do you ever stop and think what it must be like for people the moment their looking head on at a collision? from the victims point of view? that 3-5 seconds where your vehicle is struck and then thrown to the side, possibly hitting others, and when all is said and done, your car ends up being an almost unnoticeable, indesrcibable, piece of twisted, crushed, and scraped metal on the side of the highway. tiny fragments of busted glass leading from the actual accident to wherever your car spunout to and died last. and you saw the tragic accident and couldnt stop it from happening. and you couldnt stop that semi. and you couldnt save your own life. the only real thing you can do is scream and yell as your jerked from your chair from impact. i cant even actually describe in words how horrible this would be. and i dont have too, because we all know of this horrendous experience... it could have been a car full of young kids having fun, enjoying life. it could have been an older woman - a grandmother. yet, even though most of us stare, not just look, gawk we cant actually see ourselves in their shoes. we eyeball the scene(for way to long) and then after the lanes are cleared - thats that. we dont stop and look in the rearview - just right back to our daily lives; this was a human being. this could have been you. why stare? why not put more thought into caring? dont just look at the scene; look deeper. think about the impact today caused for an entire family, classroom, workplace, etc for a lifetime of people. it truly hurts my heart thinking of what these people thought right before they were hit. and did they know they'd die tonight? probably within that amount of time, no; but still. this is a sight i hope to never see in 1st person. i hate it, but im lucky to only see this in a 3rd person perspective.
