Today, while I was driving home I came upon a traffic jam on a four lane road. Speeds were 55 and ONLY my direction was at a complete stop. Being courteous, I waved an elderly couple though our lanes to turn left. They thought I meant it was all good everywhere. On coming traffic destroyed them.

Did they survive? Its not your fault. Its not your job to check traffic for them, they should have looked before blindly going out into an intersection.

What a horrible thing to witness op. While technically it wasn't your fault as the elderly couple shouldn't have just taken your word for it that it was safe to go, I know a lot of people would have made the same mistake. When you're both in cars and can only communicate with gestures, it's hard to convey 'I'll let you out when it's safe' as opposed to 'I'm letting you out because it's safe now'. Misunderstandings can happen really easily :(

Wait a minute so you were involved in causing a horrible accident and your first thought was "this is a good FML because clearly I'm the victim here". Wow OP just wow.

Wasn't necessarily OP's first thought. Maybe they're sad and reflecting back on it
