Lake Shore Drive aftermath from Chicago blizzard 2011 HD

Lake Shore Drive in Chicago turns into a car graveyard the day after a massive blizzard brought 20+ inches of snow and 60+ mph winds. Motorists were stranded when the storm hit in the early evening of February 1, 2011. After some were stuck for hours, they abandoned their cars for safety. This was unreal, like a scene from a movie!

@varsityeagle89 hahaha!! ya she was talking to me..she told me like 20 times. a few minutes before this video she really did tell me i was subject to arrest if i didnt leave. there were tons of people walking and taking pictures though. i learned that if i walked next to the street she couldnt say anything. that cop was the most annoying part of the day. she was driving up and down the whole street yelling at people. she even yelled at some kids who were sledding on a giant snow drift

One of my first thoughts was if my car was left there I'd appreciate it if the police or someone would keep ppl away from my car and not vandalize it ya know?

Am I correct in thinking that there were no fatalities or serious injuries? I hope so.

I didn't even know about this until SSoHPKC (a Let's Player on YT) told me!

Was that cop stupid or retarded, or blind or all the above?
