Epic traffic jam in China leaves drivers stuck for 9 days

(CNN) -- Think you had a hellish commute this morning? Just be thankful you're not in China, where a traffic jam stretching more than 100 km (62 miles) has forced drivers to keep their feet planted on brake pedals for nine days.

I feel bad for these folks that got stuck, and I thought the school traffic on my old commute was bad.

Cheers!
