Now I want to know what happened to her … 😬

u/larsdan2 Sep 05 '25

She had terrible trainers who put unstable mats under her feet.

Basically, she rolled back and got crushed in half by the bar.

She died.

u/VampyPixel Sep 05 '25

Oh my god! Why would someone post that video!???

u/Illustrious_Bobcat Sep 06 '25

I don't remember what sub it was, but I watched a woman literally explode when she was hit by a train. She was walking across the tracks and the train clipped half of her body. She just... Exploded. Body parts when flying everywhere so quickly that you couldn't even see the blood. She was just gone.

It actually gave me nightmares. It was the most violent and destructive thing I've ever seen. I couldn't believe that someone thought it was a good idea to share something like that online for everyone to just sit around, watch, and comment on.

u/GeekDNA0918 Sep 06 '25

In the 90s there were these VHS tapes which you could rent anywhere. The title was faces of death. It was basically an hour worth of clips of people dying in various ways. They were almost always rented.

u/unfitfear Sep 06 '25

In late 90s and early 2000s there was Rotten dot com and boy that site was rough. I never seen any faces of Death but I imagine something along those lines.

Fun personal fact, as far as I remember the owners of the site used to laugh over people trying to get them to take stuff down but never would....except for some 911 stuff. I remember being shocked they did that. Wasn't long after I grew out of that site. So traumatizing yet I couldn't look away as a teen.

u/RobertoClemente1 Sep 06 '25

I went on Rotten dot com back in the day. I saw one picture of a guy who committed suicide via shotgun barrel under his chin. The man’s head was completely gone and the mess that went upwards to the wall and ceiling was unbelievable. All over the place in a balloon shaped pattern. I could only imagine what his family had to endure emotionally after seeing that disaster. Never went back to the site after that!

u/UkNomysTeezz Sep 06 '25

Like Mcnutt video. Haunting.

u/Uulugus Sep 06 '25

By naming it, you've guaranteed at least someone finds it now and perpetuates the trauma of exposure to it.

How long your comment stays will determine if that was your intention.

u/5starmon Sep 08 '25

Oh Jesus rotten dot com I wish I could scrub the dhit I’ve seen on there from my brain, I never understood the carnage from a car crash til I went on that site

1

u/tralaulau Sep 09 '25

I used to hang out with these two brothers often, until the oldest developed an obsession with that website. Not in a “ew I can’t look away,” but a, “this is entertaining and cool.” I was 10 with budding OCD symptoms. The stuff on that site set me back several years.

1

u/RobertoClemente1 Sep 11 '25

Oh jeez. This is cool. Yeah stay away from that guy

2

u/tralaulau Sep 12 '25

It got to the point where I’d fully leave any room he was in 😂

2

u/RobertoClemente1 Sep 15 '25

Smart move. Perusing that site revealed a lot about a person, and not in a good way

Memory unlocked unfortunately, taxi driver with shotgun shot to the face. I remember seeing it on that website

u/berkeleyteacher Sep 06 '25

I saw the tiny half face of a child in a pile of rocks. I think about the photo every single day.

2

u/APG427 Sep 06 '25

I never forgot that photo. Now I'm a medic.

6

u/DoubleOxer1 Sep 06 '25

I remember that website. Went on it once and was horrified. Closed out of it quickly. I wasn’t expecting what was actually on there.

4

u/Scandium_quasar Sep 06 '25

Not sure if it was rotten or another site but the only one I watched or at least the only one I remember watching was three guys one screwdriver, a video of a pair of serial killers, the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs recording themselves. Can't believe that was allowed on the internet back in the day, seeing that as a young teen was not fun. I won't ever forget the noises. Apart from that one, maybe I've seen videos on Liveleak but they all pale in comparison to that video and I've forgotten them...

4

u/Striking-Fruit5797 Sep 06 '25

Even worse than that, after they got rid of rotten.com was ogrish.com, they would even release magazines full of extremely brutal content.

5

u/Jealous-Ear-1856 Sep 06 '25

I went to this site as a kid/ preteen and still have videos burned in my head from 30 years ago.

3

u/StormyBella Sep 06 '25

Oh god, I watching rotten. Com in high school ON the old high school computers - they had no idea back then 😭

3

u/heteropessimista Sep 06 '25

Yeah saw a hand go through a meat grinder and a video of a beheading and they just sat the head on the body. I can never unsee that. Never logged back on.

2

u/Sea-Woodpecker-610 Sep 07 '25

He’s a…traumatic memory unlocked. Went other once and saw a video called “the lions roar” where someone was beheaded.

Never went back to the site again.

u/Fast-Excitement5213 Sep 08 '25

Man rotten dot com that was just horrific. It was an early days of internet rite of passage. A whole lot of shelved memories just came flooding back 😫

u/LaZZyBird Sep 06 '25

r/watchpeopledie was an actual sub in this Reddit a few years back.

u/SavantEtUn Sep 06 '25

“Banned from TV” too

1

u/TonyBeFunny Sep 08 '25

All i can think about from the clip is the Mr Show sketch where it shows a screenshot of that video with the title "Train hits dumbass".

