Just the other day i was walking home. It was late. Like 12 am.
I heard screeching tires and when i looked i saw a car drive off this 40 foot embankment that was almost vertical.
Amazingly enough not hitting one of the many tress that were aligning it.
I have seen some crasy footage of stuff on TV, but most of us have.
Anyone else have some real life live stories to tell.

I saw a guy peel out of a parking lot once on a Yahama RD 350 motorcycle and plow right into the side of a car that turned onto the road from the opposite side of the street.
The rider flipped over the hood of the car and did a somersault in the air and landed right on his feet unhurt. Pretty amazing.
The bike was bent and he hit the car in the wheel so it was not badly damaged.

As an ex EMT I have seen more funny and some not so funny stuff.
The funniest I think would be the rather large lady we could note get through het bed room door way.
The fire dept had to help us on that one and when we got to parkland hospital they had to use what looked like a engine hoist
at the loading dock to lift her up into a special bed.
Bless her heart I hope she made it.

Driving down Hwy 400 towards Toronto I came across a massive traffic jam in the two right-hand lanes...but no cars in the far left lane. So I pull into that lane grinning from ear to ear that no-one else was doing so and that I would get ahead of everyone.
Suddenly I see in front of me half...yes HALF...of a car, which was badly burned up and still smoking.
I don't know how I missed it but when I got my bearing back after a wild turn onto the embankment I then noticed all the flashing lights of fire engines and police cars.
A cop who was pretty ticked off at me held up the two lanes of traffic so that I could cross over onto the embankment on the other side of the highway (which was the only way past the accident that had occured) effectively cutting into the very front of the traffic jam.
As I passed the scene I noticed a crumpled mass lying on the road near another cop who was directing one lane of traffic past the wreakage. As I went past I poked my head out of the window and looked down to see what it was.
It was a very badly burned up body.
I don't think I went over 50km/h for the rest of the ride home. Same for everyone else around me. I was freaked out for weeks afterwards.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

I watched a friend roll a 4-wheeler at 40 mph, get up, turn it back over, and take off again.
A friend and I were passed going down a flooded street... by a boat.
I watched my friend Ashley stroll through the middle of 150 of my troops, right past my bodyguards, and kill me while I was generaling a 1000 player paintball event. I was too dumbstruck to do anything about it, or run away like common sense dictated. "Hey... that's Ash... she's not on my... *#$!" :eek:
Again, playing paintball, I was leaving the sewer tunnels at the Camp Blanding MOUT site, to find all 3 enemy tanks about 10 feet away... looking at me. I fell off the ladder, picked myself up, flipped out a grenade that I forgot to pull the pin on, and hobbled away from the grenades they started throwing down the manhole.

I recently met some idiot who didn't like Hank Williams. He could only barely function in modern society.

i saw a full on brawl in the middle of the afternoon in the middle of state street in madison wisconsin
(state street is no cars allowed, goes from the capital building to the lake about 2 miles of all shops, street performers, weirdos, and tourists)
the fight was less than 10 feet from me (when it started, i quickly got away) it was about 12-15 "hippies" in berkenstock sandals, tye died shirts, some had dredlocks, the WHOLE sterotypical early 90's hippy kid about 20 years old.
they were fighting the locak punks of the area again maybe 10-12 of them. the punks again were straight out of the movies, you could smell 15 feet away they hadnt bathed, piercings all over, ratty leather clothes, the works.
so this punk (seemed like the "leader" rund over to this hipster dude, and just CLOCKS him in the side of the head. knocks him to the ground bleeding immediatly. he must have been unconsenous, because he didnt get up as long as i was watching the fight.
i have never seen someone get hit that hard, and that unaware in my life. the guy never saw it comming, and probably when he woke up had to ask what happened.
that was like i said about 10 feet away from me as me and the people i was with were walking along the sidewalk. it was a very busy summer day, and the crowd just scattered like roaches after that first hit.
the fight quickly broke into 10 on 10 with others in the area rushing to get in on the action, it probably ended up to be like 25 on 25 before the beating took it's toll, and people dropped out of the fight, bleeding and what not. 1 guy's entire face was blood, i dont think he could even see. he was crawling away from the brawl, and a punk spoted him, ran over and started kicking and stomping on him. another punk came running over and pulled the first one off the bleeding hippy, and the 2 ran like the wind down the street away from the fight.
the hippies lost, but took about 4-5 of the punks with them, and by the time the first single police officer showed up everyone was running away like mad.
it took about 20 minutes for more cops to show up, and the blocked off that area of the street. we were watching the whole thing from about a block of more away by this time, and were not questioned about the incident. we quietly made our way away as far as we could get.
to this day i can see those bloodied people, fists flying, all that, and i have no clue why the fight started.

