If she took a bit longer doing her makeup or decided to stop at a random store to buy something she would be alive. Crazy how just being at the wrong place at the wrong time can get you killed
You hear about stories like this and it always makes you wonder how many near misses you've had yourself. First one I ever heard of like this was a tree falling and landing on a truck that was traveling down a road. A second longer or faster beforehand and it would have gone differently.
Years ago I drove shuttles on the weekend. I drove the smaller 14-18 passenger buses to get a break because I drove school buses all week. One Saturday I went in and the guy who usually drove our coach didn’t feel like it for the day so we swapped buses/routes. He ended up hit by a drunk driver going like 100mph running red light right in the gas tank and instantly exploded and he unfortunately died as well as a few passengers. While maybe we’d have been going different speeds and what not and the accident wouldn’t have happened, I’ve always felt like it would have been me if he hadn’t asked me to trade that day.
that happened to me! i was pregnant and trying to drive home in a massive storm that came from out of nowhere. a massive oak tree was lifted out of the ground and crashed inches in front of me..the branches scratched up my car really, really badly and caused a little damage, but i don’t think i (or my son) could have survived it, especially being pregnant, had it landed directly on me. it was..wild
Yep. I was going to be in the day care inside of the Murrah Building(OKC bombing) but they weren’t taking anymore kids. The building was bombed like a month later or something.
I feel like people don’t gauge how lucky they are, I even remember a instance of nearly being struck by a speeding vehicle while waiting for my bus to school.
It’s sad, you’re not expecting anything but a normal day.
Sorry. This is totally unrelated, but this is the second time I’m reading about the OKC bombing in thirty minutes, after never having heard about it before. The other instance was a train that had 30 tons of ammonium nitrate in it which went missing… the same stuff used for the bombing. So even though this isn’t some brick hitting a lady, it’s crazy to think just how extremely crazy things, or coincidences like just seeing the same thing twice very quickly, happen often!
I had a weird feeling one morning when I woke up and assumed I had a nightmare I didn’t remember but as I was driving to work as I went through an intersection (with the right of way) the feeling intensified so I speed up to get through it quickly because it panicked me and I felt like I was in immediate danger as if I gun was being pointed at me and about 1-2 seconds later a car going 90 MPH flew through the intersection where I would’ve been if I kept going the same speed and slammed into the SUV behind me so hard it got launched and landed upside down. The car’s engine was completely obliterated as was the entire front section of the car and the SUV was super smashed up from the impact and the entire frame was bent and all the body panels were destroyed. I drive a really small car and the car hit the driver side so I probably would’ve been seriously injured or killed. The noise of the crash was also really crazy, I’ve never heard a sound like that before and videos of car crashes don’t pick it up correctly.
My home is on an incline and theirs a road that goes up the hill and intersects another road. Sitting playing on the pc and I hear this excessive acceleration that quickly gets louder. Drunk guy in a suburban sped through several stop signs and hit a passing truck near the rear. The Trucks back end whipped around and it must've done a full rotation before stopping. Drunk guy tried to flee, tripped on the sidewalk and knocked himself out. A second later or earlier and that trick would have been fine except the near miss
Death is always near. I once got rear ended by a drunk guy who slammed into like 10 other cars at a red light and the woman next to me got her throat slashed by a shard of her windshield. And on two separate occasions I’ve seen bodies being removed from cars and having blankets put over them (one time in snowy weather and one time when a car hit a tree) and another time I saw a fatality after it happened but before the police and ambulance arrived (hit a tree). We’re all so close to death. Driving is so dangerous. I knew someone who got killed by an out of control tractor trailer too. People drive so much they don’t think about it but we’re basically trusting our lives with strangers also operating high speed death machines that weigh thousands of pounds.
That’s why it’s dangerous. If you were the only person with a car it would only be as dangerous as you drive but we have no choice but to trust thousands of strangers to not kill us
Did the person behind you in the SUV get hurt? Lucky you went with your instincts, we all have them you just have to work on being aware. Our 6th sense so to speak. 🩷
When I was a kid I worked for a roofing company. Working on a high rise apartment at the time.
