What City is really "HELL ON EARTH"?
I am a strong believer in reincarnation. People that had it great in one life and blew it by being a terrible person- will be reborn in a terrible life in a city that is truly "HELL ON EARTH".
I read about how terrible many places are on this planet, but the true story about it is usually hidden behind political correctness.
I suspect that the travelers on Flyertalk have been to some terrible places and have some great stories to tell.
To start things off my vote goes to Lagos (in Africa).

Here in Norway there is a town called Hell!!!
So if you come to Norway, they will understand if you ask for a train ticket to Hell.

If you're thinking HELL!! violence, death, disease wise...take a visit to Rio de Janeiro's favelas. (Usually with 1km of wherever you are in the nice parts of Rio)

Sadly, there are lots of hellish neighborhoods in cities all over the US. You know the parts I'm talking about.

So many Hells. so little time
Anywhere in southern Alabama comes to mind.
Then there is Elizabeth, NJ - home to more burned-out warehouses than anywhere else in America.
Armento, WY - home of America's finest sheep rodeo.
Mianyiang, China - home to the world's most virulent strain of dysentery. And several samller towns in the area where rope is used for toilet paper.

Hell is where no airplanes can land for six months of the year
Where the geese have all disappeared far to the north
Where water is sucked down the drain the opposite direction,
that is if there is any water to be found
Where the few that live there tire of darkness that goes on and on
Where it is too cold even for penguins
The South Pole - where such beauty is protected by the hellish environment

I think we did this thread recently - perhaps in OMNI.
It started out with people piling on (mostly in an uninformed way) Houston, Detroit, Cleveland, and a few other usual suspects. By page five, we had pretty much trash-talked every city in the world, including Tokyo, San Francisco, Paris, London, and others.
Maybe we can get a link to that thread so we don't have to do it all over. Otherwise, I'll have to throw up all over Schaumburg, IL again.
