Boston is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Massachusetts, and the cultural and financial center of New England in the Northeastern United States. Boston is one of the nation's oldest municipalities, founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from Boston, Lincolnshire.[1]
Coverage[]
Boston is featured in The Bodies Left Behind.
It was introduced in 6 months after people when the cities of Boston and Houston would faced a much harsher fate, and later introduce the USS Constitution at the Boston Harbour which is defenseless in the race of survival without human care.
The USS Constitution sinks into Boston Harbour.
In 9 months after people, a winter storm ravage Boston and the USS Constitution begins to sink. Robert Allison stated that wooden ships leak and it will always start to leak immediately till it shrink, expand, and rot. Despite the pumps have already stopped months ago, the flooding is not enough to drag the ship underwater until the Boston Winter joins in. As waves wash over the deck, the snow force it further under till the entire warship sinks into the bottom of the Boston Harbour and impacting much of the hull underwater.
In 5 years after people, weeds have transformed Boston including its historic streets. Steven S. Ross stated that plant root would take over the cracks of brick and mortar if there are no maintenance on rain spouts and gutters. At Old North Church, it is under attack by nature, where pigeons enter the interior of the church, signs of vines starts to grow, and maple trees sprout in the rotting wood. As seen in 20 years after people, Interstate 93 (exit 24/25) has been flooded while greenery takes over parts of the interstate.
The wooden steeple of Old North Church collapse.
In 35 years after people, the wooden steeple of the Old North Church is on the verge of collapse. Robert Allison stated that the steeple is more susceptible than the rest of the building in a big storm. A storm slashes into Boston, and the wooden steeple of the Old North Church collapsed into the historic streets below.
In 75 years after people, the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge is wearing away by time and nature, and bird droppings becomes a threat to the cables when it was mix with rainwater. It was then shown in 100 years after people when the protective plastic coatings of the Bunker Hill Bridge have been cracked by weather, allowing acidic pigeon dropping mixed with storm water to penetrate and corrode the steel, which cause the cables to snap. As half of the cables snapped, it couldn't support the weight of the roadway and the Bunker Hill Bridge warp and collapse.
The John Hancock Tower collapse.
The final coverage of Boston is in 150 years after people, when Boston is just an overgrown urban jungle. Meanwhile, the John Hancock Tower, the tallest building in Massachusetts, still stands but the outer skin have been destroyed by the weather, which then cause the steel columns to corrode for many years. Eventually, the John Hancock Tower collapse in a pancake effect.
Transformation[]
Boston after 150 years.
As stated in The Bodies Left Behind, specifically at 150 years after people, Boston would be transformed into an overgrown urban jungle. Judging by the visuals on 35 years after people at North End and 150 years after people at Back Bay, it supports the case of the city transformation into a forest, with remains of the buildings turns into rubble and be consumed by nature while vines covers most of the buildings including the John Hancock Tower. From the view of the Equestrian Statue of Paul Revere, North End is entirely consumed by the jungle with vines covering the surroundings.
