    Guy was hit by a car, dead instantly. Someone not paying attention
    just created a world of grief.

    Two seconds max. Maybe three.

    Here. Gone.

    It's because of shit like this that I support the death penalty (preferably with the business end of an M82 (or its variants) pointed at the heads of people like them).

    I've seen a women get her head run over by a bus and die. Saw a Man in Frankfurt airport die of a heart attack.

    The latter was probably the worst of the two because his family were crowding around in tears, the paramedics were shouting frankly and a crowd gather pretty quickly.

    Not something pleasant to witness.

    Yeah dude, I think it would have been a bit more prudent to have kept the video.

    Cool, so you support the death penalty in a form that's never been used in the free world, and likely never will be. Awesome.

    >> Assembler
    That does suck though. Sorry you had to see that.

    a real shame for bad drivers. I feel as bad when I see roadkill, cars are a case of convenience vs life of other beings on the road.

    That's an awful thing to have to see. And yet again idiots who shouldn't be driving in the first place are the cause.

    That is bad, but what is worse is if you actually knew (and loved) the person you see dying.

    Depending on the situation, though. I saw my father die, but I felt relief that he was finally resting. Then again, we weren't surprised - we all knew he had days left.

    Still, if it had been sudden, maybe it'd have been different stuff. It always pains me that people who kill others in traffic get away with it.

    The two times people have died within my life I was there both times and it wasn't any easier. Both times they were out of pain but yet it still hurt.

    That's a given, sir. But having lived the situation I lived, I cannot imagine the pain of a sudden death being anything but much more intense.

    Wow, that's terrible.


    Why can't people just pay attention better? Get off your cellphones and shit like that

    My step brothers mom tried to kill herself yesterday, the thought of her wanting to end her life and failing is a pretty big grief for me, even if she was making my mothers life a living hell by having cops at our house all the time, the pain her death would cause to my step bro would mean the world to me. It. was. horrible. Thank god she is ok, but now I am honestly just sitting back and seeing what happens hoping for the best.

    I have never seen death in plain sight, always from afar. My nearest experience to it was watching a car crash, the wife lay crying next to her husband as he lied dead in the drivers seat. It was horrible.

    Same here. Still sucks, but knowing they're not suffering makes it a little less painful.

    My sister died beside me while we were on the way to hospital.
    She was having an asthma attack, and her windpipe closed over causing her to choke until her heart stopped.
    At the hospital, I was sure she was gone, but the doctors managed to start her heart again. What I saw that day will stick with me forever.

    I have seen death twice in person, and it is probably the most disturbing thing ever. First time I remember I was shaking like a ghost. I salute you for not posting or keeping the video of the death. I don't understand why people get a thrill of posting clips of someone dieing online.
