The Car Fire on Glenwood Avenue Yesterday

I am sending several more photos that I took in sequence of the traffic jam, before and then the explosion and burning car from yesterday. Please let me know if you want any other details. The Hispanic lady (in photo 16) in the umbrella, I stood under her umbrella for about 5 - 10 minutes, she was the nicest person, She didn't even know me and offered to allow me to stand under it with her. That in itself was the nicest blessing, to see people trying to treat each other as they would expect and desire to be treated, with kindness and thinking of others before themselves. After about 2 hours waiting there, I took the chance of driving my car across that median and in all that snow and turned around on the other side of the road and went back the other direction. I took about 45 minutes or so to make the decision to try it and I gunned it and drove through that center median that had quite a bit of snow in there, hoping to not be the idiot who got stuck there. And it worked out, thank God.
