Accidents- horrible and not.

We think we are done with crime for a while, and should turn our attention to some accidents that, well..., grab our attention.

A two year girl was strangled by the pet python:

"A little girl's family pet has killed her. The Florida family's pet python somehow managed to wrap itself around the 2-year-old, crushing and choking her to death."

-Post Chronicle.

And this man tried to circumcise himself with a, well..., a nail-cutter (What did he think he was doing? Snap, it goes!)

A British man had to be rushed to a hospital emergency room after attempting to circumcise himself with nail clippers, the Telegraph reported Tuesday.

-Fox News.

Quite properly, the doctors advice us not to try it at home:

"This is something we would advise men never to attempt," a medic told the Telegraph. "The results can be quite horrific and long-lasting and have quite an affect on a man's sexual performance. Using a pair of nail clippers must have caused excruciating pain, even if he had had a few drinks beforehand."

I hope this was not intentional:

Authorities in Ohio say firefighters were called to a burning house used for training exercises the previous day. The Sylvania Township Fire Department said the fire, which was extinguished early Wednesday, was at a vacant house used Tuesday for training exercises that included two Sylvania.

Not every accident is lethal; some people do survive impossible situations:

A man had a miracle escape when he was hit by a 100mph train as he went to retrieve his mobile phone from the railtracks.

-Telegraph

Speaking about man colliding with train, here are two such incidents that were made possible by technology:

As you may recall, earlier this year a Bedford Hills, New York man trusted his GPS so much that he apparently thought it was perfectly reasonable to follow the directions directly onto a set of train tracks. That didn't exactly work out so well, for his car or the oncoming train. Now, as The Journal News reports, another man followed his GPS onto the very same set of tracks last night and, while he did get out in time to make a surely embarrassing 911 call, that apparently wasn't enough to prevent a commuter train from slamming into the car a few minutes later, causing an hour and a half delay but, thankfully, no injuries.
