The Tampa International Airport is located 9 miles northwest of downtown Tampa. The Marriott Tampa Airport Hotel is located in the Tampa Airport. Additional hotels are about 1 mile away.
Not to be confused with 1947 Centralia mine disaster. The Centralia mine fire is a coal seam fire that has been burning underneath the borough of Centralia, Pennsylvania, United States since at least May 27, 1962. The fire is suspected to be from deliberate burning of trash in a former strip mine, igniting a coal seam.
What has happened to Centralia over the past 50 years is quite humbling. However, visiting is a great way to better understand the destructive power of nature. While it might be one of Pennsylvaniaâs least likely and least publicized tourist attractions, visiting Centralia, PA is definitely worthwhile. Note: There are still residents that live in town, and to my knowledge, all of the remaining buildings are occupied.
