These are the Deadliest Tourist Attractions on Earth

Bikini Atoll

Bikini Atoll is one of the most covered up manmade disasters of all time. Prior to the 1940s, Bikini Atoll was an untouched island in between Hawaii and Australia that had a thriving ecosystem and extremely beautiful scenery. Then, right before WWII, the United States military used this remote location to test nuclear technology, completely wiping out the organisms that lived there and causing tumorous coral growths to spawn all around the island. This is the place Bikini Bottom was modeled after, and based on the photos, it only makes sense that Spongebob would be living in a “pineapple” under the sea.
