The Big Apple is playing a sinking sensation! It's not that NYC has a secret desire to be Atlantis, but with its massive buildings and millions of people, it's putting a hefty load on the bedrock. You see, the city is sinking a bit each year due to the weight of all those iconic structures and bustling crowds. It's like the urban jungle is doing a slow dance with gravity. Don't worry; it's not an emergency exit situation, more like a geological balancing act that's part of the city's ever-evolving story. 🌆🏙️🌎 Credit: Flood barrier: Metropolitan Transportation Authority of the State of New York – https://flic.kr/p/TDzs8f, CC BY 2.0 – https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Water-filled_flood_barrier_demonstration_(33899432100).jpg Broadmoor: Karen Apricot – https://flic.kr/p/61vjzK, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Broadmoor_New_Orleans_5025_S_Prieur.jpg PumpingStation: Infrogmation, CC BY 2.5 – https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MetariePumpingStation6RiverSide.jpg CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/: Venice: grumpylumixuser, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:San_Marco,_30100_Venice,_Italy_-_panoramio_(826).jpg Mid-City Rising: Infrogmation of New Orleans, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mid-City_Rising.JPG GentillyRising: Infrogmation of New Orleans, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GentillyRising2009.JPG 跋山水库溢洪闸: WPTO, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%E8%B7%8B%E5%B1%B1%E6%B0%B4%E5%BA%93%E6%BA%A2%E6%B4%AA%E9%97%B8.jpg Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
