There was a show on TLC about a 60-70 (or something, i can't remember) car pile-up with a bunch of fatalities quite a while ago. It was caused by a huge amount of fog, which was common for the area. Except, on this day, the fog was so thick, you couldn't see your feet.
After some analysis, a nearby (3 miles away) paper plant was found to be producing 1.5 million gallons of water vaper / day, in comparison to about 390 gallons / day being produced by the lake around the highway. That with some kind of weird weather effect on the day caused the water vapor to stay low. They had visual confirmation of this weather effect on that day.
Hmmm... I wonder if the fog was natural... or unnatural?
