hello I'm Simon Whistler you're watching top 10s and in the video today we're looking at the top 10 horrifying cities to live in there aren't many great cities out there to live in but there are also some that you would rather stay away from some they're pretty obvious they're known for having high levels of homicide or perhaps less than great water quality however there are some cities out there that are so bad at certain things that they would be absolutely horrific and almost impossible for most people to stand living in and hear - despite the everyday horrors some people manage to live in these cities their entire lives and find a measure of enjoyment in the world around them please note that some of the entries that we're including in this video do include a disturbing subject matter so you've been warned number 10 Cleveland Ohio has a large concentration of serial killers for a city of its size Cleveland Ohio is a hotspot for serial killers in the USA and may possibly be the most terrifying city in the United States in fact while no one seems to have managed to pinpoint any particular reason why evidence seems to point to Cleveland Ohio practically being the serial killer capital of the world among others Cleveland has played host to the infamous kidnapper Ariel Castro recent serial killers Anthony sorrel and Michael Madison and killers evolved like Jeffrey Dahmer ins the Cleveland torso murderer and that's for a fun fact here the lead investigator on that case was none other than Eliot Ness himself somehow Cleveland manages to regularly churn out horrific killers some of these people have been known for dismembering victims and hiding body parts around their property while others like Castro were more known for just torturing their live victims some of the killers have said that they were inspired by killers of the past but it is still curious that such a large concentration has built up in one area unfortunately the most likely explanation is that Cleveland is a fairly large city that manages to still be somewhat isolated and is also economically depressed these are generally factors that lead to an area having an unsafe heir number 9 do buyers but tourists in prison for reporting rapes that occurred while visiting Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates and their laws are known for being very traditional and very draconian they are most strict when it comes to laws about women and laws about sex as there strict interpretation of religious law demands this has put some foreigners in hot water when visiting the supposedly luxury city of Dubai and finding that there was very little real protection for them within the law as a woman to difference high-profile cases have emerged where a woman who was visiting Dubai from a country in Europe was raped reported it and was arrested herself for her crimes the issue is that whether you say you are raped or not extramarital sex is illegal in the UAE so the women in both of these situations found themselves jailed with the police telling them that they needed to learn the law before coming duty by the first woman was from Norway and she was actually released after an international outcry although she was originally first sentenced to 16 months in prison for the crime of being raped another woman from the UK was raped by two British men while visiting and upon reporting in to the police was held and threatened with jail time with proper international pressure she will likely see release but the fact that the laws on the books are to jail women for reporting a sexual assaults is just insane to judge someone is committing a crime when someone forced them to do an act against their will makes no sense whatsoever number eight South Africa's largest city Johannesburg has a serious issue with AIDS and baby rape look you just heard the title to this entry so don't say we didn't warn you this entry has some pretty nasty stuff in it South Africa has a problem with rape and has had one for some time which has unfortunately also led to an increasing spread of AIDS in South Africa this is especially apparent in Johannesburg where the FIFA World Cup was held not so long ago and there were actually many concerns about athletes and all the people who came with them being potentially raped however what went somewhat under the radar in those days is that a big part of the problem is actually child rape and sometimes even that of infants the problem is that once aids started to become a problem people would still go to traditional healers for advice many of whom would tell them ridiculous things like having sex with a virgin would cure their illness this means many men have gone to increasing lengths to try to cure their AIDS sometimes raping young children and in rare cases even babies who are a few months old this is also led aids to proliferate even worse in South Africa and in Johannesburg specifically because the quickest way to spread it further this for though in fact if you have sex with virgins unfortunately it also looks like the issue isn't going to go away anytime soon number seven being a street kid in Rio de Janeiro is a matter of life and death recently Rio de Janeiro hosted the Olympic Games and they did everything they could to hide the fact that their city is a total shambles baths they failed pretty badly on this point their reputation is as a city where constant thievery is the rule of the day and you can never stop paying attention or your phone will be ripped from your hands this image has been well cemented in people's minds however while people think about all the crime what they often don't think about is how many crimes against humanity the government of Brazil commits on a regular basis to clean up the strengths and committed especially for the Olympic Games the issue is that most of the people doing the stealing are homeless children kids as young as seven are commonly seen on the roadways begging for change and stealing what they need in order to survive many consider them a public menace of course but these are little children with no guidance many of whom are just trying to eat those who do become addicted to drugs do so to cope because they aren't just little kids you have no home and to no ones care for them there have been many reports that in order to clean up the streets the police have rounded up large amounts of them and put them in very inhumane prisons for no real crimes at all there are also UN suspicions and reports there suggests the police in some areas are being directed to quietly clean up the problem and simply kill many of the homeless children it's hard to confirm as the government would not want to admit to this openly but the Brazilian police are known for committing an incredible amount of homicides every year the reality is that living on the streets of Rio would be horribly grim and even visiting would likely not be a fun time number 6 Fukushima Japan has been overrun by radioactive wild boars and citizens not scared we all know about the tragedy that happened at Fukushima but what many people are not aware of is that the tragedy is far from over the damaged reactor it's still causing issues and is not fully under control it could keep releasing contamination for many years to come however even worse for the former citizens of Fukushima is that they may never be able to get their lives back at least for now the Japanese government believes that they have things contained and they believe the radiation levels in for Shema are starting to drop they want to start lifting the evacuation order and allowing people to return to their homes this is about six years after the disaster happens however the truth is that at this point it may actually be too late even if the citizens are worried about radiation levels being too high the forest has started to reclaim the city huge growth as crepes in ants many houses they're basically ruins with forests growing into and through them to make matters scarier many citizens are worried because wild boars have thrived in the radiation and made the ruins of Fukushima their home these creatures are normally more skittish but the radiation seems