Freaky accidents?

Googbus

One of our favourite geeky sites, Google sightseeing, has produced some more stunning images, this time of what looks like a freaky accident.

Or even two.

We're not sure whether those people spend their entire lives zooming in on every square metre of our planet, or whether they rely on their readers to do it for them, but what they always seem to find are snippets of everyday life in various corners of the globe.

Like it or no, it is - in its geekiness and intrusiveness - somehow fascinating.

The latest pics on Google Sightseeing show an overturned double-decker bus, which apparently crushed another car in an eerily empty car park in Heiligensee, not far from Berlin in Germany.

But what is really freaky is the fact that the same satellite image is showing a train 'collision' on what seems to be the shortest railway line in the world.

Either the location was used by a Hollywood film crew which forgot to clean up after shooting, or this is officially the freakiest accident-prone  spot on earth.
