100 vehicles involved in Oregon highway pileup in treacherous whiteout conditions

*** begin quote ***
A highway pileup involving 100 vehicles, including big rigs, grinded an Oregon highway to a destructive halt during a nasty whiteout snowstorm Thursday, according to authorities.
The series of crashes caused a SUV fire and closed a part of Interstate-84 where numerous drivers and passengers were trapped in their vehicles late morning, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said.
*** and ***
The conditions were so treacherous the Oregon Department of Transportation closed the highway in both directions between La Grande and Baker City – a stretch of roughly 50 miles between the two cities.
“Closures are due to blowing and drifting snow with visibility less than 500 feet,” the state DOT wrote before later reopening that section.

Lucky that no one was killed or seriously injured. First rule in survival training was “AWARENESS”.
Did these folks not realize the danger of the weather?
Visibility of less than 500 feet didn’t happen because the weather gods waved a magic wand. I’ve driven some costal roads, even in Oregon, and fog can be just around the next bend.
At 30 MPH, and 10 second reaction time, you’ve used up your 500 feet.
And, seriously who goes 30?
The other night was a passenger in car and all the drivers in the car thought 15 was fast. Yet we were being passed by drivers doing far in excess of 50. No way they could stop on an ice covered road. Even at 15, we could all feel the slip of the tires on gentle curves.
I guess I’m getting old. But, I think drivers in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee are all insane!
