Urban legend alert! I haven’t checked Snopes on this, but it doesn’t ring true.
First red flag: occurs in an obscure corner of Eastern Europe. Urban legends are often set in places where the facts are hard to check, like Indonesia, Central Asia or other areas out of the mainstream.
Two: Think about the physiology of this. Fake boobs saved her life? Breast implants are small, about the size of fluid-filled baggies. How much impact could they absorb? Enough to save a life? Plus they’re on the chest, and most fatal complications from car crashes are due to head trauma.
I don’t doubt there was some sort of motor vehicle accident in this Bulgarian town. But silicone life-savers seems over-inflated (pun intended.) Do you wonder whether you’ve been scammed, Truthdig?
