no - seriously - this guy lays it all out for you.....
it's obvious from the number of "smoke" columns, from the a/c looking "black" on the amateur video of it "crashing", and from all the passengers "calmly" taking their baggage off.....
I fast forwarded and watched about 1 minute of it scattered at various points - the reasons I spotted are the ones in the bottom line of my OP...... I didn't want to watch the rest lest I catch the stupid!
But on a happy note, thinking about 101 has me feeling grateful for being only about an hour away from the awesome scenery to be seen on that highway along the Pacific coast.
I grew up in San Jose, I now live in Georgia. It sucks here and you're making me miss home! 101 sucks, when there is traffic. Nothing like hwy 1.
