On the door of a Moscow hotel room: 

     If this is your first visit to the USSR, you are welcome to it. 

A van carrying a dozen movie stuntmen on the way to a film location in the 
mountains spun out of control on the icy road, crashed through a 
guardrail, rolled down a 90-foot embankment, turned over, and burst into 
flames.

There were no injuries. 

An American teenager ended up in hospital
because of serious head wounds received
from an oncoming train.
When asked about how he received the injuries,
the lad told the police that he was simply
trying to see how close he could get his head
to a moving train before he was hit.
