Scene of a car crash right after it happened. Some guy drove head on into a car with a woman, her mother and her kids. They died. He was thrown though the windscreen and landed smack dab right in the middle of the road. I think it was ruled as a suicide by himself and the selfish pr1ck decided to take others out with him.

I saw a traveller walking around in the middle of the day with skin tight shorts and a vest, two hands down his jocks with not a care in the world.

Very disturbing altogether.

With my own eyes, a small dog getting run over by a DART at Raheny station even though the emergency brakes were used. Everyone on the platform turned away except for me for some reason, hoping it would get away from the rail and into the middle in time.

Walking up Capwell road in Cork.I got to the junction at the top to find two guys stomping another guys head on the steps.I called out and they ran off.I ran over to him and I cant describe how mashed this guys face was.No nose,teeth.Everything smashed to pulp, nothing that resembled a face,grunting and blowing bubbles.A guy and a girl come out of a house a minute or two later and drag him in the door and told me to **** off.

I call the cops and tell them what I saw and never hear anything back.But his face...........

Young drunk lad walking in the middle of the road after I kicked him out of the pub for causing trouble get ploughed down by a car that didn't even see him.

He bounced 15ft in the air and landed 34ft from where the skid marked started.

Thankfully he was a ok 3 weeks later but the Garda kept the road closed till the next day at 13.00 because they didn't know if he would survive.

Saw a car upside down in ditch on the way home from a night club. Taxi driver pulled over as it had just happened. We got out to help...poor lad was gone to a better place...very sobering.

Slide tackled a lad in a friendly game, bust my knee, got up to see the other lads leg broken in 2 places and facing the wrong direction. Not a nice experience

Saw a lad get kicked to death outside a nighclub years ago.

The guards tracked me down to give an account ascto what i saw. Told them as much as i recounted.

Think one guy got 3 or 4 years for manslaughter for it.

Horrible thinking back now....so thanks op for making me remember that sh1t.

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.

A mate went through glass door and opened his wrist.....blood everywhere, thought he would die, thank God he did not.

I spent three years sailing around Asia. It was disturbing to see how delicate the situation of peace is in Asia atm. Its not something you saw at once, but im not sharing that on the internet lol.

Mid 1980's on an airshow skydive over Farrenfore co Kerry. I went up in a Cessna 150 2 seater and the cloud base was too low to do the jump, so local ATC gave us a hold pattern west of the airfield.
I spotted an incoming aircraft on our level about 2 miles away, heading our way.
I presumed the pilot saw him also. Seconds later, with less than 1/2 mile to making contact I shouted and pointed. The pilot took a radical left turn and the incoming aircraft missed us by a few feet.
I learned a big lesson that day, in the air presume nothing, discuss everything.

I saw the aircrash at Fairyhouse in the mid 1980s. A Yugoslav pilot was killed. I just remember a mood of shock and looks of shock on the faces of experienced airforce and army people.

When I was a kid I spent a good bit of time out in the truck with my dad.

We were in a sawmill in Leitrim one day and a young lad sawed his arm off, the amount of blood was unreal, panic and screaming, this was in the 70's beefier many folks had much first aid training and there were no mobile phones either.


At work a few years ago and a lad on the machine beside me caught his hand between two hydraulic rams, flattened his hand to 2 mm. He was caught for maybe 15 minutes, went from laughing to crying to screaming the place down, wen we got his hand out his rubber glove wasn't even punctured, just a blob of goo on the end of his arm.

I was a member of the Irish parachute club demo crew that day and we were standing in a group (all 22 of us) in the aircraft park, when the 3 wilga aircraft from Poland I believe, made their final 90 degree turn to land. The first and third succeeded but the middle aircraft just continued turning till it crashlanded about 20 yards from where we were standing. I can still see the exhaust box and a section of the undercarriage going over our heads.
20 yards closer and he would have wiped out the 22 most experienced Irish skydivers at that time.
Despite the crash and the death of the pilot, the show continued, and we were scheduled to fly out 30 minutes later, having completed our 2 jump demonstration.
Believe it or not we were on a shorts skyvan, used for ferrying horse boxes, and it was returning to its base in shannon airport. We were exiting over our parachute club near Edenderry co. Offally enroute.
It was an unusually quiet 25 minute flight back, with a lot of rattled skydivers who had just experienced first hand, how unforgiving aviation sports can be when things go wrong, and how close we were to being wiped out.
22 of us exited the skyvan at over 15000 feet and parachuted quietly to our club runway.

