I was 13 living in the S Bronx. The next day I went outside and saw every single store was looted. Half the stores never came back.

[@robertnussberger6449]

Same thing in Brooklyn Those stores on Broadway never came back until 1998 only some started to open. But in 2019 were😊 looted again

[@johnford9070]

Where did the stores move too? How’d they get there? Store busses??

[@robertnussberger6449]

@johnford9070 no idiot People that owned them lost all their money they had invested in them For years no one would invest in the neighborhood For years there were no food stores clothing restaurants cell phone ect Just empty burnt out shells selling Crack to the blacks that lived there

[@robertafierro5592]

This compilation is fantastic! It brought me back to my terrible childhood.

[@mistersquare7327]

In my childhood I was sure everybody in the States was prosperous and happy=)

[@robertafierro5592]

@@mistersquare7327 you are absolutely right! The Television Studios in Hollywood wanted to.pirteay Americans as being Wholesome, Attractive, Super Brave, etc. As an isolated kid, I too watched TV but, I really thought there were places like Green Acres, Mayberry, Dick Van Dyke was a favorite of mine..I must have been 4 or 5 years old..

40+ years later Curtis Sliwa still working everyday to help NY be a safer place to live . Elect Curtis for Mayor next election .

[@BlazeOfGlory742]

Can’t slow Curt down at all.

[@user-er3ri6sc3j]

He sounds the same.

I grew up in the Bronx and some friends brought me to one of Sliwas first meetings. It was in a McDonalds on Fordham Rd BX where he was a manager.

[@bmxbandito9]

The bookstore never gets looted

[@winstonslone2797]

For real, all that knowledge for the taking and they pass it up for the smoke shop or liquor store. People wonder why business's don't want to operate in NYC. You are creating your own food desert that they always complain about after they run target out because they have been operating at a loss for a decade.

[@NEPatriot]

Bill Jorgenson, John Roland, Bob O'Brien, John Miller, Bill McCreary...the gritty storytelling...even down to the "5" logo...this was channel 5 news.

I'm a baby New Yorker. Been living in the Bronx since July of 22. I'm originally from the deep south so this is like living in a whole nother world. There is always some adventure to be had in the city. In the words of Foghat "I'm a fool for the city" love the videos.

[@robertnussberger6449]

In the 70s and 80s nyc was definitely a zombie apocalypse

[@winstonslone2797]

@@robertnussberger6449 it's pretty bad in some places spots in the Bronx. Highbridge area and Ogden are bad due to the fentynal and xylezine junkies. It's basically an open air drug market on east Tremont. Saw a guy get robbed in broad daylight at the Williams bridge metro north stop. I don't go out staring at my phone or have earbuds in. Always be ready to defend yourself. The weak don't make it here. Sad but true

History is fascinating, humans today are very lucky that they can get a window into the past through media.

[@BudsCartoon]

I was born on the day that Reggie Jackson hit 3 homeruns in the World Series.

[@fasteddie9055]

I worked as a Lorillard tobacco sales rep in Brooklyn in from 1977 to 1979. JOE AND MARY'S RESTAURANT on Knickerbocker was one of my stops. I went there on a Friday to inventory their cigarette machine close to lunch time. The following Monday , Galante was killed by persons unknown. I went out and got drunk and called in sick the next day. LIVING ON THE EDGE !!!!!

[@fasteddie9055]

I remember some Astoria Park teen age mafiosos setting a trap for the Son of Sam in the parking lot. They sat in the Astoria Park's ''lovers lane'' with their girl sexily dressed girl friends.There was a substantial reward and these young gangsters were smart operators. Burkowitz was real wise to never chose Astoria Park as a place to shoot couples. The young Astoria Park gangsters would have left him looking like Swiss cheese.

[@KD_SWAGGER]

The Bronx was burning in the 1970s for sure.

[@johnp9020]

lol some things will never change…or should I say some people

[@fredklein3829]

The year on the Lufthansa heist shows December 11, 2978 -- some 1000 years in the future.

[@janetphillips2875]

It was Robert DeNiro

Growing up in the Bronx I remember all of these stories. Great video. I remember the talk about Gotti taking Galante out.

[@terucks]

man 70s in New York were no joke!!! Rappers and Lyricists were right! No wonder why they rhymed hard and truth about the environment they come from.

I live in Hell’s Kitchen. I don’t see none of this crap. lol

[@nickanderson7693]

It was definitely a BLACK out

[@HandsONreviews4u]

All of those stolen goods, where are they now?? In a land fill....🤣where are those arrested back then now?? Thankfully I was 11 years old when this was going on, and THANKS to not having access to social media I turned out to be a hard working American. Son of Sam is a Christian in Jail now.....Amazing. My first car was a 1975 Plymouth Fury. Good STRONG CAR, but every time it rained the carburetor choke would get stuck closed and I always had to shove a stick in there just to start my car.....true....

[@janetphillips2875]

It mustve been allergic to humidity

[@janetphillips2875]

Son of Sam needed an adjustment everyday, in a room with 5 Muhummad Ali's, and 5 Mike Tyson's, 5 George Foreman's using ol' SonofaSamboy for a sparring partner. No facial protection or gloves for Samboy. Then at night, make him listen to Hillary talk on a looped recording.
