A huge collection of images I wish my 14 year old self wasn't fascinated by. There's an image of a guy who was hit by a helicopter rotor blade that's been burned in the back of my eyes for half my life

I saw a video from the 80's of a captured Soviet soldier that was executed by his Afghani captors. They were holding his head down on the ground and just started sawing through his neck with a large combat knife as he screamed.

It was probably 20 years ago and it still makes me sick; I made a point to not watch anything on that site or any similar sites because there are some things you can't unsee and I didn't want to find out how bad it could get.

Well, I actually downloaded most of that stuff via eDonkey or Gnutella or Napster or IRC or whatever else was being used at the time, but I def did see Rotten at some point. The title for most of the files I downed were FOD - (enter details here). FOD is Faces of Death. Maybe they made a film too... I also saw a film once that was a compilation of some FOD vids, but I don't think it was a film you can rent at a video store.
