There's a guy who walks into the middle of the frame at 1:39 who looks EXACTLY like me. At first he looks towards the camera by turning his head left, and then he turns it to the right and eventually faces the camera. What's weird is that a long time before watching this video, I told myself that when I die, and if heaven exists, I'd like to go to the 1904 St. Louis world's fair.. This comes close, but damn, this is freaky especially considering I lived in Paris during my childhood..... damn.

Mignon, mais les batiment et les pavilon super ne se voient pas bien...

What exactly were they moving on? A giant motorized belt of some kind?

this was way ahead of its time

Not exactly true, the sidewalk was dismantled at the end of the fair.
I have looked for reports of injuries but have found none, but possibly you are right.
FAKE! Totally fake.

There were actually two running side by side; one moving slightly faster than the other, this is visible if one watches the film carefully. You alight on the slow one and then step onto the faster one to travel.
