Traffic Camera
Believe it or not the man in the intersection lived! He was saved by the imprint that the PT Cruiser left in the driver's side of the Subaru. When the Subaru went over him it came down on him right where the dent in the car was made and did not crush him.

Paddington
I can't find an English version episode, but I do remember watching this in preschool and loving it. In the books, Paddington Bear was found at Paddington Station wearing a duffle coat, hat and Wellington boots, carrying a suitcase containing an empty jar of marmalade and wearing a label around his neck that reads "Please look after this bear, thank you."
Unfortunately, Warner Bros. and Harry Potter producer David Heyman have announced plans to bring the children's book star Paddington Bear to screens. Variety says the production will likely blend live-action with a CGI Paddington in the same style as such cinematic classics as Garfield, Stuart Little, and Garfield. Which should lend the character a nightmarishly disturbing, not-quite-real quality.
UFOs
Created by Barzolff is a 35-year-old professional animator who attended one of the most prestigious art schools in France and has a decade of experience with computer graphics and commercial animation.
It took Barzolff a total of 17 hours to make both the Haiti and Dominican Republic videos. He did it all by himself using a MacBook Pro and a suite of commercially available
The videos, he said, were intended as research for a feature film project he's been working on with Partizan, the France-based production company responsible for, among others, Michel Gondry's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
When contacted to verify the story, "Eternal Sunshine" producer Georges Bermann said it was all true, and that Barzolff was "an absolute genius" who could "make anything look entirely real."
To prove that he was truly behind the videos, Barzolff agreed to provide the L.A. Times with a new spacecraft video. Called "Proof," the video depicts a small version of one of the spacecraft floating above a Paris street. As the camera pans over, the viewer sees two elderly women at a cafe. One of whom is holding a remote control device. Humorously, of course, this video makes use of computer graphics as well.
The movie Barzolff is working on for the big screen is about two guys who create a UFO hoax so realistic that it spirals out of their control. "For better or worse," said Barzolff, who cited being "overwhelmed" by the response to his video as one of the reasons he didn't want to go public with his name.
Barzolff stressed the videos were not intended as a viral marketing ploy. His movie is still in the idea phase, and he created the hoax strictly as a "sociological
I love UFO footage and there's tons of it on YouTube and it's easier than ever to create your own with an inexpensive digital camera and free 3D software available any where, it's awesome!

Superhumans
Just who are these 'super humans?' In Switzerland, meet a woman who combines senses so that she can 'taste' music; in Turkey, a painter compared with Renaissance master Brunelleschi, was born without eyes; and in the Netherlands, a man who possesses the inexplicable power to withstand extreme cold - but how?Is it possible for karate masters to zap each other with invisible energy? Can Indian "miracle men" and Sufi mystics mutilate their bodies and feel no pain? Can masters of Hindu Transcendental Meditation fly? Do superpowers really exist?
These super powers seemingly transcend what it means to be human, how we use our natural senses and our physical limitations, watch this new series to see incredible footage on these individuals and their stories.
PREMIERES NOVEMBER 4 @ 8:00 PM/ET on the Discovery Channel.
