Seeing all these cities shut down reminds me the History Channel series Life after people.
Jason Hinton I use to love that show!
You may be apart of this shot called extinction before it’s over we got a long way to go and the heard is thinning rapidly!
Make this a game
As a grandmother I feel my grandkids need to watch those shows around ten years old. It will leave an indelible mark on them. Here is to all the people who maintain this world and a major flip of the bird to those who abuse this beautiful EARTH.
I think this is the prequel to that same series.
FINALLY no more CGI post apocalypse scenes in movies now we gonna have the real HD shit!
Shawn Robert my exact thoughts. This would be perfect to film an apocalypse movie
yeah right. i live in Indianapolis - when driving to work its still a hectic mess of sheep on the roads..... like where the fuck are they all going?
@@sabianescoo they can't how do you shoot a movie 6 feet apart?
Now everybody in their homes are gonna open their windows or come out to watch you guys film. But during the lockdown, i think no activities and other stuff is going around during lockdown time.
We're in the endgame now
They're all in the Wal-mart parking lot.
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣👏
😂 waiting in line pist
LMAO this is true . that dam place
Thank you so much for that.
When this is over there would be a movie I promise you
Took only five years for Oliver Stone to make a shitty movie about 9/11. Bet now he is gonna try to be even faster. Nothing like cashing in on the misery of people. Oliver should be ashamed of himself.
Perhaps the movie has already been made and we are just playing out the scenes in real life.
@@_yesjas everthing is planned from the start
and Hollywood also promise that content will not included China
@Steven Hickman I'm not saying it was shitty, because it was not entertaining. I'm saying Oliver Stone and Hollywood in general are disgusting for cashing in on the misery of people. Pulling heartstrings to make a quick buck. Don't twist my words, pal!
It actually looks like an apocalypse lol
It is
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.
Not funny
@Jason Smelski correcting someone that is right?lol.tf 😂
I wish it was
Looks like the scene in Avengers when Thanos snapped his fingers.
Thatguy808 On god
Thanos did nothing wrong.
Yes. So true.
Never Again Imagine being this much of an asshole for no reason
Corona got all the Infinity Stones dammit call Iron Man
I'm gonna miss this when it's over. No traffic.
Lol😂
@A J You won't.
Yeah no cops too where I’m at it’s amazing
LMAO
Deadass the FDR drive is practically an open drag strip.
I love how everyone was saying it wouldn’t be worse than the common cold but the common cold doesn’t cripple economies
This was a money grab you sound like my son you don't want to know what's going on.
@@jeffreyisaacs5243 I want to know what's going on. Tell me
Or help heal the earth 😌
That was only stupid ass Trump saying that.
Common cold doesnt mean common sense
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
Nothing can stop what’s coming! Nothing
Hmmm what Storm are you talking about ?
@ballsak when the disease mutates and creates a world wide zombie apocalypse
@@EKJ79980284217 The 1918 Pandemic came in two waves. The second one was the big killer.
It will be a long time comming Good storm for the country. "The CALM after the storm"
Covid 19 feels like the premise for a post-apocalyptic movie. Except it's reality.
I just keep thinking how much this really feels like the beginning scenes from an apocalyptic movie.
We still haven't cured the Flu btw so this could go on indefinitely and the weaker ur immune system the more ur at risk. This could change how the world works if this doesn't have a cure.
did you watch contagion
@@Slashplite I watched it in 2012. I always thought it was going to happen. Just not this soon, and with the most incompetent federal Gov't possible.
So those drone shots from Endgame were actually predicting 2020 wow
Predictive programming at its best bud
so I Am Legend predicted 2020 wow
Council Of 9 correct
>Avengers
>not I Am Legend
>not Contagion
smh
@@GabrielAlcala956 ever since i saw i am legend it's haunted me. Welp. Here we are.
Bout time we give the world a break, Jesus Christ.
Being grateful is everything. Isn't it? Tommorow isn't promised, that's why the "present" moment is a gift. Really, it's all that anyone ever can have.
Facts
@@jessicasmith7102 yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that is why it's called the present - master oogway
I think giving the world brake is not the right word. When we face a problem we put other problems behind uss i went to the store and there are hundreds of latex gloves all over the parkinlot we dont hafe to trash the planet to keep us safe. And I'm sure this is happening in many places right now. But I know what you mean 😉
You should be ashamed yourself using our Lord's name as the f word.
It's so creepy. Everything is so quiet
Quiet. As it should be, finally.
It's actually nice. In a way.
I love it
Lol gtfo. You know how many thousands of takes it took to get these empty shots? I'm a truck driver. I've been in each of these city's in the last month. Ther are cars and people all over the place.
