GWSmith Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: BAD,BAD,BAD NIGHT! [ QUOTE ] Very sad. However, please know that the work you do is very much appreciated. [/ QUOTE ] I recently looked at the photos of my truck that I was cut out of by the rescue squad this last winter. I could not get out on my own...believe me I tried. My left shoulder and side was laying in snow and icy water. When I think about the crash I can still feel the hands of the rescue person who held and supported my neck straight after breaking through the rear window...he was the first to get to the crash. Muff, If not for the people like you who do your kind of work....I would not be here. I cant thank you, and others like you, with enough heartfelt gratitude for your dedication. You do what you can...That says alot about you as a person!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: BAD,BAD,BAD NIGHT! Hey buddy, whether these people live or die rests with God...not you. So don't sweat it. However, when you do get a chance to be a part of saving people's lives, remember those nights. Sorry it was a bad one....regardless of who is in control it must be hard to see it. Thanks for all you do, New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasksheds Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: BAD,BAD,BAD NIGHT! Thanx for being one of the few that can handle that job.I just heard on the radio that there was a bad one here last night.A car load of teenagers head on into a truck.3 dead,3 in hospital.WHY??? In British Columbia a "New Driver" can only have 1 other person other than a family member in the vehicle whith them while driving.This law was brought in I believe to keep them from filling the car full of kids & having a party on wheeles.I wish they had that law here.a couple of those kids might be alive & in school this morning.I feel for the families.God bless.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Re: BAD,BAD,BAD NIGHT! God bless you Muff for being able to do a job like that. It takes a special person to be able to do that each day of his life, you never know what the call will be but the outcome can be alot like you witnessed last night. I came across an accident like that years ago, 2 teens were dead and 1 hurt very bad. To know a son and daughter will not be going home that night makes you realize how precious life is. I miss that accident by a matter of minutes as I could have been in it. Car missed a stop sign and went airborne throwing the victims from it. Scary scene that was for sure. Life brought on a whole new meaning when you see stuff like that. God bless you Muff and if you ever need to talk just send me a PM buddy!!

Shaun_300 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Re: BAD,BAD,BAD NIGHT! Wow, very sad night. two of my friends, 18 and 19 were killed in the past two weeks, both were car accidents, the 19 year old was in the car with a drunk driver, and my other friend pulled out onto the Trans-Canada highway, he didnt see the truck coming, and got T-boned.