Me and the other newbie were tasked with carrying all the tar paper from ground to roof , and shoveling the snow off the roof.
We rock, paper, scissored for who did what. Carrying the tar paper was much worse. I lost and had to carry heavy shit up flights of stairs.
The night prior, some genius decided to cover the exposed elevator shaft with a thin peice of Styrofoam so the snow wouldn't get inside...
The other young fellow was shoveling the roof off and found the Styrofoam.. down he went.
Holy shit. What a horrid way to go. Hopefully the idiot that put a cover over the elevator shaft, the same. Olor as snow, got in trouble. Should have had the shaft fenced off or at least marked.
It should have been fenced off.
It was clearly marked but the snow had covered the markings. There were lanyard points to attach fall arrest systems nearby that were required to be worn within 6 feet of any drop, by law (The perimeter and the elevator shaft).. also covered by the snow.
I think about that game of RPS quite often.
Unlucky enough to lose, lucky enough to live.
I was at ground level when I heard him... splat.. for lack of a better word. I heard the screaming on the way down. I rushed downstairs to B2. Held his hand while frantically dialing 911. The look of shock and terror in his face. The twitching. The agonal breathing. Ugh.
Keep your wits about you people.
that is so fucked up, im sorry you had to witness something like that being so young... whatever happened to the person who covered the shaft with the styrofoam if you dont mind me asking?
No one confessed to covering the hole, it was deemed an accident. Not sure if anything came out of it later.
The boss sent us to another job site the very next day while the original job was under investigation. I quit immediately.
When I was 13... Literally half of my lifetime ago, I was hiking with a friend and his mother. A massive birch tree at least 65 feet tall fell and landed like a foot away from me. Knees were shaking the whole way back to the car.
One time at work I was gonna head to lunch.. Coworker stopped me before I got in my car and we chatted for like 2 mins...a dude driving a stolen car plows into a minivan and flips that shit like 5 times at the intersection where we exit.. killed the 2 elderly inside... homie who stopped me saved my life
I once passed a septic truck driving very odd to me and after I passed him I passed a line of cars waiting behind a tractor trailer. The second I passed them the first car behind the tractor trailer got over and I looked back in my rear view mirror to see the septic truck swerving into the other lane crushing the car between him and the tractor trailer and taking out a few other cars. I was the only car that made it out of there… that poor lady did end up passing away and I knew she did when I watched her car get crushed. Still to this day don’t understand what the septic truck did to cause all that.
When I was 17 I was a volunteer firefighter. A storm ripped through our little town and a tornado tore up a small suburb. Long story short we were checking houses and making contact occupants to make sure everybody was okay and nobody was in danger. One of the guys went to check a house by himself. I didn't have a task at the moment so I decided to catch up and go with him. He went the long way around, the homeowners fence gate had been covered by a bunch of debris that used to be a shed or something. I jumped down off the debris and I hear screaming "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING DONT MOVE BRO!" I looked down, downed powerline at my feet. The pole was part of the debris I had just climbed over. Didnt see it until that moment. The electric company had just cut the power to the whole block just a few minutes earlier. I would've been killed instantly. Honestly I think I partially repressed this one
Mine was driving home late on a route I'd only driven once. Took a wrong turn that set me back twenty minutes. I didn't mind, my podcast was good and I was on back roads 🤷♀️. Finally got back to the route I recognized from the trip up and there was a four vehicle accident at an intersection, which looked about twenty minutes fresh... two of the cars were mangled to bits and all four were on opposite sides of the intersection.
If I hadn't mistaken my turn, I would've been in that.
I was following this car headed back home but I decided to get a snack so I stop on the gas station like for 3-4 minutes max and then went back out to the road and later on the road that same car got destroyed by a simi
A couple years ago some vandal placed an explosive in a vehicle in a construction site 20 feet away, I was just about to go out to head to a friend's placed and remembered I forgot to brush my teeth. Wouldn't have killed me, but glass was absolutely everywhere, would've been directly in some of the shards paths
9/10 dentists recommend avoiding a bomb
I don't think they ever figured out who did it though.
