Pointed at this article by an e-quaintance.  It was a tough read for me, but worth it.

Definitely worth it.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Good story and message.  I have been through that tunnel not too long after it reopened, and it was a bad feeling thinking about what happened in there.  I had never heard of the motorcyclist though.
