before the video begins I'd like to
state a few things this video contains
some very disturbing and violent stories
coming from multiple emergency workers
such as police officers EMTs and
firefighters some of them only shared
one story wha their shared multiple
which is why some might seem connected
some of them are short stories while
others are longer I ask that you please
respect them in the comments as these
were very traumatic experiences for them
I hope that this video spreads awareness
on how hard their jobs are and some of
the things that they deal with if you
can't handle extremely gruesome stories
this may not be the video for you that
being said let's begin number one back
when I was a young military police
officer I got a call to a car accident
when I arrived I saw this black SUV
smashed almost completely flat on the
side of the road it had been hit by a
semi one of the first things I noticed
was a car seat in stuffed animals all
over the road my heart skipped a beat I
had just become a father myself and that
was all I could think about luckily the
driver of the SUV didn't have his kid in
the truck when he decided to drunkenly
run the red light both the semi driver
and the drunk survived but when the semi
hit the truck it's somehow knocked off
the hood of the SUV and it skipped in
rolled and found its way to a
motorcyclist three cars down from the
intersection and killed him instantly
his wife said he just got back from Iraq
and one of the first things he spent his
money on was a motorcycle and he was
just out enjoying an evening ride just
happy to be back home that's a horrible
thing finally getting home after months
and months of hardships just to be
killed by a drunk driver I always
considered myself one of the easygoing
police officers that let people off the
hook and just wrote warnings but after
that God forbid I catch a drunk driver
number two the worst one for me was an
attempted suicide not because of the
victim who had very superficial cuts to
her wrists found naked and was
extraordinarily intoxicated her nine
year old daughter though that was what
hurt she was sitting in her nightgown
huddled on the floor of the bathroom her
mom's blood all over the floor and her
nightgown the only thing she said was
she made me watch she said he was my
fault will she be okay that one still
hurts
number three got a call around 2:00 a.m.
for an unknown medical which is always a
kind of a thing for us as soon as we
pulled up all the cop had to say was
well I don't even know walked up to a
lady unconscious in front of her house
that had her face cut similar to the
Joker in her throat slit she was in her
pajamas no bag no ID no belongings at
all outside her door was locked and
there was a dog barking inside all the
lights were off no one knew what the
hell happened and no one seemed to know
any information about this lady no name
no age nothing she was alive when we got
to the hospital I hope she's all right
today but I often wonder who did that to
her and why number four the next five or
so stories are from the same person I
work the other side of the radio police
fire and EMS dispatcher and 911 ccall
take her for four years now
calls with kids are the worst after a
while most calls start to run together
in your head drunks domestic
disturbances drivers with road rage
issues but the calls with kids those
tend to stick with you there was this 12
year old girl whose father shot and
killed her mother attempted to kill her
than shot and killed himself
the kiddo covered in blood ran to a
neighbor's house for help where they
made her call 9-1-1 herself as they
didn't want to get involved
number five there was an unresponsive 18
month old boy called in as a drowning
that I couldn't get back turned out
daddy had killed him severe blunt-force
trauma to the head to this day I still
remember telling that son of a [ __ ]
that he'd done a good job listening to
my CPR directions while emergency
responders were on the way number six
there was a fatality car fire that
initially came in as a brush fire in a
field five calls in and passerby are now
saying it's a car on fire next caller
says there's a man on fire rolling
around on the ground outside the car
screaming for help we were on scene with
fire crews and medics in less than five
minutes vehicle was fully involved in
burning too hot to do anything but fight
to control the male was incoherent flown
via helicopter to a hospital once the
fire was out we found the remains of a
toddler girl still strapped in her car
seat that one stayed with all of us for
a while number seven there was a
beautiful 17 year old girl whose mother
left her home alone for the weekend
after a verbal altercation the mom knew
the daughter had a history of depression
