Just yesterday, a friend of mine was vacationing in Vietnam and was hit by a bus while riding a bike. Did not die instantly. Found out he died last night around midnight our time.

Cancer can tear down the strongest of men, that’s what happened to my dad at least. One afternoon he was begging for death instead of having to go back to chemo. That was miserable to see my dad go through it. I’m just honestly glad we had about 6 weeks between diagnosis and the end.
Grandpa’s death was the most shockworthy though. I was in his backyard mowing and he was sweeping up the grass clippings in his driveway waiting for me to finish. It was noon on a Saturday and drunk driver hit him in his driveway. He was hit so hard he flew 25 feet away from impact and his watch actually fell off his arm at the point of impact and lay next to the broom. That was crazy to go through when I was 11.

Went in a double date with a friend in high school. He and his girlfriend had been fighting most of the date over dumb shite. He was driving and I was in the passenger seat. Girls were in the back. After she said something stupid he stopped the truck and got out and went to her door and wa yelling back at her. I was telling his dumb arse to get back in the truck and take us home since it was almost past my curfew when she told him she cheated on him. He looked up the street and noticed an 18 wheeler coming in the opposite direction and the told her “I hope it was worth it.” He then looked at me and said, “See you on the other side.” He turned around and jumped in front of the 18 wheeler which was probably going 65mph. fricked me up for a while. He was only 16 and had his whole life ahead of him.
I will never forget the sound of the truck hitting him.

While I was in high school a bus driver worked at a local saw mill in between his route. He got off his fork lift with out setting the brake. The fork lift rolled forward driving one of the forks through him. He was alive until they removed the fork.
A crane operator had his 14yo son helping grease the crane boom. The brake failed and crushed his son while he watched.
Father and son were testing a bearing to fit on a shaft 120ft in the air. The 150lb bearing rolls off and breaks the scaffold board the father is standing on. Son watches his father fall to his death.
Three brothers I grew up with father died from being basically cooked in a boiler. There were 3 or 4 of them that got shut up in the boiler after maintenance was completed. They actually lived a few days but it cooked them so bad their organs failed.
A young Forman for a company that was working beside us was electrocuted when the load he was guiding touched a power line.
Knew a kid riding his gocart, he hit a trailer hitch and crushed his skull.
Worked with a Brazilian on his first hitch promoted to a crane operator he died in a car wreck on the way home to his pregnant wife.
Log rolled off a log truck and killed the owner of the logging company. I grew up with his sons.
Lots of friends that died in car wrecks. Kids are the worst.
