California Insane Blizzard Slams Donner Pass - Hundreds stranded
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2024
- One of the worst #blizzards I have ever experienced in any part of the nation hit #California for several days. With strong gusts and a lot of snow blowing, Interstate 80 was reduced to a parking lot, leaving hundreds of people stranded. While CHP and CalTrans worked to free everyone stranded on Donner Pass, semi trucks were strewn all over the road. Whiteout conditions and a lot of snow earlier in the day produced traffic jams throughout the pass. We removed a large number of cars.

Thanks for not playing music in the background. The sound of silence was perfect. Excellent drone footage. Thanks for sharing. 🌬❄️
Wow, i guess nobody got the memo about this approaching storm!
people dont listen!!!
they do what ever they want
Most don't speak English or Spanish.
Yes, there weren't any warnings😂
Truckers going to truck and they think they know better than CHP.
It seems that about now would be a good time to re-tell the story of how Donner Pass got its name. That was a result of a terrible blizzard as well.
Everybody has a smartphone with weather apps and news reports. Yet idiots still thought they'd make it through...
Exactly what I was thinking 😬
I blame the news media for making everything a B.F.Deal when it isn't. I hated my local news because they did that over and over. In Oklahoma City only Gary England would tell the truth, minor ice, maybe bridges might ice up when other channels had everyone at the grocery store stocking up when it wasn't necessary. He retired and their news lost its integrity too. Gary England is who developed doppler radar for tornadoes.
You cannot cry wolf all the time then people stop believing you. This cluster is what happens. Notice it is mostly 18 wheelers out on the highway, they have to run regardless. Sit on the road or sit in the truckstop if there is room.
These are your family members created by God in his image born from the same family as you were born that's why Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor 🧏❤️🔥
I think some people want to get caught out to see what happens.....There was a major forest fire in my area once and an ex-boyfriend and his buddy thought it would be fun to see what the fire looked like up close. The got so close that a fire truck told them to make sure all their windows were up because a water bomber was about to bomb them and the fire truck with fire retardent.
Uhhhhhh, wow, I was still able to buy groceries even after a storm..... Howd that happen?????
You were told about severe weather condition days in advance and told not to travel this route but just had to do it anyways. People never seem to learn
Why those companies make their drivers to continue driving on a blizzard like this one. No regard for their safety.
If they knew a storm was coming. DOT should've closed the pass early. We all know idiots would still roll through given the chance despite warnings.
Nothing obscuring the drone's camera lens in such harsh weather. Impressive.
Modern high tech coatings ice doesn't stick to it as long as humidity is low as well as temperature.
Remember the blades on the drone kinda serve as a automatic snow blower keeping the lens clean. If you want to see something really impressive look up a drone the is faster than a Formula 1 raced car, able to keep up with one around a race track, a invention that will I'm sure change how races are covered...really impressive.RUclips search>>>>>>
>>>>>>>World's Fastest Camera Drone Vs F1 Car
The guys with the snowmobiles will be having some serious fun
Crazy people would even attempt to go over the pass.🙏♥️😇Hoping no kids were on the insane trip.
What model drone is used for all this footage it's amazing that it can fly in some of these conditions.
pretty sure all the EV's are doing just fine waiting for a tow truck to be carried to the nearest charging station that might be working
Did you see all those Semis with the same problem?
@@slymcfly123Those trucks could still have power from their diesel engines. Definitely stuck but not the same as a dead in the snow EV.
@@slymcfly123 Those semis are nicely heated, just waiting for the plows. EVs? Nah.
@bugsbunny3107 no more dead then regular gas cars. But what do you have against EV anyways. Sounds personal.
EVs can last many hours parked in these conditions. They do just fine, thank you.
Hey Ma! A blizzard’s a comin’. Time to drive the pass!
Holy moly. Scary to see the semis obviously did not come to a completely controlled stop. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Im a truck driver and i went around this storm because i pay attention and i trip plan 😅
When I lived in Vermont we were told a major storm was coming, guess what we did? WE STAYED HOME, SAFE AND SOUND, LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE SHOULD!
Wow" Who knew this was coming..........????????????????
I guess the radios don't work in those vehicles.....what part of the snowstorm didn't you people not understand?
I live in San Francisco and we were warned of the blizard at leat one week ago
80 may be shut until monday
This is nothing new for Donner Pass in a storm, but these truckers are "professionals"....lol
It really doesn't look like any more of a storm than we usually see, especially Donner Pass... These truck drivers know the Pass, they knew they'd be on the side of the Hwy half the night, its just part of their day...
Lake Tahoe and Donner pass is maybe 15 miles apart .... This video shows Tahoe getting slammed .... ruclips.net/video/CBNE6Z68RGc/видео.htmlsi=NUvr_5csYP--_j3d
the shoes on the wire at 8:14 😁
Wow! This has never happened ever before. The sky is falling.
