Another one I saw was at the Wal Mart parking lot in Cranbrook.

I was sitting in my truck waiting for my brother and across the parking lot a guy had dropped off his wife and little girl who must've been about 6 years old.

The mom had started walking towards the front entrance and the little girl had put her finger in the hole where a hitch ball would go on the bumper of her dad's truck. He pulled away and dragged his daughter the length of the parking lot my nothing but her finger being caught in this hole. Finally a group of people watching ran him down and he stopped. She must've been dragged behind that truck for a good 80-100 yards.

Horrifying to watch that.

I watched a 10 year old girl amputate her own thumb in the hole for a bolt stop on a swinging park gate. She was swinging the gate back and forth and stuck her thumb in the hole where a bolt would be to stop the the gate from being able to move and it just popped off and she started jumping around frantically. Two people ran to her and started comforting her. This was before cell phones on every person so I sprinted to a pay phone and called 911. Then I sprinted to the edge of campus (about 1500 m aways to meet the police car because I couldn't give directions because I didn't know any of the street names. I saw that thumb come off in my head at night for about two months.

Only saw the remnants of the motorbike strewn in the shoulder of NB Deerfoot after that guy committed suicide by riding his bike the wrong way into a pickup truck several summers ago.

Oh, and there was the cadavers and the bucket of severed heads in a university anatomy lab I saw when my uncle (who was a prof there) gave me a tour when I was 12.

The most disturbing thing I have seen is "2 Girls 1 Cup" and "2 guys, 1 horse".

I worked for a local tech company that was trying to get their products adopted into the Calgary courts. Because of that, I spent two days importing crime scene photos into basically a PowerPoint presentation. The photos were from a high profile drunk driving case and some of them were horribly graphic.

The most disturbing photos for me though, we're the ones where the driver of the "sober" car basically threw himself across his girlfriend to protect her. They werevso young, and it was just tragic. Sometimes those pictures still haunt me.

I saw that too and actually met the guy who was driving the truck pulling the bobcat a few months later, he said he didn't even see him coming...just remembers a very load bang and wondering if he was going to get rearended. It was fortantate for him the way the bike hit the truck, it hit the front but came from an angle so most of the bike/body parts just exploded to the side.

Bystanders looking non-nonchalantly down at a person in a pool of blood (like observing a mouse in a maze or something) no less than 1.5 feet away with a traffic cop directing traffic around to the next lane during rush hour Beijing while I was on the bus to work.

In my younger days, I was in a drug house and saw an older (40ish) couple there buying drugs. They wanted to inject them there and asked if anyone had a problem with it. I've never poked a needle into myself, but have watched many do so, and did not object. The girls arms were a disaster and no veins were usable, so the man she was with, gave her a 2 handed choke at her throat while she injected the drug (dilaudid/synthetic heroin) into her jugular. That one messed me up for a bit and ensured I never stuck anything into my arm.

I did CPR on a man who had a heart attack on one of my flights in 2004. Worked on him for 35 minutes, 10 of those after breaking his ribs while doing compressions. The orangish liquid that spit out of his mouth every time I pushed on his chest will never be forgotten. During this, we had a doctor on board who injected him with almost everything our emergency medical kit had on board. They did so via sticking multiple needles into an IV catheter in his arm.

Once pronounced dead, we secured him in the last row of seats, laying on his back, knees bent, and arms crossed across his chest. After helping clean the galley, I noticed a pool of blood flowing to the back. The guys arm (with the catheter) had fallen over and there was quite the mess that leaked onto the ground. Having that guy die after trying so hard to save him was one of those things I'll never forget either, along with the fluids.

Last but not least...I hit an animal while driving. Pulled over to find it was a pregnant bunny. Her stomach has exploded, and all the fetuses, along with most of her insides has sprayed out. What messed me up was she was still alive and trying to move. I knew there was no hope for her, so I used my foot to put her out of the misery. I'm no animal rights activist at all, but I was 16 and didn't like doing it.

Probably the most disturbing thing I've seen personally was a car accident. I was young, probably 12 or so, driving through Jasper with my mother and brother. We passed slowly by (it was only a two lane road, so traffic was alternating directions in a single lane) a car with a shattered windshield. Someone had draped a body bag over the windshield...but you could still see blood everywhere. We kept driving, and about 10 meters down the road there was another small grocery bag sized bag, soaked in blood...turned out to be the guys head. That one stuck with me for a while.

no doubt i used to dig graves at the cemetary in springbank and did maybe a dozen infant and child burials, deafeningly sombre to lower the caskets.

When I was 11, we were in the dressing room before our hockey game and my teammate's grandpa suffered a heart attack while tying his grandson's skates. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Earlier that year my grandpa had passed away, so it brought back a lot of bad memories watching him lie there and fade away.

Yeah I've heard of that video. I've seen a few shock videos on the internet but i refuse to watch that video. An actual murder is just pushing it over the top. Watching someone, let alone three people, take away someone's life is something that nobody should see.

Yeah, well I was tricked into watching it. I have no recollection of the video due to the traumatic effect it had on me for days afterwards.

A guy being hacked to pieces with an axe, that's probably the most disturbing online video I've seen.

Budd Dwyer's public suicide ranks high up there for me. Not the worst video around, but the fact that I was in the infancy of my internet adventures (14) makes it stand out.
