This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

One night I was working at #18 Engine Co in Squirrel Hill. by ArasEra
We got a call for an accident at Murray & Forward Avenues.
When we arrived on scene we found Murray Avenue to be a sheet of ice stretching from the top at Morrowfield Avenue down the hill to Forward Avenue by the old Poli's restaurant. Cars were still coming down the hill similar to what you posted in that video.
We were able to close the street at the top of the hill but about 6 or 7 cars had already been damaged. Luckily there was only one minor injury and we were able to take her inside of Poli's to keep warm until the ambulance arrived.
And "Followfilled" in your video - that's Fallowfield street in the Beechview neighborhood. They probably pronounce it that way, or at least the "filled" (field) part.
