  • talk about a hot mess!!

  • Never realized all the great footage Sheldon (RIP) got.

  • London has just gone through something like this, but the cause in London was more like the LA riots.

  • Are you sure this isn't maybe... July 14??? The morning after the black out started??

  • Part of this video feels 1970s because of the chaos.

    But part of it does not to me because it feels like a home video, given the absence of a reporter's voice.

  • Amazing some of these neighborhoods still stand after the firestorms of that decade.
