I'm not sure that this is what the Discovery Science channel was going for - they were doing a segment on the dangers of driving while tired, and this is what popped up on screen - if it's not clear, that smoky area is a nasty car crash. This happens as the show - "Understanding" (an episode on sleep) was talking about how many people die in car crashes due to falling asleep at the wheel. Then we get this:

Ironic Car Crash Pic

If you can't read the text in orange, it says: "They've gone places we've only dreamt of... capturing worlds beyond our imagination". Whoo boy :/

The process we used to get this image to my blog was a story in itself. First, my wife captured a few minutes of the show in our ReplayTV. Then we used DVArchive version 2.1 to download the show to her PC. Then she played the show on the PC until the relevant segment (above), and screen captured it. From there it went to my PC, where I cropped the rest of the screen, resized the image, and sharpened the text rendering a bit. Whew!
