re: What’s the wildest thing you’ve even seen in person

Senior year of Highschool, I worked for a Jackson Newspaper (Daily News) Sports dept. on High School sports desk two nights a week. Was on West Street headed from H-80 to the paper. I stopped in the center lane for a train coming, and a family in the curb lane didn't. I looked over and made eye to eye contact with the father, and he pulled right in the path of a train. Hit their car right in the passenger door and stopped about a quarter mile down the track. I was running down the tracks and stumbled over the guy's head. For some reason, I still made it to work that night. Almost 60 years back and I can close my eyes and see his face as he looked over at me and never even slowed down.

I was working the ER at Womack Army Hospital at FT. Bragg one night when they brought in 6 guys who parachuted out of a plane into a thunderstorm, and all bought the farm. Tough night at work.
