NYC Engulfed By Smoke

by | 8 June 2023

It used to be London that was called the Big Smoke, but now it’s New York.  The terrible forest fires burning on the East Coast have made it the most polluted city on the planet, topping New Delhi according to IQ Air’s ranking.

Here are some of the crazy films and pictures from across the city over the last few days.
