Very Interesting, nice find. This looks like it was before there was any sort of traffic laws or control. [rofl]

**Lilji** · 03-29-2011, 11:57 PM

That's very cool! It looks so chaotic yet if we look at our own rush hour traffic today it's pretty crazy as well. This is a window into the past I won't be forgetting.

Busy little bees going about their lives totally unknown to them they would be viewed on YouTube and Internet over a century later.

lol, so much chaos! Definitely before traffic/pedestrian laws. really awesome vid

I love the Ferry Building in the background.

HERE is a link to a ton of pics of the building. Wild to compare the "then and now".

Looks like it

The video I posted was filmed only four days before the Great California Earthquake of April 18th 1906 and the film was then shipped by train to NY for processing.

**uncoosesoge** · 03-30-2011, 07:14 AM

Very eerie to think that every single person in that video (foreground, background, does not matter) is dead. But then again, it's a breathtaking video all the same.

The Kromgram came out in 1907 and cost $US50 (or $US1000 by today’s standards). However, the Chronicle says that Ives marketed the device terribly and it failed. Se... even back then 3D was marketed terribly!! [rofl]

I found it a bit eerie and surreal, but fascinating.

**pitoufsd** · 03-31-2011, 02:35 AM

Very, very interesting (especially since I've been there several times). Thanks for posting!

**newwebstar** · 03-31-2011, 02:58 AM

Great film, nice find. Could have watched that for hours.
