euch gehört eine hymne !!

Great job to all law enforcement and others who aided in this .

Start taking drivers licenses away. You'll save lives

I'm ready to train coach!

Keep your car stocked up for winter emergencies. You may be stuck for hours without enough gas to keep warm.

considering how many cars and people were involved and the severity. 1 is too many, but extremely fortunate more weren't killed

Damn. Just. Wow.

The first responders may have been able to prevent more injuries if they would have put their hazards and lights on. Stay safe

one fatality man i hate snow because of this reason is why

Awesome video!!!❤

This is so sad .... I wish no one would speed . 😭😭

OMG How frightening and sad. Thank goodness for all the helpers, assistants, and such.

I'll never understand why women scream. What good does it do? Yet they all do it. Must be something in the genes.

I am RUclips binging as I sit in isolation and as much as I realized it before, now watching this, and with all that is going on in the world today - FIRST RESPONDERS are selfless and genuine human beings and I thank any and all FIRST RESPONDERS (then and now) for your selfless duties towards and for others... THANK YOU... Stay safe people!!! <3

whining on the phone instead of taking action: "HELP US, PLEEEASE...!!!"...that's the new american way. lol. how about getting the blinkers going and getting out of the impact zone ASAP instead?...or better yet, how about slowing down LONG BEFORE any of this happened? nope.

U shouldn't rely on first responder if not injured prepared people could have done more than video tape and stand around u travel roadways knowing things can happen be prepared for anything and everything cautious and aware so mabey u can save a life just remember the first responder should be the first able body there more people should be not only willing but waiting for chance to help anyone in need so carry flares blankets food be prepared rip to all that was affected but use it as a learning experience u can save a life including ur own

Let’s just take a second to thank the first responders to help the people in major need

I always thought Americans were untouchable damm no just remembered thats only outside of america😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great job of the production of this. I also love the tribute at the end.

I think there should be a policy put in place that requires any emergency vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances, and police, to have there emergency lights on when they drive on to the freeway when roads start to become slick or snow fall start to reduce visibility by a certain percentage as like a pile up prevention, even if there not responding to an emergency.

God Bless you all, I drove a 18 wheel truck over the road for 16 years, and thank the Lord, I never saw one of these however in 2008 I believe it was, I was traveling East on I-70, about 45 minutes in the Colorado line, at 4 am we passed several signs overhead stating "Winter Driving Conditions", it was not snowing, the roads were clear, however as they do, and soon to find out there were several spots of black ice, I was the first truck, I had two cars behind me, one more truck behind them, and one more car then one more truck. There were no plows or salt trucks to be seen at all not through out the rest of the night, or even prior to the entrance of Colorado, we were traveling I will say between 60 and 70 miles an hour, when I came up on a car in front of me, he must have been going 20 miles an hour, I moved to the left lane and passed by them, I came back over to the right after some distance, when I realized we were definitely on black ice at that time, when I moved back over the tractor came over but the trailer did not, at this point my truck and trailer were parallel with each other, stretched across both left and right lanes, the only thing that I could think at the moment was, was I going to slide off the right side of the road or the left, I removed my foot from the fuel and attempted to bring the trailer back behind the truck, I just let it slide without braking or steering, finally in decreased speed, I got down to about 25 miles an hour and the trailer finally came over to the right side of the road, and I was straight again, I then pulled to the side of the road, as I had both my kids in the truck with me at the time. I collected myself and took notice of my surroundings, I found myself out there with not another soul around, all those folks that were behind me, were no longer anywhere to be seen. I called dispatch, as I was only about 45 mins from my delivery, dispatch told them what had happened and immediately he let me know that they wanted me off the road and that they would reschedule. This was fine but where was I going to go, if I tried the off or on ramps I would surely slide off them, I knew there was a rest area only 9 miles up the road, but at now 5 am, I was not going to find a parking spot, so I figured I would just go ahead and creep along until I found a safe spot to pull far enough off the road without fear of being smashed into. I released my brakes then noticed the center lines started passing me, hell, I was sliding backward now, with having only 27000 lbs on the trailer, I was pretty light, and this was not going to end well if I didn't counter act. So I stomped on the fuel, we bounced and swerved a bit, but the truck started rolling, I got back onto the interstate and drove for probably 5 miles when I noticed another truck parked on the on ramp as I drove by, so at the end of the ramp, I pulled over to the shoulder and then backed the truck about half way back up the ramp, and we stayed there for the night. The next morning we got up and traffic was moving, plows of salt were all out then, I went to the closest truck stop and stopped to get the kids and I breakfast, and to fuel up the truck and trailer, when I noticed a tow truck, out of spite, as the driver happen to be walking in at the same time we were, I said to him, I bet you were busy last night, he said back to me, Ahh I got stuck behind that big pile up and they just opened it back up about 45 mins ago, I said what pile up, he said the one about 20 miles back coming east, OMG, I then realized that accident happened right behind me, and I mean right behind me, come to find out the car that was going 20sh or so, and the car that was right behind me, met somewhere together, it in turn took out the rest of the group, and proceeded to claim 21 more trucks and cars that night. I heard nothing about injuries or deaths, but I also remember we were going between 60 and 70 when that accident happened, I was the only one to come out of it without damage. I never told that story before now, and watching these videos, really makes me shed a tear, because it would have been very easy for this incident to turn out differently for my family, I don't wish this on anybody. This is no joke, and as many people that I saw over the years that never got to tell their families goodbye, that found the end of their life on some highway, and through my story, I encourage everyone, no matter what their circumstance, please, please, make sure you tell the ones you love that you love them, never leave them mad, because you just never know.

