Whenever I see something like this (above) after a report of possible 
congestion or failure, I think of the old days when I lived in the area
there would be a "Sigalert" regarding congestion on the Harbor Freeway, 
and everybody and his brother would jump in his care to go have a look.

The congestion would persist hours (and days) after the original cause 
(usually somebody getting a speeding ticket--which in itself would have 
been interesting to see).
