Epic Chinese traffic jam "vanishes"

Just when foreign reporters decided to cover it live, the infamous Chinese traffic jam went "poof!".
Stories of truckers stuck for more than a week due to road construction abounded last week along with tidbits about people making money by feeding them.
We marveled at the drivers for "staying the course" instead of taking side roads.
It was thought that the jam would last for another week or more and that it would take time to dissipate but, aside from backups at toll plazas, there is no jam.

Now I wonder if it was just a new version of the infamous "flash mob"

Update: It's baaaack!
