how fragile life is............
i need to take a couple days off the forum.
two of my friends were severly injured in a car crash.
the driver is in a coma with no definite answer as wether he is going to regain conciousness........ at all. both of his legs are shattered completely and there are doubts that he will make it to the next day.. much less even talk. his brain is swollen, and his face is almost shattered.
the passenger was ejected (wearing a seatbelt) both of his ankles are shattered, he is badly bruised. as it stands right now, he has no memory. he can't speak, remeber his name, parents, anything. he's back to square one.
the car had to be taken to the impound lot on two separate tow trucks.
in three years of fire dept work i have seen some fucked up shit...... but this hits real close to home.
shit's real fucked up right now, and i need a little but of time to sort my shit, mentally.
i have asked the megas and admins to keep wach over 1st gen while im gone for a lil'. although you people know how to behave.

Bogdan and Patrick,
I'm really sorry to hear about your friends!
Patrick: I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I too have had several friends die in car accidents over the years (usually driving while drunk). Take care of yourself!
Bogdan: Man, that really sucks! I'm really sorry to hear about the accident and the condition of your friends!
I hope that both of you will rely on the support of your family and friends to help through these tough times. We may be "tough", but I'm a believer in talking about how we're feeling.
Take care.

i went to the police lot today to look at the car. words cant describe it. you can hardly tell the car was a supra. there is no trunk anymore, the engine is almost in the drivers seat. it's sad to even think about it.
i'll try and post some pictures so you guys can see what 120mph and a tree can do to a car.
the car is at the Clopper Rd. MVA - in the impound lot. it's a Blue 95 Supra. if anyone wants to go look, you're more than welcome. its just something words cant really explain.

i am very sorry with so many accidents happening due to speeding it makes you think Going really fast gives you a 5 sec rush but is that 5 or more sec rush really worth dieing over or taking the chance of hitting someone else and killing them?

Bogdan, how are you holding up? I've thought about you today, and wonder if you're getting the support that you need. Take care of yourself, man.

I can't tell you how sorry I am.
Your right, life is very fragile, when something like this happens, giving and receiving support is the best thing you can do. And you definately have mine.

people have been supportive and calling to check up from time to time. thanks to all for your support. the condition of the driver and passenger is improving slightly, but still far from good.
edit: its the blue Toyota Supra in front of the office

Keep the faith
Three of my students were in a terrible accident just before Christmas. The Karman Ghia (sp?) they were in was totally destroyed, sounds much like the condition of the supra. One of them died at the scene and one of the other two was not expected to make it and the other was was never supposed to walk again. It is sad that I read this today because by heart is full because as of today I can look at my classroom and see both of those students in their desks. One with no obvious problems and one temporarily on crutches, but both alive and kicking. Miracles can and do happen!!!
Been there and I don't envy you, but you and your friends have my prayers and best wishes for speedy and full recoveries.

I'm praying for the healing of your friends... and for you and your emotional stability in this hard time. Life is definitly fragile and we so often take it for granted.
If you need to talk or just to "get out" for a while hit me up, I'm less than 15 min from you. I'll take you out to eat or something.
God bless you and your friends.
Peace,
Seth

Guys I'm really sorry to hear about the accidents. I went to Blue Valley High School in south KC and anyone around there knows the car crash curse that we have. I've lost 5-6 friends in wrecks in the last few years. My little cousin and his girl are seniors there this year and crashed in November. They were in a Jeep without belts on and went off an overpass into a valley. Sounds really similar to the condition of your friends 1Gen. For the first weeks, they both came close to death, but they pulled through and one is almost back to normal and the other is on his way. The first few days are the toughest, and I hope it gets better. Good luck and God bless.

I am very sorry to hear about your friends accident.
I was lucky myself a few months ago. I was driving doing about 70 maybe 80 and I went through a light that had just turned red. When I went through the intersection a car was turning into a parking lot and to avoid the car I swerved to the right slammed on the brakes, and ended up going through a 6 or 7 inch high curb not hopping it but plowing through it. I was lucky I had 2 passengers in my car 3 including me and the worst that happened was some air bag burn on my right arm it was hard to belive that was all that happened considering I did 9000 dollars worth of damage to the front end of my 1999 CL. At first I was more worried about my car I wasnt thinking then it hit me that someone could have died no one was wearing a seat belt in my car I cant remember if I was or not but I dont think so. So 9000 dollars of insurance money and my 250 dollar deductable later I got my car back in a month it really hits you when you get into an accident like that. I have so much more I can say but I dont want to.
I was very very lucky to have avoided the other car and that no one in my car got hurt but that infact we all walked away from the accident. I thought my car was totaled but they said they cant total my car it "only had $9000 dollars worth of damage" so I had them use all new parts nothing fixed or used I am just so glad no one was hurt and that I still have those 2 friends as friends I dont know what else to say but I am sorry to hear about your friends and I just hope that they pull through
The only thing left to say is hang in there and I hope your friends pull through.

Just an update.
I went to the MVA impound lot today around 11:30am, and they would not let me take pics! This time the woman was a total bitch, and would not tell me where the car was. Apparently they moved it.
Sorry; I tried!
BTW, I hope you're doing OK.
