Twisted Sisters Ch 5

[IAmKerplunk]

Has anyone watched this? I’ve only watched the first episode (of 2) it is so strange how one of the sisters had so few injuries despite being hit by vehicles more than once. She was something else when running about on the motorway but then she seemed so normal when taken to the police station.
Also, I know they had to keep the sisters safe on the motorway but imagine being in a tailback for over 10 miles and nothing was moving! It was just all
so strange. The poor police who had to watch them running into traffic - and then to do it again! I can’t believe she only got 1 day sentence and was then released straightaway for time served on remand.
I vaguely remember this from the time but I assumed both sisters had died

It is mental isn't it?!
I've watched both and still trying to lift my jaw off the floor...the whole thing is just nuts. Hit by a vehicle for a second time, unconscious for 10 minutes then wake up and go all Incredible Hulk on the police before running into the traffic again! She definitely should have been sentenced to more than 1 day for all the mayhem that she caused the emergency services and general public.

I’m just about to watch the second episode. If this was a drama made for tv it would be said there is no way this could happen!

The poor drivers who hit them both too - even though there was nothing they could do they must have been traumatised.

Last summer I was driving down to Bournemouth and the motorway was at a standstill due to someone on the central reservation - it was madness!

Absolutely crazy events. Why was she released from hospital after such a serious collision bearing in mind the seemingly suicidal intentions?! Why wasn't she kept in for observation or kept in custody due to causing a serious road traffic accident? She didn't have a fixed abode what on earth were the hospital staff thinking.

So awful that a man was then stabbed, maybe a cautionary tale to anyone not to offer a bed to a stranger.

I zoned out towards the end of ep 2 it got so repetive, I really don't think the accident clip needed to be played over and over.

I did think it was strange that the victim so keenly offered a bed to a stranger - the person who said ‘it’s just that sort of town’ I thought was trying to ensure it came across there were no nefarious intentions from the victim. Of course he never deserved to get stabbed.
Did anyone else think it weird that someone could phone their mate who works at a hospital and ask them to get info on a patient?
They definitely showed the motorway clips far too many times - absolutely no need.

I still haven’t managed to watch ep 2 yet - was there a clear explanation/resolution?

Am I awful though that I did laugh (with disbelief) when she was in the police station and they asked her if she had thoughts of harming herself? Apart from running over both sides of a motorway multiple times, getting hit by cars and getting up to try again - no, definitely no thoughts of self harm. And the hospital and then the courts still let her go!

It was awful. I was so shocked at the accident footage, it made me cry. I was involved in a fatal car crash, so perhaps it hit a nerve.

It’s an absolute tragedy for all involved, especially the poor guy killed by one of those nut jobs.

But she shouldn’t have been discharged/released. How she was acting on the motorway was so far beyond normal - as in she wasn’t claiming mental health issues and trying to get away with anything - something was obviously very seriously wrong. no way should she have been left to go out on her own with not even a place to stay. I would say the hospital and the police failed her. The hospital more do.

I can’t imagine being involved in a fatal collision and I can only imagine the memories it brought up for you. I feel for all those drivers who couldn’t avoid hitting either sister.

I watched this last night and went through so many emotions watching it - I was in tears as I watched them running into the traffic and getting hit - in tears for them but also for the poor drivers and other witnesses.
What followed left me so gobsmacked that I had to rewatch it to even begin to contemplate that it actually happened.
Towards the end, they showed the horrific motorway footage again but in slower motion and you see Ursula (in green) run into the path of the HGV and you see Sabina (in red) not even look and then she glances at what's happened to Ursula (who by now is under the HGV) and with no emotion at all, she then runs into the path of other traffic.

Everything that followed and all of the other attempts like Sabina whacking herself in the head with a hammer repeatedly and jumping off a road bridge was just something that I'm not sure I understand how she sustained barely any injuries from any of the incidents.

I watch and read a lot of horror but this real case terrified me more than any horror movie could and I think if you watched/read it as a plot, you'd dismiss it as impossible.

Even scarier, at the end, the producers admitted that they don't know where either woman is - I genuinely hope they both got the help they needed and I can't understand how Sabina wasn't sectioned after the motorway incident. Or how no more came of how both Sabina and Ursula were convinced that their organs were going to be harvested.

A devastating story and especially for poor Glenn Hollinshead who only tried to do right and act out of kindness and he lost his life as a result.

I agree with all the above - it would have been better to have edited it down to one 90min programme (or even an hour?). The motorway scenes actually became tedious 😟

'I can't understand how Sabina wasn't sectioned after the motorway incident'

Yes I may have missed a bit but there didnt seem to be any focus or blame apportioned for the mismanagement post incident. Surely hurling yourself in front of traffic would have necessitated being sectioned and not being discharged. That would have been of more relevance than playing the accident scene over and over again.

They are a pair of psychos and no one knows where they are .