Why does the music sound like an old record playing. I do kinda like that part.
Someone Fly a Drone Over INDIA.... you will be mind blown with the before and after videos of the locations...
Same shithole?
Same shithole, no people on the streets? Wow
Por Que India’s a good country, you need to go there to see it’s brilliance
Jm P India’s a good country, if you go there you’ll see that’s it’s actually a good country
@@postmalone868 there's enough content on the internet to show how bad it is. Look up Karl Rock. He tries to make it look good and it still looks bad

It's time for a creative neo revolution technologically advanced our minds need to create space programs to explore new frontiers in hopes to progress humanity in hope that we evolve into our future; humankind

I Am Legend (2007)
@DeeJay ViVo do we have technology why haven't we made the guard fall through passive revolution why are us men scared of death we pomp our words to look"cool" towards our contemporaries and opposites it's embarrassing we're turtles with no shell growing wrinkles by the day talk we do move we don't the resources we're talking about are barcoded by a corporate army who uses our turncoats against us our own brothers and sisters in this pale blue dot we're scared of poverty and death or imprisonment so we talk of ideas instead of put them to work but let's keep critiquing each other instead of actually doing something collectively towards the future of humanity I forgot typing opinions on UA-cam we'll get us there 👓
That Flying Squid is a paid actor *0:35*
Lol.... I was wondering about that. Lol 😝
Actually it’s a Sentinel. Everybody is hiding from him
Thx For the like but really tho what is that thing 😂
TGN_Tortoise a kite 🪁
I want that kite it's awesome
At least it's quiet.
Car-centered cities are annoying.
yall act like you were outside every day, to begin with xD
Toby lol
exactly xD
iN THOSE CITIES, YOU HAVE TO BE.
You’re right. Nothing changed for me. ☺️
Strait up
It’s like time stopped... ya know?
Is that jo...nevermind...
Time does not exist. There is only now
Let me finish that sentence for you,
Is that a jojo reference?
Happy that people are being civilized and not breaking into places everywhere
Early days
Cool idea thanks
Just wait. It's only just begun unfortunately.
There are reports of people breaking into closed restaurants in Seattle.
Give it a couple weeks, if that. In Italy people are getting restless and tired of being locked up too long. Eventually people take to the streets when it gets claustrophobic. Everyone wants to get back to normality.
Mom can we go see Endgame?
*We have Endgame at home*
Endgame at home:
This is like an intro of a apocalyptic movie
It’s actually very sad.
Mother nature will claim everything she had.
Things are not sad or happy. Only our judgements.
Hell no! It’s awesome
Yes very sad
Watermelon , think of it as a good thing, this gives us time to not pollute and give Mother Earth a chance to heal
Last year we were hyped to watch Endgame, now we are in the Endgame
LMFAO 💀
1:25 dude smoking a blunt
Yo I feel like I'm being followed...
His homie: nah u buggin
🤣 made me think of Goodfellas and the helicopter.
Anyone seen the movie I’m legend
Lol yeah, this made me think of that
Yess it looks just like that
I got the movie facts
Yes. It's creepily accurate
Every version and remake ("I am Legend" wasn't the first or the last movie based on the book) First there was Vincent Price's "Last Man on Earth" (arguably the best of them), then Chuck Heston's serviceable "Omega Man", followed by Will Smith's I am Legend, and finally The Asylum' released "I am Omega" (Asylum Movies are rarely worth mentioning, and this one is no exception.)
If you're going to check out one of the earlier one's, try Vincent Price's, but really, the book wasn't that great, so I don't understand why it keeps getting remade. It's biggest claim to fame is that it inspired George A Romero's Night of the Living Dead.
So I guess we can thank it for The Walking Dead and World War Z (which WAS a book worth reading).
The world has taken a break......
AND WE WILL BE BROKEN IF WE DON'T USE THIS CRISIS TO OUR ADVANTAGE.
@kR0Z0nFaLL _x ...can you explain?
No it hasn't. I have to go to work normally and there's traffic all over. A few cities have taken a break.
@@HunterShows Right, alot of people dont understand this. There are some people that have to continue to work and cant stay at home.
merced121 this
You are living (hopefully) through something that will be in the history books till the end of civilization
True.
MA LOOK IM IN HISTORY
Btw this is what every city looks like at 3 or 4 in the morning, shoutout to all the 3rd shift workers out there.
New York is still bustling at 3am.
@@msmilano7091 lol not anymore, people moving outta that mess.
One good thing about all this is that pollution will drop exponentially
You do not know what exponentially means.
