That is actually quite scary. I'd love to do something similar for Ireland...

I hope we get to see a similar video as unemployment reverses itself.

Yikes! That's informative yet terrifying. I think you could see when the automakers ran into a big trouble since the area around Michigan suddenly got really dark.