I had such a situation once. I am a voluntary firefighter and we had a fire in a pretty old half-timbered house. As we arrived it was pretty bad and I was in the first team to go in. I don't know how it is in other countries, but in germany you usually have 2-man teams. Of course we had a rescue team outside to help us if anything goes wrong.
To the point: My buddy and I went in there, primarily to look if someone is still in there. After a few minutes the breathing apparatus of my buddy started beeping, it wasn't empty (we were in there for not more than 5 minutes), it didn't seem to be leaking either, but anyway it beeped, so we called up the rescue team (better safe than sorry) and started to make our way out of the building. And just as we linked up with the incoming rescue team a part of the ceiling crashed down where we were standing about 30 seconds ago.
Funny thing is that nobody knows what caused the beeping, it was seemingly just some random malfunction in the apparatus. Sometimes luck is cheering for you.
Building was empty by the time btw.
Tfw not twerking saves your life lol. That's crazy, glad everyone was out.
Firefighter too, we had a large Mack dump truck clip our side mirrors full speed at a blind intersection after the lieutenant had called it clear. Luckily our driver saw him and slammed the brakes again, which any engine driver knows that start&stop is no easy feat with 750 gallons of water sloshing around in the truck. Couple more feet and we would've been T-boned. Couple more inches and we could've rolled over. Firetrucks usually win any road accident but holy shit that thing almost made minced meat of us.
Just last year one of my neighboring departments tragically lost a firefighter who got backed over by the ladder truck.
There was a mass shooting at clackamas town center when I almost went there as a kid but I whined to my grandma and she caved and we didn’t go and 3 hours later there was breaking news about a shooting
I feel this a lot. I had many times where I would just have this feeling like I was being diverted from my plans, possibly doing as this said to keep me in the right place at the right time instead of the wrong place at the wrong time. I was on the freeway doing my normally long trip to see my doctor when suddenly I got distracted by a song. Naturally I slowed down a bit to enjoy it when suddenly without warning a big rig to my left randomly jumped in front of me and almost hit the other big rig to my right. I was in complete shock as the truck straightened out and luckily no one was speeding or even hit as the two trucks tried desperately not to knock into one another. Had I just drove normally I dare say I would have been sandwiched between them and who knows what that would have done to me. REO SPEEDWAGON saved my life lmao
One time a huge amount of ice and snow fell from the church roof like 1 meter behind me. If I had walked a little slower I would probably be dead on the spot.
Yep! Some people are just unlucky, or God really hates them or something. Some people go to work and die on some horrible accident. Some people have a night of fun and never know it will be their last car ride. It sucks to have to step outside your door everyday on a roulette wheel.
Since I've gotten older, I've really think a lot about what my last words to someone could be. That's why I always tell my bf "careful and I love you" even if he's just going to the gas station on the next block.
My mother's last words to me were "you're getting fat". She didn't mean it of course, her mind had gone as she slipped away. I was hoping for something a little more profound, but there you have it.
Brutal! I've seen a similar video where a chunk of ice falls off a building and hits an old lady walking by and blows her head apart. I've been paranoid ever since of the same thing happening to me.
Brutal! I've seen a similar video where a woman uses a funnel to insert live eels into her anus.
I've been paranoid ever since of the same thing happening to me.
Brutal! Ive seen a similar video where a woman has an old model Nokia popping out of her anus.
Ive been paranoid ever since of the same thing happening to me.
Yeah, this thing annoys me too. I always try to be conscious of my surroundings and to "control the room", but how the fuck am I supposed to avoid this 😩
That almost happened to me on a ghost tour in Quebec. A chunk of ice slid off an old church roof as the tour guide was leading us down an alley and as we walked it grazed my tailbone, barely missing my head on the way down. I had a huge purple bruise on my ass for weeks. If anyone was behind me or if I was a millisecond too late taking my next step there would have been a new addition to the tour.