*Drastically
Council Of 9 , yeah, clean air for the dead
The economy will sure drop but the population....let's say we need to have the deaths 1000 times more for it to even make a dent...so far only 0.001% people of the whole planet have died due to this virus and most of them were going to die in a couple of years anyways
@@lataparashar201 We are talking about pollution not population.
Not gonna lie. Empty and quiet Los Angeles was beautiful.
I wish they would look at the positive side of this change.
@Damian Tv facts fig from a new York post poll shows the best way possible is the number that you t rgb in a way
Damian Tv how ??? Pollution dropping super low / criminality dropping super low
The only time I thought this was possible was in the movies. Never in my life I thought I would see this
the cleanest air those cities have had in generations . can't we have a life and clean air/water ?
If you want to keep posting comments on UA-cam? No, we can't live without polluting the planet. But we can slow down the process.
@@kasnitch Ok virgin.
Louise McMillin we don’t have a population problem, we have a resource distribution problem
Louise McMillin and that’s how we have nazis.
lol what are you talking about ? San Francisco always has clean air a majority of the year because it’s constant ocean breeze keeps pollution flowing away. Not saying it’s a good thing but the region doesn’t suffer from bad air days like LA.
Still hard to believe this bitter reality.
@Conor Winston And your incapacity of grasping other people’s meaning is unbelievable.
There is only one thing bitter about it and that is it will end soon. Humanity is horrible strain on the natural ecosystems and just these few weeks with our activity lessened made it so much better all around the world.
Probably one of the eeriest videos I’ve seen in a while.
Guys, thank you for doing this video. I am gonna show it to my kids some day when I will have them. These are Solid moments of our history. Amazing montage.
Been In LA and SF since this has all started and I've been around these places for a decade now. I've never seen the cities go through something like this and it's the deadest ive ever seen the roads. hope people in all 4 cities and everyone else across the globe can get through this
This is sad 😭 but also astounding. In an awe inspiring way.
Very sad, my heart goes out to the families of lost love ones, and all those doctors and nurses risking possible death so families dont have to be told a loved one died.
That comment didn't age well. LOL!
@@bonsaipiper3773 over 1 million dead in the states alone… I’d say otherwise
@@Rmfeary97 LOL. Did you count the guy in FL who died from a motorcycle crash and cause of death was Covid? LOL. Just be quiet and mask up, sheep.
This hits differently when you’ve actually been to these places. I remember the countless times I’ve stayed with my sister in SF. Seeing SF empty definitely gave me an eerie feeling.
Right now is a good time to do a zombie apocalypse scene.
yeah, but all the actors is gonna hafta be 6 feet apart
Watching all the way from Everest region, Stay safe guys 🤙🤙
Whats the situation like in Nepal?
Good practice. The next one may not be so forgiving an outbreak. For those who feel they don't need to follow the quarantine because they are younger, remember that attitude when this happens again later down the road and you're in the crosshairs of an outbreak. These are pretty encouraging pictures but I see many more states that just don't give a shit.
Absolutely stunning
Ny looks beautiful both ways.
Ps: The other cities too , I'm just a New Yorker at heart.
I'm not from New York, I wish.
@@Nadiesalevivo Stay healthy my friend. Blessings from Wisconsin
Hauntingly beautiful. Wonderful shots.
so we just gunna act like no one so the demegorgan in the sky at 0:30
I saw it! Looks like a squid🦑 lol
Didn’t you see mary
poppins as a child?
That’s a kite
It’s a Sentinel. People are actually hiding from it
@@XxLilBxX1 and the comment i left, thats called a joke
#STAYHOME .... is the best thing that they can do for humanity... GOD BLESS THEM ALL & ALL THEIR FAMILIES...!!!!!
This video is so calming. I could spend my whole days watching this kind of video 💗
i love how peaceful everything is. the land is having a rest.
Ken block should be shredding these empty streets with his all wheel drive Mustang
This is a lie! I live in Seattle and all I kept thinking this weekend when I went shopping is 'this sure doesn't look like a quarantine' there were people everywhere!
I live downtown LA and it's not like this at all. I think they shot this very early on a Sunday morning when everyone is home asleep just to make it look more "deserted".
@@davidsieber799 Unless you do a fly over yourself you can't get the whole picture.
Love the peace and quiet gonna miss this when it’s over....
This is giving me goosebumps
The whole damn country needs to look like this so we can stop spreading it
@@dianafloss5910 I hear ya I live in Oregon and it's the same up here. People need to stay home but there not . It's crazy I dont get why people wont just stay home if they can . If not it's just gonna keep spreading stay safe
@@dianafloss5910 wow they will learn
fr i still see posts about parties and people hanging out with their friends
malik true they will but unfortunately in the process there gonna spread it to everyone they come in contact with. I mean not listening and staying home has severe consequences. Peoples lives are at stake ya know
I live across the water from seattle in port orchard. In my almost 39 years I have never seen seattle that empty! I am praying this virus gets under control! Everyone stay safe and keep close to family!
