there was a wreck one night on the twinspan near new orleans - resulted in a HUGE car fire - flames were at least twice as high as the semi the car crashed into that caused the whole thing. and since it's a bridge, nobody could pass, so we were there for a few hours. everyone was out of their cars, making friends, sharing drinks and snacks, letting kids play, and generally just making the best of it.
once we finally got past the burned out shell of a car, we got a good look (well, as best as we could at night)... there was no glass, no rubber or anything left - it was a whiteish-silver body of a car, sitting directly on the pavement. even the aluminum wheels had burned away.
