Exploring & Climbing Charleroi’s Abandoned Blast Furnace

Cockerill-Sambre in Charleroi is een abandoned steel giant, a massive blast furnace left behind after the collapse of Belgium’s steel industry. In this video I explore the abandoned factory, enter the blast furnace and climb all the way to the top for an insane view over the industrial valley. This video mixes urbex exploration, industrial history and high-altitude climbing inside one of Belgium’s most iconic abandoned structures. If you enjoy abandoned factories, steelworks, blast furnaces or dramatic industrial landscapes, this is the perfect video for you. ►Timestamps◄ 0:00 - Entering the abandoned site 1:23 - Crossing the Sambre river 3:50 - Entering the abandoned blast furnace 4:30 - Explroing the abandoned blast furnace 5:53 - Abandoned Control Room 7:00 - Climbing the abandoned blast furnace 10:50 - On top of the abandoned blast furnace Instagram:   / tomothycx   #urbex #abandoned #urbexbelgium
