As for Tchernobyl, it's mediatised a lot but who have heard about Centralia?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania

This city was abandoned because of an underground Coal Fire. The fire started supposedly in 1962, and is still burning today. If not extinguished it could burn during 250 years.
