Worst possible way too die?

Haven’t read the whole thread, so excuse me if this has already been mentioned.

 

One  of the worst ways to die would be waking up confined in a box, only to hear your favourite song playing. Then the box slowly moves, it comes to a complete stop and your hear a loud thud. Followed by what sounds like a loud roar as it slowly starts to heat up.

They dont do it now but Id have thought being hung, drawn and quartered would be up there as not being a particularly good way to go. That and Vlad the Impaler getting his henchmen to shove a 12 foot pole up your rectum and out through your mouth would leave a particularly bad taste in your mouth as you check out!

There was one on Black Sails called keelhauling.

 

Keelhauling is a form of punishment and potential execution once meted out to sailors at sea. The sailor was tied to a line looped beneath the vessel, thrown overboard on one side of the ship, and dragged under the ship's keel, either from one side of the ship to the other, or the length of the ship.

 

Imagine being dragged across all the barnacles, only for it be done repeatedly if you survive.

I've mentioned it before, but the Brazen Bull must of been pretty ghastly. Put in a brass or copper bull and a fire lit below it, your screams turn into musical notes because of the device in its mouth much to the joy of onlookers. 

Yeah it's grim that.

I read somewhere that the inventor of that was it's first victim. The Emperor or King whichever he was wanted a demonstration, so in he went.

 

The device in the mouth was a breathing tube because the air in the bull would have been unbreathable pretty quickly due to the heat so the victims had to breath through the tube screaming.

 

When the ruler was overthrown, or died whichever it was, the bull was thrown off a cliff into the sea.

Crusifixion is underrated, we take it for granted when we're taught about it as kids and it's surrounded by happy songs and stories of santa bringing prezzies to the wee baby jesus, or the time he had that massive party to celebrate his 30th and like 5000 people showed up and trashed his gaff so his ma kicked him out.

 

Thinking about it now though, its a pretty rough way to die, nailed to a big old cross, with an extremely slow and painful death, probably drawing a crowd of bored nosy cunts because there was only like one channel on TV back then so they needed to kill some time before Songs of Praise came on.

Back then? Sounds like parts of Devon circa 2019.

The way those involved in the plot to kill Hitler was pretty bad, hung off a hook with piano wire.

 

The millions murdered in the gas chambers, men, women and children all huddled together knowing what was happening and there was nothing they could do about it.

Terrifying.

did an inquest years ago where some bloke had poured petrol on himself and set himself on fire.

 

The exact cause of death was 'shock and pain'.

 

His Mrs (who he'd had a row with before doing it) asked the fire chief 'would he have suffered?'

 

Cue awkward looks. Then he said 'it was a LOT of petrol so it would have been reasonably quick.'

Covered an inquest once about a lad who fell into a giant industrial mincer designed to chop up boxes. His workmate went to make a brew, then when he came back couldn't find him, and all that was left was 'a bit of red' by the 'giant screws'. Wouldn't fancy that like.

Everyones got that dickhead mate who sends disgusting videos around whatsapp groups. A while back our dickhead sent a video of cctv in a factory. Man gets his sleeve caught in a big spinning pipe and it spins his whole body round and round until he's mince. Literally happens in about 5 seconds and he's just mush. Awful.

Something very similar happened to a workmate of my old fella at a steelworks. Going back to the '60s mind.
