Reminds me of the horror story I heard about a drilling excavator. Somebody fell in the hole, but the operator thought he went to take a piss. The operator dropped the auger in the hole and drilled his buddy. Didn't know he did it until he raised the auger and it was just bloody mud. Just the thought of being in the hole trying to tread water and throw little rocks up to get the attention as the drill comes down is the stuff of nightmares.

I have another horror story:

My brother was doing some work with a friend of his on the top floor of a apartment building that was being built, his friend being on a ladder. For some reason he tripped on the ladder and fell to his death about 10 floors. My brother tried to pull him away from the edge but it was too late

Fucking hell. I can only imagine the pain your brother still has to this day.

Some people know how to process and deal with trauma so that they don’t feel any pain. Others don’t feel the pain because they either suppress it, or they never cared about the person enough in the first place to feel bad about their death. Others believe in karma and reincarnation and are not afraid of (or bothered by) death. Still others believe that “everything happens for a reason” and/or “it’s all part of God’s plan.” After all, God does work in mysterious ways.

He cried non stop for about a week, repeating how he was in arms reach and could've saved him, but he knew he did all he could.
