Well in reality this looks like one big junkyard

QuoteBut the story that these cars were somehow parked here hurriedly while American servicemen left to return home, the tale that keeps coming up associated with these pictures, just doesn't appear to be true. These cars aren't 70 years old. They seem to be in a range of 45-60 years old or so.

Creepy pictures, regardless of how the cars came to be there.

It's like 40 years after The Day After . . .

Any evidence that this is anything other than a forgotten junkyard?
In other words, were these vehicles parked here intentionally because they where junk?  And it only looks like a "traffic jam" because they were placed on an abandoned roadway?

That will happen in Dallas some day but all they will do is pave over the traffic jam.
