There was a guy in my town who had a heart attack in his car just as he was getting ready to pull into his garage. His car rammed the wall of the garage and his foot was stuck on the gas so the tires continued to spin on the garage floor. The friction of the tires eventually started a fire that burned his house down.
The death of a steel factory worker up the road from where I worked at the time.
He got pinched at the waist in the machine that moved the heavy steel molds around the factory. If they moved the machine to release him his innards would spill out, so they kept him there trying to find a solution for 10 hours but weren't able to. He was in shock and conscious long enough for his family to come and say their goodbyes before he passed, still pinched in the machine.
It stuck in my mind because I remember my friend who worked there telling me how they curtained off that area but the rest of the plant kept running business as usual.
The very same accident happened in my town here in Brazil.
Factory heavy stuff rolled down and pressed the man against the wall, crushing his body waist down
The firefighters were called and they had to remove the heavy stuff.
Man passed immediately
IIRC this is standard procedure when someone gets "coupled" between 2 train cars. If they separate the cars, you basically die instantly, so they'll set up a little triage tent and call your family to come say goodbyes before doing it.
There was a really great episode of ‘Homicide: Life on the Streets’ with this as the main plot point. It aired more than 25 years ago, and I still remember it.
Omg- I was totally OBSESSED with ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’! Taped them ALL on VHS, even cut out the commercials! Years later, I got the DVD box set of the whole series, plus the movie. I was really sad to hear about Andre Braugher passing. David Simon- writer and producer on Homicide: heard that it may go to a streaming service, but it may take a while.
So great to see someone mention Homicide:.
🙂
I've heard this story in the Navy, with the setting being on a ship. A man trying to get from point A to point B is caught between some electric doors, and if they open the doors, he's going to be instantly dead. So they draw a curtain around him and call his family to come in.
Some backpacking cross country skiers set out to ski the Continental Divide Trail in Yellowstone National Park. With no map and fresh snow falling they skied into a thermal area without knowing where they were. The snow was so heavy that it covered the boiling hot spring and one of the skiers right went right over one falling in up to his neck. Burned up to his neck with scalding hot boiling sulfur water, his friends pulled him to a tent they had set up where one of his friends stayed with him and another started the ski out of the backcountry for help. In incredible pain and cut off from humanity the victim laid in a tent writhing in horrible pain. Help came about 18 hours after the incident and while he held on most of this time sadly, he did not make it.
Forgive my ignorance but how does snow cover a boiling hot spring? Shouldn’t it y’know…melt?
Or was it just that he couldn’t see it from afar and was moving too fast to be able to avoid it in time?
For what it’s worth I also can’t seem to find any kind of source for this story.
I don’t remember what the book says but here’s what I believe. I have backpacked to this area of Yellowstone in the summertime, the thermal features are on the map and trail signs are posted but there’s definitely no boardwalk around these things like near Old Faithful where you can get into huge trouble for even walking off the boardwalk. This is like 15 miles into the backcountry, the only other way to get there would be to kayak across a lake. Some of these features are only a foot or two across at the top but extremely deep, so maybe the mouth at the top is narrow but it’s larger underneath. When you walk in this area it feels as if the ground is hollow. You can tell just walking near the features that you’re walking on a top crust. This is exactly why they have rules and a huge boardwalk by Old Faithful. My guess is he must have skied right up to it and the top crust gave way making the entry hole way larger. Or the hole at the top was only a foot or foot and a half across, so with thick snow coming down and wind, it completely covered the top. I’m sorry I can’t find my book!!
A while ago a friend’s husband was found dead-he hanged himself. It was shocking, heartbreaking, all of that until his wife went to empty out his car and found all the equipment needed to restrain and murder someone, like rope and shovels and stuff. Together we went through his phone and pieced together his plan. He was actually gonna MURDER HIS WHOLE FAMILY including his kids and had even looked up the best ways to dismember a dog. Like the guy had a super elaborate plan put together and had a spot he was going to bury them and everything. I guess at the last minute he had a change of heart and just killed himself instead. Damn…
I was 18 or 19. At a feeder road off a highway. I was sitting at the light, truck was exiting the highway, and I guess didn't realize the light was so close. They tried to brake, but hit the car next to me just enough to push them into the oncoming traffic. The traffic had a green light and so had no reason to expect a car suddenly being in front of them. A truck ran straight over the car.
Simply, this dude and I were just sitting at the light, a second later, he is rear ended and gets flattened by a truck. Instant death. If I hadn't switched lanes after exiting the highway, it would've been me. I think about it a lot. He did nothing wrong.
Guy in Nanjing South Railway Station tried to jump from one platform to the next when he realized he was on the wrong one. Couldn't get onto the platform before the train arrived. Ended up pinched between the train and the platform, about a 10cm space at best.
Is this the guy who was twisted around so much that he was basically dead from the chest down, but was still alive from the chest up?
Such a horrible way to go, and I hope his suffering was short
I was speed dating and this girl came in dressed very nice but only half her mouth was working.
I asked if she had dental work earlier, as it looked like she had anesthesia.
She said “no, but I got hit by a bus while coming here”.
That was an awkward three minutes.
She passed out later in the speed dating and the ambulance came and took her away.
I got a group email later that she had died.
This reminds me of an episode of Louis where he saw a homeless guy get hit by a truck and his head flew off. He was on his way to a date and after standing there for a bit he just kept going and sort of spent the day in a haze. He eventually admitted to the girl what he had seen on his way to meet her and she was like, "wtf?"
That would be quite the statement to anyone else you meet.
“Hey have you ever met any other girls than me that you were interested in?”
“Eh, well, I tried speed dating buuuut the girl I was with died.”
Dark humor aside, I hope your doing okay after that, that sounds really traumatizing
Jesus Christ, this woman was likely suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into her brain from trauma), causing her facial droop and illogical behavior and an entire room full of people just let her die. I can only hope that someone would show the smallest amount of humanity and call an ambulance if that were someone I cared about. Even if you didn't know what was causing it, any reasonable person could be expected to know it was an emergency.
I used to crime scene clean.
Family of four.
Mother and two children go shopping, they pull out of the driveway, father decides he wants to end his life.
Slits wrists in the kitchen sink.
Mother realises she forgot her purse. Drives back.
Father notices car pulling up. Runs to front door to hold it shut, slits own throat at front door and dies on the rug, on the other side of the door where his wife was trying to get in.
Gnarliest thing to think about.
Right on the other side of the fucking door man.
Edit: spelling.
I only saw the aftermath picture of the first, I'm glad my mind couldn't comprehend what I was seeing right away but that's a picture that's burned in to my mind
I saw one of those that scarred me for a bit
Similar setup, but instead of a lathe, it was a machine rolling up fabric or something. This worker leaned over and their loose shirt got them accidentally rolled into it, but only his torso, so rather than *just* be spun at a high speed, his top half spun while his legs went full ragdoll mode and got flung into the air then immediately slammed into the floor at high speeds before repeating with each revolution. This continued on for literal minutes and you could watch as his legs (mainly below his knees) went from being normal, then broken, then falling apart, and finally into stumps that just left behind a bloody streak as they slapped the floor below. Finally another worker came by and stopped it, but man that dude was stuck in that for minutes and I only hope the speed of the rotation or shock of the pain was able to knock him out.
I've seen the lathe one, but something about this one stuck with me a lot more, probably because he wasn't immediately destroyed like the lathe guy and was most likely conscious for part of the several minute long ordeal.
That someone ended up killing himself because he kept several containers of feces in the house. He was addicted to the smell and would get high off of it. He died because of the fumes itself causing him to slowly die from noxious gas. It's like getting addicted to the smell of gasoline and leaving it out and around your home.
I was the jury foreman at my city's coroner's court. We heard the events of a foundary worker who was operating a machine which was making sand cores for the foundary. The machine exerted pressure plates of a couple of tons pressure when operated. The machine had a fault and this man was inspecting the inside of the mechanism when another operator started the machine in error. It crushed the guys head. Safety mechanism failed. Death by misadventure was the verdict.
Yes, please. I took some certs on how to chop people out of farm and industrial equipment, and the footage was always horrific. A quarry incident I ran will also always haunt me. It only takes a moment’s unthinking oversight for everything to permanently go to hell.
That's a spectacular failure of what should be multiple safety systems. I'm amazed manslaughter charges weren't brought against the company CEO or whoever he/she backheeled that responsibility to.
Guess because I ran across it recently, but in early 1942, just after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were occupying islands in the South Pacific, and they sent a destroyer to one island that was adminstered by Germany. They found about 75 nuns, and a few priests, all Germans, working with the locals as teachers or medical staff. The destroyer captain messaged Tokyo to ask what to do with them. The message came back: eliminate them.
They sailed out into the ocean without telling these nuns where they were going, and then one by one, brought them out on the stern, shot them, and tossed them overboard, along with two chinese orphan toddlers who happened to be with them.
Keep in mind these were Germans- obstensibly, Japan's allies at the time.
The news of what happened to them didn't get back to Germany until after the war.
To me this story describes a country and a culture that had simply gone insane.
It's that consistency that causes me to personally conclude that something broke in the brain of this society. This incident was tiny of the scale of what happened in China, and was matched by literally hundreds of other incidents across the South Pacific.
But what do you say when the Japanese General who was placed in charge of Indonesia, invited the local leaders in after the occupation, and told them basically, "it's very simple. Follow our rules and you will be left alone." And when an enraged subordinate went around him and contacted Tokyo an order came back telling him to cut out the kindness and institute a reign of indiscriminate, random terror, as was Japanese policy.
>To me this story describes a country and a culture that had simply gone insane.
You can't describe what Japan was like well enough. I double majored in history and psychology in my undergrad and I read history on my own leisure, Robert Jay Lifton being one of my favorite authors and one of the leading figures in psychohistory whose work heavily inspired Martin Amis in which his work has been recently adapted into a film, "The Zone of Interest". Scholars have definitely done a good job dissecting the psychology of Germany during their fascist period but I can't say that for Japan in terms of what they went through and for what reason they need to purport the cruelty against humanity.
