Drones reveal what’s left of industrialist Henry Ford’s dream of building an American style suburb, Fordlandia, in the Brazilian jungle. Misunderstood Brazilian workers destroyed this dream now being reclaimed by the forest. Drones show the remains of a once-vibrant Pennsylvania coal mining town, Centralia, victim of a still burning underground coal seam fire set off by a dump burn. An aerial view of New York City’s East River shows the ghost town on North Brother Island where typhoid patients were once isolated before the development of vaccines. Drones uncover a great marvel of the Italian Renaissance now reduced to dust, the ancient citadel of Craco.