and suicidal ideation and left her alone
to think about what she'd done the
daughter hung herself in the garage with
an extension cord
she used a metal garden arbor as her
anchoring point she was at least a day
dead and we had to pry her hands loose
from the sides of the Arbor where she
tried to pull herself back up after she
jumped the table behind her was covered
in scuff marks and footprints where
she'd almost managed to swing her legs
back up and under her again
it was profoundly sad
number eight there was a man trapped
inside a burning vehicle unable to get
out I wasn't the one to take that call
my coworker stayed on the line with him
while the guy burned to death because
there was nothing else to do other than
to be there with him my coworker was
able to keep it together while he was on
the phone as soon as the call
disconnected he vomited at his console
you never forget the screams a man makes
while burning to death it doesn't even
sound human I love my job I love my
co-workers and I love what I do but if
you don't learn early on how to leave
work at work how to not carry that [ __ ]
home with you you'll go crazy you won't
last
most people who make it as a first
responder end up with a terrifically
bleak and warped sense of humor there's
a reason for that
number nine Christmas Eve I respond with
fire and EMS to a full arrest
it was called in as a witnessed collapse
she was in her 50s we work her for 15 or
20 minutes and rush her to the ER we
later find out that she had been dead
for hours her father had been the one to
call he had Alzheimer's and had seen her
fall and forgot about it for a few hours
so not only did this man's daughter and
caregiver die on Christmas Eve but he
had witnessed the whole thing it's
horrible to think that he may have
discovered her multiple times numbered
10 I'm an EMT and had a call for a
pedestrian hit by a car on a rural road
we haul ass over there and find a 12
year old female in the road with her dad
standing over her she was riding her
bicycle in her driveway with her whole
family out in the lawn she rode into the
road and was immediately hit by an older
man driving a large old Cadillac the car
was driving at 55 or 60 miles per hour
and because of the bicycle this girl
hits the windshield but her head hits
the passenger side column the girl
doesn't die on impact and is instead
bleeding out through a large piece of
her skull that has been half caved in
the girl can't talk but she's blinking
and making sounds her dad who had been
drinking for the better part of the day
sees the whole thing he immediately runs
out into the road and starts doing the
only thing he's ever seen from TV CPR
thanks to his woefully drunk version of
CPR
he not only crushes her ribs in lungs
but effectively helps her bleed out
faster to make things worse I have a
brand new paramedic with me who has
never seen anything like this almost as
soon as we arrived this girl has no
pulse and blood is everywhere a
volunteer firefighter showed up on scene
and is trying to pull the dad off the
girl the dad and the firefighter get in
a full-on fight we get there assess her
and try to control the bleeding but
she's gone no pulse
massive trauma no lung sounds head caved
in laying in a pool of blood bigger than
she is her whole body is just broken
another EMS unit shows up and it takes
me and the other crew to pull my partner
away from the girl who is gray as soon
as we pull him away
the father begins screaming about losing
his little girl and runs into his house
the older man in the caddy realizing
she's dead
begins yelling things like oh my god
I've killed a little girl then things
get worse the old man in the Caddy who
hit her falls down on the pavement and
has a massive heart attack he dies an
hour later meanwhile dad is inside the
house drinking some kind of whiskey as
fast as he can before coming back out
bottle in hand completely out of his
mind and attacking things in his yard
the girl wasn't an only child she was
the second youngest of six and all of
them were outside watching all of this
go down other units arrive on scene
we end up transporting the dad the
driver of the caddy and the volunteer
firefighter who sustained injuries from
holding back the dad I now go out of my
way to avoid that stretch of road my
partner quit a week later
number 11 another notable call was what
was called in as an attempted suicide a
few years back
a literal bloodbath according to the
husband his wife locked herself in the
bathroom with a knife and tried to kill
herself he said he was unable to open
the door to help or stop her we got
there door was unlocked
lady had her throat cut open and both
wrists were severely cut I don't believe
for one second that this woman did this
to herself