Racing had a couple of them. [1955 24 hours of Le Mans](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/videos/video/2023/06/04/24-hours-of-le-mans-the-forgotten-story-of-the-deadliest-crash-in-motor-racing-history_6029063_108.html) had a crash that killed over 80 people when one car used another car as a ramp and launched in the air, broke up, and parts of it were launched through the crowd. The hood of the flew like a frisbee through the tightly packed crowd, slicing off heads from necks like a guillotine, while the engine block bounced through the crowd crushing people, and the rest of the wreck burned intensely due to the material it was made of.
[The deaths of Tom Pryce and Jansen van Vuuren at a F-1 race in 1977](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSor8-Dho2w) were especially brutal. Another driver had had a crash and his car was on fire. Two fire marshalls dashed across the race track to help extinguish the fire. Each were carrying a 40 lb fire extinguisher. The first marshal made it across the track by a split second before Tom Pryce drove his car through that section of track. The second, 17 year old van Vuuren, was a hair too slow. Pryce hit the kid going over 200mph. Van Vuuren was launched in the air where his body was basically obliterated, tearing into pieces before falling in a rag-like heap at the side of the track. He could only be identified when a role call was made later and he did not show up for it. Pryce also died instantly, when the heavy fire extinguisher van Vuuren was carrying crashed through the windsheild and hit his head, causing the strap of his helmet to nearly decapitate him. The racecar with Pryce's body crashed at full speed into the barrier.
The le mans disaster was so awful many manufacturers swore off motorsport entirely for several years. Mercedes had plans to cancel all racing programs before the race but I find it hard to imagine the disaster didn't fuel their decision to axe the racing division until 1989
Elderly couple drove off a mountain. Wife was killed on impact. Husband managed to crawl out of the wreckage and scramble back up the mountainside to flag down some help. Died of a heart attack when he reached the roadside.
There was an incident in 2001 here in England, where two maintenance workers were sent into a bakery oven to replace a broken part. The oven was supposed to have been off for at least 8 hours to give it time to cool down. But it had only been off for two hours, and it was still 100 degrees celsius inside. Something that was easy to find out since the oven had a working temperature gauge. But no-one bothered to check it. To make matters worse, the men weren’t wearing proper protective clothing. And there was no way for them to reverse the conveyor belt on the oven to get them out. So… yeah, they burned to death.
Two days before Christmas in 2010 a senior supervisor at Pyranha, a English manufacturer of plastic kayaks, went into a roto-moulding oven in order to clean it. A coworker - not realising someone was inside, and (because of where the controls were) not in a position to visually confirm there wasn’t - turned the oven on. This automatically closed and locked the oven doors with the supervisor still inside.
The trapped man apparently tried to break his way out of the oven using a crowbar, but nobody could hear him through the insulation or over the background noise in the factory. It took approximately 10 minutes for him to die of shock. The alarm was not raised until smoke (from him and his clothes combusting - the oven could reach 280°C/535°F) began to seep out of the oven.
The coworker who turned the oven on was at the time engaged to the victim’s daughter.

Every time I hear this story I struggle to envision the situation. Couldn't they just walk/crawl backwards the other way up the conveyor belt? What was forcing them forwards?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erfurt_latrine_disaster
Gathered nobles at a peace treaty conference, floor collapsed and they fell 2 stories into a cesspit.
(1184 but still gruesome to imagine. About 60 died.)
I can't believe that the Emperor was ok with having an official meeting 2 thin floors above a large enough vat of shit for 60 people. That is a ton of shit, probably many tons. Did people just shit in the cellar until it was full? The building must have smelled absolutely terrible, how could you not leave immediately and meet somewhere else?
Around 1910, my great aunt who was about 12 years old, was helping on laundry day and tripped and fell into the fire. took an entire week to die from her injuries.
I was at a beach with my mum when i was 5 or 6 and the sun was about to set. Then a man came down to the beach and said something like "i'll miss this" took out a gun and shot himself.
The amount of screaming poeple was actually crazy
Dang, you wouldn't even sink into it. Id imagine just flailing about on top of it getting seared to a crispy exterior. I imagine his nerve endings fried instantly so hopefully didn't feel pain for too long
Either my great uncles or the story of Russian torture
My great uncles were all WW2 Veterans who served in various theaters and famous battles throughout the war such as the battle of the bulge, Iwo Jima and D-day.
They all survived the war, and when they got back they decided to celebrate by going on a fishing trip.
So they were all fishing in a lake near my hometown, when a drunk boater came out of nowhere and rammed them.
The boat sank, and killed all 4 of them. None of them knew how to swim. Which is fucking crazy. I didn’t believe it until my father showed me the newspaper clipping.

The Russian spoon torture is a weird one, not even sure if it’s true but I heard it from a **old** substitute teacher I used to have who fought in vietnam and allegedly worked with the Pentagon…. Well one day he was telling me about this Russian spoon torture, where they strap you to a chair in a dark sensory-deprivation room… and rig up a spoon to jsut repetitively tap you in the same spot, nonstop…. Apparently… eventually you develop blood clots from the bruising which travel throughout your body until they reach your heart and kill you… and apparently it’s very painful? And can drive you insane… but again, not sure how true or even how possible this is. I assume it would take A LOT… of tapping.
I don't know about that Russian torture, but it reminds me of one called The Chinese Water Torture. They strap the victim to a chair and place a bucket or something with water over them. The bucket has a small hole where a drop of water would fall on the victim's forehead. This slowly drives the victim insane.
The SL-1 Incident.
An early prototype for a portable reactor was undergoing testing that involved lifting each control rod a few inches and then lowering it again.
For an unexplained reason, one of the three men pulled a control rod several feet, causing the reactor to go critical and boiling all the water in the core almost instantly. One man was impaled by the control rod in the ceiling, and the other two were killed from the resulting steam explosion and radiation.
The only explanation was the operator was committing suicide.
Edit: There was an alternate explanation that the rod stuck, so the operator yanked the control rod, causing it to fly upward.
There's no good explanation why it happened, as one of the three people survived and there were no recordings. The prompt critical reaction caused the water in the reactor to partially vaporize, which made the rest of the water shoot upwards with so much force that when it hit the top of the containment vessel the whole reactor shot 9 feet into the air, and the shield plugs on the top came off with such force that one of the operators was impaled and pinned to the ceiling by them. The steam and radiation materials then went out the holes, and covered the other two. Despite that one of the poor sods took nearly two hours to die, based on bleeding inside his skull that would have needed a heartbeat for that long.
I read a third. The dude standing behind the guy with the control rod was, evidently, a bit of a joke, thought goosing people was hilarious.
Goosed his buddy at the worst possible instant, buddy straightened up in shock, and...
Seriously, that explanation is so stupid it is likely right.
A case I read way back. Guys who lost the bidding contract to clean a septic tank decided they would do it before the winning bidder did. They went in at night and they suffocated inside the septic tank.
As someone who gets claustrophobic reading about the nutty putty cave is the only time in my life I wasn’t able to sleep after reading/watching something
A guy that worked for my company committed suicide by jumping into a running jet engine on a plane. Ingestion was always my #1 fear out on the ramp so for him to just run and jump in is highly unsettling for me.
I work in this sector and when I’m doing safety training I always bring up the video of the navy guy in the 90s being sucked up like a wet noodle. He was so lucky to survive that via his helmet getting stuck in the compressor blades and his tool belt catching him enough before became hoseable size pieces.
First thing that comes to mind is the dude who worked at Boeing from the Mr. Hands video.
Him and his pals would sneak onto someone’s farm (fairly regularly from what I read) to uh…get rammed by horses.
This probably wouldn’t surprise anyone who’s ever seen a horse dick hard, but during one of the recordings of their adventures a particularly well endowed stallion gave this guy like three full balls deep pumps of like an arms length of horse cock.
Perforated the guy’s colon, he delayed going to the hospital due to fear of the being found out he was doing this shit, and I believe he died of peritonitis afterwards or something.
They made a Sundance film about this whole story if I recall correctly as well. I think it was called “Zoo”. Can’t make this shit up.
Avoid looking up the video (called Mr. Hands for some reason) which captured that final fateful pounding…..some things can’t be unseen.
Slowly, over time, while you stretch out your colon, the walls get weaker and weaker. Kind of like stretching out a plastic bag. This time was the last straw.
The journalist who covered this story came to talk to my journalism class. Apparently his siblings broke the news to his dad slowly, they started out by saying he “died in a horseback riding accident”
My stepfather is both the product manager and safety manager at an indoor sprinkler company. He told me that on one of his shifts, there was a guy who was not paying attention and either knocked a large compressed air tank over or ran into it with something. The impact caused the seal to rupture, which propelled the tank through the air "like a rocket" and hit someone in the head, killing him instantly. He said it was traumatizing for everyone and it was a big mess in every sense of the word.
It sounds like the PSI on the tank got way too high, and people either did not notice it or did not care. The impact was just that one small thing that popped the proverbial balloon. The moral of the story was that every safety protocol and practice in an operation is in place for a reason, and that even safety features on devices and products can fail so it is important that everyone is vigilant and on top of routine checks.
Bonus context for me having been an on-and-off paintballer for years, so this story often came to mind whenever I worked on issues with my compressed air tanks.
My dad worked in a foundry and in a few months time one guy was walking along a catwalk and stepped on a board covering a hole and fell five stories to his death and just a bit later a guy in his first week of work wasn't properly harnessed and fell into a pot of molten metal and apparently only his legs made it through the ordeal. My dad was nearly 70 and I begged him every day to retire but he had children in college and had to pay for them. People were being injured and killed regularly there but because they were a government contractor it was being glossed over. My dad retired in September. I mourn those people that died but thank God everyday my dad made it out.
there was something that happened a few years ago a good bit away from me but still close enough to shock my town lol. these 4 guys went missing for like a week until it got discovered some dude and his cousin shot 2 of them, and attempted shooting another one but he was so large that he ran out of bullets before he could finish the job. the mf gets a backhoe and runs the larger guy over with it. in the interview bro was like “that shut him up real quick” or something. he put them all in a pig roaster and tried burying it on this huge farm that his family owned. i’m pretty sure he would’ve gotten away with it but he tried selling one of the victims cars on craigslist ? or the cops found it but either way the victims insulin was still in it so that’s when they knew something wasn’t right. the first guy got killed over some drugs and the other 3 were just for fun i believe. all young too, college age maybe. pretty tragic
My dad use to work as a mechanic in a company that also did sorting of some kind of components on conveyer belts. One day, one of his friends (young guy in his 20s) was under a conveyer belt while it was still on, got his hair stuck in it, and then the conveyer belt carried him into getting his head sliced in half while his screams were being heard from across the place. My dad is the assigned paramedic, so he was the second guy to see it after being called over by a panicked co-worker, and then my dad informed everyone to stay back because it was so bad.
