What happened to detroit?

Detroit was once a city with skyscrapers and one of the fastest growing states in America. It was the envy of america but now, the city is in ruins.

-120 square kilometers of the city are vacant, an area larger than than city of Vancouver.
-22% unemployment.
-Homes selling for $1.
-Median home price is $6000 and falling.
-Wild animals are moving back into the city... pheasants, coyotes, even beavers.

It is scary to think that a city can just become a ghost town. Watch the following video to see it for yourself:
