Saddest moment on TV

Really sad moment from fiction tv is in South Park.

Stan’s parents are divorcing and he gets depression or something and gradually everything turns to ****. It is crude of course but when Stevie Nicks starts in the background… so sad.

In spite of the toilet humour (hello the best!) it really manages to convey accurately that feeling.

Ayrton Sennas crash at Imola and seeing the car wreckage and knowing his injuries are going to be massive. I cried when I heard he died.

Senna always gets mentioned when discussing F1 deaths. But everytime I hear of his name, I always, always think of Roger Williamson's fatal accident. The incredibly heartbreaking scenes as friend and fellow driver David Purley, upon witnessing Roger's accident, pulled over and abandoned his own race in a bid to try and save his friend. Roger wasn't actually seriously injured from the crash but was trapped in his burning car and it was a race against time.
It's all desperately sad and infuriating, but Purley's walking away at the end hits me. Such a helpless, heartbreaking walk. What he now calls the saddest day of his life.

**** this thread gave me a real crap start to the day. ****ing Stevie Nicks 'Landslide' and the Williamson incident.

How depressing.

It was already mentioned but the scene in Buffy when she finds her mother's body, and Giles runs in and the she shouts out "they said don't touch the body!" and it all finally hits home. Heartbreaking.

Greys Anatomy when they realise that it's George on the table.

When Doyle died a hero in Angel. Also Cordelia.

A lot of moments in Scrubs, particularly Ben's funeral and when Dr Cox accidently killed a few patients.

Edit to add Ellen and her daughters sacrifice in Supernatural. Took me by surprise

The LLS Omagh tribute in 1998. Can't find any clips of it online but here's one of U2 performing on the night. Back when even their b-sides were brilliant songs:

When Chris McCandless eats the poisonous plants in the movie Into The Wild, and knows he has no chance of rescue and will die. I had a tear in my eye, let me tell ya!
Think I found it all the more emotional because it's a true story..............

TV wise, I remember years ago being very upset when Geoff (the leader) from Byker Grove died in an explosion.

The 9/11 bombings got to me aswell. Watching the planes crash and towers collapse and knowing that I'd just witnessed the deaths of thousands of people made me cry.

Watching Brian Lenehan junior fade away before our eyes. You had to feel for him and his family.

Half way through the final series of Parenthood and you just know that there is some sadness on the way.

Probably some funeral or other.

Yeah big time! I remember looking at it 11 years of age and I can still somewhat recall the words a woman who had family members killed on RTE news on the broadcast. It was something like 'whoever you are how can you justify this?' while crying. It was heartbreaking.

U2 superbowl halftime show after 9/11. The drop of Edge's electric guitar is amazing and gives you shudders.

For me, one of the most distressing things I have ever seen is the Bradford City fire. The speed at which the fire took hold was shocking, but the worst part was around 5:57 when a man emerges onto the pitch fully engulfed in flames, and he is still walking as people desperately try to put out the flames. He died the next day in hospital. This is definitely NSFW, and I'd advise against watching it if you're easily upset. After watching this video, I started to pay very close attention to where the fire exits are around me when I'm in a new building, and especially nightclubs:

The first episode of the first reality tv show has to trump it. The birth of years of cheap sh1te TV.
