However, the video was later shown to having not been filmed recently in New York, it was possibly made in the Philippines, after social media users discovered the clip had been posted earlier in the summer.Even if rats naturally evolved to swim well to survive, the overwhelming waters would have proven too much for many, according to Corrigan.'I would guess hundreds of thousands died, easily,' he told Gothamist.
