A satirical video montage begins with Jeremy Clarkson asking what happened to Detroit City, cuts to an angry reaction, then shows prosperous-looking mid-century Detroit streets and a lavish car exhibition. The narration pivots with “and now has collapsed” before ending on James May labeled “Hiroshima,” humorously comparing Detroit’s industrial decline to catastrophic destruction while dramatic music heightens the absurdity.

You do know you're mad. I don't know what I'm mad about. I'm mad at how about Detroit. Because in 1960, that was the richest city in America, the richest. And now it is the poorest. And no other city anywhere in the world has collapsed that quickly. What about Hiroshima?
