I have seen death many times. I'm in the medical field and have been for many years. I have never actually witnessed a tragic accident but, I can recall being at an accident scene. The body was lying on the ground, covered in a white sheet. There was a sneaker from the victim that was probably 10 feet away from the body. His motorcycle was on the side of the road. The police, emergency crews were at the scene. It left an impression in my memory. I actually said a silent prayer for him. I had read about the accident so that's how I know that it was a young male. Quite sad and tragic.

Oh my gosh yes several times, but the one which has lasted a life time happened when I was 8m years old. I was with my Friend waiting across the street for his grand pa to get off the bus. He walked in front of the bus saw us and started across and was run over by a car.. I am now 70 and have never forgot the site of him flying through the air like a rag doll...

Just behind me actually. A car crossed the grassy median, missed my rear bumper by inches, and plowed head on into the car behind me. I saw it happen in my mirror. They both died instantly. Everybody would have been better off if she had hit the beck of my delivery truck. The wreck would still have been brutally ugly, but everybody would have lived...I think.
I've cleaned up the aftermath of two gruesome deaths. A neighbor committed suicide with a shotgun in his mouth. Another time my National Guard unit helped clean up after the death of a moron. He had a friend lighting firecrackers in his living room, and said something to the effect of "You wanna hear something really loud?" Then came back with a bag full of pipe bomb makings. His cigarette fell into the bag. If he had just let it flash, he'd have been OK, after the 3rd degree burns healed. But no. He tried to close the bag and hugged it in to his chest. Gun powder will just flash when exposed to fire. But when it's compressed is when it explodes. We picked the guy's teeth out of the house across the street. The explosion was so strong that it lifted the house about a foot off the foundation.

Always in the line of duty, in my military career.
Well, there was one time, when we invited a real jerk to go hunting with us...
Out here, retired, I would like to nominate some of the idiots roaming around in our traffic for a place
in the sights of my rifle!
After seeing people die, fear is overcome with a tranquil philosophy that everyone dies, no one gets out alive, and if not him or her, then me.
So, let's make it him, or her, or, in my case, with an AU-IA 50 caliber mini-gun mounted in my A10 "Warthog", Lots of Them, with one bullet per square foot in an area the size of a football field!
That even butchers the cows, dogs, sheep, and the camels into neat hunks of meat, easily distributed to the survivors! Sorry, animals smaller than a dog leave nothing for the cooking pot. Hard to collect a blood smear on the ground.

Yes. I was heading for work one morning and saw a woman being chased down the street by her husband who had a revolver in his hand. He shot her dead, and I still have bad dreams. On another occasion, I witnessed a youth jumping in front of a subway train. On yet another occasion, I physically prevented a woman from beating her boyfriend to death. There's so much damned fear, guilt and anger out there, I think I'll stay in for awhile.

I observed a toddler run right into a highway & get hit with the aid of a automobile & observed a automobile with 2 senior citizen couples interior, run into the lower back of a tractor trailer that replaced into thoroughly stopped in site visitors at approximately 70 MPH. i'm hoping I by no skill see something like the two or the different procedures ever lower back in my life.

I don't remember the figure off the top of my head; I've since erased all those memories. It's somewhere around 8-12. Everytime it happens, it's like seeing it for the first time all over again.

Yes....It is a weird thing to whiteness. I don't think it bothers me as much now but I still remember a lady who died while I was covering her up with a sleeping bag , who had just been thrown through a windshield of a car. She cried out and died and her husband was standing just behind me watching. It was so sad.
