I’ve sat in a wreck awaiting medical professional to get me out of my car while I was broken and banged up. First responders are absolute heroes. Think about how many people can’t watch a RU-vid video about a fatality but first responders see death every shift. They don’t hesitate to help us when we’re the victim. When you’re writhing in pain and scared to your core, a fire fighter or EMT or police officer is all you want in that moment. I’m so grateful for those who choose that profession.
I can only imagine the relief you get when you see a firefighter or medic come up to you and start helping you after something like that. I just hope it’s only imagining and I never have to actually experience that.
"Think about how many people can’t watch a RU-vid video about a fatality but first responders see death every shift." That is PRECISELY why I'm here. I don't have the stomach to live in their shoes completely, but I feel it's important to understand their sacrifice as much as possible. Forcing myself to see what they see is my way of paying tribute to their service.
My fiance was killed instantly when he fell asleep at the wheel after a long day at work and hit a tree. Our son was 5 months old at the time. I'll never forget the knock on the door and my mom talking with someone and then screaming , saying how am I going to tell her. I thought he had gotten in trouble and that's why the police where there. The reason I'm saying this is because it was also on July 25th, but in 2013, so when I saw the video date I got chills. My son is 8 now, and I try to keep the memory of his father alive for him! Rip Christopher Pierce. We love you baby! Your son's playing football now! And he loves the Patriots just as much as you did!
My brother and son do this for a living and I've seen my brother reduced to his knees in tears . No strength to get up because he was so heart broken by what he witnessed at his job. He came in the door and hit his knees. I also recall a few nights him waking up screaming when he first started volunteering at the fire house . He woukd get runs at all hours. He started at 15 riding his bike to the firehouse until he got a car. Now my son is a paramedic. Thank you to all who help us ❤ 🙏🏼💕
Hi, my name is Rev Michael Whipple I’m a first responder Chaplain for these kinds of traumas as well as Disasters and Crisis intervention. I care very much about these men and women. I’m very happy to hearing a loving respectful question such as yours. God bless.
youd think common sense prevails, but looking at the immediate family around. i'd imagine logical sense and/or common sense is minimal. bunch of ignorant buffoons.
It's not easy to deal with day in and day out. As a Volunteer Firefighter sometimes it's so stressful we don't even talk about it. I work in a small town around Orangeburg S.C. tragedy seems to make a pretty big mark around here. Being single I mostly talk to my Sister and Mother.
In the state of New Jersey they have the Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Team. It’s led by a few licensed therapists but a majority of them are volunteers themselves who have “been through it before” no matter what “it” is. Suicides, mass casualties, children, losing a fellow volunteer in the line of duty. Call them and they are with you within 48 hours.
As far as i'm concerned,all the firefighters of the world,are living angels. may god protect you. And to the people who didnt like this,are you normal? if one of your family or you got hurt you would'nt want them there, check to see if you have a heartbeat n every way *GOD BLESS YOU* and all your collegues
most police all ambulance and firefighter personal deserve the millions not athletes....the stuff they see everyday can make most people want to kill themselevs
i didnt know angels had a salary. good too know they charged for their services rendered. to be truly altruistic one musnt charge for a good deed done. or one cant really be an angel.
Because of your channel I have a whole new level of respect for first responders, firefighters EMTs and police officers. Thank you for showing what really goes on. When I pass accidents now, I have a better understanding of what is happening.
Look at how many firemen are at that scene. They aren't tripping over each other, it's like each one knows what their part in this rescue is and they work like a well oiled machine. Very impressive.
No matter how good you are there’s someone out there who has no regard for your life and will kill you. Every time you step out into your car and come back home is a miracle.
@@oneandonly7191 TRUTH my friend! We are only guaranteed one thing in this life and that one thing is death... You can always count on it to come and snatch away the ones we love most!
Darren Sarvis yes my dad was a firefighter and never talked much about what he saw He told me one time when he first got on the fire department he saw a family burn up in a car The biggest thing that bothered him the most was when a young woman walked into the station one morning and she had been pulled into a car the night before at a bus stop and had been continually raped by four men She was asking for her mother when she got to the station My mom told me in all the years they had been together it was the most shook up she had ever seen him He was also in the middle of the Korean War and saw much there also He just never talked about it much
Paul Romano greetings from California My dad was on the San Rafael fire department a city that is about thirty miles north of San Francisco My grandfather my moms dad was a San Francisco firefighter
This shakes me up and I work at a Trauma center in the OR. I see bad things that I never talk about and things are bloody and fast paced, but I'm in a controlled environment. I couldn't imagine being out in the field. They deserve our prayers for safety and support.