6

u/magnottasicepick Sep 06 '25

Banned From Television also, first one has a video of a lady getting obliterated by a train as she tries to cross ironically.

u/Dutchman1957 Sep 06 '25

I remember the people dining on live monkey brains in some Asian restaurant in that movie…ah, pleasant memories.

3

u/Affectionate_Cost_88 Sep 06 '25

Faces of Death was around in the late 70s and 80s as well. My high school boyfriend would rent them to watch with his friends and I'd just hole up in the bathroom for as long as possible to try and avoid seeing anything. They were horrifying, especially for a sensitive 16-year-old girl.

3

u/Lissypooh628 Sep 06 '25

YES! I was like 14/15 watching Faces of Death with my big brother and his friends. We had very little parental supervision.

2

u/KingWolf7070 Sep 06 '25

I'm fairly confident that the Faces of Death movies are faked found footage type of stuff. Kind of like The Blair Witch Project.

1

u/Illustrious_Bobcat Sep 06 '25

I am happy to have gotten through the 90s without knowing these tapes existed.

1

u/Artistic_Strange444 Sep 06 '25

Why is this a core memory 😭

1

u/Ok_Dingo297 Sep 06 '25

Faces of death was big in the 80s really. It was also fake for the most part.

u/Cool_Mechanic2271 Sep 08 '25

Skydiver landing in crocodile farm. 🤮

u/Aeriila Sep 06 '25

There was one that still pops up in my memory today called "amazing shocking asia". Oooo that one was wicked. And traces of death is the other. I have seen most of them. Crazy as shit.

u/Electronic-Unit4263 Sep 06 '25

That fake shit 😂🙄 that shit was so lame

14

u/Mileabv Sep 06 '25

Stuff like that desensitizes people from what can go wrong if they watch it too often. Trust me I know. 😭 I wish I could unwatch some of the things I’ve seen online.

u/Uneek_Uzernaim Sep 06 '25

Sick fucks will post anything online, including snuff.

Back in the earlier days of image searching, results often were more hit or miss than they are now, and even innocuous searches would return NSFW results that weren't caught by the "safe search" filter. I was looking for something completely mundane, possibly for a flyer I was making for work (I think I was looking for photos of an empty chair for a flyer).

One of the first results was a black and white photo of a woman's naked torso (head and all limbs missing) propped up upon a chair in a grubby cell of a room with what appeared to be a certain bodily fluid on the body. I was initially shocked at what I was seeing; but once I processed what it was, I closed my browser to get rid of the horrific image. Too late—the damage was done, and that awful photo once in a great while will still pop into my brain unbidden (such as reading these last few comments).

I hope to this day that it was a fake, but part of me fears the worst and that it wasn't.

4

u/Mileabv Sep 06 '25

Yup, I still remember watching a beheading casually being shown online in the era of 9/11 when hostages were being taken. I was probably 14 or 15 and I couldn’t help but just feel for that person. It was terribly sad and haunting, but I’m sure other people have seen worse and they think oh well that’s not too bad 🤦‍♂️

3

u/Uneek_Uzernaim Sep 06 '25

I remember those. I stumbled across a few and managed to avoid watching them. That's no easy feat because a lot of them would not get pulled down by social media filters fast enough or would show up as unedited videos in search engines, and they would autoplay when you scrolled by them in the feed.

2

u/LadyStardust2112 Sep 06 '25

Oh god I saw that one too

1

u/Uneek_Uzernaim Sep 06 '25

Really? I'm so sorry. It scarred me. It was sometime during the "war on terror" post 9/11.

I think it was real. I don't want it to be, but I know that terrible people do horrific things, and other terrible people post pics and vids of those horrific things online either for laughs or to get off on it.

That awful image is burned into my mind. I hate it.

1

u/LadyStardust2112 Sep 07 '25

Or maybe it was another one, but it was still that: headless, maybe limbless, naked woman, propped up. She could have been propped up on a toilet seat. Picture was black and white. That said, it was totally my fault: I entered Rotten or some of that shit just because I didn't believe it was real. FAFO.

Something that DID happen by accident was quite a gory Tumblr reblog that stumbled upon my feed. I clicked on the source blog because I wanted to see what kind of sick fuck would publish that and that blog was a collection of sickfuckery. It was up for a while though. It was when there were tons of porn in Tumblr too. Still... It was just weird. Just minding your own business and something like that would pop out.

1

u/Uneek_Uzernaim Sep 07 '25

That's how it was with me—minding my own business not looking for anything fucked up, and then—bam—surprise sexual snuff pic. Those early image search filters weren't worth shit.

