[s-cars] OOOO in Denver

[jpb3wvu at frontiernet.net]

Yeah, I just saw it on the news this morning as well.  28 car
pile up!!!  Thing is the Audi driver, (and everyone else) were
all locking up the brakes and plowing alongside the curb into
the cars ahead!  Not one car was applying power while trying to
turn out of the way, it was all brakes :( I don't know how your
suppposed to turn on ice under locked brakes.   I saw the Audi
sliding along and was waiting for the guy to start spinning the
tires but he simply locked the brakes up and plowed ahead.  I
didn't see anyone turn into the curb either!  The funniest thing
was that some people were jumping out of their cars and trying to
stop them with their feet!!!!!  LOL Are you kidding me???  I
would understand if this was in Florida or something but I
expected more winter weather skills from the CO drivers!

I'm glad no one was hurt, that's why I can find the humor in it I
suppose.
