In the abandoned mine tunnels underneath Centralia, PA, there is a fire. This fire has been burning for the past 60 years, and will likely continue for decades to come. Aislinn and Miranda break down the history of this town, how the fire got to be, and why some people think that the government deliberately sabotaged firefighting efforts and let the destructive blaze continue for all of these years.
