wow, thats insane.... ive seen some bad wrecks in my day too, i do a LOT of driving in the Chicago area and i see at least an accident a day on average i would say.... but that one is particularly nasty, my thoughts go out to the people stuck in it all....
2 years ago, I was in Chicago for a car show (going again in 2 weeks for this years) and every time I was out of the hotel, or on route to some place, I had the misfortune of seeing a car accident happen.
#1 Honda Prelude racing a Civic in Chinatown, T-Boned a Corvette, (nobody was seriously injured)
#2 on the way home from Chinatown, Lexus GS-400 Ripping through traffic lost control and took out 3 cars. 1 person was seriously injured (no seatbelt) and was rushed away
#3 Jeep ran a red light, T-boned a small ford (escort?) no serious injury.
#4 at the car show, someone started their car in gear, and drove it off a retaining wall into a wood chipped Tree bed (Oakton Community college)
Thankfully nobody I know was in any accident, or involved in them.
Back on topic, I have never (and hopefully will not) seen an accident like that. My prayers go out to those personally effected by that tragic event!
