@moments.in.time0: POV: London Disappears Into Yellow Smog, and Nobody Agrees Who Should Pay to Fix It (1952) In December 1952, a thick smog sat over London for about five days. Cold, still air trapped smoke from coal fires in homes and factories close to the ground, and in places people could barely see a few metres ahead. Some buses were guided through the streets by conductors walking in front with torches. Around 4,000 more people died than usual in the immediate weeks, and later estimates are higher. Coal was the main way homes stayed warm. The Clean Air Act came four years later, in 1956. Made with @dreamina_ai #dreamina #dreaminacreators #dreaminacpp #london #History
