People Share The Worst Accident They've Ever Witnessed - AskReddit

warning this content may be upsetting or disturbing to some audiences we see the legs of someone sticking out under the bus blood started to flow around the legs and all the girls started screaming people who have been unlucky enough to see a stranger die on the street what happened I was in seventh grade finished a Pop Warner game in the car with my dad Florida highways suck they don't usually have barricades so a drunk II came around the bridge over the line and hit a pair of motorcyclists one flew a few meters survived the other was plastered to her windshield she continued to hit a small car flip it twice before it caught fire and she hit us when I looked up I saw the first biker standing over in the distance screaming what the hell he was going to kill that lady I then noticed the body parts dangling from the windshield my dad's truck was semi high up , dots of the drunk II was underneath us I saw everything so bad drunk II was not hurt at all got 15 years 15 years that's it oh the other car 45 year old driver 19 year old daughter the daughter had a few scratches my dad pulled her out while the car burned I ran over there he started yelling to get back but I saw it already shards of metal went through his throat cut it to the middle he was barely alive he was trying to scream as the flames got him he died on the scene I think the daughter killed herself later but I can't find anything on it all the life she ruined and she got 15 years I hope the Budweiser was good and people asked why I am not affected by gross stuff one of my wife's co-workers an engineer and easily an extremely highly educated and overall intelligent man was shooting off fireworks at a company picnic using a length of PVC tubing one of the fireworks failed to ignite so he looked into the end of the tube the firework ignited right as he looked inside and it took off a goodly portion of his head witnessed by his wife his kids and a large portion of her company's employees I learned a valuable lesson that day which is no matter how educated you is you still endeavor so smrt that you wouldn't do thing really stupid that'll get you killed when I was 18 my family and I watched an elderly lady collide with another driver at 60 miles per hour on a country highway several ribs in her right leg were broken her left leg was crushed under the dashboard and partially severed below the knee her brachial artery in her left arm had been cut by something I cut her sleeve off and torniquet her left arm to stop the bleeding and likewise at the left knee when she started going pale and asking if I was her grandson or Jesus I knew she was gone by the time the first responders arrived she'd lost a ton of blood and her vitals were weak she reached out to me and I held her as we said the Lord's Prayer together she passed a minute later the other driver didn't make it either though my family did their best to attend to him while I was with a woman we sent flowers to their funerals and her family sent us a letter thanking us for our kindness to her to this day I've never dreamed about it or even cried for the longest time there was a crushing guilt that I couldn't save her but like all things that has faded to when I was living in Uganda I was walking down a busy street when a street kid tried to dart across the road and was run down by a minibus the bus stopped and he was still underneath I could see the blood start to pool and I watched as his legs gave a few final twitches the driver got out at a crowd began to form around him mob justice is common in that part of the world so I got the hell out before I had to watch someone else die or be seriously injured the thing that stuck with me most was how quiet it was no dramatic crescendo of music no screams just a life gone traffic continued around the accident most people continued about their day life went on for everyone but that boy I saw a man get hit by a taxi but that isn't the part that I will remember after he was hit the taxi screeched to a halt and the man's body lay limp on the ground there was a good five seconds of silence even though there were like 20 witnesses the worst part was the sound this man's girlfriend made it was dead quiet and she lets out this horrible high-pitched scream you could hear her heart breaking and her world stopped a few people ran over to help the man and the girlfriend was kneeling next to him crying then the ambulance came and took the man away he died in the hospital it was a surreal experience back in the early 80s my old boss was showing the client around a construction site piles were being driven by a crane and a drop hammer a laborer kept sticking his head in between the hammer and the pile the boss told him to stop it he didn't and got decapitated in front off the boss and the clients my brother worked a few doors down from a bar where a guy who had just been dumped by his girlfriend who worked at the bar he walked in saw her and shot himself in the head my brother heard the gunshot ran down the street and saw the guy's body blood still coming out he said it was and I quote bad driving home from a concert with my parents when a man jumped off of the freeway overpass hanging himself with a length of spelunking rope we passed beneath his dangling body and have not spoken of it since I once saw a guy get shot execution-style when I was eight years old I grew up in a neighborhood that wasn't exactly rough but you just had to be vigilant there was a gang house that I could see from my bedroom window one night it was probably around 3:00 a.m. or so I heard a commotion outside I looked over to the gang house and saw a guy being dragged to the middle of the road he kept screaming no please no boom headshot next morning all I could smell outside was bleach I never told anyone or called the police gang activity man I didn't want to end up in witness protection when I was a kid we were out on break on the playgrounds at school and heard a loud womp-womp-womp and looked over just in time to see a helicopter crashing in a yard next to the school we all ran over to look at it in the bodies were very visible and quite mangled