Here is a Traffic Alert or what is called a "SigAlert" that is in effect here in LA. Nothing too exciting or earth shaking about bad traffic in crowded Los Angeles. Until you read what is the Hazardous Material causing the freeway shutdown.
From California Highway Patrol website: Hazardous material spill closes 5 lanes
The northbound I-5 freeway at the 405 is the site of a SigAlert, after a late morning accident caused a spill that covered several lanes of traffic. Two traffic lanes and the truck lanes remain shut down, awaiting Caltrans cleanup crews. The substance, described as black and slippery, was initially thought to be tar, but was determined to be irradiated human waste. The waste is not hazardous and was on its way to be processed into fertilizer.
I am never buying fertilizer ever again.

Brrrrp. Really? Human waste as fertilizer? What were they fertilizing? Sick. and wrong.
It's gotta go somewhere, I suppose.
I just never thought it would be sprinkled on what becomes MY FOOD.
HAHAHA this is too too funny.. of course its all too too scary but its healthier to laugh LOL :)
Oh.My.God. (said very slowly)
I'm with the others. No more fertilizer for me.
:shudder:
Great! Glad we started that compost pile last summer too!
EWWWWWWW!!!!! Grossness!!! I'd say that is still hazardous if it's not safe to eat or rub on your skin. Right? Wondered if it stinks after being irradiated??? Gross! Have you seen those toilets that incinerate all waste? They are call Incinolets? Very interesting. Imagine the smoke? P.U.!
HAPPY COMPOSTING :)
SWEET JESUS!
I have to take the 405 later... I can't remember if I drive by the 5 exit!
Son of a bitch. Los Angeles traffic has finally out Los Angeles trafficked itself.
Oh yuck!
On a nicer note - thanks for all the nice comments. See you on the photo memes! :-)
I'd hate to be the person who found out that the substance was black and slippery. Imagine how many baths they've taken today!
Speechless. Totally speechless.
Oh...yuck! At least it's not windy tonight...no wafting stinky smells!
Oooh gross.
uuugh, uuuugh, uuuugh.... groo-ooosss! thats all there is to say!!!
Well, that is just wrong...so wrong. Another reason to go organic, but then again, I guess that would be considered organic although GROSS! Ew....
Blargh! Eat organic!
Eww, yuk! Never thought about that before.
Thanks for all the sweet comments. I'm finally catching up.
This is totally disgusting. On a different note, I was in Los Angeles last week and so I actually know a few of the freeways now (someone mentioned the 405 and the 5 in her comments).
Glad this didn't happen while I was there. I LOVE Southern Cali and want to move there with every fiber of my being.
