Nothing is as fascinating as an unexplained accident

New batch of strange mis-happenings, weird situations, and often maddeningly mysterious wrecks, where we keep asking ourselves: "How on earth could that happen?"

Surprise! Say a little prayer, thanking your windshield:





The "flying" manhole lids could also present a problem:



A giant fork falling out of the sky? Well, an urban art, actually:

This guy may cause some serious accidents. I hope he realizes that -




A Moment Before...





Admittedly, the picture above is almost certainly the truck being towed. Still, it's pretty creepy.

Oh, the sense of impending sinking! This car is doomed -



The following picture was sent to us by Edo Engel. He says: "During the night, a major water pipe below the pavement cracked. Since the soil in our area is sandy, the sand was flushed away through the pipe quite easily, creating an ever expanding cavity" -

These guys couldn't even park a bicycle, it seems:
