Me being such a youngster I have never even heard of the Budd Dwyer vid, jeebus that was gory.

re: the arm in the 'Vette pic:
you are talking about right in front of the license plate right? That is not his arm sticking up behind the truck.

In front of the license plate, olive green colored sleeve, definitely looks like his arm.

I'm not gonna watch the Budd vid, not as brave as you guys and don't want to lose the delicious ice cream in my stomach.

Well damn, I thought I'd found pictures absent of human gore.

Ya'll are focusing on the wrong thing!!

The worst I have seen are sent to me from ta bordertown undercover cop. Dismembered or mutilated bodies from the drug wars are not a pretty sight.

I just read the wikipedia entry on Dwyer. Crazy stuff.

the Dwyer vid is not graphic in such that there is hardly any mutilation but there is ALOT of blood post GSW. For me the disturbing part of the Dwyer vid is watching him give his speech, pull the gun, ***the people there begging him not to***, and watching him shoot himself

Dill,

yes, that I agree and that is what I was talking about also.

Why is the gunshot so quiet in the Dwyer video?

GD it, curiosity got the best of me ...

Yup....had to watch the Dwyer video. Jesus Christ.

Phew. Glad I have refrained.

A friends dad in high school, also our sunday schhol teacher, is a partner for Fulbright & Jaworski. He handles a lot of their south texas lawsuits where he defends copanies like cat, goodyear, international etc. when people sue. Most are settled out of court.

About once a year, he would take us to his office and tell us stories of some of his lawsuits accompanied with pictures. Some of the stuff was pretty bad like an autopsy photo of a guy who hit a semi head on with his ranger; a truck driver burnt to a crisp in a culvert trying to outrun his exploding tanker truck; and a lady that was drunk and didn't see the semi pulling across the highway at night and took her head off.

It was a reminder to us to drive safe and aware. I think I will pass on looking up this stuff though.

So in the situation described in the OP, how many people died? Driver and the guy he hit?

I'm not watching any of this stuff. I've seen the goalie neck slice one but I'm pretty sure he survived.

goalie did survive, still tough to watch.
