Centralia has been smoldering since 1962, with noxious gases and smoke. Plus, its underground fire is estimated to burn for another 25 decades. This had all started with a landfill burn which sparked the fire in an abandoned coal mine.

Residents fled and the highway was closed down by the smoky sinkholes caused by the massive fire. Surprisingly, only six out of nearly 2,000 residents remain and are determined to call this doomed town their home until they pass away.
