123 YEAR OLD FOOTAGE OF THE MOVING SIDEWALKS AT THE PARIS WORLD'S FAIR

The 1900 exposition stretched 543 acres along the Seine river and was the largest in history. The electric moving sidewalk was built upon an 23ft elevated viaduct made of iron. It consisted of a half mile loop comprised or three sections.

One section was stationary while the other two sections moved at 3mph and 6mph and could accommodate 14,000 people at one time. On its busiest day it carried 70,000 people in one afternoon.

The iron foundations of the electric sidewalk were the same as the Eiffel Tower and would probably still be standing today had it not been destroyed.

The Eiffel Tower was also supposed to be destroyed. Why would they destroy such amazing things and why is it the same story all over the world? What are they hiding?
