Hotdog stand on fire completely ignored by New Yorkers

Hot dog stand engulfed in flames fails to faze New Yorkers

A hot dog stand engulfed by a raging fire goes completely ignored by New Yorkers moving past it.

The video shows a hot dog stand, essentially in the middle of the road, being consumed by a significant blaze.

Cars are seen casually driving around it, while other pedestrians keep walking past the flame.

It almost appears as if people didn't even slightly notice, or even acknowledge the blaze, which eventually destroyed the fast-food cart.

One person is seen next to the burning cart on the phone, hopefully calling the fire department.

The footage was filmed on July 17, in Manhattan's Midtown East.
