Most sickening and most gross thing you have ever witnessed?

I dont know. Walked in on the rents once. The other day I was walking in my friends backyard around 11pm and a stick poked me like 8 times, turned around and I watched it drop to the ground. No plants around or anything.

US Army, 1991. We called in the combat engineers to fill in Iraqi infantry foxholes while they were still occupied. Buried em alive. Nausiating to think about, much less observe.

When I was little my dad turned on the gas grill to preheat it for the first time that spring, and I saw mommy mouse trying to carry her half charred babies out of the grill one by one.

I once walked in on my brother who was dressed in my mums clothes,ive never been the same since.

oh damn you got my mouse thing beat.

Nick Berg beheading video.

nah Im still going with mouse story ;)

you witnessed that live??? hmmmm

Note the word "video".

When I was young, I came upon a horrific scene of an accident. The cops hadn't arrived yet.

I saw a middle aged woman slumped dead across her steering wheel. I was sick to my stomach. The glass was broken, yet I didn't see another vehicle in what I would have considered a crash.

She was slumped dead over her steering wheel, dead with her eyes open. I will never forget. It was horrifying.

and 'note' in the OP that I said in real life, not video ;)

apparently the hulk hogan sex tape is pretty gross..

I think some of you are missing this.. in real life. not seen on video

wow, that must have JUST happened. Its everywhere within like an hour.

A patient in the hospital with her hip very swollen from infection from a previous surgery was screaming in pain.

Then after about half hour we walked in her room and there was a little hole in the skin near her hip and she was asleep in about a gallon of green putrid pus...

The swelling had burst open from that little hole and leaked all that pus.

Eewwwwwww

I am a free-will fireworker (that`s how it is organized in rural europa) and once we had to get a body out of a car.

Dude crashed into the woods in a corner late at night, car burnt down and the accident was discovered only next morning.

Guy was baked through like a rotisserie chicken to long on the grill and the skin stuck to our uniforms.

nice...

im still thinking about what my pick is...

Im going to bed now but keep the stories coming.!

Witnessed a guy get hit by a car while crossing the street, flipped in the air, then was conscious in pain on the ground. I was in traffic going the other way so I didn't see much after that before driving on.

Got a call to an apartment fire. Whole family burned up. About all I'll say about that{it was a bad one} except I tip my hat to firemen for dealing with that kind of thing and still going to work the next day year after year and doing what they do for us.

kind of a toss-up really. the floater who pretty much disintegrated when they tried to lift him out of the east river with a float-gurney, or maybe the guy who got run over by the train on an elevated track (i was tripping for that one, just happened to wander past the scene on the street), or the way green dead bum laying rigid on his side on 42nd street in manhattan with morning henry b. businessmen just stepping over him, or even the old lady with frostbite induced gas gangrene of both feet in an e-room. all had their individual elements of both criteria. more amusing was the cat sitting next to me in another e-room who told me "check this out", and opened his jacket to reveal a switchblade stuck in his ribs (in at least 4 inches, lol).

all three of the ones I have, are also in the FAA accident database...

Boxing day Tsunami 2004... I was in the Australian Army at the time and was sent over to Banda Aceh in Indonesia as part of the clean up effort.

2 things come to mind:

1 - Picking up random body parts and filling up the back of tucks and then taking them to the mass grave near the airfield. Every afternoon a thin layer of dirt would be covered over the bodies and then the monsoon rain would come in... resulting in a lake of blood rising to the surface. The local stray dogs would then come over and dig up their dinner. I will never forget seeing a dog running off with a arm like it just won lotto.

2 - The amount of bodies that were maggot infested, going through rapid decomposition due to the tropical heat and having the billions of flies from the bodies attacking us all day every day. We knew where they came from and having them crawl up your nose, getting in your mouth ect was horrible. I will never forget the smell.

I cannot bring myself to talk about the horrors I have witnessed in a previous career.

Some things are best left unsaid, however what is seen cannot be unseen - ever.

The bedroom in which my brother in law commited suicide in. I was sent into the room to collect clothes for the funeral director to dress his body in. He had used a kitchen knife to cut his throat, and arterial blood was as high as the ceiling. It was what I can only describe as a vision from hell.

A corpse in Laos in the 1970s that had been bent over a log and assraped. The pants were pulled down and the asscheeks were bloated and swollen, kind of dark and shiny, absolutely swarming with carrion beetles that had already stripped much of the assfleash away and cored out the anus to the size of something big enough to stick your arm in.

I was working the first aid station at the local fair one year. The double fair wheel stopped & somehow jammed. One of the carnies climbed up to unjamb it, it decided at that moment to move. His face & head were crushed in the gears between the 2 wheels.

A fire truck with a ladder had to be called in to get the riders down. One girl that was in the seat next to the crushed carnie was spazzing out because some of his blood got on her.

people voting for Obama...

My neighbor getting a blumpkin from his wife. They left their bathroom curtain open with the light on at night. I went to close my blinds, and had a perfect view of....it. Had to call in sick to work the next day.