I hope this winter's season drive is not with a crash.

My friend was in that accident.. Absolutely horrifying.. So sad for the cat and guy who passed that day.. Something most people will never get over.. Thank you to the amazing people who saved so many lives and helped so many people including my friend in this pile up. God bless everyone

So sad

Thank you to all of the public servants, health care workers, and businesses who provided assistance. An amazing effort by all involved. My heartfelt prayers for the teacher who lost his life that day.

If the government had stayed out of regulating the auto industry, all of these people might be alright. Cars used to have heavy gauge steel and were built like tanks! Now they are just little tin cans that crush like accordions.

thanks for posting this appreciate it

As a rule, don't driver faster than your ability to stop before the distance you can see. What I mean is, if you can only see 50 yards, how fast would you be able to stop if suddenly a brick wall appeared? Run that through your mind, how fast can you reach the brake pedal, how much grip is there on the road? Don't drive faster than that. But it's never going to work because most people are clueless and drive a car like a piece of poorly written software too dumb to consider possible variables. And the ones who aren't even clueless have to worry about the ones who are and being rear ended. And people texting are on another level of stupid. So what the hell are you suppose to do.

Northerners always going on about their snow/ice driving skills and making fun of the south for closing schools and businesses when so little is expected. Now what do you have to say for yourselves?

This Right here are why First Responders and Emergency Workers are the best people our society could ever ask for, and also the most thankless groups in society today. I salute all of you ladies and gentlemen for handling that situation like true Professionals.

DAMM THAT GLOBAL WARMING! ..... All those poor people fearing for their lives from sunstroke

You want a visual aid of crisis management....THIS!

This is chilling, did not watch the entire video, so proud of our public servant's!

This is quite simply a case of a combination of distracted driving, and clearly TOO FAST for conditions. You slow down to 25-30, instead of driving 50-55. I drive back and forth to/from northern WI every month, and the way people drive is ridiculous. People are in such a hurry, and when the speed limit is 55 on HWY 45, good luck driving 55. People drive 70, and hopefully you don't get run over. Lot's of very, very incompetent, dumb drivers out there.

STFU

SHIT HAPPENS Keep calm and move on

Can't stay in the vehicle because you are constantly getting hit. Can't stay outside very long because of the freezing weather. Recipe for disaster.

That's scary.

R.I.P. Andrew

First responders are my number one heroes. They can't pay them enough for their courage and compassion.

God be with Andrews family.

"snowstorm causes pileup" I think irresponsibly unsafe driving caused a pile up. People up north in the US get complacent with driving in the snow and start driving like maniacs as if going 50-60 mph during 40mph winds/snow drifts and sub freezing temps is OK. Maybe they'll learn how to drive responsibly after this.

To all first responders and every day citizens who helped.......THANK YOU!!!

Imagine being those insurance claim adjusters

Impressive. Proud to work amongs these folks.

Amazing.

stars strip club showed their true colors and was first on scene and helped to no end.

Such a crazy vid gives me chills God bless all that where there to help this day. When the weather that bad it's best to just stay home no job and no one is worth it

I was northbound on 41 a bout 1 pm that day. I was amazed at two things. First the size of the scene and the number of support vehicles there. Second that the thousands of rubberneckers northbound didn't create the same type of mess on the other side of the highway.

We were supposed to head home that morning, and that’s the route we would have taken.. blessed be.
