Snow-Sucks: Icy car-crashes in Portland

Wednesday, January 17, 2007 | 5 comments » Categories | | Bookmark and Share


The people of Portland were unfortunate to experience the wrath of winter and all that comes with it. No amount of salt could prevent the disaster that follows the dreaded “BLACK ICE”-especially the black ice covered by what seems to be an “innocent” and “pretty” thin blanket of snow. Combine that with a steep road and wrong use of the brake pedal and you have the perfect recipe for catastrophe. This reminds me of a scene from grand theft auto only this ain't no South Beach and the hookers would freeze their butts off in this weather! Posted by Dani

    King 5 is a Seattle station.
    Are you sure the video was recorded in Portland?

    The overhead wires are the lines for the electric buses. This is clearly Seattle.
