The Great Smog of London made visibility so poor that some pedestrians could not see their own feet. Transportation was severely restricted except for the Underground, and ambulance services struggled, forcing many people to make their own way to hospitals. Some drivers even abandoned their cars in the road. In addition, indoor plays and concerts were canceled because audiences could not see the stage, while crime on the streets increased. The smog also caused a rise in hospitalizations and deaths connected to pneumonia and bronchitis.