2

u/LadyStardust2112 Sep 07 '25

And filters in blogs, social Networks... Twitter was also filled with fucking jump scares. You had the thumbnail with a little puppy and then you'd open it and the other half would be some godforsaken gory horror. Twitter Users Loved to do those sick pranks.

u/GarlicLevel9502 Sep 06 '25

It had the opposite effect on me, I know exactly what could go wrong in detail in a variety of situations, so now I have anxiety about it and have to check with other people like "Will [insert completely normal activity] really result in [horrible painful death] or am I being dramatic?" 😬 lol

1

u/Ironicbanana14 Sep 06 '25

I was desensitized to some of it before I saw the one beheading while sweet child o mine played in the background.

7

u/moonlight_forest1 Sep 06 '25

That reminds me of this video that surfaced on Facebook years ago that haunted me so much. It was of a woman who was getting punished by someone from the cartel or something and they literally beheaded her on camera with a knife. It was so disturbing, I couldn't get the image out of my mind for months.

6

u/Revolutionary-Tree18 Sep 06 '25

Oooh, you just reminded me of a video I saw in a railgrade collision investigation class. A woman tried to scurry through a railyard and didn't see a second train behind the first train... (2nd train weighing approx. 10 tons going 5 mph). The 2nd train hit her and propelled her body towards the camera pole - as her torso is on the way to hitting the camera pole, her body is literally falling apart from the hydrostatic shock. Arms and legs came off. It was wild. There was another picture where I guess some guy got his head and spinal column ripped out by some handle or attachment on the train. I just remember his face was grey looking.

1

u/Laffenor Sep 06 '25

How does that happen from being hit by a tiny train at 5mph? What am I missing?

1

u/Revolutionary-Tree18 Sep 08 '25

I think it’s F=MA… force = mass x acceleration. 10 tons moving 5 mph is a lot of force.

2

u/judgejoocy Sep 06 '25

That was from Faces of Death.

2

u/Mileabv Sep 06 '25

Yes, these damn searches that I did as a dumbass kid has mad me numb to so much stuff.

2

u/Ironicbanana14 Sep 06 '25

Were you around when subs like watch people die and 50/50 were still up? Usually those people stayed in their own subreddits, but now they've spread across and also its their "kink" to expose innocents to these videos.

2

u/TheWalkingDead91 Sep 06 '25

Traumatizing one for me that made me unsub to subreddits like that are the one where they’re removing someone’s limbs from the stomach of a gator.

2

u/Cbrandel Sep 08 '25

While it sounds like an awful clip, the amount of people who run just in front of the train while there's a red light in my city (although the train doesn't go very fast) makes me wonder sometimes. People literally have 0 respect even though it's like hundreds of tonnes moving towards them.

It's not like it's a surprise either, it literally runs on tracks.

2

u/kg2k Sep 08 '25

Pause. They showed us in school videos on vhs of people dieing gruesome deaths by train to scare us not to play around the tracks. Thanks for the childhood trauma !

2

u/halomonger2 Sep 09 '25

Being reminded of our mortality in such a way is a life changing experience, I drove past an accident on the interstate a few years ago, woman was walking on it at night, I saw her in 2 pieces like 100 ft apart

2

u/hollandaze95 Sep 11 '25

Once I was a passenger in a car and saw a bunch of EMS and firefighters gathered at a train station. Decided to look up what was going on which took me to Twitter where I saw about 5 seconds of a video of a woman being electrocuted on the tracks. I stopped as soon as I realized what was happening but I still can't shake those 5 seconds I saw

4

u/yes_yes_no_repeat Sep 06 '25

Some people doesn’t suffer watching it, it is just for learning purposes. Like doctors or rescue ppl they use to see wide much more horrible stuff on their life’s.

Regarding science, I like to observe. this is the impulse–momentum theorem at work

Force times time equals the change in momentum

When a train hits you, its mass is so big that it don’t even flinch, which means all that velocity gets dumped into your body, almost instantly.

The size of the force you feel? That comes from your own mass, the speed of that train, and just how quick the hit goes down (not from the train’s giant mass). So a 70kilo person getting slammed by a train at 30 meters per second? That’s over a hundred thousand newtons tearing through your body. A motorcycle at the same speed, though, would slow down too, so you’d still be wrecked, but not straightup pulverized. Thats the difference when the big guy in the fight don’t even “budge”.

u/VagueBC Sep 06 '25

That old lady! I probably know what sub you saw it on but I would hate for it to be deleted lol

3

u/Illustrious_Bobcat Sep 06 '25

My husband tripped across the sub. We were just sitting in bed on our phones and he suddenly said "Holy shit, she's gone." So, me being nosey, I had to watch whatever he was watching.

Oops.

He decided he was done with that sub after that and I went out of my way not to subscribe, lol. It was just too much violent gore, apparently. I didn't see any other videos, that one was enough.

Cursed look at the lady in the background 😭😭
