EXPLORING AN EXPLODED FLOUR FACTORY IN MEXICO CITY
458This abandoned flour factory in Mexico City was sent to a Urbex friend of mine, La Catapixia, by one of his subscribers. We jumped at the chance to explore this place. On google maps it looked amazing, but we didn't know how to enter. The plan would be to show up and find out. It would be an adventure.
The story of this abandoned building is that it exploded. Pretty dramatic right? If you think about what a flour factory does, it would receive bulk shipments of wheat, and then use a grinder to pulverize it into powder for your baking pleasure! If the building had poor ventilation, this powder would hang in the air. Why is that a problem? Google "Flour Explosion" and you'll find out. Kaboom.
The history of this place is a bit confusing. We were told by a few sources it had been abandoned for 50 years, but found paperwork inside dated as recently as 2003. The guard there didn't know too much about the place, his job was to just chill and keep people out who didn't have permission. There's a lot of abandoned places around CDMX, this one seems to get very little attention despite being absolutely beautiful. The grain silos especially, so happy we brought the drone (DJI MAVIC) along to shoot them from the air.
It's been a while since I've posted an exploring vlog, but we've been doing a lot of filming as we travel around Mexico. Expect some more fun stuff soon. I love this country.
