If industrial architecture, American industry or anthracite mining history is your thing, well... let's just say this isn't a fun thing to watch. Glen Alden Coal Company's Huber Colliery (once part of the DL&W RR empire) was known worldwide as one of the best early examples of the International style of architecture. And now it is a pile of scrap. This video shows the destruction of one of the three largest structures on site. It is not a stretch to say this is one of the top ten most significant industrial losses of this young century. http://youtu.be/a7Kdq6tWrzc |

"It is not a stretch to say this is one of the top ten most significant industrial losses of this young century." Indeed. Sigh. |
