Huge chain-reaction crash in UK involves at least 100 vehicles.

         “Video from the scene showed scores of abandoned cars and trucks, many crumpled from impacts with other vehicles. Motorists, some injured, sat on the roadside as they awaited help.” The fact that there was a pile-up in London involving at least one hundred vehicles is shocking. Makes me wonder how on Earth that could have happened. The bridge it happened was not accessible at all so many of the injured people were stuck in the heat waiting for help. I think this problem could have been solved possibly if everybody was paying more attention to the traffic. "All you could hear was cars crashing. We got out of our car and it was eerily quiet with visibility down to just 20 yards. Then you would hear the screeching of brakes and then a thud. It was all you could hear for about 10 minutes -- crash after crash after crash."

          I’m sure everyone who lived around the area was shocked by what was going on and what they were hearing. The crash sounds pretty severe but not a lot of the people involved in the pile up were severely injured as you would suspect.  At least the pile up didn't cause a lot of people to die or leave people severely injured. This article drew me in from the title and I’m glad I read it. Some of the comments on the post said that in the UK, they drive pretty badly and it doesn't surprise them. It doesn't surprise me either! That is so crazy to me that something like that would happen, or could happen. Hopefully this will teach drivers in London to be more cautious.

I’ll be overwhelmed if I find another article about a crash this big. This would be quite the sight to see, maybe it has happened around the U.S. too because too many times I've been on the interstate and the traffic would slow down to a stop for a long amount of time. I’m sure you know how I feel? I wonder if this is what big cities are like, maybe since I live in Iowa and it is pretty small that’s why I’m so shocked by this.  I feel like I’m rambling on and on about this whole event, but it’s quite an interesting thing to know. If I did my research I could find accidents this big in the U.S. maybe even bigger, who knows.
