Viewers were left in disbelief after watching the 'greatest' video of identical twins speaking in sync.
Yesterday (April 23) was an incredibly eventful day for twin sisters Bridgette and Paula Powers when they witnessed a road traffic collision in which a carjacked SUV rolled over on Steve Irwin Way on the Sunshine Coast in Australia.
Their mom rushed over to the wreck to find the alleged gun-wielding car thief emerging from the smashed-up motor and threatening to shoot her, with the man later being arrested and faced with 15 charges including dangerous driving causing death while intoxicated after a series of alleged incidents, according to 9News.
While the ordeal sounds incredibly traumatic, many social media viewers were more perplexed by the near-perfect synchronization of how the Powers siblings delivered their interview to 7News Australia.

"Well we were cleaning our birds and we heard this big bang, and we said, 'oh no, not another car accident', so we drop everything and we went running out the front we see mom running out from the house up there [points] and then other cars were pulling up and checking to see if the person was okay." they both said.
"One guy he was up there with our mom and he went up there and he was coming back down towards us and he goes, 'run! He's got a gun', and ahhh, our hearts started to pound.
"I said, 'well Mom, where's Mom?', and poor mom was stuck up there but apparently our brave mom she goes, 'are you alright?', because he had all blood over his face and he goes, 'I'll shoot you', and she goes, 'hey! I'm here to help'."
The twins then continued: "Mom distracted him to make him look the other way and he looked the other way and mom ran into the bush behind the fence and the guys goes to her, 'I'll find you and I'll shoot you'.
"All I was thinking about when we were running was, 'I hope she doesn't fire!' Yeah, we were so blessed."
However, this isn't their first time going viral and the two have appeared on multiple morning talk shows in the past to showcase 'twin telepathy'.
In a interview after their 7News interview, the 51-year-old twins told The Project that their twin talking isn't intentional (via news.au).
"It just happens and we don’t know why. But we have tried to talk separately but it’s we’re not ourselves. It’s not us." they said in unison.
Adding that it's 'very hard', they said they 'didn't care about the critics', letting whoever 'can't stand listening to them' to 'simply switch off their TV' - which is fair advice.
However, many online thought their interview was great, with one Twitter user writing in part: "This is hands down a top 5 interview of all time," while a second typed: "The simulation has glitched again."
A third added: "It's like a teams meeting when you're sitting next to the person talking and hearing them through your headset at the same time."
"The greatest news interview of all time." a fourth said.
