Tokyo, Japan: August 1990
More than 15,000 cars crawled along for over 84 miles on a highway between Hyogo and Shiga prefectures in western Japan on August 12, 1990, in an artery clogging combination of holiday revelers heading home and residents evacuating the city because of a typhoon warning. The holiday in question was “O-bon,” the so-called Festival of the Dead, when families gather to pay respects to their ancestors. Festival of the dead end is more like it.
