Watch: Identical twin sisters go viral after giving surreal TV interview in unison
A set of Australian twin sisters have proved than twin-telepathy is a thing after a viral interview where they recounted a carjacking to a local news station.
The 51-year-old identical twins appeared on 7News Queensland on Monday to share their witness account of the SUV carjacking.

They revealed how their mother had tried to help a man who had blood all over his face only to be threatened by the gun-wielding man.
Speaking almost entirely in-sync, the sisters detailed how they had been cleaning when they heard a big bang and thought 'another car accident.'
They said, in unison, that they dropped everything and 'went running out of the front.'
Recalling the story, the sisters even gasped at the exact same time as they explained how a man had told them, 'Run, he's got a gun.'
Parts of the interview saw one twin take the lead, with the other joining in for the end of the sentences and vice versa.
The three-minute interview with the twins has gone viral, with many ranking it amongst the best interviews of all time. Twin sisters Bridgette and Paula Powers appearing on Good Morning Britain in 2016. Pic: ITV
Speaking following the viral interview, the women told SBS News that they have tried to speak separately but can't.
They said: 'We don't know how it happens. Some people say, 'Do you rehearse a conversation?' and we said: 'No, how can you rehearse a conversation?'
The sisters have run the Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue in Landsborough for the past 25 years, where they work to rehabilitate pelicans and seabirds who have been injured.
It's not the first time the sisters have gone viral with the twins frequently appearing on Australian TV.
Eight years ago, the sisters appeared on Good Morning Britain with then-presenter Piers Morgan immediately unable to control his laughter, particularly when the sisters chuckled alongside him.
'This is like Star Trek!' Piers exclaimed.
'Sorry, how can you keep a straight face?' the presenter asked co-host Susanna Reid, 'That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.'

Australian murder suspect denies drying deadly mushrooms
An Australian woman accused of murdering three people with death cap mushrooms has denied that she turned the fungi into dry powder for the fatal meal. Erin Patterson, 50, is charged with murdering her estranged husband's parents and aunt in July 2023 by spiking a beef Wellington lunch with the mushrooms. She is also accused of attempting to murder a fourth lunch guest - her husband's uncle - who survived after a long stay in hospital. Ms Patterson denies all charges in the trial. She says the beef-and-pastry dish, which she cooked in individually sized portions, was poisoned by accident. Three months before the lunch, phone records placed Ms Patterson in the Victoria state township of Loch, where a sighting of death cap mushrooms had been posted online, the court heard. Prosecutor Nanette Rogers alleged that within two hours of finding death cap mushrooms in Loch, Ms Patterson bought a dehydrator to use on the fungi. Ms Patterson admitted to buying the dehydrator. But she denied purchasing it to dry the death cap mushrooms or that she went to Loch to find the dangerous fungi. A month later, phone records placed Ms Patterson in a second town in the area, Outtrim, just days after a sighting of death cap mushrooms had been posted online, the court heard. Ms Patterson denied she went to the area to find the mushrooms, but said she may have driven by the area. Ms Rogers suggested Ms Patterson "blitzed" the death cap mushrooms into a powder in order to hide them in the meal. "Disagree," Ms Patterson said. The court heard Ms Patterson had told people that she served the beef Wellington leftovers to her children a day after the lunch, as her sickened guests lay in hospital. The accused said she scraped off the mushroom and pastry from the dish because her children were fussy eaters. The prosecutor asked Ms Patterson why she would feed leftovers to her children, while knowing or suspecting that the same meal had put her guests in hospital. "I didn't know or suspect that," Patterson replied. The prosecutor accused her of telling a "lie about feeding the leftovers" because it gave her "some distance from a deliberate poisoning". Ms Patterson replied: "I don't see how it could, but I disagree." The home cook had also invited her estranged husband Simon to join the family lunch at her secluded home in the Victoria state farm village of Leongatha. But he turned down the invitation saying he felt uncomfortable going, the court heard previously. The pair were long estranged but still legally married. Simon's parents Don and Gail, and his aunt Heather Wilkinson, attended the lunch. All three were dead within days. Heather's husband Ian fell gravely ill but recovered.

LA mayor issues city curfew TONIGHT as violence reaches 'tipping point'
Mayor Karen Bass issued a curfew for downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday 'to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting,' following four days of protests against Trump's immigration crackdown in the city. She said in a news conference that she had declared a local emergency and that the curfew will run from 8 p.m. Tuesday until 6 a.m. Wednesday. The curfew will be in place in a 1 square mile (2.59 square kilometer) section of downtown that includes the area where protests have occurred since Friday. 'We reached a tipping point' after 23 businesses were looted , Bass said.

(Image: AP) The curfew will likely last for several days, she said, and will only end after a consultation is made with law enforcement and elected leaders. It will not apply to individuals living within the designated area, individuals experiencing homelessness, credentialed media or public safety emergency personnel, according to LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. The mayor suggested earlier Tuesday that she had been considering a curfew if violence broke out again, but said it would not be necessary citywide. The curfew zone in downtown will extend from the 5 Freeway to the 110 Freeway, and from the 10 Freeway to where the 5 and 110 Freeways merge, Bass said. Over 150 people have been arrested during the four days of protest in Los Angeles over Trump's immigration crackdown.

Some protestors were seen lobbing water bottles at CHP officers Sunday. Members of Los Angeles law enforcement have been filmed shooting a non-lethal rubber bullet at an Australian reporter, spraying tear gas and throwing flash grenades at protestors, and attempting to stomp a protestor while on horseback . Bass and other Los Angeles officials have asked protestors to remain nonviolent, though the appearance of graffiti on downtown buildings has gone against her requests to Angelenos. Protestors temporarily halted traffic on the 101 Freeway Sunday when a large crowd spilled onto the two-way, multi-lane highway.
