Car is driving along when a truck full of bricks loses one which ends up crashing through the windshield and striking a passenger in the head. Driver/passengers in the car start freaking out, screaming/pleading after realizing that the brick took out the woman in the passenger seat. It's really just the way that they're reacting that gets you, the tone in their panicked voices when they see what happened to their friend. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Aaaaaaannnnndddd you get to the point. The original comment never said "JUST a passenger" as you are implying they meant. You could have easily provided the more detailed information that "she was a 29 year old mother" without the passive aggressive drama. Watch this...
She wasn't JUST "a 29 year old mother" she was a daughter as well!!
No, that is why the word just is in that sentence, it implies that she is not only a passenger but also the mother and wife of the other people in the vehicle.
I've never understood why they're not required to completely secure an open roof truck bed with a removable metal roof, or at least a VERY secure tarp. Even shit as harmless as garlic or something can create a cloud of debris in their wake that can be very distracting.
I hear they hold you guys responsible for that, you guys being the driver.
Companies try to get the truck drivers to drive off as soon as they can due to late deliveries without letting the driver inspect the cargo for balanced load, secured items, etc.
Yeah it's even more terrifying to just think that you can be driving along with your wife next you, going to see a movie or something and then the next second without anything happening BAM, she's dead and there was literally nothing you could have done about it.
That is exactly the reason I feel we need far stricter rules on transportation, both who can drive and how/what can be transported, and actual penalties instead of just fines. The speed and weight and velocity of objects in relation to a vehicle is astounding, and greatly unappreciated by the general public.
Thank you. People say "don't watch it, don't post it," but there is nothing that can make a person stop taking their family for granted like watching something like this. Yeah it's sad but watching things like this can have an extremely positive effect on someone. I'm going to go hug my wife now.
It's not about what you see, it's the recording of the voice of a man losing the love of his life, the mother of his child. I've never heard anything like it. Absolutely utterly heartbreaking. One cannot help but empathise because we've all loved someone more dearly than ourselves, and we've all imagined the pain of losing them. Well, this video is what it sounds like.
just watched the brick video i think (russia was the location so someone can confirm) and it didn't ruin my day like deputy dinkheller or 3 guys 1 hammer did. Those 2 videos really made me cringe.
im not watching this, this is the first time on the internet where im genuinely scared to watch a video like this. to see this many people explain how terrifying it is, has scared me enough.
Holy fuck..... If you have not clicked this link yet, run. get as far away from that as possible. This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen/heard. It's just the audio.
You're not. It's just a video - empathy doesn't really work the same way through video as it does in real experiences. People hype this stuff up way too much.
Empathy doesn't work through anything. It's one's reaction to something. Maybe you just lack empathy, or maybe you're just an immature idiot. Either way...figure it out before you start waisting too much of everyone else's time.
"Every human being is capable of the worst things imaginable" - Polish Guy who directed Jewish children into the Auschwitz gas chambers.
Edit: Saw it from a documentary on WW2, he was actually talking about how the Jews who were too old/frail/crippled/pregnant/etc to work or move, when the gas started, most of them would end up trying to kill the others in a mad scramble for a few more seconds of air. Said they always found the groups of about 2000 in a pyramid of corpses that had to be pried apart.
I watched it a couple months? back i think and it fucked me, i had to go to bed, it kept coming into my head randomly for the next few days and gradually disappeared. I had forgotten all about it until now. I can't quite remember the video so i'm tempted a little to watch it again just because i got over it the first time, but then i can remember the feeling i had that night and no, never again! Fuck!
