Imagine stumbling on a place like this!

A couple urban explorers or whatever discover some abandoned chemical factory. It makes me positively sick that they aren't chemists and don't
understand what they're looking at, I'd be backing the truck up.

I’ve had dreams about this sort of thing. Such a shame that all those perfectly good chemicals are just going to waste.

Some of the bottles reagents in the glass cabinet looked ok but most of the stuff on the big shelves was mixtures and proprietary formulas. Not much
use unless you knew contents and purpose. If I was there, just grab what I could carry safely. Many of those jars had barely readable lables and
were sketchy. Oh and the way the 3 neck flask was lying there! Glassware abuse! They should be held liable for being slobs and mistreated
glassware!!

The abandoned factory was in Woonsocket, Rhode Island apparently.
Quote: | The building ended up burning down like five months ago. I’m not sure if it was arson or insurance claim |
The chemicals were conveniently removed first.
