another brilliant mind poisoned by c++
How do you think could internet search engines be affected by a shower or two causing minor disruption on local roads? Well, they are. Take a look at this. This trend shows that recently (late April 2008) there was a spike in searches containing phrase “Woy Woy” and Google thinks it happened because of our road closure. Quite a smart thing, isn’t it?
The only thing it does not know is when it will be over.
And will remain closed for a long time. See below.
It happened quitely and without broad media coverage. Of course, who cares about forgotten suburb one hour drive north from Sydney?
The thing is that our one hour drive turned into almost two as motorists forced to take a detour via Gosford. The distance seems almost the same on the map, but in fact traffic around West Gosfors is just hopeless - in evening rush hour a traffic jam starts at Kariong! And still no “breaking news” and even any pictures. Isn’t it because what happened is very similar to Pacific hwy collapse at Somersby last year?
Thanks to Internet, there are some info and pictures available
But still no oficial information about when the road can be opened again…
