But social media has been buzzing with reaction to the now viral clip for an unexpected reason.
The twin sisters, who were wearing matching outfits for the TV interview, completed each other's sentences word-for-word as they told their story.
Known as the "Twinnies", the pair stunned the internet with their jaw-dropping shared wavelength.
Social media users have gone as far to call it a "top five interview of all time."
The clip has now been viewed on X more than three million times.
The reported carjacking incident took place in Queensland - which the pair witnessed first hand.
A 22-year-old woman is reported to have died from injuries sustained in a crash, and another man was shot.
Introducing the twins' interview, a news report sets up the witness testimony in a conventional, straightforward manner.
The newsreader says: "Two sisters have told of how their mother and a man raced to help when the carjacked SUV rolled on Steve Irwin Way, only to find the gun-wielding car thief emerging from the wreck."
Recounting the terrifying incident, the sisters explained: "One guy, he was up there with our mum.

"And he went up there, he was coming back down towards us and he goes 'run, he's got a gun'.
"And our heart started to pound. And I said, 'Oh, mum, where's mum?'. And poor mum was stuck up there."
While one of the pair recounts the story, the other repeatedly joins in word-for-word, fully in sync with her sister's account.
They described how their mum went to the car to help only to find man with a gun.
The pair continued: "She goes, 'Are you alright?' Because he had blood all over his face. She goes, 'I'm here to help'.
"Mum was distracting him to make him look the other way and he looked the other way and mum ran into the bush behind the fence and the guy goes, 'I'll find you and I'll shoot you'."
The twins were unharmed in the horrifying incident.
They run an animal rescue charity and were mentored by the late Steve Irwin.
It is not the first time they have showed off their remarkable shared wavelength on TV.
The pair were interviewed by Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain back in 2016, where they spoke in sync with each other.
Morgan called it "one of the greatest interviews I've ever conducted in my life."
The reported carjacking incident took place in Sunshine Coast on at around 12.48pm local time on Monday.
A 41-year-old Tewantin man has been charged with 15 offences.
"Investigations are continuing with further charges likely," a police statement reads.
