I was watching TV this evening and they showed a man CUT IN HALF by a truck, alive, talking with the cameraman. They showed the scene, but of course it was pixelated. After some short googleing I found the actual footage.
Beware, this is not only disturbing, it can make you go to the toilet :

At least he lived long enough to make a quick prayer of reflection to God before passing on. Sadly for me, I saw this kind of bloody human carnage almost everyday when I was doing my tour in Iraq.

Did he die there on camera at the end? He's just like laying there talking to people with his torso cut off, it's kind of amazing if you think about it. It didn't even seem like he was bleeding that much.
If you Google search for "man cut in half" there's this story of a guy cut in half in 1995 who lived and is walking around with an egglike apparatus on his lower torso. I think it might be the same guy.
ATDestroy: It's a very busy road there, and don't you hate it when every asshole on the freeway slows down to stare at some car wreck? I think they're being kind of respectful.

it's a busy road, and there are always rubberneckers. And it only takes about 3 of them to slow the entire section of freeway. I don't tend to think that everyone is a rubbernecker, but if there are some, then the road will be doomed.
Also, it wasn't disturbing at all. But then again I'm not bothered by that kind of stuff.
ATDestroy, what are they supposed to be doing? I'm assuming someone called for help, after that there's not much else they can do.
Meh.

But yeah, I see your point. I probably would have kept on going at a constant speed. I guess I was too quick to make assumptions.
I had a look for that on Google srry, it does seem like he is the same guy. I hope so, anyway.
