a missile in my lifetime.

So much contaminated water and land in a land that prides itself on food and fresh produce. 600 or 700 years to clean it up? Damn ...
