Agreed. The images had an effect on me similar to the film, GANGS OF NEW YORK. I'm GLAD those two pieces of the past are dead and gone ! I would NOT want to relive them ! Similarly, a friend's reaction to the film "Jurassic Park" was being glad that velociraptors are now extinct.

It takes some effort to realize now that those graffiti-covered cars were the "norm" for years. I would forget how oppressive it was until I took a trip outside of NYC by car or commuter RR, and felt the heaviness lift.
