Images of Manhattan which we’ve seen
a thousand times before. But there is
one significant difference: the city’s canyons
are devoid of people, the subway
is deserted, as is Grand Central Station,
not a soul to be found on Brooklyn
Bridge … Finally, we come upon a lonely
soul sitting in a huge coffee shop. The
reason for this is not some foregoing
nuclear disaster but a simple fact illustrated
by National Geographic Channel
to promote their programs: “If Manhattan
had the population density of
Alaska, only 25 people would live here.”
