The James Dean Curse!

In September 1955, James Dean was killed in a horrific car accident
whilst he was driving his Porsche sports car. After the crash the car
was seen as very unlucky.

• When the car was towed away from accident scene and taken to a
  garage, the engine slipped out and fell onto a mechanic, shattering
  both of his legs.
• Eventually the engine was bought by a doctor, who put it into his
  racing car and was killed shortly afterwards, during a race. Another
  racing driver, in the same race, was killed in his car, which had James
  Dean's driveshaft fitted to it.
• When James Dean's Porsche was later repaired, the garage it was in was destroyed by fire.
• Later the car was displayed in Sacramento, but it fell off it's mount and broke a teenager's hip.
• In Oregon, the trailer that the car was mounted on slipped from it's towbar and smashed through the front of a shop.
• Finally, in 1959, the car mysteriously broke into 11 pieces while it was sitting on steel supports.
