A story from inside the car at the entrance to the chaos through the road to Madrid by the great blackout
The sun looks clean, wearing some skirts sighing from harmless clouds, spring, and an intense but fatal sun, contrasting with a city, Madrid, outside, this Monday, is very messy. On an ordinary day, despite the distinctive capital traffic, it does not hard to cover the journey between the town of Pozuelo de Alarcón and Argülles neighborhood about 15 or 20 minutes. Today, those who left this luxury municipality at 2:00 pm. It will not be able to reach the historic Madrid region even after 17:30.
The feeling that the traveler suffers from during the return process or the large snow that surprises him on the highway. The vehicles barely advance six or seven meters every four or five minutes. The big difference is that those who find themselves cannot write to the wife to tell him that they are in traffic congestion or call a friend who is killed by the boredom that the asphalt produces. Moreover, those who are definitely They did not know anything about the wife or friend hours. Nor from their children, who have to collect from school, or their mothers, who today have an appointment with the cardiologist.
Do not work, you should act blind DGT because cameras that control the main access to the city do not work. As it is possible, Police cars are trying to overcome the long lines of vehicles in M-40 In order to put the system in chaos. The soundtrack this afternoon in Madrid is the siren, and only the voice of the radio broadcaster, who showed today the reason for being immortal, prevents the citizen from proposing the sound of ambulances that require the road and rising the impulses.
West Park provides a contrast. Many people with a naked trunk notice the grass on the cuesta car row on the road during the sun’s bathrooms. On the right, on an earthen road, a truck rested from the sofa store. His driver marks the left window: “Without gasoline. Call 622 …”. Cigars are removed, illuminated, resigned, starting in the direction of half a liter of Rosalis. Later, the camouflage police leave the row and start rising next to this territorial road, causing fog of dust that coughs the young man in sportswear.
There are many who benefit from any hole on the road to stop their car in an unconventional way and continue the road on foot in facing rare hope in speeding traffic. Others, in which the greatest moment of chaos caught in some taxis or VTC, They pay the race and leave the car in the middle of the road. Some infantry notes the situation and takes half a more confused smile so that this huge national blackout causes the fatigue that he notes in drivers.
Along PRINCESA and Alberto Aguilera Street, many citizens are waiting for cross weapons, in the bus that does not arrive, if this happens, it is full of people. Indeed in the capital, the police are trying to organize traffic in the main arteries. However, there are streets and ways that do not arrive, and therefore the pedestrian must bet on the generosity of drivers, which, given that traffic lights are not usable, reduce the speed when reaching the zebra crossings. There is some fearLike a young man who, among the protests, should stop in the middle of the crossing because a taxi driver drives at a reckless speed of the situation that lives and does not give up.
The stamps along the different streets of Madrid are similar: the arguments are crowded from people who take soda to the sun while commenting on what is happening, Many couples carry bags with food inside after visiting supermarkets And the full families of some colonies in Madrid, such as those in Siro and Concha Espina, enter their car to download the mobile phone and listen to the radio.
It was nearly ten hours of uncertainty and chaos in the capital, which concluded with an unexpected ignition around 10 pm with the echo of echo Celebration and chants From, from alive to the neighborhood, they saw how electricity lit their homes again while eating dinner in candles.
