Quote:
Local reports said hundreds of thousands of people were massed like a herd of humanity into a huge, makeshift corral larger than a football field.

State-run news agency Xinhua said 400,000 people were stranded at Guangzhou Railway Station on Friday, down about half from the height of the crisis.


800,000 people, waiting for trains that probably won't come, for their one chance this year to visit their family, waiting mostly outdoors, during a snowstorm ...

Next time we have a bad day, just think about that for a minute.