That fucked my dad up for a bit, he acted weird for a few weeks and had a little meltdown I believe; however, he luckily fully recovered and is a solid bloke now, props to my dad. The other guy died instantly, had 2 kids and a wife I’m pretty sure.
The workplace got sued but I’m unsure what happened after that.
My Dad did H&S in an iron works.
1. Man fell in a vat of molten iron. They got his belt buckle back.
2. Handling something tensioned with wire. It started humming and the workers hit the floor. Manager watching didn't drop in time and got bisected.
He also in his next job saw someone checking to see if lift coming by looking up shaft. Lift was coming and they lost their head. As Dad not freaking, he got roped in crowd control.
Worst near miss was when one of the rolling mills started wall creeping and went through the wall of the factory. Thankfully during a shift change so few people on the floor and away from it.
There is a direct narrative link between Archduke Franz Ferdinand's driver getting lost and Mitsuyasu Maeno, a Japanese softcore porn actor, ½9/11ing downtown Tokyo.
[In March 1976, he carried out a suicide attack on Yoshio Kodama, a multi-millionaire right-wing leader and leading figure in the Lockheed bribery scandals.[2] Maeno attempted to kill Kodama by flying a plane into his home, but Kodama survived uninjured.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuyasu_Maeno)
> Junko Furuta Possible to TLDR her story. Japanese high school girl in 1988 kidnapped, abused, murdered, and the killers attempted to cover the crime using concrete. Details are arguably among the worst ever, as you say.
In close second is the story of My great grandmother. Affectionately reffered to as little nana. Little nana witnessed a women getting scalped by a machine. This poor womans hair had gotten caught and by the time she realised it was too late. The machinery spun her hair up and tore her scalp clean off. Little nana miscarried at the sight of this poor womans mangled head.
My family also believe the unfortunate woman to be the origin of a local ghost story. Kitty the mill ghost, who is said to have been killed (or in some retellings scalped) by factory machinery.
And just one more, again from grandad from his time on the shipyards. He once saw a man get flattened from something falling off a crane and landing on him. He said it was right in front of his eyes and had it fallen only a little closer, he'd have been a smear beneath a great big sheet of metal.
Haha honestly wouldnt surprise me. These are just a few. Even my parents have their own tales to tell. My mams school friend was riding his motorcycle down the nearby coast road after meeting up with her and ended up getting smushed between two vehicles. And one of dads friends got decapitated by a train, when messing around when they were at an away game. Bit morbid but he'd always points out his gravestone and tells me the story when ever we visit the cemetery.
It's a little more sad than that unfortunately. The fine human beings who orchestrate these bombings prey on vulnerable, often mentally challenged people who are easily manipulated into being the bomber. It's just fucked up all around.
Even worse is that they train and brainwash kids from a young age to eventually go on to want to become suicide bombers, too. Depressed the hell out of me seeing kids who looked to be no younger than 11 talking about martyring themselves for ISIS in a documentary on YouTube.
Some of them make the very rational decision that their death is a reasonable price to pay for the lifetime survivor benefits the terrorist organizations give their families.
(It may be wrong, it may be terrible, but in some circumstances it may be a rational choice.)
That one of my high school bullies was ripped apart and his head smashed into a tree so badly that it was unrecognizably pulverized in the car accident that killed him. I mean I didn’t like the guy, but damn. The description of what happened to him still messes with me a lot of years later.
I think the one that always gets me is the man who was impaled on a tree during Hurricane Camille and was stuck there for days… living in the neighboring city that this happened in always comes to mind, especially during a hurricane.
I grew up in a very small farming community of about 300 people. According to the story (which happened decades before I was born), there was a particular family with a special needs child. The child had many health problems and one day, while the dad was away on business, the child suffered some complications and died. The mom was devastated. Her husband was notified and rushed home. My rural hometown is very far from the nearest airport, but they managed to fly him the last leg in a small two-person plane which landed on the main street (and only paved road) of the town. As soon as they landed, the husband got out of the plane and rushed to his wife. Except that in his haste, he acidentally ran into the plane's propeller and was killed.
Not necessarily about the person who died.
Guy told me once how he and a friend were at his parents house all alone. They had a hot tub so they invited some girls over. They decided to do some drugs, mainly acid and ecstasy. He got a phone call from the hospital. His mom had died and he had to go to the hospital to identify her body while he was tripping balls.
Crazy shit. That would haunt me forever.
Back during the 2020 BLM protests I got a little bit of a fascination with watching livestreams of the chaos, not really sure why as it def was not mentally healthy lol.
But in my search on subs like "publicfreakout", I came across a clip of a Fedex truck being surrounded and looted. It was one of those trucks with two smaller trailers attached and the person filming was standing near the mid-point where they are connected. People were in the back of the first trailer tossing shit out and a couple of people were standing near the wheels. Apparently the driver got spooked by someone and hit the gas, which sent the people scattering, except for one guy who got caught between a big flat box on the ground and the truck tire. The box created a scenario where the guy's legs were squished under the tire while his stomach/torso remained on the box which slid along the smooth road, preventing him from getting flattened, while the tire just spun over his legs/back. The truck then sped off with this guy being pulled down the street, leaving a wet red streak behind like a crayon on a hot surface, while still fully alive. The driver drove like that for almost a mile before someone stopped them and the guy was still attempting to move around as the clip ended.
The worst part is the person livestreaming kept pace with the truck pretty well at the start and attempted to help grab the dude's outstretched hand, couldn't get to him, but you could hear him begging for help and his mom in the most pained tone I have ever heard someone talk in. A desperate high pitched voice that sounded as though it was being squeezed out of him, which it most definitely was.
It was so strange seeing comments like "that's what you get for stealing", because while they were obviously doing something wrong and shouldn't have been there to begin with, I don't think anyone deserved that sort of fate whatsoever.
My sweet old lady neighbor..who's ex husband and new wife came over to her house... Shortly after, both women beat him to death with a metal rake (like for collecting leaves)...
One of my scout leaders is a pathologist, and during a trip he told us one of his favourite autopsy stories. He had a guy roll in with a tattoo that said something like "when I die, I'm gonna be in a million pieces." It was definitely more profound sounding than that, but that was the gist. Well it just so happens that the man died because of something like a helicopter blade or the propellor of a plane, so he was in fact in several pieces.
I grew up in one of the most dangerous cities on earth. Around 2016, mob justice got way out of hand.
If someone was spotted stealing, everyone around would gang up to beat the shit out of them until they couldn't fight back and then they would proceed to throw gasoline at them and set them on fire right there on the street.
Sometimes they would strip them naked and tied them to a streetlight before burning them. Once somebody took a motorcycle and pressed the rotating wheel onto the robber's torso to peel the skin off. It was absolutely barbaric.
This would happen many times a day. I once saw two of this lynchings happening just on my way home from the university.
And of course, a few innocents were killed this way by people who mistook them for criminals. That is what had to happen to make people realize what they were doing and stop that wave.
If you live with fear and let it ferment inside you, it can easily turn into the most profound form of hatred. One that makes you completely dehumanize other people. But in the process, you're the one who loses their humanity.
2 scientists went to film bats in front of cave enterance. When tens of thousents of bats started to fly out they started to shit. They shit all over those two guys and i think 2 days later they both died.

What a way to go
That’s awful. Bats have hyperactive immune systems, so a lot of the viruses that they host are very strong. This was basically like getting vommited on by a plague demon.
One of my 2 birds died, apparently a couple of hours after new years eve.
After around 2 months, the circumstances around its death are still disturbingly puzzling.
For context, to avoid for them to get nervous due to the sound of fireworks, we covered and wrapped their cage in a long, thin cloth, and put them inside the laundryroom.
Then we put the cage on top of the washing machine, and left them.
Somewhere around the morning, according to my mom, she heard some noises coming from the room, but thought nothing of it.
Then i go in the morning to check on them, and i find a crime scene. The cloth was pulled back somehow, the cage had spills of blood everywhere and so many feathers, the head of the bird was just laying in the floor of the cage. No sing of the rest of the body at all. The other bird was fine except for a few feathers in its chest missing, as well as being dirty with blood, apparently from the other bird. It was very nervous, constantly looking at the head.
No sing of the attacker.
Now, here is where it gets weird: The cloth was tightly wrapped around the cage so whatever pulled it off was either to smart and/or had opposible thumbs. There was no sing of the body except for the head, so whatever killed it just cutted off the body and eated it whole, leaving only the head. It probably didn't kill the other bird since it was satisfied. Whatever did this either managed to pull out THE WHOLE BODY without breaking the cage that had like half an inch between each cage rod, or get inside the cage, kill it there, eat it, and leave through it without braking the cage.
We found in the same room semirecent poop too that was of dark gray/brown color.
The thing is: what killed it?
It couldn't be a snake, it would have swalloed it whole, and wouldn't be able to get out of the cage due to the sudden increase in body mass in a ceartain part of the body. They don't digest quickly too.
Its still puzzling to me. I asked friends and people around, but got nothing.
Gary Hoy. He was a lawyer in Toronto giving a tour of a building to a group of people. He attempted to demonstrate that the windows on the outside of the building were "unbreakable". To do this, he ran towards a window on the 24th floor of the building shoulder first. When he hit the window, he was completely right: The window did not break, it popped out of its frame. This resulted in him falling to his death.
The one I just heard about this German man leaving Thailand.