@@dondressel4802 I also was a victim of rape the same way as that girl...as a victim or someone else needing help it's always nice to know that all fire departments are there when we need you... 😍 😍 😍 thank you 😍😍
I couldn't even imagine showing up to a car wreck and my loved one was dead on the scene..this is so incredibly sad and devastating..prayers to the family and much respect to the first responders 🙏🙏🙏 #RIP
teach your kids responsibilities and that cars are not a toy to mess with and theyll be alright. add defensive driving on top of wreckless and youll be amazed. but give a bunch of immature children a 2 ton metal moving weapon and these are your consequences.
RU-vid Videos would you shut the fuck up and fuck off! Are you any perfect??? Yeah people need to be traveling at the speed limit- but shit happens. Don’t sit here and act like a completely hypocritical bitch and say “PeoPle NeED Ta LeaRn To DRiVe”. You probably be speeding yourself. Of course you’ll deny it because you’ll do anything just to look good. Shit happens my dude. Nobody’s perfect. So shut the hell up with your ceremonies and stop commenting on everyone’s comment too.
I’ve watched a drunk driver speed up in front of me and hit a yielding car turning left on a crossroad. Hit the car and tboned it. I immediately pulled my ebrake and slammed on my brakes. The passenger of the car was a 13 year old girl, when I pulled back the door and felt for a pulse there was nothing. The mom got out of the car unharmed and immediately pulled the drunk driver out of the car and started literally trying to kill him with her own hands. I immediately got on the phone with 911 and gave them the crossroads and cops and ambulances showed up within seconds because there had been calls prior. Also while on the phone literally pulling this lady off of the dude who hit their car. Then the cops cuff the man, and people wearing white came out and pronounced the little girl dead. The mom was just bawling and she cried and hugged me and said “thank you for trying to help my daughter” I immediately got back in my car and went home. I didn’t sleep for 3 days. I was put in that position for a reason though.
Jeremy Espinosa of Los Angeles was arrested and booked on a murder charge in the death of 18-year-old Eddie Sanchez, according to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Traffic Collision. LAPD said Espinosa was under the influence of both drugs and alcohol and was driving recklessly when the vehicle slammed into the light pole in the 3800 block of North Figueroa Street on July 25, 2019. The collision trapped three people inside the car and firefighters had to extricate them before taking two victims to a hospital in critical condition, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
@@Xlmbla12, no. Jeremy was the guy on the ground(his brother, the big guy, pulled him out as the family arrived 1st). The front seat passenger, Eddie, under the pink sheet, died.
As a first responder- I just want to express how thankful I am to hear compliments to our profession. Your right- it’s never easy especially when you can’t get certain images out of your mind. It’s people like you who make it so worth it ❤
These videos prompt me to drive more mindfully. I don’t talk on the phone or speed but they remind me to be more aware. And I’m in awe of these responders: they go about their difficult work so quietly and calmly. Bless all of you.
Iv started linking these videos to my Facebook and tagging family with kids who drive. And it works SO WELL. Iv seen kids who where absent drivers change there ways. One of my friends kids was so upset by these videos she yells at people who don’t where there seatbelt. Drives the speed limit and is a better defensive driver thank most adults. These are good teching lesson. I would say loudlabs should do public speaking at schools. To tell kids and people why driving a car is something to take serious.
That'sawesome 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏 Gives those kids a realization of true life accidents....great idea!! Yeah I think nowadays the driver said is a lot different than back in my day I was in high school back in the '80s and we actually had driver said classes at school and then drove during the day on school hours to get our Learners permit and during the time we would have to do we had to do the book work we saw movies of car accidents and they were very graphic scared me so bad I didn't even want to get in a car again for a while I was so freaked out but I don't think they show those movies anymore and they really should because kids are kids they just don't know until they have been shown or until it's too late
1 pronounced dead at the scene, two others taken to hospital in critical condition. Driver was charged with 187PC murder by LAPD. Couldn't find out any other info on whether the driver was convicted or what happened to the other crash victims in the aftermath.
People forget that all of the men and women who rush in to save the lives of strangers are themselves somebody's wife,husband, father,mother,brother or sister. They have their own struggles in life but you never ever hear thier stories,they only ever hear ours. Without any of them,many more of us would not be here now. The paramedics that saved my life twice due to illness I never had the chance to shake thier hands because I wasn't in a good way. They do thier jobs above and beyond and as far as I'm concerned each one of these people are heroes. Thank you for giving me my life back.
It's heartbreaking, sad and then you feel anger, seeing your family or friend lying on the pavement awaiting help, but let them do their jobs. Screaming at them isn't helping them save your loved one. Just pray and know all of the people there helping are angels on earth
This is nothing. You should see when overload big truckers run over padestrains and leave long stretch of squashed human flesh that totally unrecognised body parts !!!