to have made them more unafraid and this could make them much more dangerous and aggressive to make things worse there are some conflicting studies that suggest the disaster could have caused radiation issues in the thyroids of many of the children who lived in Fukushima although some argue that this may have been a pre-existing issue either way the truth is that Fukushima and its people have been altered forever and the city may never return to the way it was again number 5 London Ontario had a curiously high percentage of serial killers per capita from the years of 1959 in 1984 the small town of London Ontario had the highest concentration of serial killers in the world and we don't just mean per capita we mean as far as recorded no one has found such a high percentage of serial killers within one city in any given time period during the period where the city was gripped in the hands of so many murderers there were twenty nine murders attributed to serial killers and only 13 of them were ever solved the 13 solved ones were attributed to three particularly vile serial killers a detective named Dennis Alsop who was working on the cases kept copious notes in his diary which have been theorized over very minutely peer-reviewed studies of these entries done at the University of Western Ontario have suggested that the unsolved murders could have been done by as many as four killers with similar methods all working at the same time however they have concluded that even if it was only one the city still would have a higher percentage of serial killers than anywhere else in the world this activity seems to have disappeared suggesting all those involved are either dead or arrested and haven't bothered to pass on their evil to any new generations however there is still a strange question that may never be answered why did a small unassuming town in Canada play host to so many vicious killers number four residents of Pyongyang are treated to creepy synth music every morning of every day everyone knows that North Korea is a dictatorship with incredibly draconian and obnoxious rules they have made it clear that even their most privileged citizens who perfectly tow the party line still have to live with dystopian nonsense that most of us would cringe at for starters they have to keep pictures of the Dear Leader's have passed and present in their houses and they can never turn their backs on them this of course is the same rule required for any pictures of them in public places however for some reason North Korea also decided that the people needed to be reminded every morning that one of their dearly departed leaders who they are taught is a god enjoyed writing opera music every morning in Pyongyang citizens are woken up to an eerie synth music version of the soul where are you dear general which is from an opera written by the late Kim Jong Il while the normal version doesn't sound particularly bad or the synthetic version played over the loudspeakers comes across as incredibly eerie like something straight out of a really terrifying horror movie set in an alternate reality or future on top of all of the weird music citizens of Pyongyang get to hear propaganda blasted out of the loudspeaker bull day as well just in case the message wasn't getting across number three the Mexican city of a cat a park is a horrifying place where women go missing all the time the city of Mecca Tepeyac is in the state of Mexico within the country of Mexico in this city it is perfectly normal to hear regular alerts for armed robbery in the area and in recent times the Interior Secretary of the entire country has put out alerts specifically warning people about the city when Pope Francis came to visit Mexico this was one of his first stops because he wanted to see how bad it was up close it is described as being a filthy and disgusting City where the citizens just seemed to have given up on us however the most terrifying thing about this city is that it has the highest rate of disappearances and murders of young women anywhere in Mexico mothers have gone to the police about their daughters disappearing and never gotten any satisfactory answers some have told them that they fished them out of a canal without offering anything in the way of real material evidence for many there are signs up all over the city with pictures hoping that they can be reunited some have had cartel members contact them for ransom and hung up when it became clear they couldn't afford a significant amount of money many are afraid of the worst that if they cannot afford to pay a ransom that their daughter will be killed or sold into slavery many wish to leave the city and its horrors behind but most who live there are very poor and do not have the means to move elsewhere they must endure the horror every day of their lives number two on it shot the Nigerian city with the worst air pollution in the entire world when most people are asked about the most polluted cities in the world they would probably name somewhere in China or perhaps India however the truth is that Nigeria is actually one of the fastest expanding countries in the world and is going all-in on industry what this means is often massive pollution and for the city of on it sure things are about as bad as they can get the city of inertia has literally by far the worst air quality in the entire world dust particles both fine and large are simply everywhere and practically unavoidable the sanitation efforts in the city are practically non-existent as piles of garbage are all over the place the main reason for the pollution is that on it shower like many areas in Nigeria is rapidly expanding in terms of industry this city in particular is doing some of almost every industry you can imagine if you combine that with poor government controls you have a city where air quality has gone completely awful and it's probably going to be that way for many generations to come however the people who live there they really don't seem to care perhaps they simply have grown up adjusting to us and don't know anything else but when interviewed by The Guardian most citizens living in the city don't see it as a problem at all however while they may not think it is a problem or at least not one they noticed daily there is more than enough reason do you believe that it's causing a great many premature deaths it is interesting to see though how much human beings can adjust you for those who've always lived there they're usually pretty surprised to find out that it's the city with the worst air quality in the world number one Mumbai in India is struggling to deal with massive garbage management issues Mumbai India is buried in a mountain of its own garbage and the government of India is desperately searching for a way out the problem is so vast that every day hundreds of garbage trucks line up to add more to the main landfill some have suggested simply creating more landfills but many are worried that this does not solve the real problem this is mainly because in Mumbai and much of India there is no assess at all in terms of actually doing anything with garbage nothing that could be recycled or composted is properly processed and there isn't anything that they can do anywhere near the city instead and nearly everything is just constantly loaded into trucks and dumped into junkyards because the trash problem has gotten so bad some have taken to littering the streets with trash as well and some have tried to burn their own garbage which worsens the air pollution problem experts are worried that if all that comes about from the crisis is another landfill or two the problem will only get worse over time instead of better they believe that with India's rapid industrialization the only solution is to create processing centers and habits to reduce the amount of overall waste being dumped to begin with with the right change of habits and the right infrastructure even such a rapidly growing country and city could theoretically get their garbage problem under control so I really hope you found that video interesting if a little bit depressing if you did like it please do hit that thumbs up button below and
