In the artical" 4 Dead in Fiery Highway Crash " the author main purpouse is to exsplain how easy a simple accident can change into a horrific tragic pileup due to small but powerful factors as simple as a heavy fog. On Wendnesday on Interstate 16 in Georgia over two dozen cars and trucks colided with each other causing a terrible mess. The crash killed four people and injured several more.
The crash was a " chain- reaction" that started with one car pulling to the curb and being hit from behing. "officals say that very poor visability " played a role in the crash . Dense fog and reported smoke crossing the road made responding to the surprise of the reck and stoping in time almost impossible.
" The crash shut down Interstate 16 for several hours" and caused traffic to back up for close to one hundred and seventy miles. This heavely traveld road is used to transport several tones of supplys to majior citys and delays may occur do to the short but tragic shut down.
" McGlamery says seven tractor trailors were involved in the pileup, including a empty fuel tanker." The truck compusted during the impact and caused a huge exsplosion causing even more confussion but the driver of the tanker did survive. Piecies of the tanker flew for several feet in all directions and almost hit a fellow American solider.
This remindes me of when I was living in Oklahoma and i saw a six car pileup and i saw several cars basically get ran over by larger vehicles. In a book im reading called Maximumn Ride they watched a tanker exsplode due to a gun shot from a helicopter. This is a very terrible event that killed four people and put nine in the hostpital but it happens every day in this crazy world we live in today.
