In 1975, my cousin was killed by a Drunk Driver, 10 months later I was hit, and almost killed, 20 surgeries just to live so far and they say possible more, 2 years later my brother was almost killed by a Drunk Driver, a year after that, my folks were pulling into thier driveway and they got hit by a Drunk Driver, I'm the only 1in my family that is going to pay with my life! Where's the Justice?
This was one of the saddest and most depressing thing I've ever watched. But it truly is an eye opener and I shared it with everyone I know and love because I never want them to be the cause of a death or deaths
It is. At least it was for me. I also was required to write a 2 page report on it. If you would care to see my report, here is the link. mrandersonarea51.wordpress.com/2020/02/13/lives-affected/ And yes it made me do some critical thinking as well.
I’m a recovering alcoholic and by the grace of God I was able to stop drinking. I took many chances with my life and the lives of others by driving after drinking. I watch videos like this in order to keep it green and never forget how lucky I’ve been.
I have been sober since 11-25-1990. I drove drunk all the time and never thought anything of it. The people I put in harm’s way’s will haunt me forever. This is just one of the many reasons to get sober. Yes it is hard to get and stay sober but it is worth it. My condolences to all these families. 🙏♥️
I can't begin to imagine. He'd already experienced the loss of 5 of his 9 children. Then to lose his life partner, and two of his remaining children. I don't know that I could have continued.
My parent's were alcholics i remember as a child hiding on the floor in the back seat thinking i was safer. The 1970's. What fear i pray for all these family's...🙏🏼❤🙏🏼💛🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💚🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💖🙏🏼
This was heart breaking. We have children and cannot imagine the loss. I have had a rude awakening. I’m so so sad for these families I’m crying. I have learned my lesson. Thank God I never hurt anyone when I was a drunk driver. It will never happen again.
Thank God.... I pray everyday of being Thankful for me not killing someone.... I was driving for 4 years and was blacking out 98% of the time..... Thank You Lord.... I dont think I could have lived with myself.... I totaled 6 vehicles,but I never hit another car..... THANK YOU for not hurting someone
My condolences to everyone in this video. Especially the heartbroken Husband and father @ 7:30 such tragedy. I cannot imagine the pain they all suffer.
Mee too. We have a serial drunk driver as neighbor. I have called cops several times, I have been in court as witness, but he gets just a slap on his wrist. He has injured people, but no jail time. And less than a year ago my niece lost the love of her life because of a drunk driver. Yes he got in to the car with his friend, both drunk. But the friend had the nerve to blame his dead friend of being the driver. The investigation later showed he wasn't the driver. Did the lying friend get jail time, no. I hate drunk drivers so much. They can kill people with nearly no consequence. It's insane. I'm powerless to the serial drunk driving neighbor. He is a ticking time bomb. God help him if he kills someone in my family.
The STRENGTH and PERSEVERANCE these family members showed while dealing with their loses & being able to tell the world their tragic stories is truly empowering. May God stand beside them every day for the rest of their lives guiding them. I truly don't believe I could've been this strong in the face of such tragic events let alone being a voice against it. I can't imagine how much pain these families have had to endure is just MIND BLOWING to me Let alone being able to speak about such tragic events and the losses they have faced over coming being able to move forward towards the future and all it's uncertainty
Facial expressions and voices from hell. I remember these expressions and voices, from when I was doing internship for my EMT-1 certification, in an emergency room, and while I was an EMT for 2 and a half years until I blew my back out, and then for a little over a year when I worked in a funeral home. Please. I can't stress this enough. If you've been drinking, or doing drugs, or even if you've taken prescription drugs, or haven't had enough sleep to function properly...don't drive. Because we who've worked these jobs can never forget the faces of the deceased, or the expressions and voices from hell, from those who lost them because of the abject stupidity and thoughtlessness of impaired drivers.
I'm a former police officer in a few small towns in Nebraska and I wasn't shy about my being out to get drunk drivers. I was under pressure to find employment elsewhere because the bar owners didn't like me arresting their patrons. After seeing this video I'm proud of every drunk driver arrest I've made.
Oh my God I could not stop crying watching this absolutely heartbreak. I pray they all rest in peace with the angels🙏 A friend of mine was hit by a drunk driver brain damage had to learn everything all over again his life will never be the same.
I went to school with Robert Rees and remember riding around town with him shortly before he passed. I was surprised to see his story in this video, after the earlier stories already brought him to mind. Our community was greatly impacted by his death.
its so hard to watch these, especially those who survived the accident that killed those they loved. so much pain in each story, knowing that some drunk just stole everything from these poor people. may they find peace when they meet their loved ones again in heaven
Yeah, MADD would love to get a piece of the revenue from universal interlocks. I'm sure they're working on it. Of course, the interlocks would require "calibration" every month, so there's an endless stream of recurring revenue. Maybe MADD would then stop charging $100 "participation fee" for attending a Victim Impact Panel. Instead, why not also require everyone attend a Victim Impact Panel and pay $100. Make it $200! And make it an annual requirement! But remember, MADD is a non-profit, so they get tax-advantaged status! MADD will constantly think of more ways to expand their revenue stream, always at the cost of your money, rights, and freedom, whether you're actually a danger or not.
