  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

What's been your biggest scare?

When I was a MP, had a women go nuts and was sreaming and shooting a handgun on her front yard while holding her infant in the other arm. We were finaly able to get her to put down the kid and another officer grabbed it while we she was screaming and shooting at us. She had already killed her husband and took her own life in front of us all. She put rounds within inches of several of us, I was the watch comander that night, scared for the infant, myself, my people, neighbors, even the woman with the gun, she wasn't a bad person, had issues, but nice most the time, she just snaped.

When my daughter graduated from high school she sang a song at the baccalaureate. The day of the show we got a call that she had forgot her music so my son said he would drive it down to her at the high scholl and meet us there. He had a Ford F150 4X4. A hour before the ceremony I packed up the wife and garandparents to head down to the school. I was raining heavily. As we were driving down the back roads in Western Michigan the traffic slowed as there was a obvious accident up ahead. As we passed i looked over to see a Ford F 150 4X4 upside down in the 6 foot deep ditch that lined the side of the road. The cab appeared crushed by the impact as the truck had left the road rolled and dropped 6 six to the bottom of the ditch on its cab. My son's truck.

10 feet down the road when we could pull over we found Matt and one of his buddies sitting in the buddies car. The friend had happened to be passing by just as the rollover happened. The cab crushed on impact EXCEPT for the drivers side which held. The friend had rushed up, cut the seat belt holding Matt upside down and helped him out. Not a scratch.

I will never forget that moment of asolute cringing fear. I wrote the president of Ford Motor and thanked him for building a hell of a truck.

oh my wow thats scary stuff chuck .. my brother myself and a few buddies were doing some offroading, my friend has a jeep wrangler with a 4" lift and all the goodies but he was kind of new to offroading and didnt want to go down a very steep very rutted up hill so my bro vaulenteered to help him out. he started down the hill when his front left tire fell into a big hole, the wheel spun out of his hands, turned the rig sidewase and i watched my brother roll down a hill at the mercy of a 3900 pound chunk of steal. i was scared to death. but those roll cages that go in those jeeps are damn solid. he walked away without a scratch except where the stock of a .22 that was in the back seat flew up and wacked him in the head then flew out the window...probabally my second scariest experiance

Wow, some story's here. I must say, in a way, we get to see our fears by telling something that happened to us or to someone. It's more like a reflection of something that you don't want to see or feel.

Without a doubt, this thread WILL be interesting.

My biggest scare came from an MRI on my brain. The tech told me there was something significant and referred me to a neurologist. It took 5 gut wrenching days to find out that it was an arachnid cyst in my brain and totally harmless.
