Accidents

There was a terrible accident on I-96 today; I saw it on my way to Livonia for hockey. Police blocked Detroit bound traffic, and as Steve and I got onto northbound 275, we saw this black car had been flattened... crushed... and there was a semi on its side on the other side of the highway. There was debris everywhere. But the police and firemen were tearing the roof of the black car off. And the ambulance bed had an empty body bag on it...

What is it about death that has the power to fascinate and horrify us at once? I didn't know anyone in that accident. But someone's life just came to an end when a semi rolled over on it. Someone's family got a call that there was a terrible accident. If they had stopped for coffee, or breaked, or overslept, they'd still be alive. It bothers me to think about it. That at any second you might be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the world comes to a screeching halt. Times like this makes me realize how important faith is.

Sorry for the morbidness.
