Philly

There are plenty of small towns and rural areas across the US where the ravages of drugs have taken their toll too and it looks, especially in slow motion, like a scene from the Walking Dead.

A few blocks around a methadone clinic or whatever that place was doesn't mean Philly or other US cities are on their knees, despite what alt-right lowlifes like Posobiec would have you believe.

Is that video entirely genuine?

Frightening if it is.

It may well be.

I've seen a similar one from Las Vegas where a taxi driver made a film down a particular cul de sac where homeless addicts congregate in a tent city.

Same scenes of people stumbling around in a haze of drugs, completely out of their minds.

I live in NYC, and I'm sure there are corners of this city like that too. Doesn't mean the city is unlivable and everyone needs to get the hell out before they're killed. Anymore than the happenings in places like, say, Killinarden made the south side of Dublin a terrible place to live when I lived there 20 years ago.

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.

Aye, just unreal even though you know it happened it's just still unbelievable.

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.
