Great video. CORRECTION @ 3:00- Runoff to the east goes to the Great Lakes, to the west goes to the Mississippi.

Found you on TikTok and I’m very happy the first video I saw was Chicago. As a Chicago native I didn’t even know all of this I only heard about the stockyards

The really interesting thing is that once the locks were built, the river's flow can shift back and forth depending on your location. It's a really strange sensation when you're on the river (especially at the confluence downtown)

Great video! Seems I had heard a tale about this reversal, but never knew if it was real or not. Amazing!

This makes me excited to go to Chicago again this Thanksgiving even though I was there last year. That’s crazy.

Love your videos, so underrated! But did you get the water flow from the divide backwards?

Living down stream on the Illinois river I can tell you the river is nothing more than a sewage system.

I was a towboater on the Illinois Waterway. If someone fell in the water or got significantly wet they were immediately taken to the nearest health facility for shots.

Great video, thank you. Now, Chicago has to manually change the direction of the river when they get more rain than rhey can handle. A few days ago Chicago had to dump all their waste water back into Lake Michigan. They can poison the water in both directions. The Lake currents take every thing North along the North Shore (Evanston) into Wisconsin. Enjoy your beautiful sandy beaches folks.

Great documentary. I find it hard to believe that 12% died yearly from pollution. That would be over 1 million people in 10 years. Thanks

So nowadays you think they could just... dam it back up to its natural state? There isn't a pollution issue anymore, why case more ecological distress when you can just spend a couple years backfilling?

So, I wonder how St. Louis solved its problem after all the Chicago wasted floated down there.

Saint Louis? It affected every big and little river town from Missouri back to Chicago.
