Science Park Porton Down, United Kingdom
From series “Forbidden Construction Objects with Label "Access Denied"”
The scientific park 'Porton Down' is one of the most secret and inaccessible objects of Great Britain. The park is located to the northeast of the city of Porton and was founded more than a century ago. During the First World War, chemical weapons were developed here, which the British supplied the German army with. After the war the chemical weapons tests were continued at the base. What kind of development took place in the park for many years - remains unknown to this day.
According to unofficial data, in the middle of the last century in the science park the effects of LSD were held. Terrible experiments were carried out not only on animals, but also on people. The terrible conjectures and assumptions hide a string of incredible facts, one of the most notorious is a story of the death of the 20-year-old British Air Force Ronald Madison. In 1953, he took part in the testing of sarin - the strongest toxic substance. A drop of this substance was applied to the subject's hand, after some time after the test the subject died.
