Title: Weirdest Accidents, Oops! Post by: Ryan Martis on February 18, 2010, 01:06:06 AM Oops! Weirdest Accidents
We can only guess how some of them happened (the truth is often stranger than fiction) The following photographs document mostly the bizarre aftermath of car & truck accidents, when it's not as easy to guess what caused them. Sometimes even police can't figure out the truth. We'll start with the most mysterious ones. Every one of them may be turned into a hair-raising story: (http://800014.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/crazypics/weirdest_accidents_oops_01.jpg) Title: Re: Weirdest Accidents, Oops!

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. (more info) 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.
