In 2008, BBC cameras filmed two Swedish sisters throwing themselves into traffic on the M6. When it was shown on BBC One, nearly 7 million viewers were glued to their screens, and millions more watched it later on YouTube.

The footage was shocking. One previewer wrote "On no account miss this documentary. It opens with what is perhaps the most extraordinary footage I've seen on TV".

But this amazing footage was only part of an even more incredible story, one which could not be told at the time for legal reasons.

Now, two years later, this documentary reveals the full story of the hours just before the cameras captured that motorway footage, and the even more chilling story of what happened over next 72 hours, which left one of the sisters fleeing the scene of a crime, after she had stabbed a man through the chest.

Those who were at the centre of this fascinating legal case, including the police and Crown prosecution service, reveal the complex issues involved in both bringing charges and taking this disturbing case to trial.

A leading criminal psychiatrist, Dr. Nigel Eastman, explains the difficulties the judicial system has in achieving justice and deciding punishment when dealing with mental illness. He explains the possible causes of the womens' behaviour, and why, in his view, it could happen again.

  • Why were they going to London? Why did they try to kill themselves when stopped by police? Why did they believe that the police were going to steal their organs? How does one person get hit three times by a speeding car and still manage to fight six people? How does one person have their legs crushed and does not feel any pain? Are they just crazy swedish twins, or something more sinister? I think someone was targeted in London to be assassinated by these two through mind-control MKULTRA made.

  • Thumbs up for the title! - Eminem - Fast lane :):):)

  • @akatits the bbc wouldn't have broadcasted it, i can tell you for a fact that it is not possible to survive something like that without being on some sort of bodily enhancing drug, as you can notice when she is realised from hospital she is calm, im not saying i know that, but that is my assumption, which many people would agree with is correct...

  • @akatits Nooooo! really! how wise thou art.

  • @mrzyFTW no one is questioning what pcp does, but they had no toxins in their system, no paraphenalia on their persons, or drugs in their possession.
