Saddam Hanging
Someone has posted the actual hanging of Saddam Hussein on google. Don’t go to it unless you are prepared for it to be graphic. Here is the link: Link

hah. the best way to get someone to read something is to label it “graphic and violent”.
yeah, I definitely agree.
holy crap.
Ugh.
I am so not going there
Link isn’t working, Dan.
I.. don’t think I’m gonna watch that, thank you very much. -_-
Haha.. I’d love to see how many people comment saying “that was horrible” and then find the link didn’t work.. hahaha.
I know, just saw the above comment and thought about how funny that would look.. because it’s obviously possible, seeing as though people just like to be first.
holy crap. nevermind, I see it.
I’m not going to watch it, but I kinda wanted to just say that in my opinion, it’s really wrong to watch a death like that. I even close my eyes in movies when a character is going to die just because I think it’s wrong. I guess I just can’t bring myself to watch something like that no matter how much the person needs to die.
That sucked Dan! I’ve seen more violence on Spongebob! Why would they cut out during the best part? Then they just barely focus on his face afterwards. Shit, if I was there I would have gotten superior quality video and even had hi-definition and surround sound! But oh well, hopefully someone there got better video.
I said “holy crap” to the fact that it was posted. I went to go see it, and it didn’t work. Rebooted and now it’s working. It wasn’t that bad, but it wasn’t a walk in the park to watch, either.
i refuse to watch it.
on another note, happy new year.
no. thankyou
no question?
that’s not so bad. you didn’t see his body twisting and writhing in the air. i guess i’ve been hardened to most violence though. it could have been worse. if he had been shot, it would’ve been very bloody.
all i have to say is that it wasn’t graphic enough.
That’s sad. =(
Wow.
hmm…
Justice?….. with no appeal and a monkey court! WTG!….. keep spreading that democracy!!
that’s too much for me. i’ll skip.
im debating
Sick? Yes.
Graphic? Sort of.
The more disturbing part was him hanging there with his head tilted about seventy degrees.
That wasnt bad, I didnt mind watching and I wont get a bad dream from it.
I was wondering if it would make its way to the web. At some point it actually looked like Sadam was laughing. I wish there were subtitles or translations available to understand whats going on.
it wasn’t really that qraphic.. but it is kind of difficult to watch someone die, no matter what they did to deserve it. that was fairly difficult to take in.
yeah definately not graphic at all.
It wasn’t too graphic. The camera angles were way off at times. And then his face was zoomed in at the end..I don’t think recording the execution was a right thing to do
Hey Dan, did you know that they hung his dog too? I’m not even kidding, I’ll try to find the link. I saw it this morning.
Why would you post something like this?
that wasn’t graphic. i’m glad you posted it. i’ve been wanting to see it all day, but i was told that we would probably never see the actual hanging, just the part leading up to it
wow…
The New Year is coming, isn’t it time you moved on from this obsession with a wicked man’s ignoble end?
u really didn’t see anything all u could see was the top of his head …happy new year
Violence and death doesn’t phase me all too much. I’ve seen people getting shot in the head before during riots. This was tame compared to that.
Whoever was holding the camera did a sucky job.
I thought I’d be able to handle it, but at the last second, I decided no, I don’t want to watch an execution. I would cry.
No thanks.
I totally agree with sugary_tears. Death isn’t entertaining at all.
They could have picked a more painful way to kill him, but at least they didn’t give a painless injection. Video quality could have been better, but I’m just glad he’s taken care of.

Watched it, and all I can say is oh my.
I guess if it had to be done, then it’s done. Not that I agree with it. Yes, he did a lot of terrible things in his life, but taking someone’s life to justify a death is rather pointless. It goes along with that old adage “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”
I manage to forget about these things until you post them…..so I will now move along [away from your site] and forget about them once again. =)
The quality was pretty terrible.
Some people’s comments here are either disturbing or angering.
I already watched it and I have to say it wasn’t that bad. I’ve seen things way more graphic than this. Gee what can I say, for that brief moment I felt bad for him.
Holy crap…
Well…
He’s dead.
Yep.
That wasn’t graphic… it happens so fast you don’t even really see anything.
You call that graphic???
You couldn’t even see!
I started watching it, exited the window, read a few comments, watched it…
It really wasn’t bad at all. The only thing that really surprised me was when they suddenly dropped him. [Or maybe it wasn't sudden, I don't know--I don't speak or understand the language.] When you see him afterwards and you see his face, I really couldn’t tell if he was dead or not yet because of the graphics and all… but uh, yeah… I’m somewhat glad. Didn’t really feel like seeing blood gush from anywhere.
I can not believe that made me sad but it did!
I wonder what was going on in his head!
I just wish Miguel was there that way we could have got a cool vid!
The video is very poor. It doesn’t even prove that he’s dead.
By the way, you pro-Saddam people are fascinating. God forbid they execute that monster. What a bunch of huey.
For a hanging, that looked almost painless. But still………………
I’m just surprised that it’s already posted on the Web. And even if it wasn’t as graphic as I thought it would have been, that shouldn’t have been surfaced on the internet. At least not that fast… I mean, come on! Give the man a break already.
Well, something positive: He took it like a man =/
<33
eh….
that was awesome!
