The most horrific and terrifying morning of my life! | |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 63048266 United States09/23/2015 12:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw a dude jump off a bridge and land right by me as I passed under. I pulled over, walked up to him and saw real death, no movie, no effects...just death.. His mouth was locked up, frozen in place, blood between every tooth. His neck broken, body curled, and motionless. I looked at him for about 2 mins thinking why he may have jumped...it's been a few years, won't ever forget it, but it doesn't bother me at all. And come to think about it, it didn't really bother me then. But good luck, hope the day ends better. Peace. |

Your humanity will keep you upset for a while so don't expect to just go on as normal for at least a couple of days. Right now you're so upset it happened and you saw it. So sad. |
| BRIEF User ID: 65696907 United States09/23/2015 12:54 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This morning seemed like a normal morning! I had to push my son to get ready to leave for school. I decided to treat him to a Subway breakfast sub while I grabbed my morning cup of joe. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69973492 After I dropped him off for school I made the every day mundane trip 12 miles to work. This morning was different though. I got about 3 miles from work, still on the highway, and I was talking to my friend on the phone about fantasy football and then it happened. About 5 or 6 car lengths directly in front of me (no cars in between)a S.U.V's car door opened and a man jumped out. They were traveling at least 55 mph. His body tumbled and flailed about as he was hurled about and then I saw his head hit the metal guard rail to the right side of the road. All I could say was "my God, my God, my God" as I terminated the call and pulled over. I got out and approached him as did the people he was traveling with. His body had gone into some sort of intense contraction where every part of him was as stiff as a board. His breathing was so labored that I knew he didn't have long. I could not gather myself enough to call 911 ( I tried but just could not) and as I looked at the driver I saw he was already on the phone so I knew that I wouldn't have to make the call. The scene was by far the most disturbing thing I have ever witnessed. Gruesome! Morbid!...I can't really find the words! I literally was in shock for at least 1/2 hour! Then, crying. I'm not one to cry often. I've had times where I've been overcome and cried but this was different...is different. He was helpless and I could do nothing. I prayed for him there but again I just felt worthless at that moment. I am going in and out of crying fits. I can't shake the image or quit playing the scene over and over again in my mind! Life...precious beyond comprehension! I've held dying people in my arms at traffic accident scenes. I've also saved a few too. Watched a guy try to pass a semi trailer on a motorcycle and hit his head on the back of it, nearly ripping his head off. Dead people are gross. I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked.  |

| darkwolf007 User ID: 45525338 United States09/23/2015 01:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My sister is on Facebook and somehow she found out that this gentleman was turned away from the Veterans Hospital yesterday. He had been suffering from PTSD! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69973492 Yep. I got a bad case of PTSD myself. Luckily I can deal with it most of the time drug free. It all leads back to my childhood days. If I had to deal with children often I'd probably be such a nervous wreck like the guy you saw jump out of the SUV in front of you, OP, and kill myself just to try to end the pain. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is something that's not well known nowadays, and people are such lousy POSes that they'll do their best to trigger your PTSD to the point of you'll go on a killing spree and ultimately murdered by the cops or otherwise just off yourself somewhere. Conspiracy Theorist is nothing more than a derogatory title used to dismiss a critical thinker. A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us." -- St. Anthony The Great Social Credit Loser here. |

As difficult as it may be please keep in mind that at least your heart is still not cold. Even though the feelings are tough as hell it shows you care for fellow man and that is always part of Gods teaching. |

Life...precious beyond comprehension! Sorry for your trauma OP. I hope you go home early and spend some time with your family, hug them, take a walk, take time to heal from what you saw. Make sure you get some rest. I think some people can more easily deal with such a tramatic event. I know I am not one of them, this was difficult to even read. I can't imagine having witnessed this event. Sending you positive and peaceful thoughts & prayers. "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 39164599 United States09/23/2015 01:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If anyone has ever witnessed a full blown house fire when its occupied, it will change you forever. I happened to be on a 1st date with a girl who lived in Queens, Ny. As we approached her block after the date there were fire trucks & police cars & ambulances everywhere. I got out of my car & heard a loud thud about twenty feet from me. It was a smoldering body that had jumped from the 4th or 5th floor. I couldn't tell if it was male or female but it was certainly dead & died in the worst way. I remember that distinct smell of burning flesh & will never forget it. It turned out that the house was divided into many small apartments rented to Polish immigrants and all the windows had bars on them a & all the exits were locked. The home owner did go to jail & some kind of justice was served.(In all 8 or 10 people burned to death). |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 43040097 United States09/23/2015 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think that this shows something in our society today. Death has become so sanitized that it's traumatic to be near to it. It's like how most people squirm at the thought of having to butcher an animal for their meat, but if it's wrapped in plastic it's fine. Most people experience death at funeral homes etc. Wrapped neatly in plastic. Talk to trauma nurses, or those that have had to see the reality of what death is, and you get a different view of the world. I understand why OP is shocked, and having crying fits. OP now sees how frail life truly is. It's not a quite neat contemplation/sadness of a lost loved one, but the gruesome reality of how easily the human body fails. I think what adds to it is that it was a violent death to boot. Your world has changed OP, and you have to make peace with it. |

He could have spared others by kamikazing out alone and out of their sight instead of passing on his PTSD. Bundle up the mess he tried to pass onto you and chuck it back into the shoulder of the road where it belongs . If you had wanted it you would have asked for it , not had it shoved in your face . They almost always try to take others with them . don't let it happen . |

Humans may choose to harm others or themselves. You can look at the garden of Eden as an example if that is your belief. Freewill enables some of the greatest triumphs or greatest atrocities. That person decided to take their own life. It's good that is unfathomable to you. Perhaps, you should be thankful your life has been joyous enough that you have never been that low, and you should try to understand that there are things that can drive people to horrific decisions. |
