Man stuck in traffic jam on Zakim Bridge does handstand
Who says traffic jams aren’t any fun?
A garbage truck caught fire in the O’Neill Tunnel Thursday afternoon, shutting down that portion of I-93 and stranding hundreds of drivers on the Zakim Bridge. Traffic stood at a standstill, but that didn’t stop drivers from finding ways to entertain themselves — including one man who decided to show off his handstand skills while the blaze burned in the tunnel.

He wasn’t the only one taking advantage of the situation. Many took the opportunity to get out of their cars and mingle.

Others tried to soak up some sun while they waited for the lanes to clear.

Still, not everyone was in a good mood about the delays.
