The only one I have any sympathy for is the clean up crew.
That's a horrible job for anyone, how can one do that?
No way I'd be involved in that. I'll bet the police, emergency workers, etc have nightmares.
A good friend of mine and deceased member here, William the Coroner called me one night. He sounded kind of down.
I asked him what he was doing, and he said "walking along a train track looking for pieces of a suicide who stepped in front of a speeding commuter train. Basically, they just turn to mush."
When I asked how much he expected to recover, he said he'd be happy to find enough to fill a grocery shopping bag.
We talked a bit more and the gist was, after a while, it just wears you down.
