Flying bear kills two Canadians in freak accident

Quote:

Two Canadians died instantly in a freak accident when a car hit a 440-pound black bear and sent the animal flying straight through the windshield of an oncoming vehicle, local media said on Wednesday.

The bear's body hit the 25-year-old driver and a 40-year-old man sitting behind her and then shot out of the back window. The bear also died.

I think I hear a Myth Busters episode in the making...but then, I think they already did one with a moose...or was it a deer?

in any case, what a sh!tty way to go

The myth: What happens if you toss a 440lb bear at a car windshield?

Yeah, I don't think we need Adam and Jamie for this one.

It's Busted. (Referring to the windshield)

I read this the first time as a flying beer - and thought - wow! it must have been flying really fast to kill 'em.

I am so glad I am not the only one who read beer! I was thinking about the parties my uncle would throw up there, yeah a lot of beer flew around!

Not entirely unheard of in Canada ;)

Someone committed suicide by jumping off the top of a building on Pine and 1st at 12:20 this afternoon. If you don't know the area, Pine is a street full of restaurants with outdoor seating. It was a beautiful day. I really can't fathom having that sort of lunchtime entertainment.

Fortunately, I got there at 2 and, while streets were still blocked off, the body was gone.
