Colorado Avalanche sweeps cars off road

Wow.. the irony

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- A massive avalanche -- 200 feet wide and 15 feet deep -- swept across one of Colorado's main recreation routes Saturday, sweeping at least two cars off the road and prompting a search for survivors.


Officials said at least six people were rescued from the two cars and taken by ambulance to hospitals. Authorities said no one appeared to have life-threatening injuries.

Rockies can be spooky in winter at times. First thing that came to mind when I read this was that it was a pretty good call to close the Trans Canada up here earlier this week.

So what's the irony?

It would only be ironic if the cars the avalanche swept off the road contained members of the Colorado Avalanche.

Yup. Terribly ironic that an avalanche would occur in a mountainous area. Never saw that coming at all.

Irony is taken pretty seriously around these parts... Be careful how you use it!
