Fatal car crash today, pics & video circulating

bnt

If someone in your social circle sends you pictures or video of the aftermath of the fatal car crash on the N2 near Finglas today, you're advised to delete them, since they are Bad. Really Bad. Darkest corners of Reddit -level Bad. I haven't seen them myself, but someone in my office was sent them, and was horrified, and some of the comments on that article tell of similar experiences.

tl:dr; People Suck. :mad:

For me I wouldn't watch it and anyone who sent it to me on WhatsApp would be blocked no questions. People like that should be left to drag their own knuckles.

Just heard the guy who took the video has been detained by the Gardai.
I really hope that's true.

Appalling thing to do in such tragic circumstances.

I hadn't even heard of these until I saw this thread. I can't imagine any of my friends sending stuff like this.

Same here. The worst I get is videos of Conor McGregor leaving crack dens in Dolphins Barn.

I have a few friends who are in the emergency services so unfortunately they share gruesome sh*t on because they are immune to it. But this today, and I've had it sent to 2 group chats, has really sickened me. No thoughts for the victim, their family, or to someone who might know the victim and see this photo and video.
To the person who decided it would be a good idea to whip out his/her phone and film that scene... you are a sick fu*k and you really should be ashamed of yourself.

For what exactly? It is perfectly legal to take a photo in a public place as long as they weren't driving and didn't interfere with the emergency services doing their work. Its completely immoral but there is a big difference between immoral and illegal. Doubt it happened TBH

These things often happen and I don't know why people share them online. Sometimes I feel they are looking for glory/a few minutes in the spotlight. Maybe a there name in the newspaper.

I'm in the emergency services myself and this is all the more reason not to send stuff like this on, can't believe people in es would send this kind of thing

Just tell them to cop the fcuk on, no need to go ratting to HR.

I joined Snapchat a few years ago for some reason. I was ended up following this guy in the emergency services and he could send you anything.

The people sharing it around are not much better.

Theres ALOT of places online that share all kinds of pictures and videos you dont even need to go into the dark sides of the web to find them a quick google search will find a lot of it.

Ive seen all kinds over the years online and in person theres always someone who will keep a record of what they see!

Agree, there is no place for people like that in any ES or other organisations dealing with traumatic events.

The majority of people ODB tend to freeze in traumatic situations or when they see traumatic situations and all too often as a way of coping they just stand around gawping. It's a mental distraction deflection thing. I'd suspect phones are ideal as that and if they start taking pics or a video it's akin to a wall of sorts between them and the trauma. It makes it less real. I've found in such situations in public it's the elderly of all people who tend to approach to help.

In my situation, I collapsed. It wasn’t really a situation where onlookers would go into shock or freeze. There were a few very helpful people who stayed with me, called an ambulance etc. The people gawping were not in shock, they were just being nosy fückers. Actually, I’ve been at the coalface of a few accidents (I’ve seen a few people getting hit by cars, one at fairly high speed) and my experience is that a lot of the people directly involved have their heads screwed on and take action. I have no first aid training so the most I ever did was place the emergency call and then get out of there and out of the way of people who know what they are doing. But I never experienced shock from those incidents. I don’t believe from my own experiences that it’s trauma rooting most onlookers to the spot. The numbers who see the actual incident are usually quite low, far lower than the crowds that form.

Even on a busy street like Parnell Street, likely no more than a handful of passers-by saw the direct hit of the cyclist. The ones who did might have frozen. The bank of gawpers that formed? They were in their hoop traumatised. Word travelled up Parnell Square. Most of these people likely headed down the street for a look.

Or occasionally one that starts off as something funny but then cuts to a black guy with a 10 inch cock. I have one friend who loves sending me those.

Three people in my office (we all sit at the same desk) were sent the picture within a half an hour of each other, by different people. Met another two people out in the smoking area who had also just got it. I've seen it. I was certain it was photoshopped at first.

I didn't get the picture and am glad I don't know anyone gormless enough to forward that along. What kind of moron thinks it's okay or funny or cool to forward that??

So much surprise that people would want to see this type of thing. But when you see people rubber neck at a car crash, it shouldn't surprise us that people want to see this type of thing. I imagine if lost people saw what a car crash scene actually looks like, they would never want to see it again.

He shouldn't be working in es, none of the crew I'm involved with would ever dream of doing such a thing, we've no bloody time to be taking pics anyway

It happens though. The WhatsApp video of the woman having a breakdown springs to mind.

Lad in work sent it to me and my first reaction was **** sake you thick why did you send me that.

Going to HR though.....the phrase pick your battles comes to mind. It's the way of the world now that you're going to unwittingly come across material like this because as I said earlier - there will always be one thick around sending stuff like this. If you can't accept that then you're better off withdrawing from the groups that they are circulated on as opposed to throwing a wobbler every time you come across something like that.

There just doesn't seem to be a line of decency or respect anymore. I often go on Liveleak to watch crazy stuff from around the world but that gore sh1t is just very sad.
Sad that peoples deaths and the aftermath is entertainment for some.
Aren't we supposed to improve as a society, so we leave a better world for our children to live in. Society seems to be heading the other way where no one gives a fuk about anything or anybody.
The future wha'... give me the past any day.

What kind of sick animals share this stuff. And likely before family has even been informed. To anyone who shared, you are sick ****s!

It's already up on liveleak, like who the feck thinks taking that video is alright...

I was in work and one of the girls showed me as I'm not on WhatsApp, didn't think it was real at first if I'm honest, at the end of the day that's someone's family member, and that's the part that gets me...

Purple Mountain

Sick, disgusting and warped people who do this.
I would like to think if I was dead or dying on the side of the road that the only thing a passer by would do, if help was already there, is bless themselves and say a silent prayer.
