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.

Horrifying moment ‘killer' slashes cops with sword after he ‘knifed boy, 14, to death in ferocious rampage'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the horrifying moment an alleged killer slashed at cops with a sword after he knifed a 14-year-old boy to death in the street, a court heard. Marcus Arduini Monzo, 37, ambushed Daniel Anjorin, 14, on April 30 last year as he made his way to school in Hainault, East London. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Marcus Monzo could be seen attacking officers with a sword Credit: PA 7 He was Tasered and handcuffed after the 20-minute rampage Credit: PA 7 Monzo allegedly stabbed Daniel Anjorin to death Credit: Central News Jurors heard Monzo also tried to kill female cop Yasim Mechem-Whitfield, Henry De Los Rios Polina, Sindy Arias and Donato Iwule in the horror. Footage released by police shows the chilling moments after the rampage as brave officers attempted to stop Monzo. He was also captured striking an ambulance with the sword as paramedics arrived to treat Daniel. As an officer attempts to help the victim on the ground, Monzo then approaches while wielding the weapon. Cops tell him to "drop it" but the so-called "mystic" replies: "Do you believe in God?" He then flees through nearby gardens before being chased down an alleyway by police. The footage shows a brave cop attempt to approach Monzo, who then slashes at them with a sword as an officer yells "police officer stabbed". He also stabs another cop in the arm as they desperately try to block the sword with a baton. The 20-minute horror only comes to an end when Monzo is Tasered and then handcuffed in a back garden. The court heard the "talented" martial artist spent nearly £1,000 on swords in December 2023 before cancelling the order. Moment 'killer' brands sword 'sexy' before he 'murdered, 14, boy in rampage' He then bought two handmade Katana swords for £427.80 on February 21, 2024, with delivery coming through to his home in early April. Previous footage played to jurors showed Monzo branding a sword "freaking sexy" as he lunged around holding the weapon. The court heard he killed and skinned his own cat at home before setting off on the rampage after believing he was in the "Hunger Games". He carried out the attack with "murderous intent" over a 20-minute period on April 30, it was said. The Old Bailey heard Donato was the first to be attacked when Monzo "deliberately" drove into him in his van. As he was knocked into a garden, Monzo allegedly got out the van and slashed his neck with the Samurai sword. Donato managed to escape as emergency crews were scrambled to the residential street. Meanwhile, Daniel was walking to school "minding his own business" when his life was "snuffed out in an instant". Monzo allegedly used "extreme" force on the youngster, who suffered a "devastating and unsurvivable chopping injury" to his neck and face. The court heard PC Mechem-Whitfield arrived at the scene of the horror and "bravely pursued" Monzo through alleyways after he tried to flee. The officer was "struck three times" and suffered significant injuries in the horror. Monzo then burst into a house to attack a couple in their bedroom as their child slept next to them, it was said. He shouted out 'do you believe in God?' about four times then began to attack Henry De Los Rios Polania with the sword before attempting to stab his wife. Jurors were told their lives were only spared because the youngster woke up and started to cry. NHS systems were checked and revealed there were no documented mental health concerns or access to mental health services by Monzo. The court heard Monzo does not dispute he carried out the attacks. But the jury will have decide "why he did so and what his state of mind was" at the time. His brother Eduardo told the court Monzo had consumed ayahuasca – a hallucinogenic plant-based drink commonly used in South America – during a stay at a remote retreat in the Amazon. He said he was "concerned" as the drink has caused a "negative response" in some people. Eduardo said his brother began to withdraw from his family when he returned from the retreat. The court heard no trace of DMT – the hallucinogen found in ayahuasca – was detected in Monzo's system. But prosecutors said his "conduct was brought about by self-induced intoxication in the form of drugs" that led to a "psychotic disorder". Monzo, of West Beckton, Newham, denies murder, four counts of attempted murder and one of wounding with intent. The trial continues. 7 Monzo slashed at officers in an alleyway Credit: PA 7 He also slashed at an ambulance as it arrived to treat Daniel Credit: PA 7 Monzo was eventually stopped by police in someone's garden Credit: PA
