On a more serious note...

Me and a bunch of my friends went up to the "big city" tonight to watch Dodgeball. The movie was great, but on the way back we were a few of many witnesses to a car crash. It was actually a car that passed us about a half an hour before, and when we passed it there weren't any police or emergency crews or anything, so it hadn't been that long. Unfortunatly he collided with a semi, the semi was in the ditch on fire and the driver's side of the car was completely smashed in. The semi driver was ok, but the man in the car was still in his car. His arm was dangling out of the car, blood was everywhere, and he seemed to be pinned in. The only good news was that he was sitting up, so he was still conscious, and we passed fire squads and the like just a short ways down the road, so hopefully they got to him in time. With any luck he'll make it through. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but after seeing something like that it's hard to think of anything else. Very scary stuff.
 
Well, I heard today, this is unconfirmed mind you, that it was a van (I only saw the mangled side, which could very well have been a van) and I heard that 3 people died in it. If I find out for sure I'll post it up, also if I find out anything about the victims or how it happened. I don't know if I'm ever gonna be able to pass a semi in the highway without cringing just a little bit after this.
 
Ok, nevermind, that was another accident that also happened recently but that wasn't the one we passed. I found out that no one died in the accident we passed, though the guy in the car (it was a car after all) was pinned in by the dash of his car. Apparently the dashboard broke his leg and actually severed a main artery, but luckily for him, he didn't start bleeding until the jaws of life pried the dash off. The dash actually kept him alive by putting pressure on the artery, so as soon as they removed it blood started to poor everywhere, but he survived with a bunch of bruises, bunch of cuts, and a broken leg.

I gotta say, after seeing the shape the car was in, I'm very surprised that that's all that happened.
 
Hmmm... where did that van accident happen? I good freind of mine from school was killed about a week ago in a car crash in a van, alonmg with three others of his family. Be kinda strange if that's the one you were talking about. I'm telling you guys... as if you didn't already know... death sucks hard. It makes me think the most out of anything else in the world, and yet I still can't understand it.

I think that's the most accurate thing someone's said. When someone dies their family and friends, especially at the funeral, feel the largest loss possible to feel. Most people are speechless, and those that aren't say nothing, fearing that they'll upset the others more than they already are. Such a quiet and sorrowful thing, death. No one can expect it, no one knows when it'll happen, or where it'll happen, or how it'll happen (other than special occasions such as cancer, but it's still a guess). It'll happen to everyone, filling peoples hearts with emptyness and sadness.
 
I don't know... I mean I was standing there in the funeral home and I just don't understand it at all. It's hard trying to get yourself to think that your never going to be able to see this person, or hear thier voice when it used to be a daily thing. Death confuses the hell out of me, and as much as I think about it I don't think I can ever understand anything about it.
 
The van accident happened near here, so unless your friend was taking a trip through Canada I don't think it was him.

Going passed that accident made me and all of my friends really just take a proverbial step back to think about it. I mean, in a matter of seconds this guy's life was changed forever, in a matter of seconds Link's friend was dead. It's not like in movies where you get a last chance to tell someone how much you loved them, or with your dieing breath you finally understand that meanign of life. One moment you're alive, and the next you're not, and that's it.

And on that note, sorry to hear about your friend Link. My mom died of a stroke a couple years ago, so I know how much death sucks. I also know what it's like to be in that funeral home, with a million unanswerable questions. I am very thankful that she didn't die in something like a car accident though, I don't think I could have accepted that her death was someone else's fault, or perhaps even her fault. And then seeing that car accident, I just thought of the guy's family, what he would say if he had the chance, what he would have done differently, what was going through his mind, because he was just an average guys like every one of us until the unthinkable happened.

That's why we should all live our lives as if this day was our last. Be nice to everyone, whether or not they're nice to you, etc.
 
C'mon dude, if someone's mean to you and you're mean back, and they get in a horrible car wreck and die instantly and you drive past and are the only one to drive past I'm sure you'd feel a lot worse because you couldn't have the chance to say sorry and not feel like a cruel, mean person. You'd have to live with the guilt, and you'd (because of the natural tendancy of the human mind) feel as though it was your fault. It'd be even worse if they suicided, cause then you'd really feel like you caused it.
 
I agree with Link.
My grandmother has a few weeks left (cancer)... :(

Awhile ago, one of my friends' dad was murdered. That was about 2 years ago, though.
 
Well, I'm not mean to people who are mean to me, I typically just ignore them. I mean, if someone gives me a swirly, I'm not going to get them anything for their birthday. I can forgive and forget, but only to a certain point.