Very sad indeed, but no one ever said 'truck drivers are smart'.
In reality some people actually enjoy demonstrating how dumb they are every chance they get. They could have been resting comfortably at a nice tuck stop with hot food, fuel and toilets. Instead they preferred to block up the highway so the snowplows could not possibly do their jobs and clear the roads of snow. These guys actually like being stuck on the highway watching the snow pileup deeper and deeper around their vehicles.
There will never be Equality because as we can see we are not all equally smart.
I wonder how electric cars fared in this... LOL.
😂😳
Watch out for the guy spilling barbecue sauce on everyone. The Donner party had strange appetizers.
So easy to attack .... fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes...storms track over large areas and inevitably people and vehicles.
OMG,THIS IT IS SO SAD. I HOPE THE ANIMALS ARE OK.
Have the Global Warming Cultists called an end to the drought OR are they blaming Evil Man and his use of SUVs for the Blizzard??
Hey CHP how about closing the road down BEFORE the storm. We have all be hearing 10-12 feet possible.
OMG.
What were these people thinking???? They knew what was coming but drove into it anyway ?? I understand they need to get it there, make money. Now look at the mess they are in.
There was a lot of warnings before heading into the Sierra's. Too bad they didn't listen to them.
You dont want to wait for Cal Trans to clean it up first this is what you get
Looks like lots of wind and little snow ,there should be 8 foot of snow on these mountains before this even started, not much winter this year so far
Narration would be nice with this great footage! 😮
What's to narrate? Lots of snow = vehicles going nowhere. 🤣🤣 It was shot in Truckee, CA, in case you didn't notice the signage @06:12. 😉😁
The box trucks have special sleeping areas in their truck and warmth and they can survive for a while......As for cars being stuck in that snow I don't understand why they didn't book a room for the night. There are plenty of rooms available.
I don't understand why people felt the need to drive during a storm dumping 5" inches of snow in an hour. (Unless its an emergency situation)
May not be able to afford a room up there. It is skit season and rates go sky high.
If it weren't for all the Food Trucks, they might have a repeat of the Pass Name sake.
i just left from there a week ago from visiting my Family!!!
Look like crazy but huge blessing for water the state need.caltrans and uprr got work cut out on this it insane amount we got west calgary alberta storm but this is crazy pure simple.😮
not too smart, they brought it upon themselves, this storm has been talked about for over a week
I guess AmTrack won’t be stopping tonight
Watching weather about California…..
Triggers people into toxic, hateful rage.🤣😂
It’s hilarious!!!
The drone sound and additional natural sounds would be nice.
All of this could be avoided if yall took 10 or 40 , might have an hour or two to the trip. Could made it too ABQ. But would have hit extremely high winds. Got sand blasted here in the Four Corners. Stay safe n warm everyone. East Coast this what is coming your guys ways
The road crew worked a lot to get the cars off the interstate.
Madre Mia
This happens every year, nothing unusual about it except the media latched on this year for some reason
Yet there ARE 4x4s and AWDs doing just fine around the 2:00 mark. Hard to say what time of day that is though, I guess.
You all do realize those big rigs shown were not stuck but they pulled off the road because of the conditions and the road being closed AFTER they were on it. The rest areas are closed since they are used to put the snow removed from the roads. The storms up there come in FAST, like right now FAST. It is the "flatlanders" that are the idiots thinking they know how to drive in these conditions.
Fast? This was forecasted at least a week prior. Usually just takes one or two truckers without chains to cause major problems. DOT should be shutting things down as well if they can't keep up with the storm.
@@rustyshackle917 a storm up there predicted to come in in a day may not hit at all or it may hit within an hour. It's funny up there. They leave this road open as long as they possibly can since it is kind of like a major route, pretty much the only northern major route between two states. This is a yearly occurrence up there, this unpredictable weather and major snow storms.
@@rustyshackle917 as for the chains, well if they say use chains then you use chains. They will not let you past the checkpoint otherwise.
Wow
Dispatchers pushing drivers when they've never driven a truck in their life
Im glad im not in this mess
The grifter Al Gore said no more snow by 2015 .
Global warming……are these horrible storms. You get that?
I wanna be there.
Here I come to save the day super truckers on the way
People don’t listen!!
no! they dont!
California is having wirrd weather this year.Flooding down south and then a blizzard up north.I wonder what else will happen.
I HOPE NOT A STATEQUAKE.
wow
Dumbbells getting caught up on the pass. I don't feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for the commercial truck drivers only
Hope they have enough food
People need to respect global cooling.
I lived up north for 15 years n if I could help it never went out in this kind of weather.
Caryn & Mel.
looks like it's all trucks that got stuck .. trying to make deliveries despite the weather .. bad move ...
