I agree with the comcast dude to be honest.

All of the cars that wrecked were doing better than 40

How is this any different than if someone was trying to turn into their home there? The same carnage would have ensued. Looks to me like idiots that don't understand adapting their driving habits to the road conditions.

Someone should take those guys, put a gun in their mouths, and throw them in the middle of the ocean.

frick Comcast. They're pure evil and ruin everyone's lives.

the video guy just sounded like a dick, i wouldn't want to listen to him either.

that said.. they probably should have put something at the top of the hill or even on the other side. How fast was that black pickup going?

What if there was a wreck after the hill instead of the Comcast workers? Exactly. Slow your arse down.

ETA: "Sir, you are blocking traffic" - wow those guys are total assholes

Worker should've replied with, "I'll set up cones sometime between 10am and 4pm"

Comcast should've set up a "lane closed ahead" sign at the top of the hill. I don't blame them for keeping their trucks there, though.

That was fun to watch. Had everything. Collisions, Jerk Employees and a whiny video guy.

according to the law they are suppose to provide notice 500 yards from the closure to warn traffic.

And the 1 cone per MPH is so stupid. It's less about cones and more about how far the cones are apart from each other

there's fricking school buses coming through. For them to ignore the increasing pile of cars is ignorant. They should have called in a flagman or something by the hill when the first car slid off the road because clearly conditions were too adverse for their bureaucratic 4 cones nonsense.

frick those guys

Or, ya know, people could've slowed down coming over a hill when it's fricking snowing.

Or not been driving faster than 40. There were plenty of vehicles that made it through fine. They have magic brakes?

People typically don't look further than their hoods when they drive. Which is why this stuff happens and why cops, tow truck drivers, EMTs, etc get hit on the side of the road.

People act like the biggest idiots when they get behind the wheel. It's uncanny the things you'll see at a road closure.
