Strange places sounds interesting to me
strange places
My family was living in nearby Riceville TN on the day of the accident. My mother commuted on I-75 S every morning to Cleveland. She told me that day, if she had been a minute late leaving the house that morning, she would have died in the wrecks. She was shocked when news came in about the crashes when she was at work that day.
Your ‘dodgy cartoons’ are easily 10x better than anything I can produce, and they are one of the reasons I keep coming back.
Just how fast you would suddenly be in super dense fog from perfect visibility in this area could not be overstated! Tennessee also continued to improve the safety of this area over the years with rumble strips, reflective bumps, extra wide painted shoulders, automatic gates to close off entrance ramps and better pre warning systems. Bottom line is the area is simply a very risky, damp, high altitude place to travel and it only takes 1 stupid driver to bring down 100 responsible drivers
A better metaphor for the Boomers after fall of USSR I cannot imagine. Hurtling through the fog at top speed in vehicles that have poor safety features on roads built when they were children. The fates, sufficiently tempted, spell out the damage in crimson letters on the blacktop. "Slow down you fools! Look around! They all had the same goal! They all used the same tools! Yet their failure is written here. People with common cause but without common purpose, and without purpose a human is as replaceable as a semi trailer or late model sedan."
We're left with the footage
Can you do the m5 fog crash from 2011? I was driving on the m5 that night to watch Bridgwater carnival it was horrendous
Oh strange places is a personal favorite.
If you get a chance, could you take a look into project rulison? They tried fracking with nukes lol.
Just keep with the disasters. It's what made your channel so popular. If I wanted to watch about deserted places or other such things, I'd watch Mr Ballen.
Strange places would be interesting. And please select places that are strange. Thank you in advance.
Evidence people are stupid these days. If you can't see whats ahead of you, why drive fast and if you do and have an accident sue the government for not putting up warning signs to indicate you can't see whats ahead of you. and then the government pays out to these idiots instead of fining them a stupid tax.
Americans will do anything except slow their cars down on the highway. Most entitled drivers out there
I always thought the 55mph restriction left from oil crisis made pike ups likely. Look at the California 1950 freeway videos and everyone is tailgating. A spike on the steering wheel over the heart would eventually get used to. Humans hah. Kids doing extreme sports vestigial risk thrill from need to catch mammoths?
Yeah the fog in that stretch of 75 in Tennessee is really bad I'm coming through as several times in a truck hand in a car it is terrifying and it could even worse if you go up the mountain
I would love "Strange Places"
people like us who come to your channel have a little or a lot of morbid curiosity, but I think articles about places
Thanks!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! You have been creating superb content since day one. I hate to only acknowledge this now, but I am so I happy for you! EVERY VIDEO is something special so every day you publish a video should be celebrated (especially when they're over an hour long XD).
Anyway, have a great day John, and please do something nice for the 200th besides just a latte. LOL
Congrats! I remembert this happening as it happened just up the road from Chattanooga TN. Man it was a mess
Strange places
Well, we came to see hazmat suit guy, we haven't seen him in a while and miss him now.
Started casually listening while getting ready for bed. Then realize this happened about 20 miles from my childhood home. I’ve driven through that section many many times and never knew about this accident. Must have been so scary!
200 episoes!
Interesting places from the archives please. I've been through this section of I-75 many many times. The road stripes are reflective and the road condition is pristine. Super cool to see something reviewed that I've experienced.
What a stupid lawsuit…… sue the government for putting a road there
Chickamaugua lived up to its name that day outside the battle of the same name.
you should do both strange places and interesting people in my opinion! both would be great to watch considering the amount of care that's clearly put into these videos, especially talking a bit more in-depth about some of the people involved with previously covered disasters or just somewhere that's strange/interesting that's worth discussing despite its lack of disastrous events (though I will still forever love the disaster videos you do. absolutely excellent videos indeed!)
Try to find info about the catacombs and tunnels below belgrade, i heard soldiers would go in there armed with knives and kill anything that moves, in total darkness.
This is like driving in traffic through Salt Lake City. There is never just one fender bender

Jeez only in the obese states of America 🔮
1:53 we just gonna ignore that he just forgot Lake Ontario
dude makes the best docs about meaningful historical event
"im surprised that you all keep coming back every weeks"
Chick-a-moo-ga Dam, lol. Loved to hear your English accent mispronouncing that word. Love your videos & have been catching up since binge-watching a while back. Keep up the good work.
Why wouldn't you pull over if you can't see?!
I remember watching a forensic files episode about this incident! It’s still crazy seeing the footage of the aftermath
Bowater is unfortunately still notorious in the local history of Tennessee, even though there is no scientific evidence that they were in any way responsible for the creation of fog in the area. But people need someone to blame, and suing Bowater was more likely to yield results than suing the state. McMinn County is very poor, with a median household income of $37,146 as of 2010. Death and injury incur costs that would devastate the families.
That said, people in Tennessee are perfectly aware of how treacherous the highways can be, especially through the mountains, and driving in thick fog is just foolish.
Strange places please!
