Pedestrian Lauren Rosenberg, who was injured by a motorist whilst following Google Maps direction which she had downloaded, has a lawsuit seeking more than $100,000 in the US District Court in Utah against Google claiming that they had supplied unsafe directions. The lawsuit also names the motorist which hit her.
In short, the lady downloaded google maps on her cellphone and then looked up for a direction, she says it led her to a street with no place for pedestrians, and then she crossed the street and got hit by a speeding vehicle. COME ON! google didn't tell her " Oh yeah, cross that way I'll wait for the Lulz" Damn!

USA Man on a mission to behead Bin Laden arrested by Pakistan police (june 2010)
After suffering a personal loss during the September 11th attacks, 50 year old construction worker Gary Faulkner from California decided to go to Afghanistan to hunt down the Al Qaeda leader and assassinate him however his plans have now come to an abrupt halt after being caught by Pakistani police.
Gary Faulkner had arrived in Chitrali town of Bumburate on June 3 and stayed in a local hotel where he was assigned a police guard, which is customary for foreigners visiting remote parts of Pakistan, however he gave his guard the slip and checked out early to begin his hunt for Bin Laden. Officers who had been looking for him since he gave his guard the slip arrested Faulkner as he crept through a remote forest, when he was arrested he was found to be carrying a pistol as well as a 40-inch sword, night vision goggles and a book of Christian works and teachings.
The Pakistani Daily Dawn newspaper said “Faulkner acknowledged to police that he wanted to ‘decapitate Osama bin Laden, and told them he had visited Pakistan seven times, and this was his third trip to Chitral.”
According to Faulkner’s brother Scott, catching Bin Laden was his passion and he said, “Our military has not been able to track Osama down yet. It’s been 10 years, its easier as a civilian, dressed in the local dress, to infiltrate the inside, the local people, gain their confidence and get information and Intel that you couldn’t get as an American soldier, Navy SEAL, whoever you might be”
