This unique video was taken October 29th through November 1, 2011 by Paul Hodge, www.genpolicy.com, while Paul is on his Oct/Nov Around the World Amazing Race. The video shows Beijing China's air quality deteriorating at an alarming rate over the four day period. Beijing's meteorological bureau issued its first winter "fog alert" (really should be "smog alert") because low visibility closed six major roads and caused delays/cancellations for 200+ flights! China's Ministry of Environmental Protection rated Beijing as the worst polluted city in all of China for the last two days. The government warned everyone to stay inside and in some cases, as with children's events, all outdoor events were cancelled.
