Good grief. This is an insane example of murphy's law

Wow that’s so dangerous for people to stuck in the heat for hours, many presumably not able to reach food/water, emergency responders can’t go anywhere…

Wait how was traffic moving at all for you to move up if the tunnel was closed?

the perfect video for me to eat my cold soup to (compliment)

oh god last wednesday was AWFUL. it took me 1 hour 25 minutes to get home after collecting my 11 month old from the childminders, the same journey took me 15 minutes earlier that morning! the blackwall tunnel is great when it works, but if that’s blocked, and the dartford tunnel / bridge is too, then essentially everywhere in a 20 mile radius is screwed.

I'm so confused does Google maps not exist in London? Anytime you pass a crash/ incident with a car you report it so drivers can see

As a huge Lost fan, I must say that they did not make it up as they went along. They had an ending planned for a long time, but the network wanted to keep the show going forever ala Grey's anatomy. It wasn't until must later in the show that they were allowed to end it. There are reasons why the show is what it is, and very little is because the writing was bad. The writing was pretty solid, the circumstances were not in their favor. Still my favorite show though. And watching it without all the hype is a lot better, than what I imagine it would have been like to watch it while it was airing.

so, how do you go on a road trip and NOT listen to a news radio channel? traffic/weather updates every 10 minutes. And, I don't live there but... where were to traffic cops to redirect? Hope Dil and Pil gave you a cash bonus!! ;-)

I’m 15 minutes in and HOW IS THERE STILL 25 MINUTES LEFT TO THIS

86 Degrees Fahrenheit in Freedom units for those that care. Can confirm, that is hot

My final takeaway from this is that you should always listen to Sophie if she has any suggestions.

I'm glad that you and Sophie weren't in the tunnel when the fire was there!

The Blackwall Tunnel has caused me so many horrific journeys through it closing randomly and there being no major announcement/google maps not knowing until it’s too late 🥲 I also broke down IN THE TUNNEL once - if you asked me, it’s cursed a tunnel

Damn, PJ! I admire your dedication and perseverance in the midst of that clusterf*ck

I live next to this area and have NEVER seen the traffic this bad that is INSANE But also dip and pip not letting you stay...shame

This is genuinely horrific

As a frequent blackwall tunnel user the youtube algorithm really got it right with this suggestion, this tunnel and the construction works that have been going on for a million years are the bane of my life when it comes to going south of the river to visit family

Heeeyyy pj, do more story times on this channel, they're so engaging!!

a classic example of a big city management failing to communicate. oh and also a good example of why cars should be banned from inner cities in my opinion...

Stories like this are why I don't leave the house

on my way home after visiting my parents I missed a car accident by a few minutes and I was stuck for about an hour and I thought THAT was bad. also fuck that lady with the tea but tbh I was so scared you were about to badly burn yourself bc that woulda sent me over the edge

I think getting stuck in bad gridlock is a right of passage especially for anyone that lives in or close to a large city. I commend you for not absolutely losing it because I was stuck for 2 hours once in a nicely airconed car and I was filled with rage by the end of it haha. It didn't help that I had tried to go into the city center for lunch and was already hungry at the start of the trip. I have heard of such bag grid lock in a major city in China that took weeks to clear up because it took so long that thousands of people abandoned their cars. Your ordeal would've driven me mad, I can't imagine how I'd feel in grid lock that severe.

Oh man, my condolences! I don't drive, but I have been stuck in London when public transport was down before and the whole place just goes insane. Genuinely pretty scary at times, especially if you're stuck overnight! the feeling of being home safe and comfortable afterwards can't be beat, makes you appreciate what you have. Happens too often for my liking too, there's always SOMETHING that goes wrong with a journey in London 😭

Im curious is google map not an option?

I would've cried at LEAST 3 times throughout this story!!!

Can we also conclude that if something like this happens, there is no plan made to have another solution. Your day is just gone.

Okay wow what a story. My friends and I were just talking about that "worlds longest traffic jam" in china that lasted for like 12 days and wondering how is that possible. So I appreciate you sharing your story and giving some insight into how a traffic so terribly jammed is possible, Though I am sorry for the massive headache of it all, it is quite a story!

when u circled ur destination i got scared cos thats where i am rn aaaaahhh

Isle of dogs is a real place?,.?

As an Australia 30degrees isn’t particularly hot BUT it’s bloody sweltering in a car without an aircon. I’m speaking from experience 😅

"1 way or another I was getting scolded" 😂

Eat a pice

London traffic is horrific. For those that aren't aware most roads in the UK, specifically London, are purposefully mapped out to preserve old architecture and sites. Meaning they are often narrower than they could be and cannot sustain the amount of modern traffic. I have been stuck trying to get out of London during rush hour on a coach with a crying baby before. Took 3 hours just to get out and another 3 to get back to Bristol. PJ you are a strong man. I genuinely couldn't have handled this

“Deliver the thing to london” I’m sure Dip and Pip thank you for your contributions.

Ugh I live not too far from Greenwich and have to drive to visit my parents in Essex quite a lot and let me tell you, if one of the Rotherhithe or Blackwall tunnel is closed, forget about it. It's usually an hours drive, but has been a 3 hour one before - I feel your pain!

I had something similar happen on a winter drive in the US where 80 was about on the only viable option. Thankfully, my smart travel companion suggested cutting our losses early, so we nabbed a hotel room. WiFi and an indoor pool while road crews sorted it.

Trying to sus if the hotel was Dan or Phil's idea because they seem empathetic enough to realise PJ and Sophie would just want to get in bed not get back on the road after all that haha

I would have just parked the car wherever and walked 😅

Got stuck in barely moving traffic on the M25 a few weeks ago which added 3 hrs to the original 2 hrs AND with no air con on a hot day but this is definitely worse rip. It's so stressful bc everyone is trying to cut in front, people are getting mad, others aren't paying attention at all to the road

im so sorry you guys had to deal with that 😭 so glad your friends were able to get you a hotel to freshen up and recharge. also you handled the hotel lady better than me i would have broken down sobbing if someone scolded me after a day like that!

i could not survive this you guys are so brave

the high beam thing wouldve broke my patience, i applaud yall

I think I would've just out of anxiety and stress abandoned my car and walked into the river, ultimately becoming one with the disease-riddled water.

i feel you, i got stuck on 1-5 here in oregon going through a mountain pass and like ten semis crashed within 5 miles. traffic was stopped for about 8 hours while highway patrol cleaned up. I had to sit overnight in my car, in like 20 degree weather (-5 degrees celcius), and was completely alone, almost completely out of service, and barely slept. at like 4 or 5 in the morning highway patrol started getting traffic moving again (they had to knock on people's hoods to get them to wake up), and then i drove like 4 more hours to portland in insane ice conditions. i passed at least ten more jacknifed semis on the way. that was the first time in my life i called 911 :) don't drive long distance at night in the winter, kids!
