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

Two buddies and myself were in Costa Rica to visit another friend working there.

We were touring a rain forest preserve in a rental car, drive up on a crowd of people blocking a narrow gravel road, they moved out of the way to let us pass, and as they moved there a full size pick-up truck, with the cab mashed by a large tree that fell dead center across the roof of the truck - driver was sitting inside the truck, necked snapped clean, with head laying on his shoulder, dead as door nail - must have happened just minutes before we drove up.

Just a fraction of second before or after, the guy’s truck may been taken out by the tree but he would have lived. We stopped “touring” and drove out of that rain forest as fast as we could all the while the 3 of us saying non-stop “holy shite” until we existed that forest.
