WOW what a mess, anywhere between 20-25 cars piled into one tangle mess and still burning, when the pager went off the flame ball was several hundred feet in the air, Well the firefighters that went to the hospital all were released and doing fine I will report back when I am not so tired and maybe post some cool pics.
