Think traffic is bad in L.A. or New York? Puh-leeze. THIS is bad traffic.

This aerial view of a traffic jam in China will take your breath away. And that may not be a good thing, considering all the smog in the air. Look at all those cars. It's like a scene from a movie where people are trying to get out of Dodge before the end of the world hits.

And we do mean much worse.
