I have lived in Hampton Roads for 15 years, and tunnel problems are a way of life. The combination of the HRBT failure, power lines down at the JRB, the crash at the MMBT and the holiday weekend made for a spectacular mess, but all that really happened was a lot of people didn't get where they were going when they wanted to get there. I like the crop on the photo, but it was a little too generic. Weren't there any photos that revealed the cars were in Hampton Roads? As it is, that photo could have been taken in Norfolk -- or Washington -- or Chicago -- or Los Angeles ... I also would have liked to have seen at least one angry driver on the front page.
