Are you talking about The Lift (at least that's the title I know it by)? German film, I believe. Its elevator decapitation scene is legitimately disturbing, and I'm a seasoned horror fan. I own it on VHS.

First you're here and then you're not. That's crazy shit.

But honestly, I’ve always wondered how I’d react in a situation like this. I’ve never been in a situation like this, and am curious as to how ‘desensitized’ I am. I kind of want to think that I’d be shocked or scared, but I genuinely feel like my reaction would be the shock of ‘holy shit, I’m seeing it happen in person’.

My brother, not too long ago, was a first responder to a plane accident. The plane took off from a theme park, and after climbing to around 100 feet, the plane’s engine blew out and essentially went down for a hard, uncontrolled landing.

The guy survived, but his legs naturally were the first part that hit the ground (I feel bad for imagining his plane being similar to a car from the Flinstones ), and his lower jaw was gone from presumably hitting the yoke/control stick; there was extensive damage to the rest of the body. There was absolutely no way he was ever going to see again, since the way my brother described it made it sound like his head was one of those shotgun-to-the-face-and-survived pictures/videos.

My brother and his wife both have been lifeguards, so they have their medical shit which makes them legally obligated to tend to him.

But yeah, think if I saw something crazy happen, it would be surreal, but not traumatizing. My baptism by fire was my oldest brother showing me a Chechen beheading video of that Russian soldier when I was 9.

Oh yeah, I found the article about the crash, which shows the plane. You can see how the damage to the plane would match what happened to the guy:

I know this is an old thread, but occasionally something fascinates me and I look into it more, I looked up his facebook page (because, well, I was curious about the possible injuries) but the guy came out of it really well, is still flying, looks physically normal - nothing, basically not a scratch on his face. Still flying and out and about, so clearly eyesight is fine. Fb photos from a year ago show he is normal, intact, and photoed with family and also in planes, and his wife wrote this on May 2, 2017: "May 2, 2017 ·
I just wanna share this with you all, and hope it encourages someone out there.
Three years ago was a memorable moment for my whole family. My husband plane crash accident on May 1st 2014; and at the same timeframe he was in the middle of building a log ride project, we also sold our waterfront home in Prince George BC, and bought another lakefront home in Vancouver island BC -in the middle of moving process, and homeschooling our four kids. Between three-four weeks after the accident, my hubby was discharge from the hospital earlier than expected (God is awesome- miracle unfolding). He went flying again with his other airplane, completed the big contract project (the Timber Falls Log Ride project) at Calaway park in Calgary Alberta in that same year, and within budget considering his condition with a neck brace on and a cast on his leg. Two months later the cast and the neck brace were removed as he gradually heals. He went thru multiple surgeries in the first week being in the hospital. More than 35 broken bones mainly in his face (broken jaws) than his right foot and neck or ribs. The top notch doctors said that he should have been dead. Every single day I am humbled and thankful to God for an everyday miracle! My four children were witnessing all this as they see their dad heals from his wound. "All the king's horses and men, put humpty dumpty together again" ;-).
Miracle happens everyday. Your Life is a miracle."

The property managers and the building owners need their faces stomped in after they're sued into destitution. News reports state that they had been fined over a safety mechanism that had been tampered with and disabled, which they most likely did because it prevented the operation of the elevator and it was cheaper to keep the elevator operational by disabling it instead of fixing it. Residents said in interviews that elevator malfunctions were a frequent issue and they all knew about it, with the risk to life and limb being obvious, and yet nothing was done to fix it. Had I been a resident there and stuck in that elevator behind the victim, they probably would have had to pull me off of the property manager to keep them out of the hospital.

Conor McGregor can't even punch a 60-year-old alchy off a bar stool. Who gives a fk what he'd say?

Going on 2?

Horrible way to die... abject, needless, pointless hideousness... "but he's with the Lord now..." That preternatural, Cosmic motherfucker sure works in mysterious ways, no?
I bet you the first guy goes either "Holy shit, I'm lucky!", or thinks it's a miracle, thanking "God"... according to his religious views, or lack thereof, respectively.
