The Red Sand Towers (Thames estuary, England).

During the World War 2, these iron towers were a part of the London air defense. I can imagine these heroes who were an evident target for the ennemy.

One nautical mile from these ruins, the Richard Montgomery vessel had sunk during the war, with 15000 tons of bombs on board. Only 10000 have been removed. If they explode, this will be the strongest non nuclear explosure until this day.
