Stuck in Traffic for 9 Days

China's nine-day traffic jam stretches 100km - Yahoo! News

How is this even possible? 9 days?!

"Honey, I'll be home next week. I'm stuck in traffic"

I'll go out on a limb and guess that the trafic is moving but very slow and has been that way for 9 days. Its not like someone left for work 9 days ago and is still trying to get to the office.

62 miles. How would you react? When the GPS says no alternate route available, and has a big red never ending traffic line. Can you say road rage!!!! Also Every politician would be having someone's head in the Highway section.

This reminds me of my senior year of college when I used to skip class any time it was raining because I didn't want to walk two blocks to campus. I could have just driven, but that wasn't how I wanted to do things.

This renews my faith in the commie system of government being unable to adopt to the needs of its people, traffic jams indeed.

idk about that. i heard on news radio that they are moving at 1/3 a mile per DAY!

that officials are trying to get food, water and security there and that the village people are selling food, etcon side of road.

i think people have been stuck in their vehicles this whole time.

Yup, that's China for you. Awful traffic, awful roads, air that shouldn't be breathed, little concern for genuine law. The food is great, the economy is improving, but otherwise the place is a mess.
