Built on solid rock, it will not be undermined by underground coal fires. |
This church has survived a fire that started back in 1962 - BBC News:
"The town of Centralia has been left to die - but its last remaining church is thriving.
In Pennsylvania's coal-mining mountains, there's an empty grid where a town once lived.
Once, there were homes and gardens. Now there are weeds.
Before Centralia started burning from below, more than a thousand people lived here. At the last count, there were six.
The roads remain - on Google Maps, they have names like Railway Avenue and Apple Alley - but on the ground, they are ghost streets."
