In the article, it is mentioned that the film was slowed down and that sounds were added for ambiance. :-)

if you want to really f**k up something, then you put Liberals in charge of it
I grew up in NYC area and the first I remember reading/hearing about flaming Libs was NYC Mayor John Lindsay in the early 60s. The rest is history.

That would be true up through the 1950s.

I do remember that douchebag. I kept asking myself “What are those people smoking?”

Back in 1911 people spent 40% of their income on food.

Whatever they spent, did they eat a lot of non food and or chemically altered food as we do?
I wonder how much they spent on pharmaceuticals and medical procedures

That was the year my mother was born. I guess we’re two lifetimes away from those scenes.

And they spent 1% on entertainment unless they were gamblers or drunks.

My granmother, born in 1888 in a small town in illinois, grew up in a world of horses and carriages. She also saw Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.Back in the '50s I worked in a print shop in New London, CT, where this "little old lady in tennis sneakers" worked a Heidelberg press.
I was always interested in people who lived in an age where technilogical changes came back-to-back. When she mentioned that her mother, as a kid, saw President Grover Cleveland, I asked her to check with her mom about what made the biggest impression on her. (I'm thinking airplanes, radio, telephone, TV, etc.)
The next day she said, "You're not gonna believe this." All agog, I waited. "Mom said it was people watering their lawn. She had grown up in a 'sodbuster' family in Nebraska and remembered how they 'prayed for rain for the crops, and now you just turn a handle and get all you want.' "
It put things into perspective for me.

It's a bigger shame that NYC didn't sink into the Atlantic The Pollution!
Think of the fishes, though any around that massive hellhole are probably too contaminated to eat anyway.
