The eels are actually hagfish. Disgusting deepwater creatures which feed on sunken carcasses at the bottom of the ocean. I think Mike Rowe/Dirty Jobs had an episode on them. Feel sorry for the owner of the sedan which got doused in hagfish slime.

Better than a hovercraft full of eels.

A buddy of mine had 4000 lbs of smelt on his pickup and the tailgate gave way on broadway in Eureka Cal. Dumped a couple of thousand pounds. He made it to the fishery and got out without getting caught.

....Truck carrying hagfish crashes and slimes car.....

Though it was a story about Hillary’s limo crashing.

“[T]he inshore hagfish, found in the Northwest Pacific,[27] is valued as food in Korea. The hagfish is kept alive and irritated by rattling its container with a stick, prompting it to produce slime in large quantities. This slime is used in a similar manner as egg whites in various forms of cookery in the region.”

just saw this on our local (seattle) news. The slime all over the highway and cars was like something out of Ghost Busters. Cool.

“Craven’s car then collided into a white Ford Focus driven by two women, Kristine Torp and Melissa Waage, from Norway.”

Were they conjoined twins?

Same thing in Milwaukee today. Truck carrying animal entrails overturned on freeway.
