I had a rather fortuitous traffic tie up in Chicago that made me miss a plane last year. I had been at the Great Lakes Naval Training Base doing a job and was ready to fly back to Seattle. I ended up on this horrid 4 lane highway with traffic lights. I couldn't figure out how to get away from it and sure enough missed my flight. that night was the beginning of all of the little airlines shutting down and other airlines cancelling flights for a variety of reasons, this was last April. In addition to all of that, a monster storm went through Minneapolis where I was supposed to change planes which shut that airport down over night. the company got me one of the last hotel rooms in Chicago that night, and I got out around 10 the next day. it was a good thing too as I had less than 36 hours to turn around and go to Hawaii for another project. that was a grueling job.