PokerRun388 It’s not ALWAYS preventable. I’ve known of 3 separate accidents in which a deer or moose ran into the vehicle. One through the driver’s window-deer, one into passengers side-moose and the last was a deer into the passenger side windshield. How are they prevented?
Honestly, I just don't have the time nor or energy to go back & forth on preventable vs. non-preventable accidents. Just drive carefully & drive responsibly & the chances of you or anyone else ending up wrapped around a light pole will be slim to none. Good day.
You have the best videos. No talking, great camera work, just showing. Sometimes an interview with witnesses or law enforcement. Keep doing what you do. Very good work.
Sad but shouldn't be angry with fire department and everyone else if going be mad be mad at whoever was driving at high rate speed to wrap car around pole
@@staceylikesthelogicalthing8042 STFU. get tf outta the world. You know what that means. Clown. It's no reason to be angry about an accident. For what? It's silly and adds more drama.
Thank you to our hero's!! Fire, Emt and police. I know many people hate cops. But they are human they bleed, they die and unfortunately some are bad and corrupt. But not all are bad. They put their lives at risk everyday. Thank you to all the men and women for what you do for us and our family/friends!!
As a wrecker driver for 15 years, nothing prepares you for what you see, The life takes you away from your family, but that rush of the call was what it was all about
This is just terrible I feel sorry for everyone involved and the family having to see their loved ones like that. God bless all of our EMT's they really are the strong ones having to deal with stuff like this everyday.
Crew done a great job with jaws of life and rescue!! Guy on the ground didn't appear to have any life ( after 1 arm movement) no breathing activity. Prayers for everyone involved
The man on the ground was the brother maybe? Under the video it says the driver's brother pulled him out of the car and played him down. But if he were alive I think he'd of been on a stretcher so maybe your right, they did cover the person with a sheet. Maybe the info under the video is alittle wrong. Very sad what happened.
I'm wondering if the brothers were racing eachother? Or maybe they had all gone out to eat or something, and the family came up on the wreck? Who knows?
Rolling Thunder the accident was around 3 am so I really doubt the family was coming from eating. Most likely who ever they were racing notified the family right away
A lot of times someone’s sees the wreck that knows them and calls the family. Or one of them could have been following and seen it and called the rest of them
Police do not notify anyone. The coroner does and that takes a few hours maybe even days depending on the situation and how fast the decedent can be identified.
Iam a Licensed Mortician and deal with death on a daily basis. From peoe in their 90's all the way back to fetuses and everything in-between, I've seen it all. There is nothing more heart breaking when children and teens are involved. Especially when it comes to tragic accidents. There is nothing worse then hearing a blood curtuling scream from a Mother when they first come into the funeral home and seeing their child laying in a casket. Or I should say any death. Not all peoe react the same but, the worse are the kids. I have been in the business for over 40 years now and I do my very best to make sure that any injuries that may be visible are covered up. It takes a special person to do what I do. Dealing with the distraught family when they come into make the arrangements until the time of seeing their loved one laying in a box. And also the other kids from their school. I have had a set of parents leave before the visitation was over excuse of all the influx of kids coming in from the high school, it just overwhelmed them too much. Where I am, we hold visitation both daytime and evening. So a usual visitation is from 2-4 pm and again 6-8 or 7-9pm. It's a occupation that can wear one out physically and mentally.
93ish white honda civic EG. Roll cage* racing seats* most likely quick release steering wheel so no airbag. light weight wheels. OEM brakes. OEM skinny tires... exhaust and most likely a common B16 or B20 engine swap* yep, Super light car with much more power than stock plus a really stiff chassis due to the roll cage on skinny oem tires equals death trap if it's not on a track.. based on the impact damage, atleast 60 or 80 mph.
I think this video in full should be shown at high schools to teach young kids that it doesn't matter how much money you dump into a car, at a high rate of speed a roll cage can only do so much.
@@AFellowDoktuh that's not a roll cages people that's a sway bar for handling and I've been in a bigger crash and I have a caged car if I dident have one I would be dead rn
@@logangvids2816 yeah, you're totally right, that is just a sway bar in the video. But still roll cages don't always save lives, just ask all the racecar drivers who've died who had top of the line stuff.
@@AFellowDoktuh Rolls cages main purpose is to protect you and a passenger if your car ends up rolling over keeping the top from crumpling and crushing your head into your body (if you have seatbelt(s) on). Also, depending on the purpose of the cages, they can try keeping car together and protect you if gets hit on the sides. The quality of the install also matters, can't just stick bars anywhere with weak weld joints. Look at NASCAR for example, Rolls cages does aid in protection during high speed crashes.
Speed doesn't kill. Idiots who are drunk and high off of drugs kill. All cars go fast all cars can hit 100 miles per hour not everybody dies. John Force hasn't died that I know of and he's always speeding.
