re: Need to Kill Time: What's a story that you've heard that still gives you chills

My Dad was a firefighter in the Air Force for over 20 years. When we were stationed in Indiana at Grissom AFB back in the 80's, there was a light outside the main gate, and it had a blind approach.

A Minivan with kids, was hit at full speed by a truck at that light. The Van exploded on impact, which according to my dad, is uncommon. Since they were closest to the scene, they responded, despite being the base FD. My dad, who spent a year in Vietnam, and has seen and responded to numerous aircraft Crash's, said that was the only time he has ever thrown up at a crash site.