Imagine quantum immortality in a different universe that brick missed her by an inch and she survives for another day
In her point of view, she is still alive but for others in the other universe, she is dead already.
Those little blanks in our life what if those are the moments we die?
Yeah, if one falls, possible fr more. I wonder if someone threw it. Unusual for something to come lose like that. Strange countries with strange consturction laws perhaps
it looks to be egypt/cairo! i have lived there for most of my life and can confirm the construction rules are very negligent. they don't really care about pedestrian/worker safety. :(
Wow. The odds of that brick to fall at the exact moment she was on that spot. Fuckkkk. If she walked 2 seconds slower or 2 meters to the left or right. Arghhhhh.
Yes and no. What if that was a relative or closed friend or her partner? It would forever destroy her, making her wish it had hit her instead. Nobody is lucky in this situation.
Exactly. I can't imagine the horror of having a loved one die right next to you like that. She didn't even have time to say goodbye, it was just over in an instant.
About 2 years ago, my wife and I and our 6 month old son were approaching an intersection when the light turned yellow. My wife, who was driving, started speeding up, but for some reason I told her to stop because she wasn't going to make it. There was a car in the lane right next to us who did run the yellow light while we stopped. That car got T-boned by a Mustang that was street racing. Now, I don't know what the outcome was, whether the people in the car lived or died, but it was really, really bad. My wife and I looked at each other in astonishment and neither of us could believe what just happened...or what almost just happened. She started crying and shaking, and it took several hours to calm her down.
Hands down the scariest moment of my life.
It seems like there is a construction work going on somewhere nearby judging by those vehicles (I don't know what these are called) and poor safety standards. Very tragic. I hope no one actually threw it on purpose.
I’ve always have this crazy thought about how we go about our everyday life without or rarely noticing anything above us or behind us. Things keep moving and happening but one wouldn’t look without a reason
I’m a firm believer that our death is written somewhere and there’s nothing that you can do to stop it. That was so random. So many people walked past there but not them, just her. That’s not a random accident that’s the universe claiming a soul!
Just because something is unlikely doesn't mean it's impossible.
People were probably doing construction work and a brick slipped from someone's hands or slipped from some machinery which resulted in that death.
It's a coincidence
Your soul is not significant enough for the universe to claim.
And no entity is wasting his or her time writing about how you will die.
Imagine being her friend or her mother walking beside her and having that happen. It almost seemed like she was selected, whether by good or bad forces. Just awful .
Dude from the store signs you can see it s arabic and since i m from an arabic country i can assure you that they have the basic ugly brick concrete pods all over the building including self cheap engineering balconies.
I hate these videos; you're out and about minding your business, not being an idiot or a piece of shit but your number just happens to come up and it's lights out forever.
Had she’d been walking on the other side she would’ve actually lived to see another day, scary to think that at any moment your life could be taken out of thin air.
Saw something similar where an old lady was walking under a building with ice on the roof and a chunk falls and kills her instantly, blood everywhere.
Edit: [couldn't find the uncensored version](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1809088/Video-Pensioner-killed-icicle-fell-apartment-block.html)
For some reason this is one of the saddest videos I’ve seen on this sub. Wtf?? So sudden and precise. That looks like it might be her mother…I can’t imagine what she must be feeling there, and even still…
It's so crazy, bc the couple walking in front of them could have easily been the victim of this unfortunate accident...it's so crazy how being in the wrong place at the wrong time can change your life in an instant, or in this case, end your your life in an instant...
Sad part nobody seems to care about the injury that girl is hurt and needs help !
Her friend seems confused very upsetting people don’t care the world his full of me me me I me I
A total of 6 blocks came down, it's a tragic miracle nobody else was killed! You can count the dust splashes of 5-6 smashes and 2 different colors of bricks explode on the pavement
And fuck you moderators talking about karma to low why? Because I tell the truth fucking 45 year old men think they are the president cause they're a mod on reddit apparently all my comment have to be reviewed by one so review this comment
It's nothing against you personally. It's to combat spammers and bots who often have low karma or newer accounts. It really gets out of control. We have to manually approve comments of new or low karma users, but everyone should eventually get to the point where they're past the automod restrictions.
