Abandoned Cars as Erosion Control in Detroit (11 pics)

yes, lets stop erosion with old cars. they don't rust and contaminate the water or anything.

Looks like a bloody stupid idea to me, whats wrong with rocks, they dont look like crap either.

That is truly the oddest thing I have seen recently.

Why not rocks? And how much work would stop the cars contaminating the river??

I'm with you guys, someone somewhere need to rethink this wonderful yet dubious idea.

I'll have to agree. That is a pretty sad way to stop erosion.

Hopefully whoever did that had the common sense to remove hazardous materials. Looks terrible.

Some body recycle these cars

That looks so bad!!!

The majority of these pictures are NOT in Detroit.....and yes this isn't a very good idea to use cars for erosion control

I'm sure this was more about some sleeze business man giving a payback to a politician to cheaply dispose of cars in the name of erosion control.

fucking eye sore

Sad..

Truly one excellent way to muck up nature. One good flood and all those cars are lying in a unsightly heap downstream.

Detroit looks like hell (yes sadly been there several times) but 3 are definitely not from there and I'd wager the others aren't either.

That is multiple lawsuits waiting to happen.