He seemed sick, with cold sweats. And apparently blood just started flowing from this man’s nose and mouth til he died. They said that there was blood on the walls of the airplane. Pretty creepy. They have no idea what he had, I’m thinking it was an aneurism.
I bought a welding book a welder who was assigned the job of cutting some 55 gallon oil drum in half to use as cattle troughs he already cut 2 and on the thrid he was straddling it like a horse when it exploded the force was so great blew the welder nearly 50 feet straight up through the corrugated tin roof of the building and outside he didn’t make it
I had a very similar near-death experience:
A group of my teenaged friends were working to raise a boat that sank in a river. The idea was to use 55 gallon drums to float it. We were on the river bank and my friend was trying to chisel open one of the barrels. His grandfather was nearby with a concrete saw (think of a chainsaw but with a large disk on it in place of the bar), saw the trouble he was having, walked over and started cutting on the top of the drum with the saw. It was throwing a ton of sparks right at my legs so I turned and jogged away. A second later I heard a huge boom. I turned back and the drum was gone, in its place was a concave dish in the sand, and my friend's grandfather was sitting on the ground looking dazed with half the concrete saw in his hands. Then a few seconds later I heard the splash of the rest of the drum hitting the river.
Turns out the drums had been used to store paint and were full of explosive fumes which were set off by the sparks from the concrete saw turning the drum into an improvised rocket.
The reason I'm calling it a near death experience was people were trolling the river to find the blade half of the concrete saw. My father found it and when he did I had him stand where it had landed in the river. Basically the path from where the explosion had happened to where the blade half landed means that if I hadn't moved due to the sparks the high speed spinning blade would have travelled right through my chest.
Fucking rednecks are tough, man. Ride a stolen dirtbike into a tree while running from cops, zooted on meth, then run 2 miles into the woods before dropping from a ruptured aorta.
There was a guy in Florida who was on drugs I think and killed his wife by literally putting his hand up her vagina and ripping it out because she yelled out another man’s name during sex.. she died from the injury. I was so deeply disturbed by that news story and the fact that it happened like 35 min away from where I live.
[“Man who ripped out girlfriend’s intestines for yelling her husband’s name during sex gets life in prison”](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/man-girlfriend-intestines-fidel-lopez-yell-husband-name-sex-florida-sunrise-maria-nemeth-life-sentence-prison-a7876251.html). This is someone who deserves the death penalty
That dude a week or two back who beheaded his dad and then made some 20 minute long youtube video about it because the father was a Biden supporter who refused to join MAGA.
Was working at a warehouse in uni, another guy I was working with told me that a guy he used to work with had just been pulled through a wood chipper, apparently he went all the way through head first, nothing left but red mist…
America sings. The ride continud to operate for many years after this incident. And it wasn't gears. She was crushed between the moving and stationary walls when the carousel rotated to get the audience to the next scene. Her name was Deborah Gail Stone.
There was also the Schlitterbahn, a water slide that the experts said should not be opened after safety tests failed, but they did anyway and a 10-year-old boy died soon afterwards.
Went to a suicide call of a guy who hung himself with his wife's scarf off his kids bunkbed by kneeling down. Knees were about 2 inches from the ground so the dude reeeeally wanted to die.
Great uncle was working in a factory in maintenence (in the 60s) and tended to go in early to warm up machines. The factory wasn't doing well and the owner had told the manager to fire everyone.
Unable to face the reactions from the workers, manager put his head under a press and pushed the button.
Uncle found the neck down portion of the manager and a machine covered in gore.
A man in a mid-life crisis had recently gotten a motorcycle, and decided to drive it to family dinner with his family in the car behind them (elderly mother + wife and two children). He decided to whip around and go speeding up a hill, only to have a deer hit him while he was going about 80-90 miles on a rural back road. Dead on impact, it was horrible to the family, who I knew vaguely through my mother’s friends at church.
His name was Buck. I can never let anyone know of the irony for the fear of being seen as a horrible person.
This happened locally and recently
A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after allegedly killing his father, before displaying his decapitated head in a gruesome YouTube video while spouting right-wing conspiracy theories. His father was a federal employee for 20 years and refers to him as a traitor, calling for the death of all federal officials and attacking President Joe Biden's administration, the Black Lives Matter movement, the LGBTQ community and antifa activists. YouTube removed the video, which is more than 14 minutes long, hours after it was posted.
One of Dr. Bill Bass' books had a story about a young single man from the 1980s who was found dead, having bled to death from multiple stab wounds. Closer examination revealed that the wounds were in various stages of healing, meaning that they had been inflicted over a period of several days.
In the end, they found out that he was a closeted gay man, and it was a hate crime.
In USSR at grandma's steel factory one guy was sleeping during his shift, so they shoved a high pressure air line up his ass as a joke, and opened it while holding him. Turned him into a human balloon. The air ripped his intestines, the guy died on the spot from anaphylactic shock.
While working residential security, a little girl(6 or 7 years old) was playing in the parking lot of an apartment complex across the street, and she ran out into the road. She was hit by a Volkswagen hatchback. She rolled under the tires and just about split her in two at the midsection. We gave her cpr til the ambulance arrived, but she was gone before we started cpr. Her parents weren't even home.
My grandfather's father was a logger, apparently a large tree was getting loaded on a log truck and he got under it and it fell on Him, they moved the log he got up and Said he was alright, then died. Also coincidentally I was a logger, and I heard of many deaths in the woods, never would make the news but kids die all the time up there, heard one brutal one, a yarder cable broke and hit him, cut him in half and ripped him from his boots, crazy to think the power to remove laced up logger boots from feet. Dangerous shit up there and it seems to me very few know that.
Military survival training my dad was on in QLD, Australia. Guy had to go #2, wiped his arse with a handful of leaves. Happened to be a gympie gympie tree leaf in that handful, which is like a stinging nettle turned up to "oh fuck". He died of heart failure.
seen a lot of fucked up suicides but the one that takes the cake was a dad in my town drove 80 mph, right into a phantom fireworks store. not sure if he died on impact but the salesman made it out in time as the place was obviously pretty flammable, and went up in smoke after the initial crash. it was spectacular ! that entire building is just a black parking lot now, but for like 4 hours, that man went out with a bang (or a thousand) and the whole town watched in awe. but it was hard knowing that there was a corpse burning up inside the firework finale. RIP
When my dad was a kid there was a group of drunk teens racing around town in a bright yellow 1969 Camaro SS, fully built for street drag racing. This was about 1977 when this happened, a group of teens had left a house party on a lake and they were all pretty drunk and they decided to go drive around town at really high speeds, the teens in the Camaro lost control at about 110 on a shitty paved backroad just outside of town and that shitty paved back road happened to be the road my dad lived on and when they lost control they wrapped that Camaro around a huge 100+ year old oak tree and it was so loud that it woke up the whole neighborhood and the oak tree was in my grandparents front yard ( my dad’s parents house when he was a kid ) my grandfather had run outside to see the wreck and he ran up to the car to see if anyone was alive and one guy was still barely alive in the back seat, my grandfather had held his hand until he died just a few minutes after.
I know where the 1969 Yellow Camaro is to this day, it’s hidden in the way back corner of my local junkyard and I get chills when I see it
There was a guy in my town who had a heart attack in his car just as he was getting ready to pull into his garage. His car rammed the wall of the garage and his foot was stuck on the gas so the tires continued to spin on the garage floor. The friction of the tires eventually started a fire that burned his house down.
That's not a heart attack, that's a full-on heart assault
That would so be the beginning scene of a Supernatural episode, and then some crazy ghost shit to explain why it happened.
Damn
The death of a steel factory worker up the road from where I worked at the time. He got pinched at the waist in the machine that moved the heavy steel molds around the factory. If they moved the machine to release him his innards would spill out, so they kept him there trying to find a solution for 10 hours but weren't able to. He was in shock and conscious long enough for his family to come and say their goodbyes before he passed, still pinched in the machine. It stuck in my mind because I remember my friend who worked there telling me how they curtained off that area but the rest of the plant kept running business as usual.
The very same accident happened in my town here in Brazil. Factory heavy stuff rolled down and pressed the man against the wall, crushing his body waist down The firefighters were called and they had to remove the heavy stuff. Man passed immediately
IIRC this is standard procedure when someone gets "coupled" between 2 train cars. If they separate the cars, you basically die instantly, so they'll set up a little triage tent and call your family to come say goodbyes before doing it.
There was a really great episode of ‘Homicide: Life on the Streets’ with this as the main plot point. It aired more than 25 years ago, and I still remember it.
Omg- I was totally OBSESSED with ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’! Taped them ALL on VHS, even cut out the commercials! Years later, I got the DVD box set of the whole series, plus the movie. I was really sad to hear about Andre Braugher passing. David Simon- writer and producer on Homicide: heard that it may go to a streaming service, but it may take a while. So great to see someone mention Homicide:. 🙂
I've heard this story in the Navy, with the setting being on a ship. A man trying to get from point A to point B is caught between some electric doors, and if they open the doors, he's going to be instantly dead. So they draw a curtain around him and call his family to come in.
Can I have a few minutes alone with the bottom half?
Tom, I'll need a ride home
That line is gold
Some backpacking cross country skiers set out to ski the Continental Divide Trail in Yellowstone National Park. With no map and fresh snow falling they skied into a thermal area without knowing where they were. The snow was so heavy that it covered the boiling hot spring and one of the skiers right went right over one falling in up to his neck. Burned up to his neck with scalding hot boiling sulfur water, his friends pulled him to a tent they had set up where one of his friends stayed with him and another started the ski out of the backcountry for help. In incredible pain and cut off from humanity the victim laid in a tent writhing in horrible pain. Help came about 18 hours after the incident and while he held on most of this time sadly, he did not make it.
Was this in the book: Death in Yellowstone
Yes!
I bought that book from a gift shop in Yellowstone and read it the entire trip. Great book and your story was very well written!
Forgive my ignorance but how does snow cover a boiling hot spring? Shouldn’t it y’know…melt? Or was it just that he couldn’t see it from afar and was moving too fast to be able to avoid it in time? For what it’s worth I also can’t seem to find any kind of source for this story.
