Awesome: JetBlue Versus LA Carmageddon

As some of you already know, the massive traffic artery I-405 in Los Angeles will be shut down on Saturday, July 16, and the result is going to be traffic insanity.  Folks are already calling it all Carmageddon.  Dude, have you seen LA traffic on a "good" day?  The mind boggles.  Closing the 405 in mid-July?  Whose bright idea was this, anyway?  BUT!  Check out this ingenious initiative by JetBlue airlines!  
The airliner’s #OverThe405 program is offering flights, literally over Carmageddon, between Burbank’s Bob Hope International Airport and Long Beach Airport for only $4 each way on Saturday, July 16.
I'll raise a glass to entrepreneurial creativity.  As for Carmageddon, check out this hilarious Los Angeles area public service announcement (and I take no responsibility if you get the "CHiPs" theme song stuck in your head):
