Checking my exes mobile to find naked pics of some **** in my flat **** physically shocked ,physically sick was more like it.

There's several experiences like this I've had.
I'll start with the Signals boys incident. The cabbie that helped with the slaying and took their bodies away. Well he is free and still alive and just outside Belfast. I used to patrol past his house almost every day. Also spoke to him at a Vehicle Check Point whilst we searched his cab.
It took all I had not to pull the trigger. They used to show us the video and the Morgue pictures of the two lads, this was a reminder as to what can happen if you mess things up.

I had only just turned 18 at the time.

I saw a good mate killed in Az Zubayr in 2003 I still wake some nights with this picture in my head.

A few days later me and my crew engaged an enemy stronghold at close quaters. Using the main armament and co-axial machine gun (Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank) we leveled the building. A bit different from the wooden screens or dead tanks we normally fire at on ranges. Its not a case of seeing people blown apart but the fact that they were there one and minute gone the next.

I'm not claiming to have had the worst as I know I could not do what the police, fire or ambulance guys do. I take my hat off to them. They see this stuff every other day. Us once or twice in a career or tour, as they are becoming more prolific.

After that the be heading videos are pretty rough. I now swear when I go back out there, there is no way they are taking me alive so they can do this.
Thats what the side arm is for

Yeah, sorry about that

Someone having a heart attack and dying whilst you try in vain to revive them with CPR.

Rotten.com/bangedup doesn't even come close!

Obviously with your nic i can see you are more in the know than me, but i thought the problem with it was that the underneath of the wing/fuel tanks were not protected properly. So 'fod' on the runway being thrown up ruptured tanks. A problem which they knew about because it happened previously when a concorde had a blow out and the rubber was thrown up and caused similar damage without the consquence.

Anyway that wasnt the main point strangely! no matter how wonderful a piece of flying history it is, experiencing something like that takes the gloss off it on a personal level.

As for the bbq quote. eloquent i am not but I have no other way of describing it. It was truely a harrowing experience.

A couple of years ago, coming back from a Christmas do. The taxi driver did an emergency stop. We asked what was up, and looked out of the window to see two bodies in the road. A man and a woman. The sad thing was, they were side by side, real close together. Turns out to have been a hit and run. It still upsets me now to think of them. They left three kids.

Seeing a chap travelling in the opposite direction, get knocked of his motorbike and then was hit by a car..

little-ginge

That must have been, at the very least, absolutely heart breaking - I can't imagine what you must have gone through, but I feel for you to have gone through this.

wrxtankie

much worse than I've ever had
wish I knew what to say.

Lee247

OMG, I am so, so sorry. That is truely dreadful and I can't begin to imagine how you must feel

Identifying my mates corpse in a morgue after he'd been hit by a train, and seeing one of my schoolmates wiped out by a bin wagon on a cross country run.

Lee247

I know you didn't, but having two kids myself, I felt compelled to give you some.
A very brave man

I agree, things like the Tsunami are upsetting, but as it real as it was. There was an element of detachment as I was never there or grossely affected.

Having one man actually die your arms is something that I can never detach myself from. Even though in the cold hearted grand schemes of things it may not be so significant as what others may have dealt with.

Holy ****ing ****.

I have blurry vision now.

I was driving around the M25 last year on the way from picking up my new interior for my car and the traffic was slow. As we approached the accident scene you could see that it was a transit van on it's roof against the armco on the hard shoulder which I thought was bad enough then I noticed that it was infact a mini bus and that there was what looked like an elderly person hanging out of the window laid on the road From what I could tell it looked like their head was under the mini bus that was horrible and made me feel sick

Stiff

I remember when I was 19 going with my aunt and uncle to visit my grandfather who didn't answer the door which was unusal. The caretaker gave us permision to climb through a window to se if he was ok. I climbed in, fell over the sofa under the window and landed ontop of him. He'd been dead in front of the fire (on full) for over 2 weeks. That was quite a shocking sight (and smell)
**************. That must be the most shocking thing I could ever imagine to happen to a parent. You're a strong guy, mate. My world would collapse if it happened to me.

ScoobyDriverWannabe

I didnt actually fully see everything but few months ago i was standing at the cash point. Heard some shouting and a lad running behind me pursued by 2 security guards. He ran into the middle of the road into the path of a bus. I didnt see the impact but heard it and saw him falling to the ground as i turned around.

Another one was as i was on my way home on the bus. The bus stopped at the traffic lights and standing on the crossing was a girl, she must only have been about 15 in her school uniform. 2 others ran up behind her and one stabbed her in the neck. Blood ended up squirting all over window right where i was sitting.

Turning the news on when i got home after passing my driving test to see the 2nd plane fly into the two towers will always stick in my head aswell.

Probs the most shocking thing i ever ever saw though was my dad in hospital after his 1st heart bipass with all the tubes etc sticking out of him.

Couldn't agree more and was going to post something similar mate!

The Zohan

Looking at the coffin of my x brother in law and friends 1 y/o daughter as it was being carried into church for the funeral. wew where all told to dress in out most colourful and fun clothes to brighten the funeral up as she would have liked that. The church looked a picture with all the flowers and brightly dressed people on such a sad occasion.


Stuff on the tv or internet i find slightly detached from however the massacre at the school sometime back left me feeling very upset and angry

Whilst you may not need my sympathies - as a parent myself you certianly have them sir.