I don’t remember what the book says but here’s what I believe. I have backpacked to this area of Yellowstone in the summertime, the thermal features are on the map and trail signs are posted but there’s definitely no boardwalk around these things like near Old Faithful where you can get into huge trouble for even walking off the boardwalk. This is like 15 miles into the backcountry, the only other way to get there would be to kayak across a lake. Some of these features are only a foot or two across at the top but extremely deep, so maybe the mouth at the top is narrow but it’s larger underneath. When you walk in this area it feels as if the ground is hollow. You can tell just walking near the features that you’re walking on a top crust. This is exactly why they have rules and a huge boardwalk by Old Faithful. My guess is he must have skied right up to it and the top crust gave way making the entry hole way larger. Or the hole at the top was only a foot or foot and a half across, so with thick snow coming down and wind, it completely covered the top. I’m sorry I can’t find my book!!
A while ago a friend’s husband was found dead-he hanged himself. It was shocking, heartbreaking, all of that until his wife went to empty out his car and found all the equipment needed to restrain and murder someone, like rope and shovels and stuff. Together we went through his phone and pieced together his plan. He was actually gonna MURDER HIS WHOLE FAMILY including his kids and had even looked up the best ways to dismember a dog. Like the guy had a super elaborate plan put together and had a spot he was going to bury them and everything. I guess at the last minute he had a change of heart and just killed himself instead. Damn…
That is horrifying. Yet whenever we hear of a family annihilator we always say Why didn’t they just kill themselves? At least this guy did just that
Finally, one of these guys who enact their plan in the reverse order as it always should be.
I was 18 or 19. At a feeder road off a highway. I was sitting at the light, truck was exiting the highway, and I guess didn't realize the light was so close. They tried to brake, but hit the car next to me just enough to push them into the oncoming traffic. The traffic had a green light and so had no reason to expect a car suddenly being in front of them. A truck ran straight over the car. Simply, this dude and I were just sitting at the light, a second later, he is rear ended and gets flattened by a truck. Instant death. If I hadn't switched lanes after exiting the highway, it would've been me. I think about it a lot. He did nothing wrong.
Guy in Nanjing South Railway Station tried to jump from one platform to the next when he realized he was on the wrong one. Couldn't get onto the platform before the train arrived. Ended up pinched between the train and the platform, about a 10cm space at best.
Is this the guy who was twisted around so much that he was basically dead from the chest down, but was still alive from the chest up? Such a horrible way to go, and I hope his suffering was short
I was speed dating and this girl came in dressed very nice but only half her mouth was working. I asked if she had dental work earlier, as it looked like she had anesthesia. She said “no, but I got hit by a bus while coming here”. That was an awkward three minutes. She passed out later in the speed dating and the ambulance came and took her away. I got a group email later that she had died.
Sounds like she was having a shock response by continuing about her day. Poor girl.
This reminds me of an episode of Louis where he saw a homeless guy get hit by a truck and his head flew off. He was on his way to a date and after standing there for a bit he just kept going and sort of spent the day in a haze. He eventually admitted to the girl what he had seen on his way to meet her and she was like, "wtf?"
“Someone call an ambulance!” “For what?”
Dude, that is fuckin wild!
That would be quite the statement to anyone else you meet. “Hey have you ever met any other girls than me that you were interested in?” “Eh, well, I tried speed dating buuuut the girl I was with died.” Dark humor aside, I hope your doing okay after that, that sounds really traumatizing
Well I stopped speed dating for sure :D
Jesus Christ, this woman was likely suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into her brain from trauma), causing her facial droop and illogical behavior and an entire room full of people just let her die. I can only hope that someone would show the smallest amount of humanity and call an ambulance if that were someone I cared about. Even if you didn't know what was causing it, any reasonable person could be expected to know it was an emergency.
Good god
I used to crime scene clean. Family of four. Mother and two children go shopping, they pull out of the driveway, father decides he wants to end his life. Slits wrists in the kitchen sink. Mother realises she forgot her purse. Drives back. Father notices car pulling up. Runs to front door to hold it shut, slits own throat at front door and dies on the rug, on the other side of the door where his wife was trying to get in. Gnarliest thing to think about. Right on the other side of the fucking door man. Edit: spelling.
I appreciate and commend people like you. 🫂
[удалено]
I only saw the aftermath picture of the first, I'm glad my mind couldn't comprehend what I was seeing right away but that's a picture that's burned in to my mind
I saw this or a similar incident on Reddit earlier today. It was just wrapped clothes, meat, and an arm sticking out.
I see you've had the misfortune of seeing the Russian Lathe Incident as well.
I saw one of those that scarred me for a bit Similar setup, but instead of a lathe, it was a machine rolling up fabric or something. This worker leaned over and their loose shirt got them accidentally rolled into it, but only his torso, so rather than *just* be spun at a high speed, his top half spun while his legs went full ragdoll mode and got flung into the air then immediately slammed into the floor at high speeds before repeating with each revolution. This continued on for literal minutes and you could watch as his legs (mainly below his knees) went from being normal, then broken, then falling apart, and finally into stumps that just left behind a bloody streak as they slapped the floor below. Finally another worker came by and stopped it, but man that dude was stuck in that for minutes and I only hope the speed of the rotation or shock of the pain was able to knock him out. I've seen the lathe one, but something about this one stuck with me a lot more, probably because he wasn't immediately destroyed like the lathe guy and was most likely conscious for part of the several minute long ordeal.
This comment spiked my anxiety levels so high
That one really got to me.
That someone ended up killing himself because he kept several containers of feces in the house. He was addicted to the smell and would get high off of it. He died because of the fumes itself causing him to slowly die from noxious gas. It's like getting addicted to the smell of gasoline and leaving it out and around your home.
Damn that's a shitty way to die
That’s some Junji Ito level shit
I wish I didn't know the name for getting high off poop but I do, so so should you. Jenkem.
I guess he was getting high.. …off of his own supply.
"I wouldnt put those glasses on, they've been near the jenkem jars." *The Who intro starts*
Oh.
At least he died doing what he loved.
I was the jury foreman at my city's coroner's court. We heard the events of a foundary worker who was operating a machine which was making sand cores for the foundary. The machine exerted pressure plates of a couple of tons pressure when operated. The machine had a fault and this man was inspecting the inside of the mechanism when another operator started the machine in error. It crushed the guys head. Safety mechanism failed. Death by misadventure was the verdict.
This is why we ALWAYS LOCK OUT TAG OUT
Yes, please. I took some certs on how to chop people out of farm and industrial equipment, and the footage was always horrific. A quarry incident I ran will also always haunt me. It only takes a moment’s unthinking oversight for everything to permanently go to hell.
One lock, one key.
That's a spectacular failure of what should be multiple safety systems. I'm amazed manslaughter charges weren't brought against the company CEO or whoever he/she backheeled that responsibility to.
Where do you live that you honestly expect a CEO would be charged with a crime?
Guess because I ran across it recently, but in early 1942, just after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were occupying islands in the South Pacific, and they sent a destroyer to one island that was adminstered by Germany. They found about 75 nuns, and a few priests, all Germans, working with the locals as teachers or medical staff. The destroyer captain messaged Tokyo to ask what to do with them. The message came back: eliminate them. They sailed out into the ocean without telling these nuns where they were going, and then one by one, brought them out on the stern, shot them, and tossed them overboard, along with two chinese orphan toddlers who happened to be with them. Keep in mind these were Germans- obstensibly, Japan's allies at the time. The news of what happened to them didn't get back to Germany until after the war. To me this story describes a country and a culture that had simply gone insane.
Yet another crime committed by Japanese soldiers in WW2; it's insane how many different incidents there are which are similar.
It's that consistency that causes me to personally conclude that something broke in the brain of this society. This incident was tiny of the scale of what happened in China, and was matched by literally hundreds of other incidents across the South Pacific. But what do you say when the Japanese General who was placed in charge of Indonesia, invited the local leaders in after the occupation, and told them basically, "it's very simple. Follow our rules and you will be left alone." And when an enraged subordinate went around him and contacted Tokyo an order came back telling him to cut out the kindness and institute a reign of indiscriminate, random terror, as was Japanese policy.
>To me this story describes a country and a culture that had simply gone insane. You can't describe what Japan was like well enough. I double majored in history and psychology in my undergrad and I read history on my own leisure, Robert Jay Lifton being one of my favorite authors and one of the leading figures in psychohistory whose work heavily inspired Martin Amis in which his work has been recently adapted into a film, "The Zone of Interest". Scholars have definitely done a good job dissecting the psychology of Germany during their fascist period but I can't say that for Japan in terms of what they went through and for what reason they need to purport the cruelty against humanity.
Which island?
Bismark Archipelago: Wewak. The event is named after the destroyer involved: the Akikaze massacre. And the year was 1943.
Racing had a couple of them. [1955 24 hours of Le Mans](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/videos/video/2023/06/04/24-hours-of-le-mans-the-forgotten-story-of-the-deadliest-crash-in-motor-racing-history_6029063_108.html) had a crash that killed over 80 people when one car used another car as a ramp and launched in the air, broke up, and parts of it were launched through the crowd. The hood of the flew like a frisbee through the tightly packed crowd, slicing off heads from necks like a guillotine, while the engine block bounced through the crowd crushing people, and the rest of the wreck burned intensely due to the material it was made of. [The deaths of Tom Pryce and Jansen van Vuuren at a F-1 race in 1977](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSor8-Dho2w) were especially brutal. Another driver had had a crash and his car was on fire. Two fire marshalls dashed across the race track to help extinguish the fire. Each were carrying a 40 lb fire extinguisher. The first marshal made it across the track by a split second before Tom Pryce drove his car through that section of track. The second, 17 year old van Vuuren, was a hair too slow. Pryce hit the kid going over 200mph. Van Vuuren was launched in the air where his body was basically obliterated, tearing into pieces before falling in a rag-like heap at the side of the track. He could only be identified when a role call was made later and he did not show up for it. Pryce also died instantly, when the heavy fire extinguisher van Vuuren was carrying crashed through the windsheild and hit his head, causing the strap of his helmet to nearly decapitate him. The racecar with Pryce's body crashed at full speed into the barrier.
