So my a friend of mine works at a railroad plant that make the railcars . I was talking to him and he was telling us about a guy(awhile back) that got caught between two railcars as they clamped together. The guy was alive but almost out, and could still talk. The paramedics arrived and told him that he would die when the cars were seperated, so he actually had to call in his family and give his goodbyes before he died. So all his family came in and everyone gave their last goodbyes and he sure enough died after the cars were seperated. Man that is some sad ******.:(

What really breaks my heart is when people don't check Snopes.com

But here's a true story:
A friend of mine knew someone who died in their sleep because of what they dreamed! The guy was deathly afraid of spiders, and had a dream where he fell into a pit filled with them -- the shock and horror of the spiders crawling all over his body stopped his heart and he died.

And if the guy was dreaming when he dies, how do you know what he was dreaming about when he died? :confused:

Meh.

this is a true story

The state of Florida was on high alert today as an electronic voting machine that was being tested in advance of next Tuesday's midterm election went berserk and killed nine in a terrifying rampage.

The rogue machine, which Florida officials said was the state-of-the-art in touchscreen technology, was undergoing a routine test in Tallahassee when election workers observed that it was "behaving strangely."

After a worker conducting the test touched the machine's screen to register a vote for Democratic Senator Bill Nelson, the machine registered 20,000 votes for his Republican challenger, Katherine Harris, and then started spewing smoke and sparks.

BAHAHAHAHA

Are you laughing at me or the fact that the point was not logical?

This thread is starting to need a "Meh" response. :roll:

i agree with alton. these stories aren't true. they sound like urban legends/rumors and that's what they are.

technically the heart was squished, now wasn't it?;)



if this is indeed true, my apologies, but my sarcasm should be understandable given the proliferation of such similar tales...

Hurry! Someone forward this thread to everyone on their email list or bad things will happen to you! (Namely you'll receive urban legend spam from them)

Every profession that can have accidents has urban legends like this that are passed on to the new guys to give them a scare.