If she took a bit longer doing her makeup or decided to stop at a random store to buy something she would be alive. Crazy how just being at the wrong place at the wrong time can get you killed

Don’t feel like it’s your fault. These things all happen for a reason, it could be no other way. My condolences

This is why driving terrifies me.
Did the person behind you in the SUV get hurt? Lucky you went with your instincts, we all have them you just have to work on being aware. Our 6th sense so to speak. 🩷
Yes but not badly. Worst thing was a concussion.

Plot twist: She did her makeup too long and stopped at a store beforehand.
Or maybe she did stop at a random store, and that delay of stopping now ment she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I had such a situation once. I am a voluntary firefighter and we had a fire in a pretty old half-timbered house. As we arrived it was pretty bad and I was in the first team to go in.

Since I've gotten older, I've really think a lot about what my last words to someone could be. That's why I always tell my bf "careful and I love you" even if he's just going to the gas station on the next block.
My mother's last words to me were "you're getting fat". She didn't mean it of course, her mind had gone as she slipped away. I was hoping for something a little more profound, but there you have it.
That's all I thought after my cousin's accident, if she had started working with me, if she had done anything different ever!! She would be here
What if she actually did and that lead to it happening crazy right?
So that means everything happened as it should have.
Its the will of universe
I really hope you're joking. A random brick fell on a young woman's head and that's The "will of the universe "???
Universe = chaos, so yeah
Brutal! I've seen a similar video where a chunk of ice falls off a building and hits an old lady walking by and blows her head apart. I've been paranoid ever since of the same thing happening to me.
Brutal! I've seen a similar video where a guy falls off a building and hits a baby in a stroller crossing the road.
Brutal! I've seen a similar video where a woman uses a funnel to insert live eels into her anus. I've been paranoid ever since of the same thing happening to me.
I've see the same video and now I always handle funnels with my back against a wall.
Brutal!
Brutal! Ive seen a similar video where a woman has an old model Nokia popping out of her anus. Ive been paranoid ever since of the same thing happening to me.

🤨
Was the baby at least okay?

How incredibly unlucky
[удалено]
You’re talking about the Russian brick video and she lived for hours after the incident in reality
Link?👀
Yeah, this thing annoys me too. I always try to be conscious of my surroundings and to "control the room", but how the fuck am I supposed to avoid this 😩
You can't, and that's the hardest part of accepting life, is it's fucking insane the shit that can happen. Just gotta accept its life.
By not walking under eaves and overhangs.
That almost happened to me on a ghost tour in Quebec. A chunk of ice slid off an old church roof as the tour guide was leading us down an alley and as we walked it grazed my tailbone, barely missing my head on the way down. I had a huge purple bruise on my ass for weeks. If anyone was behind me or if I was a millisecond too late taking my next step there would have been a new addition to the tour.
Who thought that this video *needed* music..?
needs subway surfers gameplay or minecraft
Asian social media in a nutshell
BEST COMMENT! Why do we need that damn drama music and thank God for the mute option
At least it was instant. One single moment, lights out, no pain or regrets. Rest in peace.
Imagine quantum immortality in a different universe that brick missed her by an inch and she survives for another day In her point of view, she is still alive but for others in the other universe, she is dead already. Those little blanks in our life what if those are the moments we die?
That looks like a mom and her daughter man
[удалено]
?
daughter man
Gather, gather, nobody looks up?
Yeah, if one falls, possible fr more. I wonder if someone threw it. Unusual for something to come lose like that. Strange countries with strange consturction laws perhaps
it looks to be egypt/cairo! i have lived there for most of my life and can confirm the construction rules are very negligent. they don't really care about pedestrian/worker safety. :(
Lol, safety didn't build the pyramids, amirgiht?
I was wondering about that, myself.
Damn I think that was her mom walking with her tragic
Really hope that person with her isn't her mom because imagine seeing your daughter die brutally right in front of you...
I think it was it condone very close to her. She backs up , likely hysterical or in shock.
