The Energon Pub

Well, mine is the music video of The Trial from Pink Floyd's The Wall. If you have ever seen it well, you what I'm taking about. I didn't see the movie The Wall, though I own the CD.

I do vehicle crash research for the US department of transportation, so I've got a list.

Seeing a guy coming around a turn on a motorcycle and some jackass teenager t-boning him at 50 mph. The guy flew about 30 feet to the side and broke his head open on the curb. That's one of those things that tends to stick with you.

For me it's a two-way tie between tubgirl and severe arterial bleeding!

seeing an old man dropping dead in the bar i used to work at!

I was watching Maximum Exposure and they did a bit on an Asian Restaurant (It was in either South Korea or Japan) where they serve fish so fresh it's still moving on the plate. Creepy enough...

But it gets worse. The fish is taken out of a tank and scaled while squirming. Next it is sliced and gutted, still squirming. The chef holds it by the head and quick fries the rest of it, still squirming. Finally, large incisions are made in the sides of the fish, it's put on a platter and delivered to the customer's table. It's not squirming, but it's still opening and closing its mouth, trying to breathe. While it dies a slow painful death, the customers stick chopsticks into the incisions and pick out fish meat.

I saw that and that image stuck in my mind for days. brr....

That would have to be the Troma movies. While I've seen dead bodies, gore, and all this other stuff. The Troma effects are so fake, and so overdone they actually make me sick.

I've seen dead bodies, car crashes, fires and Micheal Jackson but the most disturbing thing i've seen is the beating of a man. For reasons unknown this guy bit another guy's dog so the dog's owner and his friends then proceed to beat this guy into the ground. About 10 minutes later they leave the guy lying on a park path and bleeding. When the police got there they could not figure out what had happened because the man was unable to talk due his jaw hanging down.

OMG......

That would scar me as well.

I think watching a child being birthed, in person I mean. It's a crazy thing to watch, not like those videos. Live is way scarier and weirder. But also awesome.

I've stood waist-deep in a pool of bloody water trying to put a 15-year old girl onto a spineboard while my lifeguard partner curled up into a fetal position. That was not a fun day and it gave me nightmares for a week or so. Thank goodness she was all right in the end.

One sentence: running out of air while SCUBA diving in a hundred feet of water.

Footage/photographs/etc. from the Rape of Nanking.

Makes the Holocaust in Europe seem civilized.

Isn't that why you wear a helmet when on a motorcycle?

That's rough. I'd have to say when I saw a guy get two thirds of his hand puliverized in a Press brake. It was a 6 in. radius, so it just liquified it. I was standing about 2 feet from him and I heard the popping...ugh. That sound just stays with you.

Fender Bender!

If I can't have that, then I guess driving around after the cyclone ripped through this time. Not easy seeing the town you've spent all your life in torn to shreads.

Hmmm.. Well my father was a police officer and I have seen some disturbing things that he has brought home..

The top of the list though for me would either be
The autopsy I once stood in on at a VA hospital

OR

When there was a plane crash in Kenner years ago and my dad was called to help out we went, and while I was walking outside the crash perimeter I saw a few bodies (cut in half, one was impaled on a fence)..

I would have to say watching my 19 year old niece die of bone cancer or the look on my nephew's face after returning from his marine tour in Iraq.

Seeing my dad die. He was standing there one minute and then just collapsed. Thank you cardiac arrest. It was surreal. We were just about to go shovel the snow (January of 05) and then we were racing to the hospital. Not to psycho babble, but the doctor said that there was nothing they could have done to save him, but I never believed him. Being 25 at the time, I knew life ain't like the movies, but I still never believed the doctor.

there were pic on the hyundai site i go to there were pis of a lambo gallardo that a person just bought and was going to fast and flipped it over in a wreck and burst into flames and because the gallardo has lambo doors (open up not out) the people got trapped inside and burned alive....... and you could see chared and unchared remains in the car

Yes, please.

I watched a film when I was in basic, a film of the Vietnam war, a soldier had his face burned beyond recognition, you could see his mouth gasping for air, obviously in pain, but he was too weak to make a sound.

That, and I watched "The Man Who Fell to Earth"...worst. film. ever.

The most disturbing thing I've seen recently is pictures of this extremely rare skin disease where the person suffers huge rock-like growths over their skin. They turn into gargoyles, basically. I'm not sure if it's real, but the pictures are high def and close up so there's some likelihood.

It really makes me wonder if maybe all these folk tales about monsters from centuries back were unfortunate people like this guy who got stuck on the wrong end of the gene pool.

And I thought gout was bad.

Kind of puts my life into perspective. Makes me very grateful for everything I have in life.

Centers everything, actually.

meh...i used to fillet fish whilst they were still alive..

most disturbing thing i've seen?
a pair of crows pecking the eyes out of a few day old lamb.

San Marino Grand Prix 1994. Enough said.
