Holy smokes?
29th May 2005
It was Friday morning. I was in a hurry to get to a sales meeting. I was driving North on the 5 Freeway. I was on my way to the City of Industry from Irvine. I had 40 minutes to make the meeting, which should be ok under normal circumstances, but it was morning commute time.
While bolting through the 5, just before I hit the congestion around Beach Blvd, I heard something weird in the car over above the morning news talk on the radio. At first it sounded as if an aluminum tray was folded over. I thought my wife had left something from her last shopping trip to Costco’s in the car. Then, I realized that the sound was coming from behind the dashboard. Next I hear a sizzling sound and smoke was fuming out of the radio and CD player! I was shaking. The smell of burnt plastic was stifling.
