What's the most horrific thing you've ever witnessed?

Question

Thanks guys for being so candid. I don't mean to bring up bad memories. And thank you for your service RAW.

Answer 1

I went to India one time, and I saw a little boy in the streets holding his little baby brother in his arms (at least I assumed it was his baby brother), begging for money. The weather was about 100 degrees. The baby looked to be only about a month old, but the baby looked like he was dying. It was really awful. The description I give can't do it justice. It was something you had to see for yourself. I will never forget that experience for as long as I live.

Answer 2

I'm a combat veteran (Iraq). I've seen some sh!t. Don't expect any details though. It's horrific enough even living in a war. RE-living it is something most combat veterans would rather not do. Especially when they come home and receive second-class treatment from the people they were guarding and defending.

Answer 3

When I was about 9 years old I witnessed a couple (drunk drivers) get killed when they hit a wall at high speed.
Guy felt his face on the windshield, woman flew out and her head shamed up against the wall like a watermelon.
When I think about it I can still remember the smell of warm dead bodies and alcohol.

Answer 4

A boy in spanish class stabbed another boy all the way through his hand with a pencil. It was one of those moments that you don't want to look but can't stop staring. Pretty sad since the stabber was only 14, yet was so violent.