kinda crazy day but years later I was a volunteer search and recovery diver and pulling up bodies from the aftermath of water related incidents was kind of normal I once hit a girl on the highway that was staggering across drunk I was going so fast and had no time to stop her head went through the windshield on my passenger side where my buddy was sitting and then she flipped well over 30 feet behind my car there was still hair in the windshield when I picked the car up I looked her in the eye when I got out and it was the worst feeling I have ever had my mom had taken me to the grocery store to pick up some stuff I only really liked going with her on this particular errand because afterwards she would give me some money for candy and a video game next door at the arcade I ran to the drugstore on the other side I was munching in my candy and making my way to the arcade when I hear the grumble of a Harley on the busy street in front of the shopping center being ten years old I looked to see the Shirley badass Hogg blasting down the road just as I spied the motorcyclist I see a car at a dead stop turning left on to the intersecting road that made the corner where the market was the bike slammed into the back of the car with a quick bang I watched the rider suspended in the air like he was in slow motion arms flailing body twisting the rider landed upside-down in his head his head crushed and brain spilled out across the intersection to this day there is no helmet law in Arizona freedom sitting in my car at the traffic lights on my way to work it's a cold November morning just after 6:00 a.m. this is in Seoul so the traffic is already getting heavier despite the ungodly hour I'm watching the traffic stream across in front of me when I see a delivery biker using the crosswalk on red common in Korea a huge construction truck moving it quite a lick turns left and doesn't see the biker I could see it was going to happen for three or four seconds before it did and the sound of me hitting the horn made no difference the guy went under the wheels of the truck my light turned green in time for me to drive past the truck or standing in tears in front of the mangled remains of the biker there was no point in me stopping the guy's neck was snapped I've seen the aftermath of a few other similar accidents and what always gets me as the single shoe left laying in the road seven years back when I was in middle school we were riding the bus to the capital city of finland helsinki so just a bunch of kids with a couple of teachers going to watch a game of hockey we are now in the city and there is a lot of traffic no one really cares though we sit and talk all the time till we hear a bump and some weird noise followed by screams the bus stops the teachers look out the window one of them yells to not look outside of course when she says that everyone does and we see the legs of someone sticking out under the bus blood started to flow around the legs and all the girls started screaming with their high-pitched voices followed by others yelling what the hell etc we didn't really enjoy watching that game of hockey where people were being pushed and tackled in some started bleeding I was at a friend's house and a truck pulls out I'd never seen the guy driving or the other fellow in the back but I knew the guy riding shotgun the Rhino we called him a friend of general Ben we were going to ride to Ben's house so I figured it would be okay to hop in the back seeing as I knew the guy riding shotgun and I knew the house we would be going to bad idea as soon as we leave the subdivision and get on a main road this driver is doing about 80 miles per hour in a 45 and I am ducked down in the fetal position wondering if this is what it's like to know you were going to die once we get to an intersection the driver takes a left turn from the far right lane and proceeds to floor it again at one point this guy in the back with me stands up on the toolbox and puts his hands on the cab I yell for him to get down but this was about the time that the guy in the back must be drunk we take a wrong turn and as we are heading down the road to turn around the driver is actually going the 20 miles per hour speed limit of the apartment complex I was amazed he was actually doing the speed limit sure enough the guy who stood up is now sitting on the big silver toolbox and as the truck makes a turn the guy just slides off I start pounding on the back window of the cab yelling man down so they stopped the truck by the time I got to him there was already a big pool of blood coming from under his head people are driving by as this happened at the entrance to an apartment complex ambulances fire trucks Sheriff's Office and the Highway Patrol all showed up they took our statements and as I'm sitting on the sidewalk I hear the sound of handcuffs clicking yes the driver was drunk too he ended up getting 11 years in prison looking like I was the only one there who didn't end up going to jail or the hospital a sheriff's deputy gave me a ride to gentle Ben's house of course when we get there The Moron has a bong that you can plainly see though the window so I told the law man that it was a few more houses down why was my mom pissed maybe she was so scared that I could have been killed that the anger was masking her fear a far more likely explanation is that she saw it as another one of my stupid adventures with a no-good crowd of losers sometimes I lay awake at night and think what if the guy didn't take the left turn he would have probably gotten on the interstate and killed us all when I was 15 I killed a man I don't like to talk about this and have only told a few people I feel safe enough with the anonymity of the Internet to share my ordeal as I was saying when I was 15 I was home alone on a Friday night in February now as a person who has said their house broken into before I get a bit paranoid when I'm home alone one of the things I do to help us I keep a loaded shotgun under my bed for comfort well it was late about 11:00 at night or so when I hear which sounds like something at my front door so I grabbed my shotgun to investigate when I see my front door fly open immediately followed