That was in Portland, Oregon last winter in our west hills. From the angle you can't tell how steep the hills are. It had a lot of TV coverage because it just went on and on.

wow!! that's a crazy video, I have driven in snow before and thats one thing that I always hate. If you hit a patch of ice and panic then you can pretty much play bumper cars until you come to a stop.

Yeah i think that first car is RETARDED like why did it rev so much..it should have just drifted into a bumper and done. BTW i hope that fire truck didn't slide either lol. And its pointless that people didn't block the road there, like people just went down one by one.. lol

I think maybe the driver of the first car got knocked out already after the first or second hit, thus foot stuck on the throttle, I mean, who wouldn't've braked for the wall?
Well, at least I hope that's the case...

I dont know how those people could have possibly felt safe enough to get out of their cars and walk around with all that happening... haha Interesting no less.
