this town was underwater for 25 years
0:05
until now these pictures show the Eerie
0:20
aftermath have you ever heard of the
0:22
town of villa epican probably not
0:25
because this town was covered by water
0:27
for 25 years it's located just south of
0:30
Buenos Ares it had about 5,000 residents
0:33
and was established in the 1920s it was
0:36
a destination for thousands of people
0:38
from buenos Ares but everything changed
0:42
1985 there was a dam that burst and
0:44
covered the town with 33 ft of saltwater
0:48
people tried to wait it out and took
0:50
refuge on their rooftops but the water
0:52
did not recede once they saw that the
0:55
water wasn't going anywhere most
0:57
residents left leaving the town a
1:03
town in 2009 the water eventually
1:06
started to recede leading behind massive
1:10
destruction notice how the trees are
1:12
still perfectly spaced possibly lining a
1:15
road or sidewalk at one
1:18
time Rusty bed frames and old street
1:20
signs emerged as the water
1:25
receded one resident refused to leave
1:28
his name is Pablo Nova
1:30
and he lives in a stone Hut with a
1:32
fridge and a basic wood burning stove
1:36
guess he wasn't ready to start over
1:37
somewhere new his home was located on
1:40
the edge of the town this is such an
1:42
eerie sight to see this town is
1:44
completely and utterly destroyed would
1:47
you stick around this town in hopes of
1:48
the water receding or would you move and
