A real and tough look at a notorious Philadelphia drug neighborhood. I started shooting here in 1995 and Nightline allowed me to return in 1998 to complete this compelling story. Reporter Ted Koppel, Producers Leroy Seivers, Artis Waters Camera Fletcher Johnson Audio Hank Disselkamp Charles Breiterman and Shari Thomas

  • AS SOON AS THAT COP WALKED IN LOOK HOW FAST THE DRUGS STOPPED. NEIGHBORHOODS SHOULD BE SAFE NOT UNSAFE. WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE PERSON/PERSONS RUNNING PHILADELPHIA?

  • @saksmarcus Chicago Murder rate is 3 per day, so thats like 900 Murders per year,

  • cops get extorted by drug dealers everywhere

  • philly looks like a rough place to live

  • @mikevick215 it is

  • i dont see why philly is never up there in the list of most dangerous cities in america or anything. its always camden. back then camden was not worse than philly. it just started being really bad when more ppl started moving in to the city

  • philly is not gettin better wit the murders n stuff. theres really no difference in philly in 1998 and 2012

  • Drugs crushed the poor people. Who wants to support an addict? Its really hard, all you can do is help the kids and hopefully they wont follow in the crack mother/father footsteps. I still remember 8th and Butler (the badlands). Suburbs got those addicts too, its just not shown on TV

  • @MMA94NYC u sound dumb philly as of 2012 has da highest murder rate among any big city in america including nyc,chicago,la etc philly always leads in homicides among big cities in da new yr but this year has increased alot its way worse than nyc i go to nyc alot and i feel way more comfortable and safe philly im always lookin over my shoulder..... type in disorder in Philadelphia to see for yourself

  • Philly has already had 45 murders this yr. it ain't even been 45 days this yr!
