The Cyclone
I was waiting in line to ride The Cyclone, the roller coaster at Coney Island. Instead of stopping at the end of its run to let me on, the coaster flew by the entrance area and sped up for its second go-around.
Right after it looped-the-loop (in real life, there's no loop) The Cyclone derailed, smashing into the ground. It was obvious that there would be major injuries. I ran away to a pay phone to call 911.
[Aside: These days, it costs $5 to ride The Cyclone. Initially it seemed like a rip-off, but after riding the thing last fall--it's not.]