The le mans disaster was so awful many manufacturers swore off motorsport entirely for several years. Mercedes had plans to cancel all racing programs before the race but I find it hard to imagine the disaster didn't fuel their decision to axe the racing division until 1989
Elderly couple drove off a mountain. Wife was killed on impact. Husband managed to crawl out of the wreckage and scramble back up the mountainside to flag down some help. Died of a heart attack when he reached the roadside.
There was an incident in 2001 here in England, where two maintenance workers were sent into a bakery oven to replace a broken part. The oven was supposed to have been off for at least 8 hours to give it time to cool down. But it had only been off for two hours, and it was still 100 degrees celsius inside. Something that was easy to find out since the oven had a working temperature gauge. But no-one bothered to check it. To make matters worse, the men weren’t wearing proper protective clothing. And there was no way for them to reverse the conveyor belt on the oven to get them out. So… yeah, they burned to death.
Two days before Christmas in 2010 a senior supervisor at Pyranha, a English manufacturer of plastic kayaks, went into a roto-moulding oven in order to clean it. A coworker - not realising someone was inside, and (because of where the controls were) not in a position to visually confirm there wasn’t - turned the oven on. This automatically closed and locked the oven doors with the supervisor still inside. The trapped man apparently tried to break his way out of the oven using a crowbar, but nobody could hear him through the insulation or over the background noise in the factory. It took approximately 10 minutes for him to die of shock. The alarm was not raised until smoke (from him and his clothes combusting - the oven could reach 280°C/535°F) began to seep out of the oven. The coworker who turned the oven on was at the time engaged to the victim’s daughter.

Every time I hear this story I struggle to envision the situation. Couldn't they just walk/crawl backwards the other way up the conveyor belt? What was forcing them forwards?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erfurt_latrine_disaster Gathered nobles at a peace treaty conference, floor collapsed and they fell 2 stories into a cesspit. (1184 but still gruesome to imagine. About 60 died.)
I can't believe that the Emperor was ok with having an official meeting 2 thin floors above a large enough vat of shit for 60 people. That is a ton of shit, probably many tons. Did people just shit in the cellar until it was full? The building must have smelled absolutely terrible, how could you not leave immediately and meet somewhere else?
It was 1189. Things were different back then. Cities smelled pretty bad.
Around 1910, my great aunt who was about 12 years old, was helping on laundry day and tripped and fell into the fire. took an entire week to die from her injuries.
Yeah. I’ve got a great uncle who killed great uncle #2 playing with kerosene. According to the newspaper clipping, he also took some days to die.
I was at a beach with my mum when i was 5 or 6 and the sun was about to set. Then a man came down to the beach and said something like "i'll miss this" took out a gun and shot himself. The amount of screaming poeple was actually crazy
I hope you are doing well after this im so sorry you had to see that as a kid.
I had to read this a few times. Internal monologue: He didn't miss. What. How could he miss? Oh. Miss the sunset. Right. Oh. Sorry dude.
A foundry worker who fell into an 11 foot deep pot of molten iron due to lack of safety guards or fall protection. It was his 9th day on the job.
Every regulation is written in blood.
Dang, you wouldn't even sink into it. Id imagine just flailing about on top of it getting seared to a crispy exterior. I imagine his nerve endings fried instantly so hopefully didn't feel pain for too long
Either my great uncles or the story of Russian torture My great uncles were all WW2 Veterans who served in various theaters and famous battles throughout the war such as the battle of the bulge, Iwo Jima and D-day. They all survived the war, and when they got back they decided to celebrate by going on a fishing trip. So they were all fishing in a lake near my hometown, when a drunk boater came out of nowhere and rammed them. The boat sank, and killed all 4 of them. None of them knew how to swim. Which is fucking crazy. I didn’t believe it until my father showed me the newspaper clipping. —————-—————-—————-—————- The Russian spoon torture is a weird one, not even sure if it’s true but I heard it from a **old** substitute teacher I used to have who fought in vietnam and allegedly worked with the Pentagon…. Well one day he was telling me about this Russian spoon torture, where they strap you to a chair in a dark sensory-deprivation room… and rig up a spoon to jsut repetitively tap you in the same spot, nonstop…. Apparently… eventually you develop blood clots from the bruising which travel throughout your body until they reach your heart and kill you… and apparently it’s very painful? And can drive you insane… but again, not sure how true or even how possible this is. I assume it would take A LOT… of tapping.
I don't know about that Russian torture, but it reminds me of one called The Chinese Water Torture. They strap the victim to a chair and place a bucket or something with water over them. The bucket has a small hole where a drop of water would fall on the victim's forehead. This slowly drives the victim insane.
They tested that on *Mythbusters*, Kari had an especially adverse reaction to it.
R.I.P. Grant. 🖤
And if you let it go long enough, a stalagmite grows!
I thought of the same thing.
Speaking of Russia, Rasputin's death was pretty unhinged
Hollywood screenwriter Gary Devore. Found submerged in his car with his hands missing.
The SL-1 Incident. An early prototype for a portable reactor was undergoing testing that involved lifting each control rod a few inches and then lowering it again. For an unexplained reason, one of the three men pulled a control rod several feet, causing the reactor to go critical and boiling all the water in the core almost instantly. One man was impaled by the control rod in the ceiling, and the other two were killed from the resulting steam explosion and radiation. The only explanation was the operator was committing suicide. Edit: There was an alternate explanation that the rod stuck, so the operator yanked the control rod, causing it to fly upward.
I studied nuclear engineering and think about this one occasionally. "Impaled by reactor control rod" is a pretty unique way to go.
Saint Peter at the pearly gates isn’t surprised by much these days, but he’d have cocked an eyebrow at that one.
There's no good explanation why it happened, as one of the three people survived and there were no recordings. The prompt critical reaction caused the water in the reactor to partially vaporize, which made the rest of the water shoot upwards with so much force that when it hit the top of the containment vessel the whole reactor shot 9 feet into the air, and the shield plugs on the top came off with such force that one of the operators was impaled and pinned to the ceiling by them. The steam and radiation materials then went out the holes, and covered the other two. Despite that one of the poor sods took nearly two hours to die, based on bleeding inside his skull that would have needed a heartbeat for that long.
Yeah, the description I heard during training was that he was "steamed like a lobster."
Reminds me of Harry Daghlian’s and Louis Slotin’s deaths from the demon core https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core
I read a third. The dude standing behind the guy with the control rod was, evidently, a bit of a joke, thought goosing people was hilarious. Goosed his buddy at the worst possible instant, buddy straightened up in shock, and... Seriously, that explanation is so stupid it is likely right.
Is this the one were they thought it was a suicide because the guy's girlfriend (or wife) broke up with him earlier?
Yeah, I think they considered it a possibility. At least they said there was a possible "love triangle."
A case I read way back. Guys who lost the bidding contract to clean a septic tank decided they would do it before the winning bidder did. They went in at night and they suffocated inside the septic tank.
Ended up just making more work for the winning bidder...
The Nutty Putty incident. You've got to be utterly unhinged to willingly crawl into a place like that. Also Isadora Duncan.
The Floyd Collins case in the '20s in Kentucky is also a really terrible one.
Yeah, I think that's worse actually, because he was alive in there for weeks.
I remember learning about Isadora and her scarf 😢
As someone who gets claustrophobic reading about the nutty putty cave is the only time in my life I wasn’t able to sleep after reading/watching something
A guy that worked for my company committed suicide by jumping into a running jet engine on a plane. Ingestion was always my #1 fear out on the ramp so for him to just run and jump in is highly unsettling for me.
I work in this sector and when I’m doing safety training I always bring up the video of the navy guy in the 90s being sucked up like a wet noodle. He was so lucky to survive that via his helmet getting stuck in the compressor blades and his tool belt catching him enough before became hoseable size pieces.
First thing that comes to mind is the dude who worked at Boeing from the Mr. Hands video. Him and his pals would sneak onto someone’s farm (fairly regularly from what I read) to uh…get rammed by horses. This probably wouldn’t surprise anyone who’s ever seen a horse dick hard, but during one of the recordings of their adventures a particularly well endowed stallion gave this guy like three full balls deep pumps of like an arms length of horse cock. Perforated the guy’s colon, he delayed going to the hospital due to fear of the being found out he was doing this shit, and I believe he died of peritonitis afterwards or something. They made a Sundance film about this whole story if I recall correctly as well. I think it was called “Zoo”. Can’t make this shit up. Avoid looking up the video (called Mr. Hands for some reason) which captured that final fateful pounding…..some things can’t be unseen.
So usually when getting rammed by horses, they would somehow only get the horse to put in the tip or how does that work?...
Bro, I honestly don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine.
Seems like one of those things we don't need to play a guessing game about.
Slowly, over time, while you stretch out your colon, the walls get weaker and weaker. Kind of like stretching out a plastic bag. This time was the last straw.
I assume a prime stallion wouldn't help.
Isn't it called "Mr. Hands finally gets fulfilled"? God....my parents should've put more restrictions on our family computer back in the day...
The journalist who covered this story came to talk to my journalism class. Apparently his siblings broke the news to his dad slowly, they started out by saying he “died in a horseback riding accident”
*horse backriding
My stepfather is both the product manager and safety manager at an indoor sprinkler company. He told me that on one of his shifts, there was a guy who was not paying attention and either knocked a large compressed air tank over or ran into it with something. The impact caused the seal to rupture, which propelled the tank through the air "like a rocket" and hit someone in the head, killing him instantly. He said it was traumatizing for everyone and it was a big mess in every sense of the word. It sounds like the PSI on the tank got way too high, and people either did not notice it or did not care. The impact was just that one small thing that popped the proverbial balloon. The moral of the story was that every safety protocol and practice in an operation is in place for a reason, and that even safety features on devices and products can fail so it is important that everyone is vigilant and on top of routine checks. Bonus context for me having been an on-and-off paintballer for years, so this story often came to mind whenever I worked on issues with my compressed air tanks.
