- Story Text: FOG AND A 24-HOUR STRIKE BY TRANSPORT WORKERS BROUGHT CHAOS TO ROME TODAY (THURSDAY). THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, WHO NORMALLY RELY ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT, TOOK THEIR OWN CARS INTO THE CITY, SNARLING TRAFFIC ALREADY BLOCKED BY FOG.
THE ADDITIONAL HARDSHIP OF FOG WAS UNEXPECTED - THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN 41 MEASURABLE FOGS IN THE CITY IN THE PAST TEN YEARS.
ONLY A FEW OF THE ARMY LORRIES, USUALLY EMPLOYED DURING TRANSPORT STRIKES, MANAGED TO FULFIL THEIR TASK.
THE STRIKE ALSO AFFECTED ELECTRICITY AND WATER WORKERS, AND MANY AREAS OF THE CITY WERE WITHOUT POWER AND WATER.