Thanks for your recollections. Yes, I do remember the parachuters near the crash site. Lucky escape for you guys! I also remember the show continuing. My father was disgusted at this I recall.

I just researched the pilots name, he was Jan Baran .
At the time we were told he was a Boeing 747 pilot with Polish airlines.

I've also located a photo of the 3 Wilga aircraft in formation shortly before the crash.
As I have less than 50 posts I'm precluded from posting a photo.
Anyone want to offer an email address I can forward the photo to, so it can be uploaded.

I found a suicide note on a tree in a park in Dublin a few days before Christmas in 2012. It wasn't addressed to anyone in particular, and it was just signed with a first name. I didn't know what to do, I just read it silently to myself as did my girlfriend and we walked away. Always, always something I will remember.

Another one worth mentioning. I saw an obese father, with his equally obese son in burger King adding packets of sugar to their large soft drinks. The kid was no more than 12 years old. This is something that sticks in my mind, the poor kid probably hasn't got a clue what he is doing to himself.

Being in A&E in Beaumont Hospital on a Friday night 5 years back after trying to do myself in when a group of goons came in from Barcode with two of them in a bad way faces had been kicked in, loads of blood, 40 minutes later the guys they had been fighting with turned up to restart the fight, I got admitted just as it was going on so never found out what happened but was some scary ****.

youtube!

I was doing a bit of maintenance work in Pats hospital many years ago and didn't realise the room I was working in was actually right beside the room they used for electric shock treatment, I heard a kind of a tortured mumble and looked through these glass doors to see a woman's head violently shake as she tried to scream, her mouth had something in it to stop the noise but I still heard it. Also was working in the same hospital a few weeks later and had to replace some filters in an air con unit, I walked in to find it was in the mortuary...body on slab, covered up thankfully.

On a Dart, ready to step out the doors - and they open right in front of a person lying in an alcove, blue, eyes open with a pool of blood around his head.

Not sure what happened, but in retrospect, think he might have jumped from the pedestrian bridge crossing the platform.

Wonder who he was or if he was missed - you see "R.I.P. Crept" graffiti on the platform beside where this happened, but (after Googling a bit) that's definitely unrelated, for someone much younger than he was.

My mum was run over by a guy when she was going to mass.

The sound of a life support machine. That awful machine breathing for someone their lungs filling with air, up and down, up and down, Good jeasus, it's horrible.. Fuk, I hope I never hear that again.
My son, out of nowhere asked in all honestly, could I leave my mobile phone in the coffin so granny could call him, nearly lost it at that.

So sorry to hear that Fallschirmjager.

I think my worst was a motorcyclist who got in an accident on Dame Street. I don't know what happened, but as I walked by, I could hear his moans, and I've never forgotten that sound.

What made it even more horrible was the crowd around staring and chatting excitedly like it was some kind of show. The guards and the ambulance were already there, but I actually saw a woman pushing her child forward so that she could get a better look. I don't understand some people.

Oh my god, people are vultures. I don't understand how people can witness an accident or an emergency in the streets and not do anything except watch or take snapshots.

Around the year 2000/01 this weird English fella appeared around the small town in county Limerick where i live. He would nurse a glass of coke for the night and myself and my brother spoke to him a few times. Just small talk..
I remember him being very vague about what brought him to Ireland or where he was staying etc

Odd as two left shoes he was.

Months later he was all over the news.

Myself and my brother are 99% sure to this day it was Richard Reid the shoebomber..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Reid

He stayed around for 2 or 3 weeks then he disappeared.

A strange fish but never gave any hints about what he was involved in.

Not necessarily. Just something along the lines of "what's your favourite colour. My favourite colour is blue", or something. I'd hope a thread opener would take a bit of interest in their own thread.
