Cars flying through air in Baltimore

UPDATE #2 Drivers are out of their cars and have gone into a meeting room to talk with officials about what to do. We would be surprised if they run anymore this session. Drivers were talking about it hurting their backs when they are landing over the bumps and it's going to break half shafts if something isn't done. Talk now is possible paving the bumps, grinding or reinstalling the chicane. Paving seems to be the best scenario but could not be done until tonight.
