Ten years ago: Despite past differences, President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton began a summer fundraising blitz with an event in McLean, Virginia.

Ten years ago:... An out-of-control SUV plunged more than 50 feet off the side of a New York City highway overpass and landed on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo, killing all seven people aboard, including three children.
I do not recall this story. Wow, that's crazy.

Accidents happen every day but that seems especially grewsome.
Having been through a couple of car accidents and a fall, I know that there's never a sense of terror or horror. There's just a sense of confusion intermingled with the realization that something has gone wrong until everything stops moving. So it's not like they spent their final moments pondering a gruesome demise. But it still elicits some primal sense of horror.

That's a very interesting perspective. Happy to say that I have not experienced it. Knock on wood that I shouldn't either.

Well, I don't recommend it.
My fall was "only" nine feet. It could easily have killed me, but for the grace of God or sheer dumb luck. As it was, it just badly broke my leg.
But it was in the dark, and I had no visual clues as to what was happening. So as it began to happen, tachypsychia set in and time seemed to dilate. It felt like it took longer than the second or two required to fall nine feet, but again, at the time I didnt know what was happening and had no frame of reference. I remember thinking it was some sort of cave-in or sinkhole and I was trying to figure out how to keep from being buried and suffocating. There was time to wonder if I was going to die, but never really time for panic or a flood of adrenaline. Then everything stopped moving and I realized I was lying in a concrete trench and could see the sky. At that point it became a question of how badly I was injured. My left leg hurt at the ankle, which struck me as a good sign that I wasn't paralyzed. And I could say "Fuck!" out loud which was a positive indicator that cognition wasn't badly impaired. I could communicate with my friend Keith, which was also a good sign, and a sign that I wasn't in some sort of afterlife. That thought made me laugh, which was another positive sign. So then I commenced a head to toe self-check, and determined that my leg was likely broken.
There you go - the anatomy of a traumatic accident.
