I saw this yesterday. I really can’t imagine how it’s possible to be stuck in traffic for 9 days. I feel like if it happened in the US it’d be equivalent to the apocalypse.
Epic Traffic Jam in China Enters Its 9th Day - TIME NewsFeed
Nothing is worse than sitting in traffic, right? How about sitting in traffic for nine days?
A 100-kilometer-long traffic jam in China’s Heibei Province has left thousands of truck drivers stuck on the interstate heading towards Beijing since August 14. What’s worse, officials are saying that the jam could continue for up to a month!
The original jam was caused by roadside construction work, but has been made worse by minor car accidents and breakdowns.
This makes me thankful I don’t live in a country of 1.3 billion people, with a rapidly growing number of cars. Though it also makes me wish we were doing a better/faster job of expanding mass transit options here in the USA.
