This is a video shot from the front of a trolley car in Bacelona, Spain in 1908.
The high probability is that every single person you see in the below video are now long dead.
Here is what some of the people went through after this was shot:
1901 and 1902 General strikes in the city
1909 Riots in the city; buildings destroyed by anarchists
1931 Left-wing coalition forcibly exiles King Alfonso XIII
1936 Beginning of Spanish Civil War
1960 Massive influx of workers from the impoverished countryside
1977 Catalonia recovers some self-government under the Estatut de Autonomia
1992 Olympic Games held in Barcelona
Well... it was nice of them to spend a little time before all that, to run out in front of a trolley car and act silly...
