It's simply a textbook example of bad road conditions, an unprepared road crew and millions of people trying to get home at the same time. Remember the disaster on Lake Drive in Chicago a few years ago? Same schit.
I can tell which people on this thread have never lived in a city...north or south.
Yep. And Atlanta traffic is horrible on a good day in good weather! Add ice, then it only takes one or two knuckleheads and, wham, you have gridlock. Getting stuck in a traffic jam through no fault of your own doesn't make one an idiot. In ice I wouldn't drive across those raised viaduct roadways at the I85/I285 interchanges in my 4WD if I were the only one out there! I don't even want to think about it in "normal" traffic! Thank goodness I don't live there. But I take a twice annual trip to Atlanta for business and have for over 15 years. I HATE driving in Atlanta. Wouldn't live there for love nor money...but I don't fault those who do nor condemn them all to the stupid camp because the city is ill-equipped to handle ice and snow.
