Most Shocking/Amazing thing you have ever seen in person.

[Tanin]

I once bit off my tongue and watched it flop onto the floor

 

[knowsbleed]

I hate it when that happens.

 

[Untilteld]

When I was in the ninth grade, me and some other classmates were bored and throwing pencils at the ceiling and seeing how long they'd stick. After about four or five pencils, the bell rang for lunch and I got up and one of the pencils landed perfectly in my hand.

 

[bullets]

I seen my dog die in my arms. Call me a coward, but if I could take one memory back, it would be that.

That is understandable. My dog was run over and when we took him to the animal hospital i saw the poor thing with tubes coming in and out every which way, i was thirteen at the time and that caused me to puke .
He died later that evening , its one of my worst memories.


It's hard to pinpoint what was most shocking about my time in Iraq but there is one thing that really stands out that caught me completely off guard.
It was late at night and my squad were pulling over cars at an intersection ; It was a random checkpoint . A vehicle pulled up with a young couple asking if we could take their baby because it was sick and needed medical attention . My squad leader said we couldn't anything and they would have to go to an iraq medical center. I saw an iraqi ambulance pulling through(lights off) and flagged them down . When they pulled over a side door opened and in it revealed two medics and a girl with her throat
slashed on the gurney . The girl was clearly deceased but she was also a girl in our area who would come by at least twice a week and I would give her food . She had to be the nicest one because she was never greedy about while the other kids fought but she did try to keep them in check. She would disperse it and the kids would share. I couldn't believe she was murdered so brutally .

 

[Sawyer]

Okay, heres the story. I had just come back from Vietnam. I was hitchhiking through Oregon and some cops started harassing me. The next thing I know, I had a whole army of cops chasing me through the woods. I had to take them all out. It was a complete bloodbath.

Needless to say, that was pretty shocking/amazing.

Hey! I think I saw the documentary they made about you with Stallone. Crazy stuff man, that sheriff was way out of line.

Most shocking thing I've ever seen would have to be watching my own hand get caught in a sewing machine. Damn home economics. That was about 6 years ago now and I've never regained the feeling in two of my fingers.

Stallone didnt do me justice. You couldnt understand a Goddamn word he was saying!

 

[The Navigator]

An igloo.

That I built with my own two hands.

 

[rizzo51]

i saw a friend od on speed, she liked to shoot it up and one night her body finally said no and she od'd in front of me, had to drag her to my car and drop her off in front of the emergency room door.

 

[Abstract]

Thats, pretty hardcore pulp fiction stuff man.

3 pages in and no one has mention Batman and Robin yet. What gives?

 

[Logan's Runt]

I once bounced a kickball off of a kid's head and made a basket.

 

[The Guard]

I saw a fellow baseball player, a third baseman, bragging about how he didn't need to wear a cup...and then without another word, my coach, who was standing at home plate, smashed a line drive right into his testicles.

He needed a cup.

 

[Nirvana]

I sliced off my two left fingers on a meat slicer, my pinky and ring finger. Thankfully they were both sown on again. I was scared to death.

Check post #13 on the first page.

 

[Silk Spectre]

I almost lost the tip of my right ring finger when I was seven. They had this tram/zip line type thing at the playground. I had my hand in the part in the mechanism, and when the next person came across and sliced into my finger and bruised the bone. In the process the nerve had been severed and as a 7 year old kid I figured since it didn't hurt, it wasn't that bad of an injury. After it didn't stop bleeding for like 10 minutes I knew something was wrong so I showed my girl scout troop leader and she freaked. We were going to leave for the hospital and she was so upset she hit another car in the parking lot of the playground.

Personally, I seen the top of my woodworking teacher's fingers cut off by a bandsaw.

Ouch

Luckily, I never saw anything particularly shocking

I seen a cat get hit by a car once, it happened just a few feet away from me. I heard it cry out in pain, and I ran to pick it up. It was still alive, and badly injured. I just remember it's breathing being very labored and seeing part of its leg muscle sticking out. It really is an image that will never leave my mind.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I saw a huge dump truck get t-boned by an 18 wheeler one time. I was driving down the road, and saw this dump truck pulling out to turn and then WHAM, this 18 wheeler slams into the side of it. I had to look again to make sure I had actually seen it. It was probably the loudest collision I've ever heard or seen in my life.

 

[BlackLantern]

Driving to Maine on a long straight stretch of highway....saw a car about a quarter mile ahead whose engine exploded and caught fire, the car veered off to the shoulder and just burned as we drove by....

 

[spideyboy_1111]

ok... i have a question... ive read one response of a guy "dropping off" his OD-ing friend at an ER, and now a "drive by as car is burning" .... wtf? why not stay and make sure your friend is alive, or help the person in the burning car?

I was 10 and my stepdad is a prick....he said something mean and we kept driving

 

[gap5ewl]

Al Sharpton's hair.

 

[Bunker]

Seeing my dad almost die when his Appendix exploded.

 

[Honey Vibe]

The day I moved out of my mother's house, all the plumbing -- the sinks, the bath tubs, the toilets, everything -- shot water unexplainably. It stopped as suddenly as it started. The HOA's investigation could not figure out what happened, or why it wouldn't have affected the other houses connected to the pipe lines.

 

[Gilpesh]

The most amazing thing I have ever seen in person...

Some kid just walking right into a pole and smacking his face hard against it and he wasn't even looking in that direction.
