That was back before we replaced common sense with legislation.
Could you imagine what that would look like if they were all busy texting?

That is absolutely amazing footage.  I love that it is just 7 minutes of uncut film.  No editing.  Just getting one long look at another time, exactly as it was.  There is so much going on.

Thanks for posting that.

Heh, Google map's "street view"... the early years.

  And to think there wasn't any accident to be seen.  All of this before traffic control.  Unless you count the cop swinging his night stick as he was walking.  But of course it did look like everything was moving at walking speed only.

If you really look closely, there was a lot of editing. But nonetheless, it was good.
