Man dies after two bus accidents

A New Delhi labourer survived getting hit by a bus, only to get hit and killed by a second bus 20 minutes later, police said.

Raj Kumar was on his way to work on Wednesday morning when a bus hit him from behind.

Police officials said local residents took the injured man to the hospital inside a three-wheeler taxi.

Before they reached the hospital, however, Mr Kumar said he felt fine and jumped out of the vehicle to cross the road – when another bus hit him.

Police say both vehicles were Blueline buses, infamous for running red lights and speeding through the city’s free-for-all traffic.

The Hindustan Times newspaper said Blueline buses caused 118 deaths in 2008.

Crazy stuff..

Yo Mamma

Almost as good as....

Brazilian Marciana Silva Barcelos, 67, was on her way to the cemetery when the hearse she was travelling in was hit by another car.

The coffin was thrown forward by the impact and slammed into her head, killing her instantly.

The Ironing is Delicious.....

A speeding Blueline bus mows down a group of people crossing a road in South Delhi, killing five women and a man (Updated: and a child). Eight others, including some who were crossing the road, were injured when the bus ran into a crowd while trying to overtake a stationary Delhi Transport Corp (DTC) bus from the wrong side at Aali Goan, near Badarpur. Sunday's accident takes the number of people killed by the rampaging Blueline buses in the capital this year to 93.- Hindustan Times, 7 October 2007

How about this one:

The address gives away the gist of it, but here is the full story all the same:

Weather rocket kills man and blows up his body at cremation

A Chinese man originally thought to have been struck by lightning was in fact killed by a small weather rocket whose existence was only discovered when his body exploded during his cremation.


The body of Wang Diange, from the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia, was found in the wreckage of a house where he had been overseeing the wake of a previous family funeral, after mourners felt a loud explosion which took off half the roof.

As it was raining and thundery, they decided that the house, and Mr Wang in particular, had been struck by lightning. The police came to the same conclusion.

Further inquiries were made a few days later after Mr Wang's own funeral. As his body was being put into the cremation chamber, it blew up spectacularly, bursting the doors off the oven.

When the fire had been put out, the only clue as to what had happened was a small twisted piece of metal, which seemed to be the glowing remnants of a screw.

At first, local metallurgists were unable to determine what it was, though they noted it bore a military serial number. After a lengthy investigation, however, it was suggested it might be part of a shell casing.

Inquiries revealed that the rainfall on the day of the original disaster was triggered by the local weather bureau, which had been firing shells into the atmosphere to break up hail in order to protect the local tobacco crop.

Inside the shells were silver iodide, a chemical that helps to break up hail into rain.

Their own investigators concluded that one shell must have failed to explode, hit the house, and lodged in Mr Wang's body. There it passed unnoticed because of his extensive injuries, according to local newspaper reports.

As a result, and three years after Mr Wang died, his family have now received 80,000 yuan (£8,000) in compensation from the weather bureau.

Lived down the road from me.

He was seriously injured in a car crash on his stag night and never fully recovered. He couldn't speak or walk properly afterwards.
He was killed by the bus that mounted the path on Wellington Quay in 2004.

Ah his road-crossing abilities have to be called into question. There is no such thing as luck that bad!