not for a second I don't believe
anything ever came of it and I have no
clue what happened to the woman number
12 this one isn't really creepy or scary
but I think it's pretty cool and worth
sharing anyway we had a CPR job for a
man in his 50s we got a pulse back on
the way to the hospital but usually we
don't hear anything about the patient
after that I attended a funeral for
someone unrelated to this patient about
a year ago and I saw the guy that was
dead on my ambulance just hanging out
standing right next to me it was
definitely a what-the-fuck moment but it
was really cool to see him alive
number thirteen I've seen some pretty
gruesome murders and accidents saw woman
stabbed over 50 times a guy whose head
was completely caved in by his steering
wheel and plenty of suicides via shotgun
to the mouth the one that stands out to
me the most wasn't fatal and it wasn't
even that gruesome basically some guy
got high on PCP and thought everyone was
a demon an older woman in her early 60s
was driving by and he decided to fight
her pulled her out of her car and
pummeled her face knocked her teeth out
bruised her face and gave her brain
damage
she was conscious throughout the entire
ordeal and I was the first on scene we
had to fight the guy for a good 3
minutes until we got him into custody he
was a big guy and got roughed up pretty
good but he was feeling no pain at all
my taser had absolutely no effect
we only got him into cuffs when six
officers held him down and pulled his
arms into place he then proceeded to
spit blood on us this whole thing
shocked me because this lady was just
minding her own business when this
[ __ ] decided to ruin her life it was
random and unprovoked and if I'm not
mistaken she had to quit her job due to
memory issues from the brain injury
number 14 my friend's dad is a cop and
he once told me this story keep in mind
this was during a really bad ice storm a
few years ago and in the country about a
good 15 or 20 minutes from a town and it
wasn't a very busy road I got a call
from a woman saying she hadn't talked to
her mom in a few days which was weird
since they talked every day I went to go
check on her and drove up to the address
and saw a truck sitting in gate I got
out and walked up I didn't see anything
in or around the truck and decided to
walk past that's when I saw an old lady
was by the mailbox she fell into a
puddle and had literally frozen over
Fire Department had to come to basically
burn her out I then decided to walk up
to the house after calling in what
happened
and the door was slightly open and I
walked in and announced myself no answer
I walked around and her husband had died
staring out the window at her he was
handicapped in in a wheelchair he didn't
have any power in the house for a week
and didn't have a cell phone
he died watching his wife freeze to
death
number 15 my grandfather was a fireman
for the local Air National Guard he knew
a few of the pilots and became pretty
good friends with one of them one day
he's on duty and they get a call about
one of the Jets a f4 or f100 at the time
I believe with an engine problem the
plane was circling the airport trying to
get a safe approach long story short he
ended up crashing in as you can imagine
jet crashes rarely and well the fire
squad arrived on the airfield to a
pretty large debris field
nothing was identifiable but my
grandfather knew his friend was in the
plane so he started searching
frantically eventually he found a gray
round object in some rubble far from the
crash he picked it up only to realize it
was his friend's helmet knowing this was
not a good sign he slowly turned it
around and saw that his friend's head
was still inside the helmet no body
anywhere to be found just his head in
his helmet about 100 yards from the
crash site one would think that this
would turn you away from firefighting
but he had it in his blood he went on to
be captain of a local fire department
where he witnessed a lot of other things
including a woman who had committed
suicide by lighting herself on fire
children drowned in pools his best
friend / neighbor cutting his brachial
artery with a chainsaw and performing
CPR for 30 minutes on that same neighbor
while waiting for an ambulance to come
after the young neighbor boy who came
over crying because he couldn't wake his
dad up there are ton more that I can't
even remember right now through all of
this he said there was one thing that
kept him going and that was the one day
where he had the opposite of a horror
call
instead it was a woman in labor very in
labor they weren't going to make it to
the hospital in time so my grandfather
ended up delivering the baby in the back
of his ambulance this he said made his
30 plus year career all worth it
