Massive Coronal Mass Ejection to hit the earth today

[Michael Pratt]

Think the CME caused this? LOL

BERLIN (Reuters) - A hearse overturned on a German motorway Wednesday, shattering the coffin and 
ejecting the corpse onto the tarmac along with a bag of coffin nails that brought traffic to a 
standstill, authorities said. 

 
"The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel and yanked the steering wheel round when he woke up," 
said Jens O'Brien, spokesman for the regional government in Duesseldorf, western Germany. 
"There were nails strewn over 50 meters and the corpse fell out onto the ground." 
The A40 motorway was closed for an hour and there was a 4-mile back-up as police collected the 
coffin nails and took the corpse away. 
The hearse had not been driving to a funeral but had been transporting the body from Wuerzburg in 
southern Germany. The undertaker was slightly hurt.