For fun. That was the one & only game at Camp Blanding, and had about 800 players if I remember correctly. I took a field trip with a different scenario promoter checking out a MOUT site in Lousiana that was way, way cooler. It had break out sections of buildings, better terrain, smoke generators built into buildings, MILES gear setup. It was amazing. Then 9/11 happened, and that fell through :(
You don't want my jobs. I have 3, and I only like one of them... but I have to do something to pay for my toys.
Here's me climbing into the sewer early in the game. Ironically, with all the concrete & Florida summer weather, the sewers were the only place on the field cool enough to stay put in.

Frenchman Flat, Mercury Nevada
Ground zero for many above ground nuclear test blasts back in the 50's.
Bunkers, military vehicles, cages for animals, trenches for soldiers, bridges, houses all kinds of stuff left there in a barren nuclear wasteland.
Very cool.

Seen some strange things out there. Most I can't share but one does come to mind. A Tractor Trailer (Gas Tanker) rolled on a major highway and caught on fire. You could see the smoke plume for miles away. When I got there the operator was standing talking to the first officer on the scene and it looked like he was covered in black soot and his clothes were ripped to shreds. It wasn't until I got up right next to him that his clothes were actually burned into his skin. Poor guy was in shock and probably not feeling much pain at the time. Unfortunately he succumbed to his wounds a few hours later.
hehe also CAVY jumping about 10 feet in the air and crying like a stuck pig after getting zapped with the M26 Taser. :D Salute CAV!

A big water buff bull hook the skid of a Bell 47 with a horn and drag it out of the sky.
The kid flying litterally shat himself, apart from that, he was unhurt, though I doubt he flew again in a hurry.
The chopper was badly smashed up but repairable, the buff was shot.
Saw the whole thing from about twenty metres away, the guy riding shotgun in the bull buggy I was driving shot the buff.
Come to think of it, Heli-mustering and bull/buff catching in general would have to be the source of some of the craziest **** I've ever seen....great fun though :)

I actually drove past a burning car the other day. On the 405 in LA, a Cooper Mini was blazing, as in 20-30 foot tall flames. It was in the far left lane, and police were directing traffic past in the far right lane. Even though I didn't come within 20 feet of it, I could FEEL the radiant heat through the wind. It was HOT.
Wish I had a camera.
It wasn't a wreck, and the people got out ok as far as I could tell. Looked like it just... burned down.

When you say literally, do you mean he actually evacuated his bowels into his trousers?

Sure smelt like it.

The day I turned 10, I was about to go to sleep and heard a dull bang, as if something heavy fell or something.
Mother yelled at me for it, although I had nothing to do with it.
Couple minutes later heard sirens and then the flashing of emergency vehicle lights through the curtain.
At that moment we figured it's better to see whats up and go outside.
There was already firemen going inside the neightbours apartment, where something had happened.
A bit afterwards it appeared that the neightbour had blown herself up with a gas oven, although first dying to inhalation of the gas fumes.
A further rumour tells that the refrigerator had then blown up the gas.
The explosion blew out the shrapnels of kitchen window over 50 meters away and blew out the closed kitchen door.
The next day I was able to take a peek inside the apartment from door and outside through window.
It was surprisingly clean, considering all the smoke which poured out of the apartment. Less than a meter down from the ceiling was pitch black, but downwards from that the walls were nearly completely white.
The candles weren't either completely melt. The oven was almost as new, except for missing the top piece where you cook things.
Talk about a birthday fireworks.
Of course my birthday is in november and I catch a cold, plus had to live two days elsewhere due to the smell of smoke.
No smoke damages to my home though, just the smell of smoke. The kind of smell which you could smell from the clothes for two days after spending couple of hours aside an open fireplace.
Not the only fireworks though.
Once with my cousin almost saw a house get hit by lightning, but a thin forrest blocked the sight.
It was the loudest and brightest lightning I've ever wittnessed though.
Everything was lit white the lightning and a horrid thundering sound came out of it.
My cousin actually jumped to the cover and grabbed me with him. A true life saver :D
I was just standing and the first thought was "wow".
Then we looked out of the window and saw smoke rising over the trees.
The family living in the house was away at the moment.
The next day we saw it and the attic was completely burned down, with the exception of a stone fireplace.
Once almost at the same place saw a BMW run out of the road at a curve, rolling over couple of times and ending up on its roof.
Later heard it was stolen.
Not the only car which has ran out of the road on that road.
At school, when I was 8 or so, I saw a ceiling glass come down from 2 floors high.
I was the only one walking in the corridors that time, luckily on the 2nd floor and not the 1st floor where it landed.
Some glass shrapnels flew up to the 2nd floor though.
Luckily everyone was in the classes at the moment, otherwise it could been very fatal, especially if it had been in the beginning or at the end of intermission. Some 20 kids could been right underneath it.

