Fortunately, no.

I'm a very empathetic person, though, so it's easy for me to imagine. One of my skills is being able to put myself in other people's shoes.

An Xbox friend of mine died in the Toowoomba floods back in 2011. Not very enjoyable imagining getting swept away by a brown tsunami of water.
I'm just gonna say this:
If I was to die in a Tsunami, being killed by a tsunami named Toowoomba would my ideal way to go.
The town was called Toowoomba.

Wasn't exactly an enjoyable day
the people in the video sound as though they are enjoying themselves

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

you didn't actually see him die though, which is what you were asking in OP

No, I'm fairly sure I did. At least when they stopped trying to resuscitate him. I thought they were moving him to the cardiac ICU. It turns out they were sending him wherever they send the recently deceased.

yeah, like an hour and a half ago I saw someone get their head sawed off with a hunting knife

It does make you wonder, how do ER docs deal with seeing this day in and day out? I wish Bobcast were up. I'd love to hear his prospective on this.

My Grandfather, he died from cancer. I was there at the end.

And almost my neighbor. Found him on the street lying in his own blood and the temperatur was -20 degress.
He had slipped when he was going to get the newspaper.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

Until an hour later when they found out ten people died in their town alone.

25 people in total, from the town in the video and the Lockyer Valley down river, which was mostly wiped out.

People die.
Boo boo.
Would you feel complete if I told you that I thought you were über manly for posting that?

Yeah d00d totaly lol lmao.
No.
Its a cold fact.

Well when you lose a parent, sibling, spouse, child, or friend, I'll be sure to comfort you with a "people die, boo hoo" and give you 0 sympathy.

I indeed have lost someone.

Good.

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

War grants one with much responsibility for those who died under their thrall

My dad's an ER doc.
Each case is different according to him. When you're working you can't let emotions get to you, it's after the fact that they've passed can you think about it. My dad says at first it's really hard, and as douche as it sounds to say, you pretty much get used to it. You have to realize that you did all you could do. For my father its hardest when it's a child, naturally.

I'm studying to be nurse and plan on working in the ER at some point. I know this will be a fact of life for me. I'm a strong person but I don't know how it'll affect me. I would love to hear what Bobcast has to say too.

makes sense.

I'll say this Bobcast, your dad... They are better men than I am. I'm all tripped out, and I was just in the room.

Yeah, I was there when my Grandpa passed away. We all sat around the bed, taking turns in holding his hand and talking about his life.
It was a good way to say goodbye, even though he was in an induced coma the whole time. At 10:15PM he just stopped breathing and that was that.

Religion is stupid. Halo is amazing.

Yeah, I slowly watched my father die from lung cancer. It was only last year too.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

My dog, cat and goat were put down in front of me, and two of them were closer to me than most people. My cat, Queen, had a stroke outside of our house, and it was only by chance that I took the garabage out that early to hear her howling close by. Upon finding her, I took her back to my kitchen and put her on the floor. Her back end slipped and fell on the floor when she had control herself, so my mom and I thought she had been hit by a car.

We then take her to the emergency vet with me breaking down with the knowledge that I potentially will be losing a childhood friend. My mom tells me to leave with dad since I'm actually showing such emotion for a cat, and that I'm making her uncomfortable, or something along those lines. Granted, this is the same woman who told me to suck it up after my seventh (yes, seventh since my parents insist that cats are expendable and should be allowed outside to be eaten by coyotes and kill moles which aren't causing problems) cat went missing and I was randomly crying for a week, but that's besides the point, and more of a personal rant for me.

Queen is recommended to be put down by the vets since her lungs are filling with mucus and she would eventually drown to death, from the inside, without routine surgery to drain the fluid. Now, Queen routinely bit and slapped people and cats to get them to stop doing something, since she was a very fussy individual. After her stroke, it finally clicked for me that she actually held a great deal of restraint to make sure she didn't hurt us. The stroke caused her to fear for her life with the loss of her legs, and she bot me as hard as she could at one point. This particular bite pierced the skin and flesh of my hand, making me realize that she had more power than I had ever known.

An hour later, she is placed on a table for euthanization, and she wouldn't stop fighting the vet who was restraining her. The vet lets me keep her in one spot, although she's still growling and attempting to attack the vet and I, so I had to actually restrain her a little bit. I pet her and try to keep her calm, (crazily) telling her "They'll never get you" in reference to the coyotes that were likely responsible for the disappearance of our other cats. I don't remember exactly how long she stayed alive after she was injected with whatever fluid that was used to end her, and I don't think I want to, but she was gone quickly.

Here is the Slayer of Cake. May he find piece in death after a life full of violence and unrest battling the tyranny of desserts.

Thankfully, no.

  • 12.28.2012 3:42 AM PDT

Fortunately no! But I came close when my buddy and I were storm chasing in Parkersburg Iowa back on May 25th 2008, we were chasing the super cell close to an hour before it produced the tornado. We entered the southern part of Parkersburg only minutes after the large EF5 passed through. Everything was flattened, and the first thing we came upon was a lady asking us to call 911, and also informed us her elderly neighbors did not survive the tornado.

Yea, my great grandmother. Thankfully i was there for her final moments.

You want to talk about something that really changes your perspective, I was locked up in cell for several hours with someone who KILLED A PERSON. I didn't learn that until I heard what happened on the local news, but I felt this chilling aura just being near the guy. A sort of emptiness in his eyes... I pretty much avoided eye contact as much as possible after getting a glance at them. Ugh.

  • 12.28.2012 4:20 AM PDT

The cake is a pie

No. I've also never seen a human corpse in person. It's very strange, you'd think I would have seen one by now.
