Gaziantep, Turkey

A teenager, Barış T., was killed while performing a high-risk bicycle stunt on the D-400 highway.

Barış was descending a hill at high speed on his bicycle whilst lying prone on the saddle when he crashed into the rear of a slowing car. He was subsequently run over by a bus, killing him at the scene.

On the highway, no less. It’s probably a good thing he’s no longer around to reproduce

Laughing during a sudden tragedy isn’t about finding it funny. It’s a shock response.

When the brain gets hit with something completely unexpected and horrific, the stress system overloads before the rational part can catch up. The result can be “incongruous affect” like laughing, freezing, or going numb. It’s the nervous system dumping adrenaline and trying to regulate itself, not an emotional judgment.

Emergency and trauma psychology consider this a normal acute reaction. It’s physiology under stress, not a lack of empathy.

I was once taken off a case by a black state employee after I laughed when a client made a blatantly racist remark. It was not funny and I was not amused. The reaction was pure shock at the audacity, an involuntary burst before my brain caught up. Different situation, same wiring.
