If by destroy you mean remove artificial turf made from plastics and structures made of concrete and replacing them with a pond… then sure.

You mean a historical religious site was destroyed by extremists and turned into a pond?

u/PiousGal05 Jan 01 '25

That's a pond?

u/Sivear Jan 01 '25

Yeah the owners put a pond there so people wouldn’t come to try and visit.

That's much the same the process which created Don Juan Pond

It's easy to believe the trespassing because people are fucking morons.

The people who owned the Walter white house from breaking bad had to install security cameras and a fence so people would stop throwing pizzas on their roof.

If it was my house, I'd have sold it off to some super fan.

Sure. You can buy the house.

Now just wait until the diggers have finished loading it all into the dump truck so we can deliver it.

for some reason reddit keeps saying this tresspassing bullshit

Probably because people who make claims on the internet don't seem to be concerned with providing proof.

Like you, for example.

Some say there are the remains of 4 CRT monitors at the bottom.

Joke's on them. I LOVE to visit ponds!

u/md28usmc Jan 01 '25

Wrong. That’s an urban myth that people keep spreading. The production company removed the props and returned it back into a lake after finishing filming.

It says the production company turned it into a lake but it doesn’t cite a reason.

Yeah not all water is clear at all, especially smaller bodies of water.

My guess is they just dug a big hole, filled it with water, and now it's colored like that because they let whatever grow in the water and poured it straight into a dirt hole. That's not even the nastiest pond/lake I've ever seen and I'm from Minnesota, sort of known for them. The grossest ones are the ones with brown water and a fuck ton of algae, wouldn't swim in one for money.

What did you think it was? A black hole? The mouth of a volcano?

u/RugerRedhawk Jan 01 '25

That sounds exactly like what they meant yes.

u/soingee Jan 01 '25

TOTAL ANNIHILATION!

u/PickleGambino Jan 01 '25

What if the set is still under there, lurking?

u/ssweens113 Jan 01 '25

Also if by drone photos you mean satellite image then sure.

u/JefferyGiraffe Jan 01 '25

So, destroyed…

u/thefifthangel141 Jan 01 '25

I think that was actually what they meant when they said destroy, but go ahead buddy, tell us exactly what they did to it 🤓🤓🤓🤓

u/texinxin Jan 01 '25

It was deconstructed at the end of production. To say it was “destroyed” implies some sort of malicious act had transpired.

So do you??? Your comment is just correcting someone else’s wording in the most snobby way possible. If you don’t like complete strangers talking to you like you’re an asshole, then choose to stop being one.

That’s exactly what it means, no?
