    Aren't you neglecting the earthquake that preceded the fire?

    And a points deduct for a soundtrack that's not period correct

    Is it wrong that I was greatly pleased to see the smile knocked of the little Mazda's face? Because I was. A lot.

    I found the crash test of the X1 slightly satisfying.

    Like when you find out a suicide bomber only was able to kill himself.

    this is so rad. though it's easy to think life back then was so perfect since we don't see the prostitutes and the opium dens.

    I was kind of shocked or something to see a guy riding a horse down the street with all the cars. It was weird for some reason. What did he think of cars?

    I loved the guttersnipes hanging on the back of the car!

    What is the tall building seen at the end of the road?

    Someone needs to do a remake of this film.

    Watching this makes me feel a lot less cynical about the way people drive today. I mean, at least now traffic is split into lanes, and people drive more or less in an intended direction and at somewhat similar speeds. The apparently random flow of vehicles and pedestrians looks downright bewildering, or would at least call for a lot more attentiveness. And I'm glad I don't have to deal with a soup of pedestrians, horse carts, bicyclists, street cars, and automobiles.

    Then again, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Gotta love the guy with the big ol' horse-drawn wagon pulling right into the path of the street car, never once giving a look or, apparently, a damn that he's cutting someone off.

    So many lessons. There must have been an enormous number of deaths and injuries with the random movements of horses, cars, pedestrians, bicycles, streetcars--amazing. Second, we also see the boredom level, pre-tv and internets, that led people to behave like deranged roadrunners and challenge the streetcars. Third, no vehicle inspections meant you could have as big a wagon as your team could pull and it would gently sway and creel in a cartoonish way.

    I am glad these old films are being restored. here is one from 1908, where people were aware of the filming and Barcelona --as is probably still true--doesn't have as many huge horseless carriages:

    @beercheck: Yes, that's right- the first one, before they reset the letter count. From 1903-1904, around 1,700 were made, so it's not unreasonable.

    The video is slowed down to "normal" speed. Sorta trippy to watch an old movie where you expect everyone to be running around benny hill style but instead they're all... normal.

    @Turboner: i imagine it was excitement at seeing a "movie-camera" on the front of the rail car but the kid who runs back and forth in front of it makes me laugh (around 4:36 or so...)

    great video though
