i live in jerusalem and had been fortunate enough to not get hit by any bombs but close enough to go help. after i just walked away in a sort of daze until a friend managed to call my cell and came to pick me up. i have only few clear memories, guess i repressed the rest.

Personally, I have got nothing that is worth adding to this thread of my own. But my mother has a number of experiences that would qualify for this thread.
-- Realizing that a friend that was visiting had a fatal heart attack while visiting her, and failing to rescusitate him.
-- While doing home visits for Saskatchewan social services, finding the person she was to check on dead in his vehicle.
-- While on a lunch break from work, finding a man who had a fatal heart attack while parking a car at the bank. His blind spouse was with him. (It might have been wife that had heart attack and a blind husband)
-- Assorted other horrors that one would encounter over the course of a carreer in Social Services.
Other than that, my grandmother was a nurse during WWII and helped treat the wounded who were evacuating from Dunkirk as the Germans bombed it. And my grandfather was a bomber pilot in the RCAF, and participated in the bombing of Dresden, so while he may not have directly seen the results, he did participate.

Most disturbing?
Hmm... I've seen my share of tragedy, pain, blood and guts too, but hands down the most "disturbing" thing I ever saw was a news documentary show about prisoners.
One of the gang leaders led an attack on some other prisoners, and one of the prison cameras caught him in the act. Basically he was sitting on one guy and just casually stabbing him over and over; pausing, finding a new spot and then stabbing again.
Chilling in its cold-bloodedness.

Most disturbing? I've not experienced it, but I've heard of it, was a man who got twisted by a subway train, so that his body was trapped , twisted 180 degrees, in a subway tunnel. He was still alive, in shock, so no pain from the accident, but would die as soon as he was removed. So the authorities called his loved ones down to say goodbye, because once they freed him, he was a dead man.
Just the thought of what a family would have to go through, the thoughts running through this guy's mind, and knowing exactly how and when you'll die and there's nothing to stop it. Scary thought.

I saw that video... It was pretty chilling. It wasn't that it was so violent, but what got me was how casual they were about it. It's like they just stabbed some guy 30 times then went and had lunch or something.

Well, it's a toss-up between seeing a nurse debride my father's gangrenous toe every morning for a year; the countless animal carcasses and bags of feces I exhumed on one forensic case; or the little kid's fingernails and flesh that I sorted through on another case.
The middle one wins in terms of sheer smell.

I'll go with "most disturbing this week" to make it easy. 
Some dumb woman, at a grocery store, wrist deep in a bin of "scoop you own" coffee beans, saying to her ~4 year old "You can feel them, it feels really neat, try it!" as he followed her repugnant lead and stuck his boogery hand in another bin.
Um, lady THAT'S OTHER PEOPLE'S FOOD!
What is wrong with people?!?
And yes, five years ago is close on my all time list.

My entire relationship with my ex-wife, from beginning to horrible end; as seen in hind-sight from a position of sanity.
That I didn't kick her out of my house shortly after she moved in, that I let her move in in the first place, that we got engaged, then married. The entire marriage to a person that freaking Insane! and destructive. The long, drawn out divorce from someone so completely off-the-beam. The pile of just wacked out insane letters she sent to her lawyer and mine.
The so-called "friends" who scattered in the wake. Good riddance, you showed your true worth as human beings, one and all.