by a large man brandishing a crowbar I immediately yell at him to which he turns on me now I guess he couldn't see the gun because it was quite dark in the house being is the only light on was the kitchen light the man began to come towards me I raised the gun and flipped off the safety his eyes grew wide as he realized what I was holding I pulled the trigger which sent two buck shots into his chest not many people have seen what a close-range shotgun blast does to a person's body his chest mainly disintegrated before my eyes the worst part of the entire ordeal were his eyes they went from vibrant bright alive to nothing dullness emptiness if there is such thing as a soul then I saw it leave that man's eyes as he fell to the ground at my feet I called the police soon after then my parents that I just sat there beside the body of the man I just killed and waited for what seemed like hours for the police to get there it's been over a year now and I still sometimes see those eyes when I close mine Mount Pinatubo erupted with three times the force of Mount st. Helens while my family was stationed at Clark Air Force Base at the same time a monsoon hit which caused mudslides to meld with the pyroclastic flows creating rapid moving walls of thousands of degrees hot death that could sweep through a road in seconds the ash was so thick that we could not use vehicles and had to evacuate on foot to the we lived off-base as we worked our way through a banana field in a foot convoy I tripped the man helped me up and pushed me back towards my mom and then was just a wall of death it sounded like a million wailing ghosts ripping him apart your typical mudslide is 100 km/h this one was propelled by the forceful venting of volcanic gases it was a mixture of molten glass air mud pumice the guy literally was just one moment whole the next missing major pieces looking surprised I was heading to work southbound on the 405 between Kirkland and Bellevue Washington in 2002 a Jeep Wrangler passes me going at least 90 weaving in and out of traffic I didn't see the accident but I saw the back end of the Jeep came up high enough for me to see it over the conversion van that was in front of me as it flipped he had hit another car because of his speed and sudden lane changes traffic comes to a sudden and terrifying stop I am one of the first out of my vehicle to help the driver of the Wrangler must not have been wearing his seatbelt since he was laying on the ground in the middle of the lane he kept trying to get up but his bones weren't where they were supposed to be or in any condition to support his weight me and another witness put a blanket on him and told him to lay still which he did he soon went quiet and died before the ambulance got there coming home Christmas Eve my mother brother and I stopped at a pay toll my mom got in line and we had one car in front of us suddenly my mom looked at me with an extremely concerned face quickly turning to the backseat to look at my brother I started hearing screams as people evacuated their cars and ran towards us before I could comprehend what was going on I saw a giant blur blaring towards us that's when I made eye contact with the pay Tollbooth worker who stared right at me as a semi going the wrong way slammed into the toll booth flipping on to the car in front of us barely stopping before hitting us I saw the fear in the poor man's face as his booth was completely eradicated into nothing we looked in horror as the semi truck driver climbed out from the truck and started running into the hills cops fervently on his trail my brother was lucky enough to sleep through it but I know that the horrible memory will remain ingrained in my head as well as my mother's forever my dad and I go paddle fishing every year so we're down on the river's edge casting and shooting the poop when we see this truck start to rule down the rocky embankment about 50 feet from us it picks up speed is bouncing on the rocks people are running and screaming including myself for whatever reason I decided to run towards the truck yelling get the hell out of the way I slipped on the rocks ate dirt and got up in time to see this older guy get smashed by the truck like it bounced a few feet in the air he tried to get out of the way but slipped the same way I had and that was it the truck went into the river with a dog inside it I went to try and help I'm first aid CPR certified and there were two people already attending to him I remember the blood pouring out of him turning the river below red I remember a man cradling the victim's head and taking his false teeth out and setting them on a rock and then I think I kind of went into shock I was sitting near the accident with one shoe off and was nauseous and shaking like hell seeing pics of gore is nothing when confronted with a real thing I learned my dad and my girlfriend got me to walk up to the truck where I shivered for a while bummed a smoke off some Mexican cowboy guy I quit hadn't had a cig in years before that and then drove three hours home the dog apparently knocked the truck into neutral somehow and gravity did the rest the dog also got out in case anyone was wondering about two or three weeks ago I was going to work at about 1:30 p.m. waiting for the e train New York City here just as the train was arriving about five feet away from me a man leaned in towards the train by accident and smacked his head and shoulder and immediately flew 30 feet to my right he knocked into someone mid-flight hard enough to smack them to the ground the man who was struck was in a pool of his own blood with the trail starting from my feet I've never heard such a deep thud before in my life nobody went to help at first I ran up immediately to get an MTA employee or a cop anyone with a radio I knew though that the moment I saw the man and how he was laying in his blood and there was a lot of it that he wasn't getting up I would compare what I saw to watching a fly get hit by a swatter but with larger physics at play always be aware of which direction the Train is coming from before you look down the tracks thanks for listening to another darker episode of Radio TTS hit the subscribe button for more dark
