re: Most disturbing way someone you know died

I was friends with someone that died in the blackhawk crash last week. That's the worst I've got

In Elementary school, had a kid 2 grades below me fall off the hayride and the tires crushed him.

While in college a friends dad died in a freak accident during the Christmas season. He was bringing decorations down from the attic and tripped on the stairs. He was trying to walk down the attic stairs forward and tripped. The pencil in his pocket hit just the right (or wrong) way and was driven into his chest, pierced his aorta and he bled out.

Fricking horrific and ironic, since they were Jewish and also celebrated the holiday season.

19 year old girl was in a car accident and her legs were pinned under the steering column. She called her parents ,who lived down the street, told them she was in a minor accident but she was okay. The parents drove to the scene and arrived just as the car caught fire. They could not get her out before she burned up.

There were two 16 yr old girls from my hometown who got in a wreck around 1 or 2 in the morning while they were supposed to be at one of their houses. The car caught on fire and the passenger died while the driver sustained 3rd degree burns over most of the left side of her body. The first responder in charge of the scene was the father of the girl who was driving the car. He didn't know it was his daughter until he got there and had thought the girls were back at his house. fricked up situation.

About 4 years after the fact Mazda awarded a settlement of $6 million dollars to girl who was driving (20 yr old AU student at the time given that much money) and $4 million to the parents of the girl who died.

Had 2 friends back in 2011 commit suicide. One drove his car in front of a train, the other shot himself in his truck. From what I heard he had gotten into some shady business and owed some dudes a lot of money. They threatened to kill his relatives unless he paid up or killed himself.

Thread is depressing

I respect people in your profession, I could never do that.

Diabetes, body taken away piece by piece, limb by limb. All the while praying for it to end.

fricking A....we JUST had this thread a few weeks ago. Depressing as hell...but I can't look away.

I knew a guy who was really concerned about his body image and he would always accessorize to make his body look more appealing to potential tops. Well one day he wore his bicep bands too tight during an arm workout and he popped an artery and bled out after he tried to curl with the 25 pound dumbbells.
