[Jasun1974]

[yogi1707]

Why does it look like there walking/marching in snow and breathing mist from there mouths such as a winters day?If its June?. Lovely piece of film tho , thanks for the upload.

[menacinghat]

in 100 years youtube will probably be archived and everyone who goes on it will see what internet life was like in the 2000s and the eery feeling of lifes passed by

[plantain007]

imagine living in this time O.O

[wrestlefanatic77]

I was I was around in 1899. America was in the tail end of the Gilded Age.

[GreasyRockabilly]

dead men walking

[dhksrksalem]

[papayas234]

1999 - Hundert Jahr!

[TheTrollingService]

thiis is so lame

[ryanmshepard92]

I wonder what New Years was like that year. They're gonna party like it's 1899! No showing your ankles though.

[jimmy212145]

Part of me wishes I was around during this time!

[hellomikie92]

wowwwwwwwwwww! So awesome man! 

[Corncrops]

Where's the HD!?

[agent4051]

My great grandfather was a police officer in New York around that time.

[esraretin]

i wonder when utube erase our comments...even our comments wont exist on youtube we ordinary people

[DetroitLove4U]

When I see old footage like this from the late 19th Century in American Cities I honestly first think of old coins and currency for they truly personify the times!!!!

[MrNeoqc]

oh watch is my grand-pa .....oh no sorry , its my grand-grand-grand pa !

[nicapride84]

i guess going back in time is posible (technology) i love it

[slippolives]

I wonder if any of those buildings are still around?

[Penis626]

The weird thing is that there are still a few people in the world maybe less than 100 that was alive when this was made. After all the record for the oldest person alive is currently held at 130. So it would be safe to say there are still a few out there that may have been kids when this happened.

[sihplak]

@Penis626 O_O

[ricadrew]

It's just plain weird that on all these old films so many feel the need to put a comment on how all the people in the vid are dead. Why do people do this? Of course they're dead, what's the deal with these people?

My guess would be that they still haven't come to terms with their own mortality yet, but who knows!

[scorpietta]

@ricadrew I've wondered that as well. I've been watching these old videos as well and they are FLOODED with those comment: "Is that kitty still alives(sic)?" Ah, no since the footage is from 1903.

"The sad part is that all these people are now dead?" Why? prehaps they lived long and fruitful lives.

And on and on and on. These scenes are fascinating, so enjoy a piece of history.

[TheZeusBox]

thats back when cops actually protected the city instead of harrass the young people

[wheelslarbac]

Say these cops had been asleep for 111 years

going to bed in 1899 and waking up in 2010

gone are the horses, the housewives, the long

dresses and sutes men wore and replaced

with jeans and very modern cars, no smoking

drugs being illegal, drunk driving and divorce

it would be such a shock it would kill most of

them.

Another shock is blacks and disabled seen

in public with white people as equal

The internet has already become one huge archive. I been seeing videos and reading about early america. I used to have a stack of encyclopedias which I threw out the window. No one wanted to buy them. 100 years from now we will be gone and some other being on earth will be reading about early america in his brain and proyecting images out of their eye sockets. Perhaps the end of the world has come. No more you tube!

[lpvcrcd]

excellent!

[seapoacher]

If you want to watch something really awesome go to "Air - La Femme D'Argent " on youtube!

Clip of Market Street San Francisco 1905.

[DeathWarrant90]

100 years from now ppl will have more sources than we have...more videos and pictures to study...they will understand more of our time than we ever will understand of the time the ppl in this video lived in

[A3QPVOT]

"Your wrong"............

(Not) all of them are dead.

Take the worlds oldest living person for example who was only a child when this parade took place.

[DeathWarrant90]

everyone in this video is dead...

[sugoiking]

scary to think that all of those people are now gone o.o"

[Corrupt5B]

And the horses too...

[bdienstag]

Horse shit everywhere!

[wwwchimpoutDOTcom]

you know whats really creepy? The internet will be an archive. 100 years from now somebody may stumble upon fatman3141 videos and think the same thing. "Hes dead!"

[crk416]

@wwwchimpoutDOTcom I KNOW! Only then, the videos will be crystal clear HD. of a person over a century dead. I wish we had that.

[hellomikie92]

@wwwchimpoutDOTcom LOL!

[altoids79762]

@wwwchimpoutDOTcom if you think about it the way our internet is ,the more and more people keep posting videos the more harder this will be to find in 100 years.

[TheIxtlan]

The marching dead.

[TheMagickScene]

@TheIxtlan

That was a creepy statement. Cool but creepy.

[gallantman44]

I kind of think things are better today in some regards. There are less full scale wars, better medicine, much better communication, transportation, education, life span, I could go on and on... as far as values? That changes with generations.

[Surfer22z]

Well the only reason there are less full scale wars is because one nation keeps the peace.

[78625amginE]

So cool

[gallantman44]

Everyone in this video has long since been dead and are merely dust in their coffins. creepy huh? Time just goes on and on, and we're next.

[jeffw1267]

It depends on how well their bodies were preserved, and what year they died. I'll bet some of those coffins would still stink pretty bad if they were opened today. But you're right. 100 years from now people will look at us the way we looked at these people.

[jameswsparker]

Hmm... it sure hell makes you think how everything you're living in is already old fashioned; and I have a dream of never getting old which I know I'll never meet.

Time is sacred. `

[kyleekowgirl]

almost 100 years b4 i was born...i woner what i was doing...???

[opelske]

There is always some percentage of corruption in any era and in any institution. The idea is to limit it since it will never be rid of entirely. The problem today is that it is off balance, way off balance, in this upside down world.

[opelske]

Everything is in a constant stage of change and development. But I ask you, how did we get where we are today? Seems like devolution.

[alinalin0]

What

's neat about these old movies is that every single person you see is long dead

[rudeboyjohn]

defintaely dude, and so are their kids and grandkids

[bdienstag]

the horses are dead too

[MikeandGenR]

Is there deodorant invented during those times? it's hot when it's summer and theyre wearing those kind of clothes!heheh!!!

[marvy1118]

and no air conditioning in the buildings.

[mariaRV2]

Sri Lankans used to get cocked back in these days at the turn of the century

[TheJazzyMan1988]

As bad as you might think it was than, put it into perspective. They may have been more likely to accept bribes...but like tasering women for non-violently resisting arrest? They would have said "HELL no you can't hit a woman!" Maybe domestic violence WAS more common but that was "between a man and his wife". And they would LET citizens "take the law into their own hands"...infact they would ENCOURAGE it...there is NOTHING corrupt about that as long as SOMEONE is overseeing the operation.

[Squarerig]

The third man from the left looks like an anarchist.Arrest him at once!

[ilove1994]

hummmm wares Charles Becker he was the Lutenit in the 1890s and 1910s .

[brahmsnliszt]

flubno - they will be saying that about us too in 100 years time

[flubno]

Whats neat about these old movies is that every single person you see is long dead.

[MetalSanke]

No shit, Sherlock.

[punchachristian1]

honestly, what an in depth remark! douche bag

[flubno]

I have a PENIS !

[Ubergruppenfuhrer]

Yeah right. If you had a big one like mine I would ask you to stick it up your gay-ass, HOMO!!!

[mossfitz]

Neat?

[geoffds]

Huzzah! Kudos! Why, I haven't been so tantalized by a moving-picture since the epic "Man does backflip" and the sequel "Man does frontflip."

[curtaorio]

realmente incrivel

[MetalSanke]

Old school surge drill.

[SHADEPICASSO]
