Comic-Con traffic drama: No VIP passes for this line
At 3:14 Thursday afternoon, the California Highway Patrol removed the SIG alert on I-5, thereby allowing Hollywood's exodus into Comic-Con to continue unabated.
The drama began a little after 5 am, when a tractor trailer flipped over and sparked a four-acre fire at Camp Pendleton, the major West Coast base of the United States Marine Corps that lies about 40 miles north of San Diego. While the blaze was doused within an hour, the traffic headaches had only begun.
Among the reported "missing" at Comic-Con today were "Kings" star Ian McShane, "Knight Rider" producer Doug Liman and "Push" star Dakota Fanning, along with an untold number of film and TV executives who wished, more fervently than ever, that they had easy access to a helicopter. -- Dana Harris
