I think that many people might simply skip over an article like this.  And for those people I truly don’t blame you.  This isn’t an article to simply entertain people.   It’s also kind of like a wake up call.   While we see death in movies and these deaths don’t phase us, it’s not often we see a real death that is captured on camera.

And when we do it’s something that shocks and scares us.   But sometimes these feeling are necessary to prevent further accidents and situations like these from occurring.

These videos are clearly not for the faint of heart and again, understandable if you don’t want to watch them….

Thanks to Listverse for these clips…

A Wedding Disaster in Versailles

In May of 2001, 23 people were killed in a horrible building destruction on the eve of a wedding.   It’s both shocking and tragic that this was caught on film.   Out of nowhere a portion of the floor gives way and the rest followed.   The inventor of the building was actually arrested and the owners of the hall were convicted of causing human death by negligence.

Ramstein Air Show Crash

In 1988 a terrible plane crash caused 70 casualties in West Germany.  Over 300,000 people attended the air show.  The entire incident took less than 7 seconds, leaving no time for people in the crowd to run away from the flying jet parts.

The Station Nightclub Fire

The fire started about 11:08 PM, Thursday, February 20, 2003, just seconds into headlining band Great White’s first song. This fire was the fourth-deadliest nightclub fire in U.S. history, killing 100 people and injuring more than 200. Ninety-six perished on the night of the fire, and four died later from their injuries at local hospitals.

The Death of JFK

I don’t really think we need much explanation here.   All of us know about this clip and it’s extremely difficult to watch.

9-11 World trade Center Collapse

I think everyone had their own reactions to this.  I’ll never forget watching this event happen.   Truth be told, I worked in that building until I quit my full time job about a month prior to the terrorist attacks.   I remember not even reacting that strongly.   I think I like many people was simply in shock and didn’t even process the fact that people were dying, screaming, running, and in a horrific situation.  People would never and should never forget this.

The Great Japan Earthquake

As survivors of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami grappled with the enormity of the devastation, more footage emerged showing the moment the tsunami struck Japan’s northeast coast.  Residents of the port town of Kamaishi in Iwate prefecture watched in horror as the first huge tsunami waves hit, sweeping away cars and buildings.
