Disturbing, but in a positive way... definitely makes you think.

Very disturbing indeed, but a great wake-up video

It's the harsh reality that [most] folks do not want to deal with, until after the fact.

Do you think more stuff like this should be shown on TV? Would it make people think twice before doing crazy stuff? Or do people just want to bury their head in the sand, and pretend this don't really happen?

I'm not sure, but maybe, hard hitting stuff is the way to go, in the de-sensitized World we live in Today.

Right on Mel... check this out,



Some of you may have seen this video already.
Granted the man didn't have the right of way to
cross the street, he already made it across.
Details from Snopes.com

He did survive. By a stroke of luck the dent from
the crash is the part that overcame him when the
car landed on top.