I divorced the craziest thing I have ever seen.:lol

As a chemist, I have acess to a lot of different chemicals. So here's a few cool things, and a mishap
This one is really fun if you ever get a chance: lake/pond + calcium/pottasium(large portion). The pottasium launched over 50 ft in the air, pretty cool
lots of dry ice and used 2 liter bottles (once one blew up too close to me and I had pieces of plastic in my arm)
Lastly, this one happened 3 days ago. I was trying to do a reaction, but it failed. Apparantly I had done something wrong b/c after a/b three hours of being in the trash can, the reaction started and caused a fire inside the trash can. When water didn't put the fire out, b/c it couldn't get rid of the reaction, I was forced to run the trash can outside and turn it upside-down in order to get rid of the oxygen to the fire. Needless to say, I got some wierd looks on my way out the door. My boss thought it was too funny and me too stupid and ashamed to really do anything besides tell me to be less of an idiot and more carefull.

I have a few but typically can't remember them right now. Well it is 3:30 am. One I do remember. On the motorway. There was an exit lane and the barriers formed a vee with the slip road on the left and the motorway to the right. Set back a little was a big sign forming a small triangle, just big enough to take a car. And sitting neatly in that triangle was a car. How he did I don't know but he must have got airborne somehow and it plopped into the space. It was freaky looking. Another time I saw a motorway bridge completely surrounded by barriers inside of which sat an undamaged car. I just couldn't see how he did it. There were no gaps and no ramps. But there it was.

I have seen the entire deck of a 42' Viking sportfisherman blow about 30' into the air, do a slow roll and land upside down on the gas dock.
I have seen what happens when you try to start a balky motorcycle by towing it behind a pickup truck, and it involves brains as abstract art.
I have seen a 12' tiger shark jump 15' in the air and land mouth down, on a plastic bait being trolled at 18 knots.
I have seen a drunken idiot fall out of a moving car with a beer mug in each hand, and come up standing, with just the handles in his hands (and a little road rash here and there).
I have seen a ski-boat hit a bridge piling at 35 MPH, and observed the legs of the passenger as they punched through the hull.
I have caught a 30# sailfish that had his head stuck in a bucket (released, of course), and a perfectly formed sailfish baby that was about 2" long.

and did I mention...lesbians?

i saw a horse galloping at full speed meet an 18 wheeler cargo truck head-on ...the truck was also heading full speed towards the horse.
It was late night so the truck driver didnt see the horse until too late and the horse was dazzled by the lights.
Saw a bright flash of sparks and a horrible *thud* when the impact happened, half of the horse flying to the left, the other half upwards into the air.

I watched a meth-lab in a rundown house burn today.

I once watched 2 Yak-25 buzz the US Airforce U2 ground control post at Peshawar Pakistan. Then 12 Pakistani Korean War era F86 showed up to buzz them and chase them back over the Afganistan border. This all took place at 1000 feet untill they hit the Afgan border.
Funny thing is the Yak's kept flying low and straight to the border, the F86's kept flying near misses on each other trying to get in close to the Yak's.

I saw one of those "donuts on a rope" contrails that the area 51 conspiracy theorists are always talking about.

i saw a guy jack knife an SUV with a boat trailer at eighty miles an hour.
was right behind min..
the car rolled over several time ans since the driver was not wearing his belt he got thrown out of the suv which then rolled right over him....
by the time i came to a stop this man was laying there in a pull of blood .
he was missing part of his scull there where fragmants of this brain tissue all over the road
the funny part was he was awake and still talking.
he did survive that accident

my dog 'wigglebutt'. (thats his name)

I saw Shawk at 5 K once:)
Also saw a duck attack and scare off 3 seperate cats that were attempting to stalk it.
Must have really unnerved the cats cause they always gave the duck a wide berth after that
Saw a man (my boss at the time) fly off a ladder that was 2 stories up and hit a parked van 10 feet away on the way down. Suffered a severe concussion, Broken arm in 2 places. Every rib on his left side,his left hip and his left leg.
After he recovered we teased him by asking him "Hey Ralph, You a Flapper or a screamer?"
Actually to me he looked more like he was trying to be a glider.
During lunch when I was in Jr. High I saw a kid pull a gun on another kid, put the gun to his head and pull the trigger. Gun didnt go off which turned out to be bad for the kid that pointed it, as the other kid proceeded to beat the living snot out of him.
