The Day the UK Stopped - River Song - 17 October 2015

Came across this BBC Mocumentary - it's about 1-1/2 hours long
and shows how just one thing can cause complete shutdown all over the place -- the dependencies on each other is frightening. Think I'll stop at home.

what have I always said about the "domino" effect, one thing affects something else that affects a third a fourth, so on and so forth, nope, nobody ever gets it.

A "Mockumentary"?

Who are they mocking?

Added to my watch list, I'll comment more when I've seen it.

Enjoyed it, very well done and certainly highlights the fact that so much of the UK is near to max capacity in many aspects. Had a neighbour a while back caught in a gridlock on M1 for 6 hours!

just a small "fender bender" will lock down a road for hours sometimes.

just this morning the M5 near Cullompton was closed for over an hour due to an escaped Bullock.
