Several 123 Coupes. A very nice 88,560,SEC,AMG EURO. An 89 Lamborghini Countach Anniversary Edition
I can't access, all of the pics for some reason. Can you email the rest to me? I'm used to carnage, and dead humans don't bother me. I work extremely close with both live, and dead humans, and always see live humans become dead humans, first hand.

I saw a TV show on Crime Scene Investigators years ago, the gentlemen in said profession looked to be heavily burdened (like the walking dead, NO joke!), w/all the gastly images stained in his mind from viewing photos, studying gory details, from past cases etc. Wished he could wash his mind clean of all the horrible content now premanently imprinted in his mind, said it was exrtremely troublesome haunting his daily thoughts.
Just something to think about.

I think these photos should be taken off but Im shock on how someone so curious who wants to see a dead human being. I have witnesses accidents like this in my life and believe me its not a good experience, please have respect for them.

What is wrong with all the people reporting this as inappropriate? If you or anyone else does not want to see it, don't look. Nobody has any right to dictate what they feel is appropriate for other people.

I feel really sorry for this guy & his family, its so sad to see people die this way and this could happen to any one of us.
Btw the car is definately a VW Fox but I'm not sure this happend in Europe and those are most certainly not French plates. I would guess its some south american country eg. Brazil (the Fox is produced there and then shipped over to Europe).

Like I said before, they don't have to look. It's a far cry from preventing others from exposure. But then again, I should be used to Americans trying to censor everything they don't personally agree with. FCC anyone?

Tut mir leid das Du so denkst. Die Mehrheit bestimmt in diesem Fall; egal was Du erwartest oder willst. In vielen anderen Laender ist es auch nicht viel besser. Beschwerst Du Dich da auch?
For our english speaking members:
Sorry you feel that way. Majority rules in this case; regardless of what you expect or want. A lot of other countries aren't much better. You complain there as well?

Ich kann dich verstehen. Einfache Menschen sehnen sich nach dem Kollektiv und der Stabilität einer einheitlichen Meinung. Aber für mich ist Meinungsfreiheit absolut heilig. Eine Zensur sollte die absolute Ausnahme sein, gerade wenn die Mehrheit mit einer Meinung nicht übereinstimmt. Ich weiß, dass nicht jeder so liberal denkt. Diese Menschen haben den festen Glaubensatz, man müsse jeden vor allem schützen, dass sie selber als bedenklich, verwerflich oder systemfeindlich einstufen. Ich glaube fest an die Fähigkeiten jedes Einzelnen zu entscheiden, was sie sehen wollen und was nicht. Eine Vorentscheidung, seitens eines anderen, ist mit einer freiheitlichen Gesellschaft nicht zu vereinbaren und kann nur vertretbar sein, falls die Freiheiten eines anderen sonst geschädigt würden.

I can understand your argument. But please don't forget that MBW is a private forum and that the rules therefore don't always adhere to ones perceived norms. We listen to the viewpoint of our membership for change. But that also goes both ways. If we accept or not that is up to us to decide. Therefore its up to you whether you come or go.

I must say that I dont see what purpose was served by posting the pictures. It doesn't have any unique informative content.
People are killed on the roads daily. Its an unfortunate part of our modern society.
While I accept the moderators jurisdiction in deleting the pictures I can't understand why there is a need to 'protect' people from real life, and death. It is a concerning part of western society that the truth needs to be sanitised for mass consumption.
I suppose my second sentence answers my own question.

Not aimed an any particular person...simply an opinion:
It's not about informing or not informing people about real events that happen. Just by looking at the VEHICULAR damage, most people can deduce the state of the HUMAN damage from logic. It was removed from this "public" forum most likely out of RESPECT for those who suffered during this event. It's no different than police and rescue personnel placing sheets over people who have died in accidents while they are still on the "public" road in plain view. There is no need for it to be on display. I think we all can imagine what hard objects do to flesh given the obvious force of impact.

A Different Viewpoint :
If more people who like to drive fast vehicles were forced to look at the result , there would be less carnage on our highways .
Whining , carping and forbidding others to look because you're in denial or can't handle it , isn't proper either .
I'm the guys who used to wash these wrecks out with a hose and yes , you get injured to it and it's a heavy burden too .
it makes me worry about my young son who's a racer on tracks but it doesn't stop me from wanting to look and we don't need any more censorship from real life .

I don't disagree with that perspective concerning people seeing something tragic to get it through their thick skulls that they need to be careful driving, but the main point here is that the victims' bodies do not need to be on display on the internet without consent from the families affected. Many people would not want their loved ones to be seen/remembered by hundreds as a bloody, severed corpse. Some people do not mind showing others their love ones' physical remains to help pass along a "lesson to learn", but they need to be given the opportunity to limit the publicity as much as possible if they so choose.
We need to "respect" the Moderators' position in this so-called censorship because they are simply "respecting" the integrity of the victims.
Another point is that boneheads will be just that until something tragic or dramatic happens to THEM. Seeing pictures does help, but it won't stick in their minds for very long before they are back pulling the same stunts in most cases. It's almost like showing pictures of clogged arteries to someone who has a fatty diet, or a black shriveled lung to a smoker and trying to get them to change their ways...they won't do crap until they "see the light"; i.e. they or someone they KNOW has a heart attack, lung cancer, emphysema, etc. We would love to believe people take advice from random pictures or other means of attempted influence, but we are creatures of habit and many times need strong convincing to knock us out of a rut in which we may be living. The old "it won't happen to me" mentality is always lingering until proven wrong.
This is going a lot further than it probably needs to, but it's always an interesting topic and there are many sides from which to view it, so I'm not saying mine is the final word or something...just my perception.
