*Some NSFW language
From Wikipedia: Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, born 1967, are a pair of Swedish twins who came to national attention in the United Kingdom in 2008 after an apparent episode of folie à deux, which resulted in unique footage of insanity on the M6 motorway, and the killing of Glenn Hollinshead. No drugs or alcohol were involved in any of the incidents. Their actions have never been explained, other than by a rare induced delusional disorder which caused the pair to be temporarily insane.
….
The pair began to walk down the central reservation of the M6 motorway before attempting to cross the motorway, causing chaos to the traffic and picking up minor injuries in the attempt. Their elder brother stated in a Swedish newspaper that his sisters were fleeing maniacs who were chasing and intended to gang rape the twins. Caught on CCTV cameras, the police arrived to investigate and paramedics were also at the scene to treat the women. Along with the police came a small television crew who happened to be filming Motorway Cops with one of the officers. Sabina told an officer, later at the police station, “We say in Sweden that an accident rarely comes alone. Usually at least one more follows – maybe two.”Standing on the hard shoulder of the motorway, the police spoke to the twins when, without warning, Ursula ran in front of an oncoming 40-tonne truck travelling at around 60-70 mph. Sabina then followed her into the road and was hit by a Volkswagen Polo, again at high speed. Both survived. Ursula in particular was fortunate not to be killed instantly. Instead, she was immobilised as the lorry had crushed her legs. Sabina spent fifteen minutes unconscious.
The pair were treated by the paramedics; however both women resisted medical aid, fighting and screaming at the paramedics and police officers. Sabina shouted “They’re going to steal your organs” and “I recognise you – I know you’re not real”, amongst other things.
Sabina, to the surprise of those around her, got to her feet, whereupon a policewoman attempted to persuade her to stay on the ground and receive further medical attention. Sabina instead struck the officer and crossed the central reservation again, running into traffic on the other side of the motorway. Emergency workers and several members of the general public then caught up with her, restrained her and carried her to a waiting ambulance, at which point she was sedated. Ursula was also taken to hospital, where she spent some weeks.
Worth a view. If you have the time, watch all four segments of this strange series of incidents.
Meh. Most people are sane and reasonable with only their own little personal foibles. That still leaves enough people for at least two of every kind of crazy you can think of.
Back to “The most uttered phrases in movies.” Much better subject.
And combining the two, we might have: “The craziest most unbelievable BS repeated phrases in ….xyz”
In politics: I nominate: “The people have spoken” or maybe “Let me be perfectly honest.” Yea, too many to list when they are always talking and always lying.
bobbo WTF does “Back to “The most uttered phrases in movies.” Much better subject.” have to do with the topic at hand?
——————
Sounds like someone dosed these gals, slipped a lil something in their food/drink.
#2. I was wondering that myself. I think somebody slipped bobbo something in his corn flakes “in the mornin'”.
Well, submissive to the dominant group will as expressed as ever, I’ll admit I’m just very drawn to that other thread. I remember when I thought I was being quite clever to say: “We aren’t in Kansas anymore.” I think the very first such clever utterance of mine was: “Denial aint just a river in Egypt.”
Then years later, you recognize your “wisdom” is a worn out cliche. Ha, ha.
So, the connection was: cliches. And what else is a video with crazy people doing crazy things and people wanting to “understand it” beyond crazy?
HEY!!!! At least I didn’t hog the limelight and call them “crazy ass progressive bitches.”
I leave that to Alfie.
What does make them “super twins” btw? Just because they are good looking blondes? More cliches. Our Culture: hard to look past any cliche you name.
Have I ever mentioned everything is connected to everything else? Just a matter of degree?
Yea, Verily.
“HEY!!!! At least I didn’t hog the limelight and call them “crazy ass progressive bitches.”
And for that, I thankee and would buy you a beer.
#4. You obviuosly didn’t watch the doc.
If you get run over by a semi doing 60 MPH and live to tell the tale, I will hereafter refer to you as super bobbo.
The other girl is hit head on, gets up and fights the cops, ultimately jumps from a 40 foot bridge, lands on a moving car and is still alive.
That’s super hooman to me. What did you do today, I mean besides drink beer and annoy your cat?
Before I watched the last part of the doc
I was thinking to myself Brain washing and
mind control ( being told to do something
and then offing yourself)?But I can also
commit (excuse the pun)that twins could have
the same disease and play off each other.
