Memorial Highway Crash Scene Investigation

Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is set sometime in the future after a global catastrophe. The Road follows the story of a nameless father and son, possibly the last of the “good guys”, as they travel along an abandoned stretch of highway populated with occasional marauders and cannibals. The post-apocalyptic setting plays upon the public’s fear of terrorism, pandemics, genocide, and weapons of mass destruction. Since the cause of the destruction remains unanswered, it is left open to the mind to make assumptions. The Roadi is set somewhere in the south eastern United States. There is mention of distant mountains, several rivers and creeks, and a coastline. The landscape and the air are soaked in thick, gray ash. Vegetation has been

Brace yourselves everyone! This is Dave Smith here at the scene of the wreck on I-92. A semi pulled in front of them, and they swerved to avoid hitting it. If I were them, I would take the back roads like Route 66. Route 66 has small town restaurants, stores, and everyone knows everyone. It does not have those huge semi's that zoom past you. It is not busy at all. This road has landmarks, and stuff that you might never see again.

The article on the tragic crash at Michigan speedway was truly shocking. It goes more into the aftershocks of the accident but does in fact touch on what happened during the astounding event.

This is very important due to its relation with broadcasting to the people watching which is an important job.

Rick Reilly (Author) has a very long
