In Oregon, a semi-truck containing 7,500 pounds of of hag fish, also known as "slime eels", overturned on a highway, spilling the contents onto the roadway. When nervous, these eels produce a slime, which unfortunately covered a man's car completely with the slime. Police say as the truck was coming up to road construction, he tried to stop and one container flew off onto the high way, hitting an oncoming car. This caused the four cars behind it to slam into the first. Those in the car had only minor injuries, and no one else was hurt. The road is now reopened after having been bull dozed and hosed off. The eels were being taken to Korea for consumption.
How would you react in this situation?
What would be your first thought getting out of your car and seeing these eels?
I would be scared just like anyone in this situation. There's a semi with containers flying off of it. I would be angry at the truck driver for not being more careful. I would immediately think I was in a dream or a nightmare if I saw all of those eels on my car. They were all over the ground and possibly could've squirted their goo on me.

Well done Macy!
I would be scared because the crash could've been fatal and other's could've been hurt in the accident. If I got out of my car and saw the slime I would be angered at first because it would be a mess and would be really hard to clean up, but I would laugh a little because its a weird situation that doesn't normally happen.
I would be kinda freak out because of all the slime and how disgusting it looks. Also, I would get back into the car because I don't wanna touch any of those eels.
If I were in the car and this happened I would be terrified. There is slime getting all over my car so I wouldn't be able to see then there are cars crashing into me from behind. It would be pretty scary. Well, I wouldn't know what to think at first because I probably wouldn't think eels when there is white slime all over. It would be kind of humorous though, but it could've been worse. The truck driver probably learned a lesson from all of this.
I would be terrified too! It would be hard to try and control the car with all the eel slime all over it. If I saw the white slime, I probably wouldn't have though of eels at first either. I have no idea what it could have been.
1. It would already be a mess to be in a car accident, especially with a semi-truck. In this situation I would try to remain as calm as I could, but I would try to get out of the car as fast as I could. I definitely do not want to be covered in eel slime.
2. I would be really freaked out if I saw the eels everyone. They could potentially be harmful and that would really scare me, especially considering the situation I was already in.
I would be freaking out too, just because of the crash. But then to see some kind of weird slime all over my car would be even stranger. There's no way to know whether the eels are dangerous or not, which would add to my fear.
I think that an accident like this would frighten anyone, especially because of the mess that occurred. I don't think i would be to worried about it because it isn't like they are going to hurt you or kill you.. .they are just.. there. The only potentially dangerous thing about this is that there could have been a more severe accident.
I would be extremely frightened when seeing a crate flying out of the back of a semi-truck at my windshield, even more so considering I'm fairly unexperienced. As long as I was okay I would feel pretty bad for the truck driver assuming that he was sorry for what he did. Seeing all the eels I would probably freak out and either go back in the car or get out of the slime.
I think that any incident involving any kind of car is traumatic and frightening, especially if I was involved in a mess like this. I'm sure the truck driver was considering the mess he had caused, wondering what his or her boss would say when they found out, and worrying over if everyone involved was okay. If I was involved in the slamming into of the 1st car, there's no doubt in my mind I would be shaken up. If I hadn't been shaken up or involved in the accident I would find a significant interest in the slime eels. Many people in today's society would take a picture because "it will last longer" and post it all over social media in an attempt to get the most likes. I'm sure I would take a picture, but I would also attempt to get out of the way of all the cleanup and towing that had to be done.
