Atlantic City may never recover.
The images are haunting.
Brian Rose has documented what remains of the City in the aftermath of the casino explosion.
And so it came to be.
He would do for America what he had done for Atlantic City, he said.
On the presidential campaign trail Trump boasted of his \'success\' in Atlantic City, how he had outwitted Wall Street and leveraged his own name for riches.
Chief among the villains in this piece is Donald J Trump, who built his casinos on dunes of debt and bled them into bankruptcy.
And instead of reviving the City they killed it.
And then, as it began to fade, the casinos came.
Its hotels were the largest and finest, its nightclubs legendary, its boardwalk an endless promenade.
It was \'the World\'s Playground\'.
