Hit By A Bus

You may or may not have 12 minutes to watch movie characters getting hit by buses.  Then again, maybe you do; I certainly did not.  LOL.

This just made me realize there are so many movies I haven't seen.

Road Fatalities USA

It's not so cool that so many road fatalities happen every year.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 369,629 people have died on America's roads between 2001 and 2009. 

Mapping experts at ITO World have taken this information, and produced this powerful map using OpenStreetMap. You can zoom in to any particular part of the country or you can simply search for your town. Each dot represents a life. 

I used this interactive map earlier to see how many people died in proximity to where I lived, and it's mind-boggling to me how I didn't know these people died just feet from our home, or a nearby store. Click on the pic, to see how many people have lost their lives in your neighborhood, you'd be surprised.  Just looking at that huge mass of dots in Houston, Texas is crazy.

What a Hot Mess: How Did He Survive?

This is a question not even the guy in the video below can answer (probably because he was on drugs).  

The National Geographic channel has a new show that Ryan and I  may have to record, it is called "The Indestructibles".  It's a show that discovers how anyone can survive a "more than sure" fatal accident, fully recover from their injuries, and live to tell about it.

We missed the show on Sunday night, but it's airing again this Thursday.  The episode is called "Flying Car Crash" and airs at 9:30 PM Central Time.

Here is the description to the trailer you're about to see. What a Hot Mess!

A normal morning in Ohio turns disastrous when a driver speeding down the highway loses control. The car barrels down the grassy median, collides with the guardrail and is instantly airborne. It slams into the center post of the overpass and explodes into thousands of small pieces. A nearby witness finds the bloodied and mangled body of 19-year-old Brennan Eden. Miraculously, he completely recovers. Eden has no memory of the accident and no idea of how he survived. But he is on a journey to find out how with the help of a stunt driving team and a crash investigator. Through a series of experiments that re-enact the crash, well uncover what caused the car to go airborne. Experts also reveal how Brennan survived the accident, which would have killed most drivers.
