You probably have seen the extreme smog in Beijing, so bad that you can observe it from space. But this shot freaked me out, just because it looks like a frame from Blade Runner. So awesome—if you don’t live there, that is. [Twitter]

When i was there a couple of years ago they insisted it was ‘harmless’ fog.
“Well shit, the world will see what our terrible environmental policy has wrought when they come in for the Olympics. Better clean it all up for a month then back to business.”
Anywhere else in the civilised world it would be horrifically illegal to subject your people to that.
Well, to be fair the leaders are also living in Beijing, and they have to go outdoor sometime.
Depends how you define the word civilised i guess. The city and the attitude of the people in it put me in mind of London during the industrial revolution. We thought we were the peak of civiliation back then.
It is harmless… until you breath it in.
yay progress!
that’s unreal I cannot believe it, this truly could be a scene from blade runner. the smog is unbelievable can you imagine living there ?
Depends what time of day this photo was taken…
