When White Wall Fell: I-75's Deadly Fog and the Cover-Up

A highway that produced a white wall so sudden drivers could not see a bridge above them - 99 vehicles entered it and 12 people died in one morning. What allowed a known fog hotspot, with internal company studies and cancelled state research, to keep killing on Interstate 75?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events, the geography, the studies that were commissioned and cancelled, and the warning system that drivers came to ignore - and ask how many more tragedies it would take to force change.
