I'll give you the plane.

Car wrecks are a 64th-penny per thousand...background radiation...

But taking on a train with a dumper truck...sheesh. Train big, everything else twisted mangled disassembled wreckage. And you just know that tomorrow someone will try the same stunt with a subcompact.

This has been circulating on a couple of the m/c forums I read.

Happened in Sweden, m/c was doing about 155 mph when it hit the car. Two in car died, obviously. For some strange reason I have always been fascinated by accident scene carnage, and I would love to see the scene photos. I wonder how many pieces the biker ended up in?

Caution: 200+ KB pics, I'm at work and have no way to reduce them, and no, there is no blood or gore.

Brakes none check. Steering none check. Helmet and shouldermapads none check. Brains none check. Ready begin. I can't help but notice that you seemed to have parked your motorcycle THROUGH my car.

STOOOOPIED.

At that speed anything that happens on a motorcycle is a right-now crash. No purpose in going that fast on the ground anyway.

FWIW: That's about 100mph over my motorcycle's redline.

No pictures, but latest accident jammed vehicle between rear-ending semi-trailer and a leading semi-less tractor. Car looked worse than Dee's photos; occupant extricated after one hour but died several days later.

A look at the wreckage indicates this might have been the aftermath of a motorcycle race. Not the branding decals.

Here's one for you ... titled "So, how did your day at the races go, dear?" or "How to make expensive piles of sheet metal shards and fiberglass fragments."

Just like every other human being it seems like. One little accident turns into one HUGE traffic jam with all the gawkers.