No, it's our drinking culture that's the problem folks. If people feel the need to drink everytime they go out, well that problem is on them. Not others.
We as a country need to take DUI much more seriously. 1st offense, 6 months in jail. If a life is taken, you go to prison for the rest of your life. Plain and simple. We are up in arms about gun related deaths in our country. Which is horrific in itself. But nobody talks about the ones we lose from selfish drunks. It is so unfair. Bless all these families.
what we also really need to do so much more often which really should have been done ages ago i mean literally 16 damn years ago requiring mandatory ignition locks for all convicted drivers im furious that that hasnt been mandated back in 2006 america was very long into the 21 century but we have very much failed to updated our drunk driving penalties and do what is necessary to prevent very very large numbers of convicted drunk drivers from driving drunk again its insane what the hell took so god damn long
Time to tighten DUI laws to not a drop.......you get stopped with any trace of alcohol in your system you go to jail.....just like anyone using their cell phone while driving should be arrested too
😥 life as we know it at that moment...forever changes...my condolences to all of you that lost a loved one...heartbreaking....because it’s so preventable.....
Just heartbreaking to watch. Bottom line is we always think it won't happen to us. That is the catch. May God bless all these people who have lost everything.
Anthony Cardoso You’re right. That is the biggest barrier, thinking it only happens to other people. You can lecture people until you’re blue in the face, but if they think their odds are in their favor it won’t sink in until it’s too late.
This is really a big eye opener for me cause I’ve been a lot of situations where I could have been hurt or injured and it still hasn’t happened and I will be safer from now one
On behalf of the good and decent people who would never drink and drive, who don’t feel the need to stare at your phones while driving……. I’m so desperately sorry to each and every person who has suffered through this hell. They need to show this in schools and have drivers education as part of the high school curriculum. Here in Australia we don’t have any of that. Take people who are drunks keys if you can and hide them. They can be as angry as they want but it’s better than the alternative for more than just them. I threw a mates keys on our roof once without his knowledge. He searched my house for 2 hours before he finally passed out. He lives 2.5 hours drive from where we were. He 100% would have caused carnage.
When I was a teenager and in my early 20s i regularly drove impaired. Back then, the "one for the road" and "keep 'er between the fence rows" mentality prevailed. I don't recall ever thinking I might kill innocent people. I consider myself to be an unindicted attempted murderer many times over. I'm SO GRATEFUL I never killed or injured anyone and I think about it whenever I start to judge others. I am no different.
Any amount of alcohol impairs reactions,if you drive a car,ride a motorbike,pedal a bicycle,or use any other form of transportation,dont drink.I drive,and twice last year I made 2 driving mistakes,the first one was from feeling stressed about my son,who had a really nasty accident,so my mind was not completely on the job of driving as a result.I turned right out of a "T " junction, then suddenly a car coming from my right almost went into the car that I was driving,but my really quick reactions stopped an accident which would have been my fault,I looked to my left and there was another car coming from my left,but there was enough time for me to pull out quick enough,to avoid a collision,the mistake rectified in seconds,had I been drinking my reactions would have been too slow,and the car coming from my right would have crashed into my car.The second mistake was with a cyclist it was raining,and I looked to my right then my left,then I turned left out of the "T" junction,and I almost went into the cyclist,but again my sharp reactions saved another accident,mistake rectified again in seconds.I dont drink,but had I been drinking these two incidents would have been a very different story.
My sister was killed by a drunk driver in 1981. As someone said words cannot describe the pain of such a senseless, violent death. Guy who killed her got some jail time but the only true justice is the laws of nature. He died of leukemia year later. My brother’s brother in law killed 4 people driving drunk 2 years after that. All in the same family. He got 9 months in jail. My parents joined MADD and went to meetings of the legislature and congress to get better sentencing and stiffer penalties and not a damn thing has changed.
I sincerely wish that the drunken idiots that cause these accidents would be made to live behind bars for the rest of their miserable lives watching videos like this on repeat 24 hrs a day.
Even better we should continuously show them these videos so that way they will realize first hand what the horrible consequences of drinking and driving really are which can then prevent any further DUI incidents from happening again. In addition parents and relatives should constantly tell their children, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren that they should never drink and drive nor drive with someone who is drunk and should constantly stress to them about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or riding with someone who is drunk.
This is extremely heartbreaking😥. These tragedies should never happen. Why can't these drivers think for a second about their responsibilities?! DUI cases are 100% preventable if only everyone would be careful and would be responsible. I know it's impossible but I just wish the families could heal from the loss of their loved ones😥. I hope justice would be served.
