Worst mode of transport: Great White SharkNominee

January 14th, 2010 by Doug Lansky

This Discovery Channel diver decides to hitch a ride on the dorsal fin of a great white (about 2:30 min into the clip).  Wonder if travel insurance covers for this.

Japan makes talking toilet, travelers don’t quite rejoiceNominee

December 17th, 2009 by Doug Lansky

Don’t suppose it’s any weirder than K.I.T.T, the talking car.  And you don’t have to suffer through David Hasselhoff’s singing.

If you don’t speak Japanese, it’s hard to know what it’s saying. What the hell would a toilet say if it could speak?

Worst Tasering of TravelerNominee

December 9th, 2009 by Doug Lansky

robert dziekanski

Somehow a commission found that four Canadian police acted lawfully when they Tasered a nervous Polish traveler at the Vancouver airport, which resulted in his death minutes later. Robert Dziekanski, 40, died in late 2007 and an amateur video of the violent (see below) arrest zipped around the internets.

The report by the Commission for Public Complaints Against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the police officers “failed to adopt a measured, coordinated and appropriate response.” It also stated that the senior officer “failed to take charge.”

Dziekanski was an anxious first-time flyer, spoke only Polish and had just landed in Vancouver and couldn’t find his mother, who he’d been searching for for 10 hours in the baggage area.  What’s the police response to such a predicament? Taser him to death, what else.

Hard to imagine what this commission was thinking. These officers should clearly not be allowed to wear police badges and they idiot who tasered him should be looking at a manslaughter charge.

Watch the video and see for yourself. (violence starts about 5min into the video)

Worst Bus RideNominee

Looks like the driver manages to hit the guard rail toward the beginning of the clip, then everyone starts to panic. It seems he then forgets the emergency brake when parking towards the end of the clip.
