✎ Suggest a correctionThis 1936 silent newsreel documents the aftermath of the devastating Pittsburgh flood, showing both the extensive water damage and the cleanup efforts that followed. Footage includes visuals of high water levels, debris, and the extensive cleaning process involving numerous men with brooms working to restore the city. The film ends with a “The End” title card but intriguingly repeats the reel three additional times, extending its runtime.
