Nice timing with New York city actually turning into a ghost town and all, but this would be pretty cool regardless. 

The Thrash Lab, a group of budding YouTube superstars, have made some waves with their cool time lapses of Seattle and San Francisco. Now, they've conquered  the crown jewel of the East Coast. 

After travelling across the Big Apple, they created this epic time lapse of America’s most grand metro of New York City with all forms of life simply deleted.

It’s a surreal scene to see the most populated metropolis completely empty, and has appropriately been published just as hurricane Sandy has started to shut down the entire East Coast.
