Subject: Fw: Tragic accident photo from Germany /Holland


Gut Wrenching.

A friend sent this photo of a horrible highway accident in Germany.
The picture may be kind of hard to take for some of you.

If you look closely you can see what appears to be some survivors of
the accident still in the wreckage. Although the picture is quite
graphic, it makes you realize how quickly our loved ones can be taken
from us.

My friend stayed on the scene to help and even though he performed
mouth to mouth on quite a few of them, none apparently survived.

Please open with discretion ...

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

Looks like the picture was too much for the server to bear.

I just re-tried it and it's ok.

Hmm...I'm at a loss.

Is this the wrecked beer truck with Grolsch bottles everywhere?

So sad. Must have been like movies I remember seeing in my driver's education class. My prayers go out to the family and fronds of the victims.

"Corn!"

It always causes me a slight smile and is probably the same kind of small, fleeting feeling one might get visiting his home and seeing him there. No great relationship or anything, but it sits gentle in the back of the mind.

And I hope by voicing my appreciation I haven't done anything to prompt any changes. None are needed.

It is perfect as it is.

Thanks.

Actually, the original site was hampsterdance.com, which was then purchased by some company and they changed the hampsters and the song. Check it out, it's still there.

The one linked above (webhampster.com) is a new URL but with the original hampsters and song.

I can believe they still renew the domain, it still makes me laugh (or at least smile) whenever I see it again. Considering the low rates that some web domain registrars charge, it can't be that much money.
