I was looking out the window one day and I saw a truck drive onto the sidewalk killing four adults and one child. I was about 9 years old. My friends and I went out to the scene of the accident to look at the blood stain that was left by one woman as she flew over the bridge railing and onto the stairs that led underneath.
Not actually violent, but the only time I actually saw somebody get killed. Burned in my memory forever.
The woman screamed.
