Oscar Meyer Wienermobile Crash

Oh, the humanity! The crash started a small file, engulfing the community with the savory flavor of the finest beef sausages ever made by mankind.



Sorry, no, there was no fire. Left in drive, the wienermobile wrangler stepped on the gas and lept forward into the house when she tried to back up.

House Crushed By Ship

You know, when you buy insurance on a home, being crushed by a cargo ship usually isn't a hig priority; these people apparently beat the odds.

Fly That Plane!

Those of you scared of flying should know that nobody who flew on a big-jet airline died in an aircraft accident last year. I could make more cracks about who you should be scared of (Homeland Security, pilots with guns, that fat guy in the seat next to you), but I think it needs to be pointed out: compared to all the other ways people died last year, none of 'em had anything to do with a big plane.

Why We Have Guardrails

First, consider this impressive accident -- the truck was actually travelling from right-to-left in the photo, but hit the railing and did an end-over-end to come to a rest...



...but it's far better it hit the rail than what is off the bottom edge of the photo, seen at the bottom of this page. The truck driver should feel very, very lucky.
