I had something similar
Years ago,I'd taken dd to a group in town-I seem to remember her being about 9/10
On our route back,the street was blocked-im talking the biggest group of people I've ever seen in my life-I couldn't believe the amount of police either
We went back on ourselves,not knowing what was going on and the second route took us to the back of this crowd
I managed to work out that a young lad was hanging out of a 4th floor hotel room and was shouting he was going to jump-the crowd was yelling at him to do it-'go on mate!jump'
I'm doing my utter best to get dd away but failing due to the sheer volume of people
She turned to me,squeezing my hand as tight as she could and said 'he won't jump will he mum?'
'Course not sweetie-the police will get him down and get him the help he needs'
A second after I said it,I heard the crowd gasp-hed jumped
The sound of his body hitting the ground will never leave either of us
He lived for a few days but died later in hospital
I've never told her (she's an adult now) simply because she never asked but God knows what I would have said if she had
The photo the local paper printed of him in mid air,plunging to his death will never leave me and was out off order,as where the bloody crowd
that poor man,and his family
Another one was a few years later,my sister in law rang and asked me if I fancied going for a coffee with her
I said yes,we arranged to meet at her work as soon as I'd dropped ds off at afternoon nursery
We got to just round the corner to our meeting place,and m&s came into view
I saw an older lady pushing her small trolley out of the doors,she stepped onto the road
And was hit by a 'bendy' bus (if you know the area,they are very common)
She was 'sucked' under it-all anyone could see was her pinky/purple legs sticking out from under the bus
My sister in law had come out of her work and saw the same but from a different angle
People where walking past like nothing had happened or where stood gawping
Thankfully the police seemed to show up within a minute
I managed to get to sis in law and we walked the other way,deep in shock
My only saving grace was the kids where too young to know what had happened
Again,that poor lady-my heart goes out to her family
At work a few months ago,and I was facing the drive throu window,chatting to a colleague
I glanced up,just in time to see a bloke run across the road
A car was going 2miles an hour faster than the speed limit and hit him
I saw him flung into the air and land-his shoe came off
While the paramedics where giving life saving treatment,we had to seal off the upstairs as people where pouring in and heading up to get a better look
Some where stood on tables just to get a better angle-not one where there to eat-it was all about watching this poor man
What really boiled my piss,was my stupid bitch manager had the cctv of the accident eithin seconds and was watching and rewatching it all afternoon-inviting her favourites to join in and gawp on repeat
