The 70 car pile up on I-4 in Fl, was due to a control burn that went out of control.?

Question

The division of forestry started the control burn,,,,,,,the news the night before said there was a fog advisory for the next morning, don't you think they can take most of the responsilbility

Answer 1

Along with the dense fog around. Just a bad situation all around!

Answer 2

It was a 50 car pile up.  No much better, but hey.  They had fog advisory signs out, but no one can say for sure whether or not the were lit.

Answer 3

Yes, I agree with you 100% concering this situation.

Answer 4

From what I understand it was a combination of the two that caused the low visibility.

Answer 5

Yes, I sure do.  In light of the fog advisory this should have been delayed.  They should take all of the responsibility.  Can you say lawsuit!

Answer 6

Unless the fire jumped in the middle of the road to committ suicide. I am not sure you can blame the fire.

Answer 7

I truly belive it was that first id-iot that slammed on their brakes because they couldn't see, instead of pulling off the Interstate in the first instance of blindness.

Answer 8

While the burn contributed to the visibility issue, I agree that the drivers were at fault as well.

Its obvious they didn't reduce their speed, or it would not have been a chain reaction.

Answer 9

I heard it was a combination of the fire and the fog that made visibility almost impossible.

Answer 10

I agree with you 100 percent....

and I don't know if you know this, but smoke from the burn and fog actually make the fog thicker (some kind of scientific explanation that the two somehow attach properties)...

I'm sure the lawsuits are going to be rolling (something like 3 or 4 killed and plenty of damage and injuries and 15 miles of backups)... WOW

Answer 11

i live in florid and past few days has been extremly foggy all times of day..When its liek this you cannot drive 90 miles per hour and run everyone over.People do not take precautions like they should and feel as though they are invincible.

No they are not to blame drivers are.

The fires do get bad and make things hard but why put yourself in that position take another route you are more comfortable with the back roads.

The fog has been worse though than the fire.
