Burning Mine

Hi , we all know that the coal is used to BBQ , but for this town was a complety disaster when in 1962 a coal mine starts burning and until this days it burns.
The city is Centralia , now is a ghost town Its population has decrease from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 10 in 2013 
Centralia is part of the Bloomsburg-Berwick micropolitan area. The borough is completely surrounded by Conyngham Township.
All properties in the borough were claimed under eminent domain by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1992 and all buildings therein were condemned, and Centralia's ZIP code was revoked by the Postal Service in 2002. A few residents continue to reside there in spite of the failure of a lawsuit to reverse the eminent domain claim.
