I was driving down the block and stopped at a 4 way light. It is a very busy intersection and as I was waiting at the light I looked down for a minute and heard a HUGE bang. I looked up and saw a car flipping over. I cannot imagine that anyone would make it out alive but I don’t think that anyone died either because cars do tip and ppl make it out alive.
April 4, 2011 8:26 pm at 8:26 pm #757102HAKOL TOVMembernothing in this world happens for nothing!
if hashem make you be there at that moment that hte car flipped he did so for a reason!
to wake you up!
April 4, 2011 8:30 pm at 8:30 pm #757103popa_bar_abbaParticipantWow. That is pretty close.
April 4, 2011 8:31 pm at 8:31 pm #757104amamaParticipantwow, that sight is certainly something that can shake one up, but go take care of yourself, go relax for a few minutes, doing whatever you like to do.
April 4, 2011 8:53 pm at 8:53 pm #757105aries2756Participantadorable, are you ok? are you home alone? Maybe you shouldn’t be alone right now. What you saw is very traumatic and when you witness something like that it usually it is better to be around other people and not try to digest it alone. The whole thing can feel very surreal and being around people helps to ground you and allows you to talk it out of your system.
April 4, 2011 8:55 pm at 8:55 pm #757106truth be toldMemberWow. It must be quite frightening and unnerving.

Thank Hashem

April 4, 2011 9:02 pm at 9:02 pm #757109real-briskerMemberaries – What do you think she is doing here?
April 4, 2011 9:19 pm at 9:19 pm #757110adorableParticipantaries- I was on the way back to work after an appointment and had to come straight here…. I am alone in the office now and dont think I can get any work done! Thank goodness its almost the end of the day! I wish i wold have stayed a little longer and watched them get the guy out but I had to run…. Very scary to watch but I think I have to learn to drive more carefully! I am definitely going to be working on that now!
April 4, 2011 9:49 pm at 9:49 pm #757111always hereParticipantwe’re here for you adorable~ talk it out here as much as you need to. …hoping to hear that you’re calm soon.
April 4, 2011 9:57 pm at 9:57 pm #757112GumBallMemberwhy dya need 2 work on ur driving cuz that man dosent know how 2 drive?? LOL
April 4, 2011 10:36 pm at 10:36 pm #757113aries2756ParticipantAdorable, of course something like that will make you more cautious and it is always a good thing to be cautious and not to take anything for granted. There are some crazy drivers out there and sometimes accidents happen to good drivers because of animals that run across the road, or things that fall off of moving vehicles and sometimes because of glare. It must have been really unnerving being alone int he office when you really need to feel another human presence and probably could have used a hug. Human touch is very comforting and can be very soothing and helpful to calm down especially when you have the shakes after a trauma.
WE need to assume that the driver was wearing seat-belts and therefore there was a good outcome. We have heard of such outcomes in the past and seat belts saving lives, so please assume that it was the case in this instance and that even though there could have been some broken bones and bruising, or they could have walked out without a scratch, that the seat belts and air bags did their job and it was just a huge scare for everyone.
April 4, 2011 10:53 pm at 10:53 pm #757114always hereParticipantGumBall~ sorry, but: serious accident does not equal LOL :/

April 5, 2011 12:13 am at 12:13 am #757118aries2756ParticipantYou know how to write on the YWN but not google Life Coach? Come on your pulling my leg.
April 5, 2011 1:18 am at 1:18 am #757119smileyface136MemberI’m thinking……. maybe there should be an age requirement for the CR.
April 5, 2011 1:25 am at 1:25 am #757120Climbing mountainsMemberI was there too (after the fact) and was so shaken up. I kept checking news websites because I was hoping to hear that everyone is okay. I really hope they are! Just a reminder not to take anything or anyone for granted because Hashem can turn things over from one minute to the next.
April 5, 2011 2:49 am at 2:49 am #757122always hereParticipantsmileyface136~ I agree. as I’ve said in the past, there should also be a cocoa room 🙂
April 5, 2011 3:33 am at 3:33 am #757123ZeesKiteParticipantsmileyface136: Too bad! Mommy lets me (for another few minutes.. time out, I had to look for the ‘!’ key).
April 5, 2011 3:59 am at 3:59 am #757124observanteenMemberSmiley: Do you mean sechel, or the amount years?;)
April 5, 2011 1:53 pm at 1:53 pm #757125adorableParticipantThank you everyone out there for your support! I came home and went to bed but I am still shaking when I think about it! I have seen accidents happen close up before but here I watched the car tip and I saw everyone just standing there for about 5 minutes not sure what to do while there might have been someone under there dying! I think everyone was shaking and not sure what the right thing is to do.
LuvMe- yes that is where the accident happened! Do you have any details?
April 5, 2011 3:36 pm at 3:36 pm #757126aries2756ParticipantNo news is good news. If there were fatalities you would have heard about it.

April 5, 2011 6:10 pm at 6:10 pm #757132adorableParticipantwow thank you for the pictures they are amazing that is what i saw! i was not texting but i thought about that before you even said it!
April 5, 2011 6:35 pm at 6:35 pm #757133HealthParticipantI guess consider yourself lucky that it still affects you. I’ve been numb since childhood. No, it’s not my career choice or too much TV, just when I was a kid I was exposed to -too much stuff in the street, like a neighbor (goy) chasing his girlfriend around the car pumping bullets into her.
April 5, 2011 7:06 pm at 7:06 pm #757134am yisrael chaiParticipantHealth, that’s a real tough one. I can see you are very intelligent, so I’m sure you know that you need to make sure that the experience doesn’t turn into PTSD. Numbness is a great coping skill for a kid at the time of such extreme violence that unfortunately you had to witness, but it doesn’t serve people well as adults. One cannot feel much pleasure either when numb. Just as it’s not unusual for people who have neuropathy in their extremities to have the numbed area pierced w/ needles, etc., by doctors during testing…so too the numb person will unconsciously stick “needles” in situations to cause hurt so he/she could feel…
I had an experience as a young kid where I saw 2 neighbors in front of my house in such a fight over a parking spot (I use the word “adults” loosely)that one of them died on the spot (no pun intended). I remember how that was so difficult to see, but yours is way more violent.
We feel for you.
April 5, 2011 7:13 pm at 7:13 pm #757135adorableParticipantHealth- I have a cousin (very distant but still a cousin) who shot himself in the leg once because of soemthing dumb like that….. I cannot imagine how are you dealt with that stress as a child!
April 5, 2011 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #757136mytakeMemberWell I don’t live far from Corner 59 & 306…
April 5, 2011 8:34 pm at 8:34 pm #757137adorableParticipantwhere do you live and who are you? I dont either so I prob know who you are! that would be cute

April 7, 2011 10:11 pm at 10:11 pm #757148oomisParticipantI just saw Adorable’s post now. Are you doing better today? It is really scary to witness an accident, but B”H it is over, and you are OK. I hope the driver and/or passengers are likewise OK.
April 8, 2011 2:18 pm at 2:18 pm #757149adorableParticipantOomis- thank you for your post. I am feeling much better about it today and just daven that such things should never happen to anyone in our nation again!
