It is Kensington Avenue in Philly. It is basically an open air drug market and the customers like to get to business ASAP.

Cant mind the towns/cities in the US but Louis Theroux has a few programs on the drugs issues in these places, well worth a watch and not dissimilar to that video in parts

You watching the show on UTV? It's crazy, can't even imagine what it would have been like to see up close.

Even though it's 20 years on and I've seen a load of these programmes I still found parts of it very hard to watch, especially anything involving the firefighters as we now know what they were walking into. That and the noise as the "jumpers" hit the building.

Its one of the worst sounds I've ever heard.

Another tough thing to listen to is in the 9/11 museum where they have a section which plays recordings of the final messages left by people trapped inside, some of them as they were lining up to jump rather than be burnt to death. Just ordinary people who went to work on a routine sunny morning.

The calls that were coming through to the call center from those in the floors above the crash, horrifying "I'm going to die, aren't I?"

The voicemails that people left for their loved ones. Tell the kids I love them... just unimaginable.
