Life After People (Part 2)

Five years after, the world will be covered with green. The whole world is a nature. The trees and the grasses are growing, the animals will come back, all of these just like a big forest.

Twenty years after, all the things will come back to the original. The animals that are in the zoo will escape or die. The plants grow in the crack at the wall in winter, the water in the plants freeze and let the crack expand gradually. The plants also root on the foundation make the pressure of the building is increase. At last, the buildings made by concrete will be decomposed. The birds will nest in the buildings. There have a real place that you can see and feel the situation in our world. The Soviet nuclear leak was happened twenty years ago. In that place, the people have lift since 1986. The facilities rust, the whole things are corroded. But unfortunately, the unclear leak killed the most plants and animals in 1.5 km.

Twenty-five years later, the humans’ footprint will disappear. There has another serious problem that the flood protection will stop. Some of the cities are lower than the normal level where like London and Amsterdam. They will flood and disappear forever. The glasses of the buildings will be broken, the lightning rods rust either. When the summer storm comes, the lightening will let the cities in the flame. The pigeons will life in the buildings. The wolves are rising rapidly without being hunted and they will rule the mainland.

Forty years later, the buildings made by wood will have the biological erosion like termites, burn and chemical attack. All of these will let the buildings destroy. The buildings made by stone or granite will be attacked with weathering and salts except the buildings in desert. The monument will have the same situation without repairing and protecting. The dams will fall down, the flood will destroy everything that it has passed. The paint of the cars will fall and the cars rust. The cars more closer the sea, will rust more faster, the cars more closer the desert, will rust more slower.

Fifty years later, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco will begin to have the oxidation erosion. The cables of the bridges have 98% iron. They will rust gradually.

One hundred years later, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge will fall down to the riverbed by the 1/3 cables fracture. Some important paper files in strongboxes will be destroyed without power. The temperature and the humidity of the strongboxes will get higher and higher. The videotapes and the photos will seethe. The microorganism will have large growth with high temperature in the library. The digital media likes DVDs and VCDs will disappear. It is so laughable that the advanced technology is defeated by the painting on the stones which made by the ancients.