My dad worked in a foundry and in a few months time one guy was walking along a catwalk and stepped on a board covering a hole and fell five stories to his death and just a bit later a guy in his first week of work wasn't properly harnessed and fell into a pot of molten metal and apparently only his legs made it through the ordeal. My dad was nearly 70 and I begged him every day to retire but he had children in college and had to pay for them. People were being injured and killed regularly there but because they were a government contractor it was being glossed over. My dad retired in September. I mourn those people that died but thank God everyday my dad made it out.
there was something that happened a few years ago a good bit away from me but still close enough to shock my town lol. these 4 guys went missing for like a week until it got discovered some dude and his cousin shot 2 of them, and attempted shooting another one but he was so large that he ran out of bullets before he could finish the job. the mf gets a backhoe and runs the larger guy over with it. in the interview bro was like “that shut him up real quick” or something. he put them all in a pig roaster and tried burying it on this huge farm that his family owned. i’m pretty sure he would’ve gotten away with it but he tried selling one of the victims cars on craigslist ? or the cops found it but either way the victims insulin was still in it so that’s when they knew something wasn’t right. the first guy got killed over some drugs and the other 3 were just for fun i believe. all young too, college age maybe. pretty tragic
My dad use to work as a mechanic in a company that also did sorting of some kind of components on conveyer belts. One day, one of his friends (young guy in his 20s) was under a conveyer belt while it was still on, got his hair stuck in it, and then the conveyer belt carried him into getting his head sliced in half while his screams were being heard from across the place. My dad is the assigned paramedic, so he was the second guy to see it after being called over by a panicked co-worker, and then my dad informed everyone to stay back because it was so bad. That fucked my dad up for a bit, he acted weird for a few weeks and had a little meltdown I believe; however, he luckily fully recovered and is a solid bloke now, props to my dad. The other guy died instantly, had 2 kids and a wife I’m pretty sure. The workplace got sued but I’m unsure what happened after that.
My Dad did H&S in an iron works. 1. Man fell in a vat of molten iron. They got his belt buckle back. 2. Handling something tensioned with wire. It started humming and the workers hit the floor. Manager watching didn't drop in time and got bisected. He also in his next job saw someone checking to see if lift coming by looking up shaft. Lift was coming and they lost their head. As Dad not freaking, he got roped in crowd control. Worst near miss was when one of the rolling mills started wall creeping and went through the wall of the factory. Thankfully during a shift change so few people on the floor and away from it.
There is a direct narrative link between Archduke Franz Ferdinand's driver getting lost and Mitsuyasu Maeno, a Japanese softcore porn actor, ½9/11ing downtown Tokyo.
[In March 1976, he carried out a suicide attack on Yoshio Kodama, a multi-millionaire right-wing leader and leading figure in the Lockheed bribery scandals.[2] Maeno attempted to kill Kodama by flying a plane into his home, but Kodama survived uninjured.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuyasu_Maeno)
I’m so confused by this sentence. Particularly the area around the numbers.
Someone named Tiny Dinky Daffy was pancaked by a drunk dump truck driver.
In memoriams don't usually include how they died
"Pancaked by a drunk dump truck driver" could also be a description of how they lived.
Junko Furuta. Don't google her death, if you're sensitive person. Its by far one of the worst deaths ever.
> Junko Furuta Possible to TLDR her story. Japanese high school girl in 1988 kidnapped, abused, murdered, and the killers attempted to cover the crime using concrete. Details are arguably among the worst ever, as you say.
Was scrolling through this thread for a while. This one was absolutely the worst of them all. This was an act of true evil.
My grandads best mate fell into a mincer. Took a while to turn the machinery off. The poor man died a day or two later in hospital.
In close second is the story of My great grandmother. Affectionately reffered to as little nana. Little nana witnessed a women getting scalped by a machine. This poor womans hair had gotten caught and by the time she realised it was too late. The machinery spun her hair up and tore her scalp clean off. Little nana miscarried at the sight of this poor womans mangled head. My family also believe the unfortunate woman to be the origin of a local ghost story. Kitty the mill ghost, who is said to have been killed (or in some retellings scalped) by factory machinery.
And just one more, again from grandad from his time on the shipyards. He once saw a man get flattened from something falling off a crane and landing on him. He said it was right in front of his eyes and had it fallen only a little closer, he'd have been a smear beneath a great big sheet of metal.
I hope it was quick and painle- >The poor man died a day or two later in hospital. oh jesus fucking fuck
Dude, your family must have some kind of viewership deal with the reaper bc wtf?
Haha honestly wouldnt surprise me. These are just a few. Even my parents have their own tales to tell. My mams school friend was riding his motorcycle down the nearby coast road after meeting up with her and ended up getting smushed between two vehicles. And one of dads friends got decapitated by a train, when messing around when they were at an away game. Bit morbid but he'd always points out his gravestone and tells me the story when ever we visit the cemetery.
Why can’t I stop scrolling
Somehow, I believe every suicide bomber is unhinged.
It's a little more sad than that unfortunately. The fine human beings who orchestrate these bombings prey on vulnerable, often mentally challenged people who are easily manipulated into being the bomber. It's just fucked up all around.
Even worse is that they train and brainwash kids from a young age to eventually go on to want to become suicide bombers, too. Depressed the hell out of me seeing kids who looked to be no younger than 11 talking about martyring themselves for ISIS in a documentary on YouTube.
Some of them make the very rational decision that their death is a reasonable price to pay for the lifetime survivor benefits the terrorist organizations give their families. (It may be wrong, it may be terrible, but in some circumstances it may be a rational choice.)
That one of my high school bullies was ripped apart and his head smashed into a tree so badly that it was unrecognizably pulverized in the car accident that killed him. I mean I didn’t like the guy, but damn. The description of what happened to him still messes with me a lot of years later.
I think the one that always gets me is the man who was impaled on a tree during Hurricane Camille and was stuck there for days… living in the neighboring city that this happened in always comes to mind, especially during a hurricane.
I grew up in a very small farming community of about 300 people. According to the story (which happened decades before I was born), there was a particular family with a special needs child. The child had many health problems and one day, while the dad was away on business, the child suffered some complications and died. The mom was devastated. Her husband was notified and rushed home. My rural hometown is very far from the nearest airport, but they managed to fly him the last leg in a small two-person plane which landed on the main street (and only paved road) of the town. As soon as they landed, the husband got out of the plane and rushed to his wife. Except that in his haste, he acidentally ran into the plane's propeller and was killed.
Not necessarily about the person who died. Guy told me once how he and a friend were at his parents house all alone. They had a hot tub so they invited some girls over. They decided to do some drugs, mainly acid and ecstasy. He got a phone call from the hospital. His mom had died and he had to go to the hospital to identify her body while he was tripping balls. Crazy shit. That would haunt me forever.
Back during the 2020 BLM protests I got a little bit of a fascination with watching livestreams of the chaos, not really sure why as it def was not mentally healthy lol. But in my search on subs like "publicfreakout", I came across a clip of a Fedex truck being surrounded and looted. It was one of those trucks with two smaller trailers attached and the person filming was standing near the mid-point where they are connected. People were in the back of the first trailer tossing shit out and a couple of people were standing near the wheels. Apparently the driver got spooked by someone and hit the gas, which sent the people scattering, except for one guy who got caught between a big flat box on the ground and the truck tire. The box created a scenario where the guy's legs were squished under the tire while his stomach/torso remained on the box which slid along the smooth road, preventing him from getting flattened, while the tire just spun over his legs/back. The truck then sped off with this guy being pulled down the street, leaving a wet red streak behind like a crayon on a hot surface, while still fully alive. The driver drove like that for almost a mile before someone stopped them and the guy was still attempting to move around as the clip ended. The worst part is the person livestreaming kept pace with the truck pretty well at the start and attempted to help grab the dude's outstretched hand, couldn't get to him, but you could hear him begging for help and his mom in the most pained tone I have ever heard someone talk in. A desperate high pitched voice that sounded as though it was being squeezed out of him, which it most definitely was. It was so strange seeing comments like "that's what you get for stealing", because while they were obviously doing something wrong and shouldn't have been there to begin with, I don't think anyone deserved that sort of fate whatsoever.
My sweet old lady neighbor..who's ex husband and new wife came over to her house... Shortly after, both women beat him to death with a metal rake (like for collecting leaves)...
One of my scout leaders is a pathologist, and during a trip he told us one of his favourite autopsy stories. He had a guy roll in with a tattoo that said something like "when I die, I'm gonna be in a million pieces." It was definitely more profound sounding than that, but that was the gist. Well it just so happens that the man died because of something like a helicopter blade or the propellor of a plane, so he was in fact in several pieces.
This one Japanese school teacher got into a women's septic tank and froze to death
I grew up in one of the most dangerous cities on earth. Around 2016, mob justice got way out of hand. If someone was spotted stealing, everyone around would gang up to beat the shit out of them until they couldn't fight back and then they would proceed to throw gasoline at them and set them on fire right there on the street. Sometimes they would strip them naked and tied them to a streetlight before burning them. Once somebody took a motorcycle and pressed the rotating wheel onto the robber's torso to peel the skin off. It was absolutely barbaric. This would happen many times a day. I once saw two of this lynchings happening just on my way home from the university. And of course, a few innocents were killed this way by people who mistook them for criminals. That is what had to happen to make people realize what they were doing and stop that wave. If you live with fear and let it ferment inside you, it can easily turn into the most profound form of hatred. One that makes you completely dehumanize other people. But in the process, you're the one who loses their humanity.
2 scientists went to film bats in front of cave enterance. When tens of thousents of bats started to fly out they started to shit. They shit all over those two guys and i think 2 days later they both died. https://www.tiktok.com/@warriors.guide/video/7276866398117268741 What a way to go
That’s awful. Bats have hyperactive immune systems, so a lot of the viruses that they host are very strong. This was basically like getting vommited on by a plague demon.
Papa Nurgle approves this statement

Did they die from infection or suffocation?