In any case “Too bizarre for words”is an
under statment.
They suffer from BSC syndrome.
Bat Shit Crazy
well after watching the english version of the keystone cops there, i’m wonder how they protect anyone in the uk… amazing..
i bet that truck driver and the and the drivver of the car are gonna sue sue sue..
these two were let out of a “hospital” … they should have been kept away from the outside, they clearly have severe mental problems.. what standards do they follow in in the uk to determine that people are a danger to themselves and others.. those two should have been cuffed and locked up in a patrol car to keep them from harming themselves and others..
#6–McCullough==god protects the very young, the drunk, and the crazies. ((And Germans wearing seat belts on the autobahn!)) So, I did not see “super” in the video, just crazy, but super is fair enough. As I was implying, I quite often miss the cliche and thank you for the explanation.
What did I do today? Thought about all the things I should be doing and decided it was too cold. Think I’ll grab a beer and think about my lack of productivity.
Thanks, and cheers!!
There were a couple of ID twins in the old lit that were about as evil as it gets written up in the old texts. By chance they were also female. They were African American and had their own private language.
So way out mad as a hatter whacked out homicidal twins are known. Sometimes it can be a real good idea to separate twins.
People, it’s fake.
Alfred, are you a time traveler from the middle ages or something? Demonic possession? Really?
Some of the crap you spout in other threads makes me think you’re seriously need as much psychiatric help as those women did. Or exorcism. Your choice.
I think in this case, a abduction by aliens could even be considered.
If it was not drugs then what? Very interesting story and possible the key is that they are twins.
Guys, you’re all nuts…
Hallucinogenic drug relapse, maybe?
Merry Xmas to all!
Makes you wonder if the Twins weren’t part of some drug testing, that got covered up when it went wrong? Or something got loose in the water supply, that effect them more than anyone else?
If they are identical, they’re identically UGLY twins. Big animal features, big noses, small jaws. They look like aliens to me.
(And, not Swedish to UK aliens)
What a poorly written blog entry. It mentions that “Glenn Hollinshead” was killed but not how, when or why.
If you aren’t going to explain that detail, leave it out.
Maybe the video explains it but I don’t watch videos of people trying to kill themselves.
A Madness Shared by Two is the true story that exposes the police cover-up involved in the Sabina and Ursula Eriksson case and the murder of Glenn Hollinshead – To be released on the 28 October 2012 in eBook and paperback
A Madness Shared by Two, is not only the true untold story about the lives of Sabina and Ursula Eriksson, alongside the murder of Glenn Hollinshead, based on a critique re-examination of the BBC’s Madness in the Fast Lane documentary that had 7 million viewers [with a conservative estimate of around a further 15 million people having since watched this film via the internet and on websites such as YouTube],glued to their TV screens watching the twin sisters propelling themselves into the fast lane of the oncoming traffic on the UK’s-M6 motorway, as Ursula manages to throw herself under the wheels of a 40ft articulated lorry travelling at 60mph, that seems to swallow her up and spit her lifeless looking body back out of its rear end. It is also the result of a thorough investigation into what might have really happened on those fateful days that led up to this tragic slaying of an innocent man. We challenge the “Official Storyline” and expose what really occurred just hours before M6 dash, for it is here for the first time we expose the Eriksson sisters were “arrested” under the Mental Health Act, though this vital caught on film evidence was edited out of the original BBC films. This will come as a great surprise to many people who questioned; ‘…how was it possible Sabina could have been released from hospital after only five hours’ following their ‘suicide attempt’ on the M6? We also reveal that the coroner’s report shows that the injuries inflicted on Glenn, was done so by ‘two’ weapons, it’s always been believed “Sabina” used one, and that it’s highly likely there were more than one person who killed him and that Sabina could be totally innocent. Yet this obvious evidence seems to have been brushed under the carpet, or at the very least, it was never challenged. We explain how these twins were very likely embroiled in some kind of major drugs smuggling ring and that they had been under “Obbo” [police observation] prior to the M6 incident and was probably so for quite some period of time. As a result of our findings, legal action is now being sought and brought against the police and other related authoritative bodies by the Hollinshead family.

Well they removed the video, by the time I saw this. Anyone got pix?