I hate how the doctors already jump to a conclusion half the time in some cases and say “they’re gonna pass away and they’re just in a critical condition” or theyre just like without a proper diagnosis “They won’t be able do this again” they need to try everything they can at least to save them🤦♂️, and they have to try to do everything they can to help a patient who has been derailed….
yes we need to do so much more and better to prevent teens from drinking and doing drugs which really should have been done 10 times more often and better 20 fricking years ago im furious and extremely horrified by how little real progress has been made
Currently taking drivers ed and had the option to go sit by a intersection and take notes on things people did wrong, or to watch this video and wright what i learned. Im really glad that I was given the opportunity to watch this
Stephen Fermoyle the legs weren’t amputated in the crash but they did break at the hip. I found an article online about this accident and a couple of others too that were featured
I went to victims panel years ago it was very similar to this. The woman next to me (there for a dui) was drunk and drinking hard liquor in a coffee cup. Infuriating but shows the addiction
1. you can take a limo to a lot of your destinations for the money dui costs, 2. its your health and 3. most important you might change/end not only your life but innocent people around you.
I cant even imagine the pain these people have been through let alone telling it to the world.. I wouldn't have the guts. I would have broken the first sentence.. such brave individuals
so after watching this & crying & thinking & seeing thing's & seeing & hearing how 1 GUY ( PERSON ) WHO'S DRINKING & NOW DRIVING ..... RE THINKING & SEEING ALL THE DIFFERANT INICENT LIVES THAT THE RIP TORE THREW ALL THE DIFFERANT FAMILY'S........... IT REALLY TEAR'S ME UP INSIDE...... BUT I WANT TO KNOW CUS THE OTHER VIDEO'S SHOWED IN WORDS WHAT HAPPENED IN THE VERY END w/ the guy who drunk & drove & crashed ..... did he really just get up & walk home avoiding it all..... we all know it could have BUT WE ALL KNOW HE'LL BE CAUGHT & PUT ON TRIAL & STOOD TO FACE ALL THE DIFFEANT INICENT PPL,., WHO PASSED AWAY CUS OF HIS DRINKING & DRIVING........ WE ALL R VERY CURIOUS OF WHAT HONEST SO CALLED PUNISHMENT DID THE DRUNK KID GET IN THE END.............................????????????????? PLZZZZ SHOW ON HERE ........................
EVERY DANG VIDEO SHOULD SHOW OR TELL IN THE END WHAT SO CALLED PUNISHMENT THE PERSON GO FROM THE JUDGE.......... WE ALL KNOW OUR HEAVENLY FATHER & SAVIOUR HAS THE VERY FINAL SAY IN EVERY THING BEFORE WE GO THREW HIS GATES....... EITHER SET OF GATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prayers. UA-cam caters to these drunks. So sorry

Wow, this should be mandatory for anyone ever convicted of driving impaired. It hit home to me and really changed my ways of thinking.
More like this should be mandatory in Driver's Ed for anybody learning to drive.

I have brain damage and should not drink alcohol. I was 65 days sober this year and would like to stop next year at 40.
I have been sober since 11-25-1990. I drove drunk all the time and never thought anything of it. The people I put in harm’s way’s will haunt me forever. This is just one of the many reasons to get sober. Yes it is hard to get and stay sober but it is worth it. My condolences to all these families. 🙏♥️
I stopped 52 days ago because for the last 20 years I drank to numb anxiety, not to enjoy how it tastes or smells. Now I use therapy.
I pray and hope the father/husband at 7:30 is finding ways to cope in life . My condolences to your wife and your children !
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'll second that. 🙏

My God..I feel for the man that said he and his wife had already lost 5 of his 9 children before their accident.. damn! That hurts..
Thats too much for any human to go through.
Right just imagine having to go through this 7 or 8 times especially when they were kids
Right? I lost my mom to a drunk and it sucks
And how did they lose 5 kids??

Did I hear correctly that the father lost 5 children prior to the accident that his wife, son and daughter died in?
He did. He and his wife had twins who died at several months old, and three stillbirths.
no matter how safe you think you are something can always happen in a matter of seconds.
The laws are not strict enough with drunk drivers!
God damnit stop drinking and driving.
Heartbreaking 💔
This was really one of the saddest videos I’ve ever seen
OMG!!! How horrible this must have been ♥️. God bless you all🙏
Thanks for sharing the video.
Gruesome Death can happen to anybody at any time. Let's be careful out there! Audience wishes survivors all the best. Cheers!
EVERY DANG VIDEO SHOULD SHOW OR TELL IN THE END WHAT SO CALLED PUNISHMENT THE PERSON GO FROM THE JUDGE.......... WE ALL KNOW OUR HEAVENLY FATHER & SAVIOUR HAS THE VERY FINAL SAY IN EVERY THING BEFORE WE GO THREW HIS GATES....... EITHER SET OF GATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen.
I am told that the drunk driver who killed my son will likely get probation
You should be punished for believing in the lying and war dogging of M. A. D. D. or R. A. D. D. because these people are Jewish Killers
It's not because I didn't drink and drive I done other stuff someone couldn't die drinking and driving is a selfish thing to do ty GB
This is really sad
Don’t drink and drive!
The dad and husband is such a tragic story
Don't drink and drive, it ain't worth it
Cuddles for Michelle!
Why do drunk drivers kill it makes me so mad . It hurts because life's are taken . It brakes my heart ❤️ I hate this 😡
