timmy Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Petroleum replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, making this mining facility obsolete. It was finally shut down and evacuated in 1974. This is the same island used in the James Bond film Skyfall in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
