In the first video, we see a Russian man making the sign of the cross just before he attempts to walk across a busy road - and all for good reason as you can see in the second clip which, however, had a very surprising development, as it was the driver of the car who ended up making his cross instead…
Also, notice how carefully the driver approaches the next crosswalk on the road after his very brief Sunday school class.

Enter the world of the one of the worst fraudsters we've ever seen in action. Period. According to the person that uploaded the video, the incident took place somewhere in Korea. You can watch it right after the break.

Most people tend to freak out after an accident with their cars even if there are no fatalities or injuries, but not Mr. Roberto Ricci, who had the misfortune of wrecking his prized Aston Martin Rapide sports saloon during a joy ride.
If you see Ricci's super cool reaction after the crash, you'd think that the Rapide suffered only a few minor scratches, when reality is that the car was brutally bashed / borderline repairable write-off.
The incident occurred in late July when Ricci, who is the founder and owner of RRD, makers of surfboards, windsurfs, sails and kites, took Dave White, editor of Mpora, for a quick ride in his Rapide after a guided tour of his company's facilities in Italy.

Unluckily for this young lady that was out walking her dog along with a friend, a motorcycle did come crashing down on her, not from the sky but from several feet above the ground.
We don't know if this was a private dirt trail and the woman somehow wondered inside the path or if the biker was at fault for using the track. In any case, swoop down to watch the clip.

The person that uploaded the specific clip says that local police officers in the state of California crushed the vehicle after they confiscated it for illegal racing. We looked around on the web, but we couldn't find any information regarding this claim.
Sounds like a great story but before you rush to accept the Youtube poster's version of the incident, you may want to know that we discovered the same exact video uploaded in December of 2010, but there's no mention of the car being confiscated.
Furthermore, we also found another recent clip of a Hyundai Genesis sedan being destroyed by the same crusher (notice the background and the blue color on the metal structure).