So this what we have become? I’m not going to lie I watched.
there isn’t a chance in hell I’m watching that
– Pat
I’m sure I’ll get some downfall from saying this but I enjoyed every second of that video, even if they cut out the best part and can only see brief shots of him hanging.
I like your site. Read about my dreams and tell me what you think.
Cool beans. I’ll let you know what I think in a minute. =]
I just can’t watch it. Seeing someone die like that, no thanks. It’s something I’d rather not see.
that wasn’t so bad
You people are so inhumane. Society is so inhumane. It makes me want to hurl.
if people are so willing to deal out death I think they should watch it
“An eye for an eye and we’d be blind.”
too bad it was such poor quality, maybe a better video will be leaked
The quality could have been MUCH better.
I still say he should have rotted away in prison. Dying is the easy eay out.
that was disturbing to say the least….
i thought the video kinda sucked….
but then again…its kinda weird to watch someone die on the internet…
Ugh.. Dan….
I don’t think i’d be able to take that..
In general for it to be posted is just disgusting.
Who cares if it wasn’t graphic enough for your liking? It’s a death. Death is graphic.
this is one time in my life when I do not know what to say…doesn’t happen often.
It kinda made me… depressed feeling?
That was disappointing.
Ah, one less tyrant on the earth. It wasn’t bad and I’m glad he’s gone…nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah–hey, hey, goodbye. That guy so needed to be killed.
BTW yours was the first place I saw it. What a man of the Internet you are.
i wanted to watch it. and i clicked the link and the video started and everything. but it was kinda slow and didnt get to the graphic part soon enough. and then i convinced myself that eh, someone getting hanged might not be so fun to watch…
i heard that they cut it once they actually hung him.
they should have had that broadcasted on cnn. it shouldn’t have been provate either. but ah well.
but is it so wrong to be merciless to someone who didn’t show mercy to his own people?
i watched it..wasn’t that bad
i feel alittle happyer from watching that.
At this point it is too late at night, and if it is bad, it will be in my head all night long. Better to brace myself in the morning.
Holy…. wow. That was just wow…
Well – All I can say is for those who think it’s “sad” – I wonder how many families have felt “sad” because of him. He was evil in the purest sense. He deserved worse.
Considering I covered my eyes the first five times I watched (er, listened to) Hallie piercing Annie’s ears in The Parent Trap, I think I’m gonna pass on this one.
I’m not going to look at it. Although I’m curious if this is another one of those tricks you’ve done before.
The link WORKS, people.
And that was some of the shittiest camera work I’ve ever seen. Though the shot of Saddam dropping through the trap door was somewhat decently done.
I saw most of it. It was disturbing, but the man did deserve punishment for his crimes. Unfortunately, now he’ll probably be punished for the rest of eternity…
The link worked for me, but I closed out of it as they were tightening the noose. I couldn’t stand it…
…and you know something? I don’t care if he was a ‘tyrant’ or did horrific things, we do horrific things too — Saddam was the best thing to happen to Iraq. You just have to look at it from the right perspective.
(prepares for hate mail accusing me of being a terrorist and/or antiAmerican.)
how is that different than watching the bad guy get blown up on tv?
and we think the romans were uncivilized….
Oh my god I’m so curious. Should I watch it? Or is that inhuman and disgusting?
That was Horrible footage….. Nice steady hand that camera man had ! ?
It seemed Unreal !
What can I say ” Horrible”
Wheres the one of BinLaden?
Thanks for the link, Dan. I needed to see that creep die.
I think that’s sad.
How heartless can one be to derive pleasure from watching another person die?
WHOA
Not even gonna look.
We should have drawn and quartered him. Or used VX gas on him. Or burned to death. He needed to suffer. Not a nice and quick death.
“Saddam was the best thing to happen to Iraq. You just have to look at it from the right perspective.”
What in the world are you talking about?
I’m glad I saw that.
The link does work.
It’s sick is what it is.
Well, two things are. One, that the stupid camera man can’t hold the camera still longer than five seconds, and two, that they filmed this and put it online.
It seems foolish and backwards to solve a crime by committing a crime. I’m not saying he was a saint or even a remotely good man – who am I to say such things? – but the fact remains that “capital punishment” is just legal murder with a nice name.
The only reason why I can’t go on it is because my auntie might see…and then I’ll get in trouble…
I’m not going to watch it. Ugh.
i cant believe i saw it. now i feel all inhumane.
stupid curiosity.
Now convinced that that is the worst possible way to die…
I’m not watching, that’s sick.
bad deal
That’s sad , believe I’ll pass although I have to admit I have a certain curiosity about it.
I won’t watch it.
hey man… are you obsessed with this or what?
Uh, lame!! I wanted to watch it, but it gave me a “This video is currently not available. Please try again later” message.
grim.
It’s not graphic…he didn’t die in a graphic way at all. not as he should have. The deaths he caused to be inflected on thousands of people during his reign were far more graphic. ~Shea
I know. I already saw it.
I couldn’t bring myself to watch it. I clicked on it and watched about ten seconds and then hit the x in the top corner of my browser. I’m not blaming you. You did warn us.
I can’t understand why anyone would want to see a real death like that in the first place.
Poor guy.:(
