Holy cow!

 

[The General]

Sheeeeeeeeit.

 

[The Z Machine]

Three cheers for the crumbling infrastructure of my city!

I worked a couple of blocks from that scene. CRAZY! Jones Falls runs right near there, probably eroded it out from beneath.

There are train tracks that the debris fell on. It's no surprise that the city is trying to blame the train company, CSX for the failing infrastructure.

Sorry but I had to at the screaming lady.

Sorry but I had to at the screaming lady.

Same here.

Was hoping someone would punch her in the face. Shut it lady.

I hope Hamsterdam is unharmed.

I was saying yesterday that this video is one of the most Baltimore things I've ever seen/heard. A wide range of ages and races hanging out and talking - hipsters, a redneck, and the African-American lady - all complaining that they'd been telling the City for years about the impending disaster, only to get no response whatsoever. Followed by a real-time depiction of Baltimore's infrastructure literally crumbling before their eyes.

Not to mention the lady then totally freaking out.

The visual metaphor of the cop walking by and doing absolutely nothing right before the collapse is just the cherry on top. The whole thing is so awesome.

LOL@ the people standing there watching it happen. I'd have been getting as far away as possible.

It's funny because tt's true. I lived in the Baltimore area for 7 years during and after college. That city is such a mess. Between the crime, poverty, poor infrastructure, crappy streets, etc. I just don't understand how a major city can fall apart.

Dude, where's my cars?
