Watching my friend bury his only child. Horrible.

My dog getting hit by a car. Still to this day my most traumatic experience. I've been pretty fortunate so far in that respect I guess but a person's affection for a dog is pretty incredible.
My dad was telling me about seeing his dog get hit by a car when he was a boy. His eyes teared up talking about it.

I saw a guy plow into the ground in one of those shitty kit built KR-2 planes.
I knew he was fricked when he took off because the sound the engine was making. He tried to make the "impossible turn" back to the runway and that was the last thing he ever did.

How's the baby doing now ? And also congrats. Mines almost 10
Thanks he is doing great and healthy. He's about 3.5 months old and 18 pounds already, no idea where that comes from because my wife and I are not big people.

My brother-in-law, dying of cancer and giving the eulogy at his wife's funeral after she died from leukemia. Both were 47. He died 6 months later. Not a dry eye in the house.

I believe it. I was 17 and didn't actually see it but found my dog on the side of the road after he went missing, with his entrails exposed and mouth wide open. I was fricked up for a pretty long time about it and beyond inconsolable that day. Still the coolest dog I've ever been around and it still bothers me to this day just thinking about it.
I know that pales in comparison to people losing close family members but like I said, I've been fortunate so far.

I saw a guy try to commit suicide by slicing the crease of both elbows and reach inside both gashes to pull veins out. He was a prisoner in an isolation cell, my job while I was in college was at this particular prison. Being the nature of his classification, we couldn't just rush in. By the time we entered the cell he had written all over the walls in his own blood and had pieces of vein all over the floor. It takes days to get the iron smell of blood out of your nose. For those that duck hunt in the marsh, the smell is similar. That sulphur smell that stays with you for days after the hunt. That was close to 20 years ago.

I've posted about this before, but back in the mid 90s I was on a USAR task force (Urban Search and Rescue).
On the morning of 9/11 I was at work watching the coverage when I got a call to be ready to deploy in the next few hours.
I remember stopping by my sons daycare, he was 4 and hugging him bye.
We got to the Pentagon late on the first night and immediately went to work. The scenes inside there were terrible.
We worked there for the next ten days. The whole thing was totally surreal. A few things that stick out in my memory would be:
- the building creaking like it was going to fall on us a any moment
-finding the body of the guy that flying the plane.
But the thing that has stuck with me the most is an incident that I regularly have nightmares about to this day.
One day we worked for a while trying to move a large chunk of concrete, when we got it lifted there was a little boys leg under it that was wearing the same light-up Spider-Man shoes that my son had. He had been on the plane with the 4-H group and was traveling to a show.

I bet you have a special kind of disdain in your heart for "truthers". I know I would.

I was 18 at LSU my freshman year living in Broussard. It was the first game of the season and LSU had played A&M at home in 1994. That sunday my uncle and the dorm RA knock on my door at 7am. Proceed to tell me that my old man committed suicide the day before and wanted to wait to tell me. I ran out the room and ran into the field next to the dorm and got on my hand and knees ripping grass out and bawling my eyes out for what seemed like an hour. Then my uncle drove me to my moms house to see the family, priest, etc. Was definitely the most emotional thing I've ever been through. Love you dad.

Pediatric codes.
Thank god my son wasn't born yet. Chunky little healthy looking 20 month old girl was brought in after cardiac arrest. The EMS crew consisted of two moms and a dad. They were frickED. Don't know what happened, never heard autopsy finding. This kid was otherwise healthy. EMS worked a good 20 mins and we put in another 20. It was terrible. IV went bad. I had to poke this kid in the neck to get another IV. Awful.
The dad gets there from running in from his work. No idea what has happened. Just it's an emergency and bad. He walked in the room right as we are giving up. I was standing by her arm as I had been doing chest compressions. I just told the Dad to "come here". the look on his face when he realized I was giving up my spot to him and why was awful.
In about 3 minutes he went from "can you tell me where so and so is" to his daughter being dead. Soul crushing is an understatement.

Watching my grandfather take his final breaths after succumbing to brain cancer. I will always be thankful for my battalion commander at the time letting me fly home from Germany in the middle of change of command inventories to be there with him his last couple of days.
Getting the call from my uncle that my dad died suddenly on the operating table from heart failure during a rather routine surgery a little over a year and a half ago.

Sitting in a small waiting room in the hospital when the doctor came in to inform me and my parents my sister had died from her injuries.
She was involved in a hit and run at 2am. I was 13.
I remember that day as vividly as it were yesterday...

A very close friend lost her 6 week old baby boy. I think the funeral gave me PTSD. If I think about that tiny casket and the eulogy of him growing up in heaven, it still brings me to tears and it was 10 years ago

I'm sorry but that's pretty messed up that they waited a whole day.

Sorry you had to witness all of that. Kudos to you for being there to try and make sense of madness.

I really want to go home and hold my kids for a while now.