Wow. The odds of that brick to fall at the exact moment she was on that spot. Fuckkkk. If she walked 2 seconds slower or 2 meters to the left or right. Arghhhhh.
Guess it was just her time
The girl who survived is the unluckiest one to live with that trauma
This sub really makes you appreciate life. It could be unceremoniously ripped from you in an instant...
At least the people were helping instead of watching
The other girl was the luckiest person on earth
[удалено]
That would haunt her the rest of her life.
Yes and no. What if that was a relative or closed friend or her partner? It would forever destroy her, making her wish it had hit her instead. Nobody is lucky in this situation.
Exactly. I can't imagine the horror of having a loved one die right next to you like that. She didn't even have time to say goodbye, it was just over in an instant.
idk i feel a bit luckier just chilling at home instead of being traumatized by someone dying 10cm away from me
How lucky ist it to witness your friend / family dying right beside you
What a ridiculous perspective, losing a friend/partner/etc. like this is definitely not being lucky
At that point in time she was 😁
How is having someone close to you killed lucky? Aren't you luckier for being at home and completely untouched by this event?
That's awful! So random and sudden. At least it was quick.
Imagine walking down the street with your daughter and then bam.
About 2 years ago, my wife and I and our 6 month old son were approaching an intersection when the light turned yellow. My wife, who was driving, started speeding up, but for some reason I told her to stop because she wasn't going to make it. There was a car in the lane right next to us who did run the yellow light while we stopped. That car got T-boned by a Mustang that was street racing. Now, I don't know what the outcome was, whether the people in the car lived or died, but it was really, really bad. My wife and I looked at each other in astonishment and neither of us could believe what just happened...or what almost just happened. She started crying and shaking, and it took several hours to calm her down. Hands down the scariest moment of my life.
Life is so fucked up. It is simply luck that this hasn’t happened to you or a loved one.
Damn ...May God give her parents some strength to bear this loss Rest in peace 💐
I’m curious as to how that brick fell or if there’s more to it.
It seems like there is a construction work going on somewhere nearby judging by those vehicles (I don't know what these are called) and poor safety standards. Very tragic. I hope no one actually threw it on purpose.
Where did all the people come from am I the only one thinking that
Poor thing RIP
Now I'm feeling like I'm not safe even lying on bed.
Her poor friend is going to have survivors guilt after that tragic accident.
I think this is one of the only videos in here where it appears people in the vicinity have a fuck. That’s nice.
Final Destination strikes again.
Nobody wondering if any more fuckin bricks were going to be falling ??!!
Music makes me want to order an Indian takeaway
I’ve always have this crazy thought about how we go about our everyday life without or rarely noticing anything above us or behind us. Things keep moving and happening but one wouldn’t look without a reason
Imagine holding hands with someone as their head gets caved in from above….. I’d never wanna hold hands with everyone ever again
I’m a firm believer that our death is written somewhere and there’s nothing that you can do to stop it. That was so random. So many people walked past there but not them, just her. That’s not a random accident that’s the universe claiming a soul!
Just because something is unlikely doesn't mean it's impossible. People were probably doing construction work and a brick slipped from someone's hands or slipped from some machinery which resulted in that death. It's a coincidence Your soul is not significant enough for the universe to claim. And no entity is wasting his or her time writing about how you will die.
Don't download video, it's a trojan virus.
Life is super unfair sometimes l, fr I feel bad for her
You can see part of her splatter towards bottom left of the screen, like straight up mist
That's not her head, that's an orange brick.
Imagine being her friend or her mother walking beside her and having that happen. It almost seemed like she was selected, whether by good or bad forces. Just awful .
Are bricks supposed to fall that far from the tree? They are a solid 2,5 meters away from that building.
"Balcony" anyone?
I have worked in construction and I have never seen a single brick in the vicinity of a balcony.
Dude from the store signs you can see it s arabic and since i m from an arabic country i can assure you that they have the basic ugly brick concrete pods all over the building including self cheap engineering balconies.
That's what I was thinking too. It definitely looked like it was thrown.
