Wow! The last 30 seconds of it showing the amount of pollution in the skies of NYC reminds me of present day Wuhan, China. My grandparents said NYC’s air pollution was as bad as China back in the Industrial Revolution days, but I didn’t think it was that bad. So much smog, it almost makes chem-trails look pretty. It’s cleaned up pretty well since we moved all of our factories overseas to Asia. Now they get the gray skies and we get the blue skies and at the same time, they get our jobs and we get a nice clear view from our tent cities.
I remember going to work in the morning in Wuhan, China 5 years ago (seemed like yesterday). There were many days that I woke to this kind of pollution. It was like going through Silent Hill. Never knew if I was dead or alive. lol Good news is that you knew it was going to be a sunny day and my colleagues joked that you could look at the sun without going blind because the smog blocked out all of the UV rays. lol
We’d also come home to find that we have to wipe the black dirt off our faces and we weren’t even running around or playing on the ground. It was only because the air was so damn dirty.
Anyways, on a side note, why did they choose that porno-like jazz music to be played with this video? lol I was thinking Marilyn Monroe would come out prancing in NYC half naked. lol
