» What's the most horrific thing you've seen?

Lucky or unlucky ?
After a 3 month enforced break from working as a motorcycle courier ( crash , painful , my fault ) I was on walking to the garage to collect a new bike from the company mechanics and restart work , when the unmistakable sound of motor bike hitting something occurs behind me . On turning I'm confronted by a motorcyclist pinwheeling in the air about 15 feet up and a BMW R850 on its side ( fortunately for me ) ploughing towards where I'm standing . My concern for the rider is quickly negated when he gets up shaken but unhurt but horror starts to set in when the onlookers realize he hit a 50+ woman who had stepped out from behind a bus . The R850 like many BMW's has a boxer engine which means the cylinder heads protrude either side , one of these had caught the womans legs acting like a very blunt but very heavy scythe , catching them just below the knee tearing flesh smashing bone , barely leaving them attached . With unbelievably white sharp bone showing and what seemed like gallons of blood running everywhere we made her as comfortable as possible till the air ambulance came . She survived but sans legs . A joke concerning length and girth is traditional here but it aint gonna happen .
