Back when I was knee high to a toadstool and dinosaurs roamed the earth (actually when I was about 7 or 8) I witnessed a little kid who fell off a third-floor balcony to his death. The sound of the impact and the appearance of the body afterward is something I will never forget.

Later on, when I was a Civil Air Patrol cadet, I was on a search and rescue ground team; to prepare us for what we could find at a crash site we viewed some pretty graphic photo slides of human remains. At first, you might dismiss it as innocuous crash debris, but once it hits you that what you're looking at is a dead body, it hits you like a freight train.
