The CRAZIEST news story EVER?

You may think the title is sensationalist... and then you'll read the following...


Watch this video... its baffling. I tried to write a description but I just can't find the words... suffice to say 2 Swedish twins run into on-coming traffic on the freeway. Multiple times. And get hit. Multiple times. And survive.

THEN, if that's not enough, several days later the un-hurt(!) twin goes on to stab a 54 year old man to death and jump off an overpass into more traffic... and survive(!?!).
