The only saddest thing I've ever seen was when Grey and I were trying to make a gate time at Reagan. We left reasonably on time, but hit standstill traffic within 20 minutes. I was cursing VDOT for scheduling construction time on the weekends. Turns out, it was really an accident. We passed the accident and saw aa totally burned out tractor with trailer on the side of the road. Local radio station reported that, it was, sadly, a beer truck. So, then I got to call my airline carrier and explain why I needed to know which gate our plane would be arriving at...you get the picture.
