The town of fire could suddenly fire at the feet in America

In Centralia, people are always ready to face the sudden road cracking, revealing the hell hole below and burning flames. Many people called this town unable to escape death, if they stayed.

Visitors to Centralia are often shy with cracked roads, smoke rising and the red glowing with fire. Many houses here have been abandoned, with many graffiti-like streets as a warning to visitors that you will be swallowed up to the ground, due to the underlying fire and land that can fall down any when.

"Everyone in town has a common concern, that you go to sleep at night and don't know if you will wake up in the morning, " said Michael Sulick, a retired miner.

Therefore, many people called Centralia a town where no one could escape if they continued to live here. They did not know when the ground could fall and the hot, smoke-filled holes would swallow them.
