Beautiful Wrecks

Check out this documentary trailer for Crash Course: The Accidental Art of Arnold Odermatt. Odermatt was a Swiss police photographer who documented crash scenes from 1939 to 1993, resulting in the haunting stills that the teaser gives you a glimpse of. Not much info yet on the forthcoming documentary, or its release date, but we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, there are at least two collections of Odermatt’s car-wreck photos available for purchase on Amazon.

A friend had an old VW Beetle. That’s one car in which I would never want to be in the front seat during a collision. Even with the seat belt (lap belt) on, my forehead could touch the windshield.
