What's happening at Love Canal? PART ONE
Where are the most toxic places on Earth? Well, this Is love Canal, one of the most toxic places in the entire world. This place is only surpassed by Chernobyl as the most toxic place in the world. And now, 40 years later, neighbors are claiming that there are still toxic materials coming into their homes and in their basements. As part of this film, we were invited by some people that live in these neighborhoods to see what's inside their basements and in their front yards. And what we found, quite frankly, was shocking. PART TWO IS IN PRODUCTION

A rotary car dumper or wagon tippler is a mechanism used for unloading certain railroad cars such as hopper cars, gondolas or mine cars (tipplers) like this one. It holds the rail car to a section of track and then rotates the track and car together to dump out the contents. Used with gondola cars, it is making open hopper cars obsolete. Because hopper cars require sloped chutes in order to dir...

What happened next shook the city, literally... I went there that night... This is what I remember.

The Cemetery Cats of Paris (Cimetière de Montmartre)
@16:49 I'm assuming you meant consistent, not constant. Nice docu. I personally think the City of Niagara Falls carries as much responsibility - if not more - than Hooker/Oxy in this matter. They downplayed it then, and they downplay it now, and sadly, a lot of hardcore NF residents drink the local government's propaganda Kool-Aid and really believe the assertion that all is well down at Love Canal. It isn't. Very much looking forward to Part 2.
Spent three months in Accra recently. And yes there is so much more to this city. Most of all incredibly friendly people.
Bottom line- If they were so concerned why did they not keep the land to make sure the dump was protected? Rather they chose to give it away and deflect there toxic mess.
This is just creepy
Good work
What a beautiful city
Very smart to build toxic dumps near major water supply
This video is so good, you could've actually made whole 2 hours documentary. ❤
This is a very interesting symbiotic relationship. People collectively take care of the cats. Cats are not acting feral.
Wonderful that Istanbul ' City of Cats' (and dogs) are so kind to them. Thank you! Greetings from South Africa.
Man needs editing and proofreading so his evidence is respected and taken seriously
Perfect location for tomorrows mega city.
Great video! I watched a documentary about this a few years ago, and now I get a follow-up to it. I can't wait for the next video to drop.
Thank you.
Thumbnail pulled me in cuz I thought it was Rob Hallford
Haa haaah… breakin the law. lol.
Lots of people have covered this disaster story...thank you for your insight..its so important to shine that light on these issues, so they dont repeat themselves...waiting for part2....thank you sir.
Thank you. So much on the internet is "me too" stuff. I tried to actually understand it, not just recite factoids.
I'm an environmental scientist now, but a big reason I got into it was because my grandfather and his brother grew up in love canal. He would tell me stories about playing on the playground, there would be rainbow puddles everywhere and kids would jump in them as kids do. Then he would just hear screaming, cause a kid would get the water in his eyes and it would start burning. Now in his early 70s, he and his brother are still having health problems associated with love canal, specifically dental issues. The one good thing that came from love canal was that it became the first EPA brownfield, giving the EPA a way to raise funds to treat and try to clean up areas like this.
Yes, the EPA and Superfund really really helped. Without them it would still be a supermess.
THE STUPOR FUND, BANDAID FOR CORRUPTION, OR SHUT THE FOOK UP MONEY!!!
They did what they could with what they were given. Remember they didn't maker the mess, they had to figure out how to clean it up.
16:37 *Fluoresce
Eeek did I mess that up?
Love canal is just the tip of the iceberg. There are extremely toxic waste dumps scattered through the entire western New York area. To add insult to injury I hear they're selling property on the clay cap AGAIN.
I do not know of what they are selling but the entire WNY area is festooned with toxic and radioactive sites many of which are poorly secured.
This isnt even in the top 5
Ohhh baby. Where the hell are you getting your information from. The state of New York? The national chemical industry? This area was the birthplace of the electrochemical industry. And they've been shitting this place up for over a hundred years. Yes it is the worst of the worst.
Depends on how you rate it. There are so many.
Pure evil
I dont know what it was but the result is evident.
Who is saying that? I have lived here since 1982. Anything to get a video out. Why don't you do a video on that giant hill that wasn't there in 1960s. Hooker did cap it with clay, The same way they do today. What do you think that hill is capped with. Clay.
I am not sure what you are saying here. They of course put a cap of clay on top like they normally do. However, the containment as a whole is not optimal, it was the best they could do considering the scale of the mess Hooker created.
I lived on 90th st for 22 years….and we were there when the new leak happened in 2011…..all lawsuits have been dismissed….corruption continues to this day.
It is a complex system. Not fun.
Sadly Our Government Is good at hiding Crap 😮
when she is rocking she looks like she wants to run away from his side
Great video showing the absolute disgusting atrocities that Hooker and the city allowed. Then growing a community on a dollars worth of toxic land.
The sad part is this happened in many, many place around the country, the difference is there was a school built on top of it.
Good video here. Both the city and Hooker had a hand in causing this, glad you touched a little on that aspect. Many other docs put the entire thing on Hooker and completely absolve the city of any wrongdoing.
Hooker did make this stuff in the first place...
Yes!! The city isn't a victim in this mess!
That thing was leaking back in 2008-2010 on Colvin Blvd and 96th St. A section of the road was being eroded away and created a dip in the road. They did some excavations and repairs to the road, but that dip still remains. The hauled away the stuff they dug up in lined dumpsters with workers in Tyvek suits. They had large vacuum trucks pumping out the main sewer line all the way down Colvin Blvd. Then they set in robotic cameras in the sewers to inspect them. I went down in my basement to the floor drain and gathered up a couple samples from the P trap of the rainbow tinted black ooze. But they said there was nothing to worry about. There are some small water filled ditches outside the perimeter of the containment area that you can access that black ooze and stench is still present.
Not good
Oh my gosh, a city that loves cats? I'm going there!
That was amazing, thank you for sharing
Çok ayrıntılı ve iyi hazırlanmış bir belgesel. Güzel görüşleriniz için teşekkürler. Bu arada kedi sevgimiz sadece İstanbul 'da geçerli değil. Tüm Türkiye kedilere sahip çıkar. İzmir'e de bekleriz 😊

