More of the video has loaded and I would presume this occurred on a hilly street.

I can' believe that after the first car slid and smashed into all those cars, that people would even CONTEMPLATE trying to drive their own cars!

What did they think was going to happen??

That is just crazy

It's been on the news here several times lately. Ice and cars just do not mix well

Oh that is awful! I just showed DH. If it gets like that.....I'll let DH pull the cars forward into the yard, and then I'm staying put and so is he!

Referring to the first video. I know exactly why everything happened as it did.

Everyone got caught with their pants down! The forecasters said that there was going to be a light "dusting" of snow and it wouldn't stick.

So everyone went to work, or their normal business thinking that.

A couple inches later and everyone who left their homes in the wee hour of the morning got screwed.

I also know the location to where this incident happened and its a really busy area. Plus it's by the west hills, hills being the key word. So every turn in the area there is going to be a slope. No matter where ya go.

Of course I didn't leave my house. I didn't have to work that day. lol.

I remember around 2000 I think in Massachusetts we had the first snow squal of the season. It was one of those times where not much was on the road but looks were deceiving. I was going down a hill, and saw cars everywhere off the side of the road. I barely touched my brakes and started doing 360's down the hill. I eventually stopped, but had to get out of the way quick because other cars were coming over the hill. I needed a change of pants that day

That's what I was thinking...Where is that you need to be that's so important.

Am I the only one that was laughing though???

I mean, I know its horrible and stuff, and I've driven on icy roads before. However I almost felt like it was staged...

I forgot to add. What I was suprised about the first video is that they didn't show the car crashing into the fire truck that showed up. That was the finale.