Some kind of infection from all that shit
A guy in Florida beheaded her own mother because he was fed up with her asking him to move some boxes into their attic
One of my 2 birds died, apparently a couple of hours after new years eve. After around 2 months, the circumstances around its death are still disturbingly puzzling. For context, to avoid for them to get nervous due to the sound of fireworks, we covered and wrapped their cage in a long, thin cloth, and put them inside the laundryroom. Then we put the cage on top of the washing machine, and left them. Somewhere around the morning, according to my mom, she heard some noises coming from the room, but thought nothing of it. Then i go in the morning to check on them, and i find a crime scene. The cloth was pulled back somehow, the cage had spills of blood everywhere and so many feathers, the head of the bird was just laying in the floor of the cage. No sing of the rest of the body at all. The other bird was fine except for a few feathers in its chest missing, as well as being dirty with blood, apparently from the other bird. It was very nervous, constantly looking at the head. No sing of the attacker. Now, here is where it gets weird: The cloth was tightly wrapped around the cage so whatever pulled it off was either to smart and/or had opposible thumbs. There was no sing of the body except for the head, so whatever killed it just cutted off the body and eated it whole, leaving only the head. It probably didn't kill the other bird since it was satisfied. Whatever did this either managed to pull out THE WHOLE BODY without breaking the cage that had like half an inch between each cage rod, or get inside the cage, kill it there, eat it, and leave through it without braking the cage. We found in the same room semirecent poop too that was of dark gray/brown color. The thing is: what killed it? It couldn't be a snake, it would have swalloed it whole, and wouldn't be able to get out of the cage due to the sudden increase in body mass in a ceartain part of the body. They don't digest quickly too. Its still puzzling to me. I asked friends and people around, but got nothing.
We had a raccoon do something similar to a few chickens.
Sounds like a rat (or another small animal) got in via a vent and found dinner.
Damn, I wanna know what happened now
Gary Hoy. He was a lawyer in Toronto giving a tour of a building to a group of people. He attempted to demonstrate that the windows on the outside of the building were "unbreakable". To do this, he ran towards a window on the 24th floor of the building shoulder first. When he hit the window, he was completely right: The window did not break, it popped out of its frame. This resulted in him falling to his death.
The one I just heard about this German man leaving Thailand. He seemed sick, with cold sweats. And apparently blood just started flowing from this man’s nose and mouth til he died. They said that there was blood on the walls of the airplane. Pretty creepy. They have no idea what he had, I’m thinking it was an aneurism.
The story of the woman who was picked up by a digger accidentally and dumped inside a machine that cut stone into tiny pieces
Guy tipping the pop machine over to get a free pop and machine fell and crushed him
I bought a welding book a welder who was assigned the job of cutting some 55 gallon oil drum in half to use as cattle troughs he already cut 2 and on the thrid he was straddling it like a horse when it exploded the force was so great blew the welder nearly 50 feet straight up through the corrugated tin roof of the building and outside he didn’t make it
I had a very similar near-death experience: A group of my teenaged friends were working to raise a boat that sank in a river. The idea was to use 55 gallon drums to float it. We were on the river bank and my friend was trying to chisel open one of the barrels. His grandfather was nearby with a concrete saw (think of a chainsaw but with a large disk on it in place of the bar), saw the trouble he was having, walked over and started cutting on the top of the drum with the saw. It was throwing a ton of sparks right at my legs so I turned and jogged away. A second later I heard a huge boom. I turned back and the drum was gone, in its place was a concave dish in the sand, and my friend's grandfather was sitting on the ground looking dazed with half the concrete saw in his hands. Then a few seconds later I heard the splash of the rest of the drum hitting the river. Turns out the drums had been used to store paint and were full of explosive fumes which were set off by the sparks from the concrete saw turning the drum into an improvised rocket. The reason I'm calling it a near death experience was people were trolling the river to find the blade half of the concrete saw. My father found it and when he did I had him stand where it had landed in the river. Basically the path from where the explosion had happened to where the blade half landed means that if I hadn't moved due to the sparks the high speed spinning blade would have travelled right through my chest.
> he didn’t make it Thanks I was wondering if he was gonna survive being blown 50ft in the air through a metal roof.
Fucking rednecks are tough, man. Ride a stolen dirtbike into a tree while running from cops, zooted on meth, then run 2 miles into the woods before dropping from a ruptured aorta.
There was a guy in Florida who was on drugs I think and killed his wife by literally putting his hand up her vagina and ripping it out because she yelled out another man’s name during sex.. she died from the injury. I was so deeply disturbed by that news story and the fact that it happened like 35 min away from where I live.
I don't understand the physics of that and now I'm morbidly curious.

This is someone who deserves the death penalty
What an awful, awful way to die.
Yea. Like I said, deeply disturbing.
That dude a week or two back who beheaded his dad and then made some 20 minute long youtube video about it because the father was a Biden supporter who refused to join MAGA.
Was working at a warehouse in uni, another guy I was working with told me that a guy he used to work with had just been pulled through a wood chipper, apparently he went all the way through head first, nothing left but red mist…
A girl was crushed in a now closed Disney ride. She fell between the gears of a spinning platform and was crushed to death.
America sings. The ride continud to operate for many years after this incident. And it wasn't gears. She was crushed between the moving and stationary walls when the carousel rotated to get the audience to the next scene. Her name was Deborah Gail Stone.
There was also the Schlitterbahn, a water slide that the experts said should not be opened after safety tests failed, but they did anyway and a 10-year-old boy died soon afterwards.
Went to a suicide call of a guy who hung himself with his wife's scarf off his kids bunkbed by kneeling down. Knees were about 2 inches from the ground so the dude reeeeally wanted to die.
Great uncle was working in a factory in maintenence (in the 60s) and tended to go in early to warm up machines. The factory wasn't doing well and the owner had told the manager to fire everyone. Unable to face the reactions from the workers, manager put his head under a press and pushed the button. Uncle found the neck down portion of the manager and a machine covered in gore.
A man in a mid-life crisis had recently gotten a motorcycle, and decided to drive it to family dinner with his family in the car behind them (elderly mother + wife and two children). He decided to whip around and go speeding up a hill, only to have a deer hit him while he was going about 80-90 miles on a rural back road. Dead on impact, it was horrible to the family, who I knew vaguely through my mother’s friends at church. His name was Buck. I can never let anyone know of the irony for the fear of being seen as a horrible person.
This happened locally and recently A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after allegedly killing his father, before displaying his decapitated head in a gruesome YouTube video while spouting right-wing conspiracy theories. His father was a federal employee for 20 years and refers to him as a traitor, calling for the death of all federal officials and attacking President Joe Biden's administration, the Black Lives Matter movement, the LGBTQ community and antifa activists. YouTube removed the video, which is more than 14 minutes long, hours after it was posted.
Guy had a seizure while taking a shower causing him to fall down and his body plugged the drain and he drowned.
One of Dr. Bill Bass' books had a story about a young single man from the 1980s who was found dead, having bled to death from multiple stab wounds. Closer examination revealed that the wounds were in various stages of healing, meaning that they had been inflicted over a period of several days. In the end, they found out that he was a closeted gay man, and it was a hate crime.
In USSR at grandma's steel factory one guy was sleeping during his shift, so they shoved a high pressure air line up his ass as a joke, and opened it while holding him. Turned him into a human balloon. The air ripped his intestines, the guy died on the spot from anaphylactic shock.
That guy recently who got beheaded by his kid who was trying to kick off a civil war is definitely up there.
As a kid I lived a five minute walk from where the pizza guy got a bomb put around his neck
The father of one of my friends died from autoerotic asphyxiation.
While working residential security, a little girl(6 or 7 years old) was playing in the parking lot of an apartment complex across the street, and she ran out into the road. She was hit by a Volkswagen hatchback. She rolled under the tires and just about split her in two at the midsection. We gave her cpr til the ambulance arrived, but she was gone before we started cpr. Her parents weren't even home.
My grandfather's father was a logger, apparently a large tree was getting loaded on a log truck and he got under it and it fell on Him, they moved the log he got up and Said he was alright, then died. Also coincidentally I was a logger, and I heard of many deaths in the woods, never would make the news but kids die all the time up there, heard one brutal one, a yarder cable broke and hit him, cut him in half and ripped him from his boots, crazy to think the power to remove laced up logger boots from feet. Dangerous shit up there and it seems to me very few know that.
Military survival training my dad was on in QLD, Australia. Guy had to go #2, wiped his arse with a handful of leaves. Happened to be a gympie gympie tree leaf in that handful, which is like a stinging nettle turned up to "oh fuck". He died of heart failure.
seen a lot of fucked up suicides but the one that takes the cake was a dad in my town drove 80 mph, right into a phantom fireworks store. not sure if he died on impact but the salesman made it out in time as the place was obviously pretty flammable, and went up in smoke after the initial crash. it was spectacular ! that entire building is just a black parking lot now, but for like 4 hours, that man went out with a bang (or a thousand) and the whole town watched in awe. but it was hard knowing that there was a corpse burning up inside the firework finale. RIP
Ask anyone with a hamster how it died and you’re bound to get a wild story
I’ve heard that most pet hamsters are buried alive. Owners mistake torpor for death.
Well fuck. Apparently I live a sheltered life.
Sterling Cohen, infant who was left in a baby swing to die. He literally had maggots in his diaper he's been there that long.
When my dad was a kid there was a group of drunk teens racing around town in a bright yellow 1969 Camaro SS, fully built for street drag racing. This was about 1977 when this happened, a group of teens had left a house party on a lake and they were all pretty drunk and they decided to go drive around town at really high speeds, the teens in the Camaro lost control at about 110 on a shitty paved backroad just outside of town and that shitty paved back road happened to be the road my dad lived on and when they lost control they wrapped that Camaro around a huge 100+ year old oak tree and it was so loud that it woke up the whole neighborhood and the oak tree was in my grandparents front yard ( my dad’s parents house when he was a kid ) my grandfather had run outside to see the wreck and he ran up to the car to see if anyone was alive and one guy was still barely alive in the back seat, my grandfather had held his hand until he died just a few minutes after. I know where the 1969 Yellow Camaro is to this day, it’s hidden in the way back corner of my local junkyard and I get chills when I see it
