Reminds me of a story I read. Some guy grew up in a neighborhood near stockyards and slaughterhouses. The stench was so thick you could cut it with a knife. When he left the area for the first time as a young adult, fresh air made him sick. It took a while to adapt. Been many years since I read it. A history book I believe.

Fly this! Bye!

Show me a big city with a river that didn’t get polluted during the industrial revolution that to this day still isn’t toxic. That’s right you can’t name one.

Hey, nothing personal it's just business Eh ❓ hahahaha. 🔵1775🇺🇲

Jesus what a troll

Looks pretty good to me. Great improvement. Time is all that is needed now.

Great video! I agree with the other commenter that a wireless mic would improve the video quality. Subscribed!

Read “The Jungle”, by Upton Sinclair and you won’t eat meats anymore. But at least it broke up the Cattle Trusts and created the Pure Food and Drug Act.

No, there is no longer biomatter from the time of the Union Stockyards in that section of the river. That is impossible. The river does not "bubble" there. Please stop perpetuating this urban legend.

In the early 60's I saw the Cuyahoga on fire and the smell would make you puke if you happened to be down wind.

Very common in ponds with trees around to produce methane that can be lit on fire. I question "it's guts" when tree leaves do the same thing in slow moving waters. Those guts would have been long gone by now.

I remember visiting the stock yards as a kid. That place had a smell that took a week to leave you. Boy did bubbly creek bubble in those days as well.

Changing the flow of the water would be a typical Engineering feat of the day. These people still held the dreams of the Victorian era in their minds- nothing was impossible.

bs.

They should add aerators to the river.

I don't want to fly emirates

Shut the phuck up. That racist lady isn't canadian herself. She's an immigrant too. She's blaming an entire race just cos she couldn't secure a job. Grow uppppp!!

Very interesting

🤮

Creek can be rerouted, drained, dredged, and restored... or just add Piranha... cheers

the decay of biomass may gross you out but it is a natural process whether the biomass gets there from a butcher plant or a fish die off when normal erosion exposes toxic ore such as salt or sulfur.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing this.

RESTHAVEN is no longer there they removed the remains reburied them somewhere else sadly :( so they could expand for another runway but the sign is still on Irving park RD still say RESTHAVEN and many of the dead died 50-70 yrs b4 O'hare airport was built

At first I thought the bodies were from mob hits

This video is terrible…from content to production. It’s bush league.

Love your videos and hoping to get accepted into Embry Riddle for the Aerospace Engineering program and AFROTC👍. Also amazing video about Chicago O’hare

Good video. Gotta experiment with some more camera shots

Bunch of nerds who’ve never talked to girls… sorry Ive gotta give the riddle rats shit

Which is unfortunate, why weren’t they rendering the waste? At the time this happened there was strong demand for tallow and other fat for the manufacture of soap was high and the rendering industry was much more profitable than it is now

Google the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland that caught fire back in the day

The rivers got surface gas seaping out from under ground. I’ve seen this a lot. This has been going on forever.

Big problem is them using dynamite almost daily. The traffic is unbearable in that area now during rush hour

What would happen if they dredged it? Would it create a shit storm?

One of the old slaughterhouses in San Francisco was built out over the bay on piles. All of the blood and offal went through holes in the floor into the bay where the sharks and skates feasted on it.

I love how Chicago built the Cal-Sag to reverse the flow of the chicago river. Send all the CRAP downstream 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had no idea that conditions were ever so apocalyptic, anywhere, ever. What the heck do you do with such huge loads of waste? Put them in bags and ferment them for rotten corpse methane? That's so much worse than the decay of vegetable matter. This amount of protein and fat is a nightmare to break down. Maybe they could have made fertilizer by dessicating and grinding everything they could but I think bird and bat guano were the main fertilizers of the time.

God tried to cleanse Chicago with Great Chicago Fire in 1871. The creek was set ablaze and burned for weeks! But the people would not repent. Then came the deaths of cholera and dysentery among many diseases. The average age a man died who was a meat processor was 42 years old. Not to mention the diseases pigs carry.

While you had some good points in your video, overall it was incomplete. For one thing, the Chicago Ship & Sanitary Canal has been the permanent solution since 1900 to keeping industrial waste from flowing from the Chicago River into Lake Michigan. Two, pollution levels in the Chicago River have dropped dramatically in the last 50 years, including in Bubbly Creek (which is the part of the South Branch of the Chicago River which was bypassed in the construction of the S&S Canal). While Bubbly Creek does occasionally bubble on hot summer days, this is becoming increasingly rare. In fact, today the Chicago Park District operates a marina on the creek, which has become quite popular for kayaking and canoeing.

And the sun is a tank of hydrogen. Graves are reclaimed, watch them videos, nothing left but some brass handles after 90 years.

Green Bay had a large packing industry back in the day like Chicago. One packing plant had big blood ponds in the back of it and would overflow into a creek which eventually emptied into the bay. The blood ponds were there for years after the plant closed. Not sure if they’re still there.

I just want to study pilot training in Embry what can i do for it?

Very interesting....

The smell must have been terrible. There was a small pig farm off the route of my school bus and that was bad enough.

Not real clear on the exploding flammable bubbles? Was that in the past or does it still happen? Does the creek still bubble? Is it a real creek if it doesn’t flow into anything but itself? Wouldn’t that make it a pond?

What have you heard about the mechanical engineering program

I just got accepted and was on the fence about coming here. This video was the dealbreaker I needed. THANK YOU

I have to turn it louder to hear it but then the audio sounds worse

Buy a damn wireless mic