Serious improvements have been made in all aspects of vehicle safety between 1998 and now, drive newer, drive safer, stay alive. R.I.P to the person who lost their life in this incident.
I myself owe my life to first responders, at 15 my sister and I had a very bad car accident, and my mom so happened to be the one to found us, she recalls that her too out of desperation was crying and screaming asking for them to hurry up as I was out cold, passenger side just like this young girl.. they took about 45 minutes to an hour to get me out her fear was me passing away during that time Thank you all first responders for everything you do 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I still remember we asked our friend who was a firefighter while we were eating in restaurant and he said picking up peoples' body parts was one of his job's duty. Wtf.
Somebody has to do it. Problem is, many of us get thrown to the wolves if we get PTSD, from it. Then you're out a job, a purpose, and no one who wants help, from you.
I was a passenger in the front seat of a car when a former friend, who was driving, hit a car and we flipped. I awoke being thrown into the windshield. Luckily i had my seatbelt on and I didnt go through it. But I landed on the seat belt buckle and broken 8 ribs. It felt like a solid 45 seconds of gasping for air before I could take a deep breath. Longest seconds of my life. It took over an hour for fire and rescue to saw off the doors and get me out. I passed out when they put me on the stretcher, but its been almost 9 years and I still remember the voices of 2-3 EMT/Firefighters who rescued me. They talked me through the pain , de escalated my fears, even called my parents who lived overseas at the time. God bless the 1st responders. Videos like this should be shown for ever 16 year old first getting their drivers license - operating a car is no joke.
The guy who was screaming was the driver. He was charged with the Murder of the young man that was pulled on the ground. Wow! Rest In Peace young man! 18 years old, gone too soon!!!
What a shitshow! Dragging a patient away from the car without spinal or cervical protection & no regard for his injuries, shitty cribbing job, occupants in the vehicle without c-collars, & lifting a patient out of the car without her cervical or spine protected. Johnny and Roy would be highly disappointed!
I always wonder if firefighters are very careful drivers in their personal lives. They are always the ones pulling out bodies and seeing devastation first hand. I would imagine becoming a firefighter (or any first responder) would completely change a person’s outlook on traffic safety.
Ugh been a Firemedic 22 years and one thing you learn is never to run on any scene you have, second call PD asap to take care of any family members in the mix, when someone is laid out from ejection and there are others trapped the longer it takes to extricate the higher probability you have a trauma core, and it’s very hard to resuscitate those patients because they need an O.R. and a surgeon…sad for all involved.
I was in a car crash on my birthday was 3am going home from the club I was a little tipsy but nothing to much my DD stopped at an intersection and as we are talking a car smacks us from the side completely ripped the engine block out of the car and sent us to the other side of the intersection shit sobered me up immediately. As soon as I felt us stop moving I look at my friend and ask him if he’s ok he says yeah and we both hop out the car I literally dropped cuz my knees couldn’t handle my weight and I started checking myself if anything’s broken and there’s nothing I get up and I hobbled my way across the road and check on the driver of the other car and he’s not the car and I look on the other side and there’s a dude laying in the street with a lamp post laying on his motorcycle a couple feet from him, I came up to him and checked if he was alive and he’s having trouble breathing I tried to put him on his side so he breathes correctly and he started breathing right again and a bunch of people were coming out of the other clubs and they started telling me to leave him alone and that I’m gonna hurt him and they started getting aggressive and the dude tells me not to leave him as he’s spitting blood out of his mouth but they started pushing me and shit and I guess i can’t handle a drunk aggressive mob. The ambulance came a couple minutes after they threw me across the street and pronounced him dead. Worst part is the two passengers of the car that hit me flew out of their car and were killed too. They were found in a ditch on the other side of the road 30 yards from their car. Police came back with a report saying the car was traveling at 200kmh. If they had turned into us even 2 feet more me and my friend wouldn’t be alive today. 3 people died that night and 2 walked away with aching bodies.
My wife and I were in a bad wreck while on vacation in Florida. An older lady ran a stop sign and tboned us. I was driving and my wife was the passenger. She had minor injuries because she was on her phone and didn't see it coming. 2 years and 3 surgeries later, I'm still dealing with it. The reason is because I saw it coming and tensed up. Drunks don't get as hurt because they don't tense up
I just want to say thank you to the first responders. They see death every day, and still come back to work to do it all over again. I swear to you I don’t know how they do it, but I’m so grateful that they can do it. I’ve never been in a car accident, (I’m 55) but if I am ever in a car accident, I know first responders are going to be there. To all first responders, thank you with all my heart, God bless each and every one of you. I am so so grateful that you are you. ❤️✝️
This car had to be going extremely fast in order to do that kinda damage! Be careful who you ride with. Maybe he was drinking. This is sad because it could have been avoided at a normal speed
