Aerial Video of Bumper-To-Bumper Traffic in Los Angeles on Thanksgiving Day Goes Viral for all the Wrong Reasons - JPKee.com
Thanksgiving Day is a major festival of the United States. It is a national holiday and also starts the holiday season of Christmas and New Year. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated to express gratitude for friends and family and was originally a harvest festival. It was celebrated yesterday on November 23, 2017. Thanksgiving Day usually signifies a day of family get-togethers and lavish family dinners. The day after Thanksgiving Day is marked with amazing deals, discounts and offers provided by the retailers and are called Black Friday. A name which might be misleading but now has a happy connotation attached to it. However, if on Thanksgiving Day there is a massive traffic jam then it surely dampens the mood somewhat and it can bring down the festive mood several notches below. To avoid the panic an aerial footage of a bumper-to-bumper traffic jam on the Los Angeles 405 Freeway was tweeted by ABC News to show how people can get stuck if they plan to travel by road. As in India, when fake images of Diwali seen from space generally starts doing the round the aerial video instead of cautioning people instilled a panic in them and the video went viral on social media.
