Video of a congested street in India
Here's a hypnotically captivating video of a congested street in India. The pedestrians, scooter drivers, impossibly tiny-car drivers, and huge-truck drivers seem to have ESP because everything flows so smoothly. Some band should use this for their music video.

Things to look out for:
* The pedestrian momentarily trapped between a car and a scooter
* The white car in the top right corner which goes the wrong wayOf course, India has one of the world's worst automobile accident statistics, but as I kid growing up in Mumbai, I crossed much busier streets and lived to tell the tale. (However, anyone else from India will tell you, I had it easy growing up in Mumbai, most other cities are worse!)