If you need to get paid you do what you have to do
endangering lots of other people and having them clean up the mess @@lorirogers9304
It's winter time what do you expect ??? a tropical heat wave ???.
you can expect massive snow storms to cross the searas & those costal ranges all across cali & the Pacific North West.
Donar pass big bear & that hole area gets hammered with snow storms every single year.
Actually there is a heat wave from Texas to Michigan...
I'll bet your young aren't you ???. the fact of the matter is it's still winter .
what ever is going on elsewhere has absolutely no bearing on what's going on locally.
Hire a teenager while they know the world ,.
Whell i know they are comeing soon to a town near you and when the battery dies on them ,you cant even put them in in neutral
Here is an example of where EV wont work.
100 s stranded they should have stayed home ,but there they are .
Holy Moses jesus Chris of larzus. Mercy sakes alive. I'll be a 🤬 what's in th5 🤬 is going ons
CANT FIX STUPID !!!!!!!
Just came out of the blue! 😂
otherwise a normal winter storm day.
caltrans does not close down this pass till after a couple big problems hit. as reno. and the greater sacramento areas do not want the trucks lining up in there streets.
hwt 70 is a lower elv pass but only two lanes. and takes a lot longer to get through then even a stoppage on hwy 80 ( donner pass). hwy 50 is a joke when the snow is falling as again only 2 lanes but has a steap narrow cliff area out of tahoe.
50 is scary with no snow let alone this time of year.
70 has been closed since Friday.
Masha Allah
If they get hungry and the snow gets deeper and they run out of fuel then perhaps they can just eat each other.
Common sense is not common.
Hmmm..... did these drivers not get the memo about this storm? Or are they just idiots?
Just idiots!
We are all born of Noah that's why Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor🧏❤️🔥
@@Jesusiscoming24 Love of thy neighbor and damned foolishness in a massive storm are as distant as earth to the moon. Bless your heart.
@@wanagi006 .. I love my Jesus and also love scary movies but it's getting harder to scare me these days when I was a kid demons moving things in the house scared me but now I laugh at them so they leave me alone .. but anyways I would not want to say bad things to my mom and nor my neighbor
The owners of some of those buildings need to start removing the snow off their roofs before the weight caused the roof to collapse.
Oh man! This is Apocalyptic! A sense of going back into the past. A place in time where past meets future. Those trapped now start cannibalizing each other
Well we can count on these drivers to ban New York loads for a while!!
Stop chemical trails
Does anybody listen to the weather. I guess the American s lost there mine.
Steering wheel holders in trucks proving the industry is dominated by idiots with CLD approval 😅
You can’t get there from here
It’s not insane it’s just typical gee 0 engineered weather.
😂😂😂😂
Isn't that what you call.....
First off, this is NOT an "insane blizzard" at all. It is to be expected at this location, at this time of year, for tens of thousands of years. Second, every person that is stuck on the road, and needs to be rescued, should be sent a LARGE bill, for putting others in danger. There is no reason that they did not know of the approaching weather. Just as dumb as the Donner party.
Lake Tahoe and Donner pass is maybe 15 miles apart .... This video shows Tahoe getting slammed .... ruclips.net/video/CBNE6Z68RGc/видео.htmlsi=NUvr_5csYP--_j3d
Why do you think that the Donner party was dumb? They had limited knowledge of this area, plus it was an unusually bad storm.
In reality there are not many people STUCK on the road. The big rigs have pulled off the road annd are waiting the storm out until the roads open back up.
The truckers are one thing because they are forced to drive until they can’t.but all these other people are just dumb for going here when a huge storm is forecast 😂
It's obviously NOT a blizzard considering a drone is flying around.
Como e la fuck vida
They should all have their CDL's taken away!
You're so smart... Wow, that yuppie going skiing is more important than food and goods being delivered to Reno and beyond...
yup. looks like global warming to me
How’s that😂 global warming!
Anyone see any dead electric cars out there
Nope. Lots of stuck gas powered trucks though.
They tend to be a bit smarter than the average ICE driver apparently.
who cares😂😂
Stop HAARP
Please drive , when the The Weather forecast predicts 60-90 cm of snow , must be Trump fans !
We just had 150 cm then days later another 60 cm here in Nova Scotia
haha, at least they have plenty to eat.
Tough call for the truckers. But being under Contract to deliver their loads, they don't have a choice except to go as far as can and hopefully not get stuck as we see here. If they refuse to drive over the mountain, it will come out of their pockets. They got the news and are well stocked and warm in their cabs to wait the storm out. Its the travelers that make the bad decisions to drive in this, get stuck and put other people at risk for their bad choices. God bless you truckers!
They didn't have to take 80 and Donner Pass is well known for getting slammed and 80 getting shut down
