It's called nighttime...duh.

Some people dont care and others spend thousands to come see it. I looked about 15 minutes then had to get things done. Plus in a city with millions of people its crazy to think everyone can just stop for a few hours. Theres another one soon enough for most younger people to see. Not that rare or a big deal. Ive seen 4 in my 63 years.

It's dallas. You know how often it gets dark due to a major storm overhead? If anything you drive faster to try and avoid the oncoming hail lol.

very cool!

If they closed their eyes it would have been even darker!

Light bulb changed...

It was never that dark. Nice phony video editing.

People won't take 5 minutes out of their day to watch a once in a lifetime event, but you can bet your sweet butt that they can take 5 minutes out to have coffee or to smoke a cigarette,

People probably figured the eclipse was the best time to drive, traffic was down a bit.

I'd heard of this scene but this is the first I have seen.

I drove all the way to Mexico when I was 17 to watch an eclipse. It is not a "life changing" event. See, change only happens over time and with consistent pressure. I guess it's value is in learning not to follow the crowd or simply repeat what you've heard. It's four minutes of diminished light. Neat. Hey, I once saw a double rainbow. . .

In the entire history of the world a total eclipse has never been a sign of things to come. On September 6, 1755, in Portugal people saw a total eclipse, it really freaked them out, then on November 1, 1755 the great Portugal quake struck about a hundred miles off the coast of Lisbon and 60,000 people died from the tsunami that the quake caused.

Imagine being so busy in life that you could pull over to watch a once in a lifetime occurrence. I mean whether you believe in a higher power or not you pissing your life away if you have zero time for the little things

Doubt this was the eclipse. Just one night in time lapse.

People in these comments crying about people driving 💀

Great vid!

Incrível

I don’t have a clue what y’all are talking about. Plenty of people in Texas saw and watched the eclipse. Yours truly did also. Many of the schools didn’t have classes that day. And as for the folks on the road, well they were told by the State of Texas, TXDOT, not to stop on the highway. I saw the signs up and down the road that early morning before the eclipse. Sorry folks, some of us follow the rules here in Texas. Finally, I hate to say it but folks in Texas are s&@t driver so I don’t know if I would stop on the road and watch the eclipse and run the risk of getting run over or run into. That is just common sense.

Brain dead people!

The only thing in Texas that stops traffic is ice.

They didn’t ignore it. They turned their headlights on.

Funny how people are so amazed by the moon happening to get in the way of the sun for half an hr and yet you try to show the astounding manufacturing processes that go into making our modern society function and get told you are the most boring person ever...

The video makes it look darker than it really got. It was still light enough to read a newspaper easily just by the ambient light. Very erie. For the people who did not stop on the highway, life does go on and some people where working and needed to be somewhere else. I don't fault anyone for that. Lucky for me I'm retired and spent the day photographing the eclipse.

You've edited the video. It didn't get pitch black. In totality it looked like sunset.

I ignored it, too. Took a nap, slept right through it.

The video cuts as it gets dark and as it lightens up again. It gets dark during an eclipse, but not pitch black like this video shows. It’s totally fake!

The sheep who ignored the eclipse, were too occupied with getting to a from their wage cages to satisfy their corporate overlords.

I live in East Texas right in the center of totality...temperature probably dropped about ten degrees-it was awesome!

Ain't got five minutes to stop whatever frivolous pursuit they were doing to witness a once in a century cosmic event.

The simplicity of the human being is Pure, Cosmic Television....

This was great, but a slight tweak to raise the bar... During the darkness go back to 1:1 speed for 10 seconds so the viewer can drink it in, then speed back up. Bump it up two notches, use the original ambient sound (minus annoying background chatter) if you have it.

We drove 450 miles each way that weekend to see it in Cleveland. I wasn't too far from I-90 and was stunned by the number of people who couldn't care less. The sound from the interstate never changed the entire afternoon.

Meanwhile…. Imagine all the special moments people miss everyday while endlessly staring into their phones.

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

When I drove up there, there were many signs that said “No stopping on the highway to view eclipse”. Exact for exact words. Even if you wanted to, you couldn’t and it would be a safety hazard if you did.

Many talking about the end of the world too! Amazing how brain dead people have become over an eclipse!

So Cool!😎😎

You don’t have to stop moving to witness a totally. You’re literally in it💯

I only got to see the April 8 eclipse and the 2015 lunar one

Remember people this is Texas. Enough said.

*"They ignored it!!!!"* Yeah probably bc it wasn't in full totality!? We were 40 mins from Dallas in the line of complete totality. There's a huge difference so that's most likely why!

I missed this eclipse entirely. I don't remember it getting dark like that.

Lol, almost only asphalt there

That was wild to witness firsthand. Im glad I got to see one.

I was running my business and making money while this was going on. I dont give a damn about an eclipse. Seen them before, don't need a repeat .

I was at school in Dallas during totality. They actually let us go into the parking lot for it. It was absolutely gorgeous, and one of the best memories I've ever had with my friends, watching something that only happens once in a lifetime.

I dunno man I was there and it was not as dramatic as in this timelapse

I don't understand, how can people just ignore such a phenomenal cosmic event and just keep drive 😮😮😮

I'm shocked. My dad told me not to drive, seriously, he had been abusing me the whole alive. :( I'm only 1 hour away from my hometown.

Living in Tennessee, it was so cloudy the only thing we experienced was just darkness and 80 % totality. All my friends drove to Ohio and left me hanging.