I don't see him turning on the gas.
Nor did I. Hmmm... Wonder how that works.
Like Kyoto's geishas, but instead he's a respectable professional (provider of light to his community, preserver of heritage, fashion icon) instead of what amounts to a glorified UNESCO-protected wh*re who knows an instrument or two.
I hope this video blows up, thank you for showing us
Thanks. It was a video i didn't expect to make but decided the story was so neat.
I had no idea something like that existed in Wrocław
Good food there too. :)
I want to experience this by myself in real life. Thank you for the tip.
I heard they now do it in Prague too.
@@forgottenworldReally? ... I will try to find out.
@@RoSi4You Let me know. :)
And ... do they go around at dawn, extinguishing the lamps?
Good question, I do not know.
if the lamp-gas network is seperate from the normal one you could just turn of the gas an one central point
this is a very nice video for it having only 6 views, it was a good watch
LOL! Not my best work to be sure. I felt so awkward following him around filming him... But i thought the story was interesting.
Thanks for the elaboration. Yes, Muslims love cats and it's prohibitate to sell or buy cats. Cats are allowed to our most sacred place of worship in Mecca and Madina. Love the creatures of God is just like loving the God Himself... I am not a Turk, but while visiting Turkey I found that they are very kind to the animals which is generally not seen in other parts of the world.
When you see how animals are treated in other Muslim countries, you will understand that the story told in this video is not true.
Its origin are most likely from the Greco-Roman Constantinople or even earlier. Constantinople remained predominantly Greco-Roman in population and culture well into the modern period. The Sultans probably culturally appropriated this cultural artifact of the ancient days was enforced rigidly as they were want to, resulting in cats acceptance to this day.
@@ramseyr2852 It is more like related to the spiritual nature of Turkish people in Anatolia. If you look for other animals in the Anatolia, you will see how people respect to animals in general. for example, right now the west calls doves as 'flying rats', but they are free to fly and live anywhere they like in Turkey. They can go sh*t on top of any building. no one will try to get rid of them. the only exceptions are 'religious' people. they show behvaious similar to the western people. Also check for the first hospital in the world for flying birds (stork, etc).. you will see, they were opened in Anatolia by Turks in 1800s.. When storks were migrating, sometimes, some of them were injured. that hospital were used to treat them so they can heal and fly back.
Very nice video. I really enjoyed watching it. Thank you
Istanbul is very European and Asian combined --
I heard Japan is #1 -- reveres its CATS.
I love it -- part of the culture to love and care for them and to let them be.
Please stop equating Turkey's love for cats with Islam- it's pretty insulting to Turks, especially those who are not Muslim. I see you haven't traveled to Islamic theocracies, where there are just as many street cats, but they are NOT well taken care and suffer tremendously. This system for cats in Istanbul and elsewhere in Turkey is uniquely TURKISH. In fact, you will see Arab tourists NOT care for the cats- I've seen Arab tourist literally LEAVE restaurants because a cat was sitting a table or roaming around the tables. The Turks will just pet them and feed them.
