What is the sickest thing you've seen?

Hard to tell from the pieces. I was 10 and I can remember it vividly. Glad to see you did your research, though. If you saw pictures of the field, they were taken from my back yard.

For some reason, the airliner crash post reminded me of something I thought I had forgotten about.

When I was a small kid, maybe 2nd grade age, my dad took us to an air show at Williams AFB.

A parachute team was performing and there was a malfunction with one of the jumper's chutes. I remember watching him fall and hearing the gasps from the audience.

Just before he hit the ground, fairly close to us and on the flight line, my dad grabbed me by the head and turned my face into his leg area so I wouldn't see it. (Many, many years later…Thanks, Dad.)

I feel very sorry for you that as a small child, you had to view such a tragedy.

I won't deny that I was changed by it. I didn't fly on a plane until I was 21. And those were probably the longest 3 hours of my life. But what price can I put on realizing how fragile life really is? Espescially at 10 yo? As tragic as it was, the family members have suffered longer than those that died did. Can only hope I die as painlessly as they did. I watched my grandmother die over 5 years of cancer from smoking. Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, they cause more destruction and pain to the world than a plane crash ever could. I think it was Dennis Leary who said "Life sucks. Wear a f-in helmet." Life goes on. Gotta live for those that don't, or won't. And for people like us, have to protect what their is left in this world. Somebody's gotta do it. And all the better to really understand what it is that LEO's, firemen, soldiers, EMS, and good politicians sacrifice so much for.

I've seen a lot of gross things but the nastiest was when we got a call of a male with a possible MI. We walked into the living room, his pants were unzipped with his penis hanging out, his ejaculate on his hands and pants and a porno in the VCR still playing. Apparently, his climax caused this whole incident. It's one of those times when you have to be really professional.

Actually, that's pretty funny. :D


(But I do have a twisted sense of humor)

What would you think of a grown man who digs his boogers out and saves them in his ear for later inspection, and .....the nasty bastard actually ate 'em! Now, that's nasty.

I would think you shouldn't do that jmac.:eek:

And no, you can't be a police officer if you have ever picked your nose and stored the boogers in your ear for future visual inspection. That was your next question, wasn't it?:D

Oh, no! It wasn't me! It was a guy I worked with. We used to put bets on how long a booger would be safe(stored) before he chowed down. We would watch him from the parts counter, since he was in direct line of sight. It was absolutely sick, but I did win $10 one day for guessing the right amount of time from storage to retrieval.

:D

I just threw up in my mouth

Had a call similar to the one with the VCR. As a cop, I go to a DOA, he's face down, naked on the floor. TV is on, but all static. ME gets there and he rolls the body, at which point we see the cock ring is on. We press play on the VCR and it's porn.

The best part of this is that department policy was you had to remove all jewelry from the body before the ME took it. We convinced a rookie that the "ring" was jewelry and he had to remove it. He was triple gloved up and moving in until the ME asked what the hell he was doing.

I work at a hospital, and our department is responsible for transporting DB's to the morgue whether or not they are from in the hospital or brought in from accidents etc.

One guy had robbed a coffee shop with a knife, ran off into the night and was hit by a train. When they brought him in, in the bag, the bag folded in half. I asked why it was like that. The guy unzips the bag and shows me a guy in 2 pieces.

Another was a suicide by .308 rifle. Pretty much obliterated any part of his face, rendering him unrecognizable.

Ive seen lots, but those are ones that stick out for me.

Last year I responded to a call on I-25 for a rollover accident with injuries. INJURIES:eek: was an understatement. It was a one car accident with a fatality.

The driver of a Dodge Ram pickup had been driving South doing approximately 120mph. He missed a curve, overcorrected and rolled his truck. Of course he wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was ejected. I can't remember the exact distance he travelled in the air, I think it was around 200 feet before landing on his face in the middle of the interstate.

Well the worst of it was not over yet. The drivers body was then run over by 3 tractor trailers and 5 cars. The accident scene covered 3/4 of a mile. We put the deceased in a body bag, when I helped lift him up there was no rigidity to the body. Every bone had been pulverised. Of course there was missing portions, which we never found.

We were curious as to if the driver was under the influence of drugs, or alcohol, but the ME's report said that there was not enough blood to do a tox screen and that the brain, lungs, and internal organs were also missing from the body, of course we all knew this.

The most disturbing thing was with the extreme carnage of this accident, the State Patrol refused to shut down the interstate. To give you an idea of how nasty this was, our boots began sticking to the pavement when walking, the volunteer fire departments spent 3 hours trying to spray the blood off the road and there was still a lot left in the morning.

That's the nastiest I have seen so far