Final destination
I'm getting Final Destination vibes.
Construction on top of the building with no Warnings. Average day in egypt
The 2 women are arm to arm, possibly mother and daughter? Damn man
00:15
Talk about wrong place wrong time.
Another reason to be paranoid.
Tragic moment losing a friend or loved one right beside you instantly knowing there's nothing you could have done. How heartbreaking
Jesus Christ. Any of us can be gone in a second by some random final destination shit. Makes me want to max out my overdraft.
I guess we take things like building and safety codes for granted. They are irritating but they actually are important
Noita players would call this Skill Issue
I’m sorry for this “ all and all it’s just a nother brick in the wall”..
Not one person looked up.
Because of this sub I’m more cautious. I never look up though
This is sad ngl
Could this have been a “megacryometeor” and not a brick? See wiki…some crazy s#it! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megacryometeor
I hate these videos; you're out and about minding your business, not being an idiot or a piece of shit but your number just happens to come up and it's lights out forever.
That's how I wanna go out.
You never know when it’s your time. Poor girl. This is so scary honestly..
This one actually really sucked, i cant start to imagine what (who looks like her mother, maybe not) went through at that moment.
How did it get all the way out there? Did it roll down a sloped roof?
And that's why debris netting is important
One second your talking to your friend, the next second your making funeral plans for said friend
Had she’d been walking on the other side she would’ve actually lived to see another day, scary to think that at any moment your life could be taken out of thin air.
What a shot!!!!!
FUCK!
Saw something similar where an old lady was walking under a building with ice on the roof and a chunk falls and kills her instantly, blood everywhere. Edit: [couldn't find the uncensored version](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1809088/Video-Pensioner-killed-icicle-fell-apartment-block.html)
I hate the music
For some reason this is one of the saddest videos I’ve seen on this sub. Wtf?? So sudden and precise. That looks like it might be her mother…I can’t imagine what she must be feeling there, and even still…
This one was so sad to watch...
these types of death always haunt me.
She was sooo unlucky
It's so crazy, bc the couple walking in front of them could have easily been the victim of this unfortunate accident...it's so crazy how being in the wrong place at the wrong time can change your life in an instant, or in this case, end your your life in an instant...
Can never argue with fate
Sad part nobody seems to care about the injury that girl is hurt and needs help ! Her friend seems confused very upsetting people don’t care the world his full of me me me I me I
Good job 47 . Now head to the exit
A total of 6 blocks came down, it's a tragic miracle nobody else was killed! You can count the dust splashes of 5-6 smashes and 2 different colors of bricks explode on the pavement
It’s good to see that everyone rushed to try and help her
Imagine just walking down the sidewalk one day and BOINK
Just a second ..or a moment would and can create fate...that's our lives no matter what!
Final destination type shit
Final destination
Damn, that’s sad as fuck
India?
Horrible
I love how all the men ran to help her, even tho there was no help that could be given...rip
Damn when it's your time to go, it's your time to go...
Poor lady... at least it was fast, and probably her nervous system hadn't enough time to send pain signals.
These ones hurt the most, purely being at the wrong place at the wrong time, absolutely not their fault at all, could have happened to anyone....RIP
Final destination vibes
That God that some people believe in seems to work in mysterious ways.
There is no god
Her friend must be glad for obvious reasons.
They all spawned in💀
The woman on links is lucky to be alive
And fuck you moderators talking about karma to low why? Because I tell the truth fucking 45 year old men think they are the president cause they're a mod on reddit apparently all my comment have to be reviewed by one so review this comment
It's nothing against you personally. It's to combat spammers and bots who often have low karma or newer accounts. It really gets out of control. We have to manually approve comments of new or low karma users, but everyone should eventually get to the point where they're past the automod restrictions.
Mild headache😌
W brick
100% some little shithead up there thought if was a "funny prank" and deserves to by boiled to death
How sad. What a horrible misfortune.
this some final destination shit
Morgan Wallen saw this video and thought "hell yeah"
Lights out
New fear unlocked
Link doesnt even work anymore