Hey neighbor! I'm right across from you at Alaska Junction. One of the things I loved about west seattle was how quiet it is. This though, this is so quiet I can hear the ambulance going across the WS bridge. Super eerie.
Left speechless and in tears. It looks like a war was lost already.. Thought maybe my sons grandkids, grandkids might experience something like this. Never with a blink of an eye . We are scared-we are now recluse. And for the record I miss people, just maybe this will show everyone no matter who or where you come from makes a difference we are all humans and need to treat each other more civilly. If this isn't fixed soon I will need to make arrangements- I worked 2 jobs and a Pancreatic Cancer Survivor. I have no family other than my son. And I will not be a burden to him because I can't pay Bill's. Or have money for food. I survived and I know it was not to suffer a worse death.
Amazing job. Gran trabajo!
0:32 The Grim Reaper looking everyone who still wander.
It looks so peaceful to me
I have not felt this united in a long time. Thank you to everyone who knows that they can make a difference
I've never seen something so beautiful and peaceful, Not a single cell phone in sight.
Never realized how green LA is compared to other cities...
San Francisco is far more green as well as Seattle. They both get more rain than LA and have more vegetation in the winter. LA is suburban sprawl, little to no trees/green spaces.
Feel like I'm in a movie like Resident Evil set for no zombies
2020 was traumatizing. We were actually living in a horror movie.
I find so much peace in seeing this. It’s like the world is healing itself...so beautiful 😊
0:31 I get the lockdown but where is there a giant Jellyfish in the sky
... bruh that’s a kite
Weird looking kite, Mate who flying Kite Lock down???
@@tarahbear3206 Filipino's 😂🇵🇭✌️
It's actually a pretty cool looking kite.
0:32 someone flying a kite 🪁 over at state historic park
Seeing this make me wanna Cry! New York (Home Sweet Home)!!! Stay Safe Everyone...
This will be legendary footage!
Hope everything will be back to normal soon.
Nah the world is gonna be never the same after all this goes away trust me and it's just the beginning
Hope this sparks a positive change and people can see how much work can be done from home instead of driving to and from an office... this will reduce a lot of pollution
@@randomrachael420 Yasss! Spot on observation!
@@jordanrivers9090 dude chill out with that nobody don't wanna hear that rn
Shadow Smith truth hurts :‘)
Resident Evil Covid-19🤣
It's eerily beautiful.
The music really set the mood there.
We're in the endgame now.
We're living in walking dead show in real time now. It's crazy.
Glad to be doing my part in Brooklyn.
Earth needed this
I watched "I'm a legend" just now.. then I see this video.. damn.. it similar..
"I Am Legend"
Very eerie
My neighborhood in seattle where the T-section cross is, was full of cars lol
it's creepy until you realize everyone is just inside all those buildings
@x exactly!!
This is really sad, but also good and important that so many of us are taking this pandemic seriously.
As someone who works right in SF (I can see my office building in the Oracle Park drone shot at 2:16), this is....surreal
Wow amazing
We will all get though this.
Who else saw the Illuminati squid flying through the sky? 😲
Yea man wtf was that
HeartBreakKid711 that’s what I’m saying! I rewatched it a few times and it just looks like a flying squid 😂
I thought it looked like a octopus.
I saw it
See you all again when this gets recommended again in 5-10 years
This is so beautiful. Everything is empty and quiet. Wish it would stay like this.
Kids: this is like Avengers endgame..
Men: this is like 28 days later.
Women: this is like... something
(I don't really know cuz Ima dude)
January 2020 : "I wish won't have to deal with humans this year, and finally blossom in my introvert bubble !"
March 2020 : "NO NO NO, NOT LIKE THAT ! HELL NO, CANCEL, ABORT ABORT !"
Why not? Works for me.
Honestly this seems like the best time to get some epic B-Roll! lol (obviously stay safe people)
I used to leave in Los Angeles..... I have never seen it so peaceful, so clean, so beautiful......
The place the United States, The time the Present. This is like a intro to The Twilight Zone!
You really had to put that music in the background. You guys are horrible smdh
calm down edgelord
Right. This is a time to focus on how this whole situation can bring positive changes in the future
Feels like The Walking Dead season 1. All it's missing is some random police officer riding a horse in the middle of the street.
meanwhile, SUM HOW, there's still tons of traffic on the 405 few for me to get home. Awesome.
