أغرب الحوادث

We can only guess how some of them happened
(the truth is often stranger than fiction













How do you end up being run over by a plane?





Update:
This
was 2005 crash at Midway Airport in Chicago, where the airport is
literally in the middle of a city, with no room (compared to O'Hare
which has fields between the street and runways). In this case, the
pilot decided to land during a snowstorm, hit a ton of snow on the
runway and didn't have any time to stop before it was in the street.

What IS that thing, which totaled a nice bimmer?
(could be a promo for a movie, too) update: "The World is Not Enough" James Bond movie actually.





I'm
sure there is a background story behind this unfortunate incident.
After all you don't get your car totaled by a rolling concrete ball
every day:



A steel wrecking ball came off its cable and rolled down a hill into the middle of a small town in Pennsylvania. (more info)

Place:
Gallup, New Mexico. An unidentified member of the tow truck company
called to remove a truck from the overpass sits dangerously under the
truck as he attempts to get a strap under it.


Wrapped, squashed, and otherwise totaled:



This one already is a classic, still the story did not surface about it:



All that remains... and that's not much:







A dubious honor of being squashed by the world's biggest motorbike:




Totally sunk

Battling the elements: flash floods, sink holes, trees felled by a strong wind:

There is a deep sewer hole right under this nice car:

A bad day for the big shiny car on the right. For the car on the left, it's probably business as usual -




The road seems to be too small:

London buses are too big for their own good

This incident happened just recently; here is a background story:
"The
route is a recognized diversion route and drivers know to drive
straight through the middle. This one however chose to go in the left
lane" -






Some trucks can handle overload, others - can't

The worst is when your overload SHIFTS in the wrong direction:


Wrecks which refuse to die:




Accidents waiting to happen:




Accidents as... toys: sold only to aspiring bad drivers - to hone their skills of failing in a spectacular way.
