Default Re: Closest you have come to dying

Probably a lot of repressed memories.

I was in gridlock at a major intersection. I hear sirens approaching from the side and then I heard a loud crash behind me. I look in the rear-view and watch the car behind me spin around about 270 degrees from a collision. Stupid kids in a stolen car. I went to a plaza nearby an hour later, and just then they getting the innocent driver on a stretcher.

That was a few years ago. Last week I was driving on the highway, it was raining. A car in the lane to my left is driving slightly faster than me and slowly passing me... he starts to drift into me, I jerk the car away from him, he overcompensates in the other direction and, as I've grown accustomed to, I watch him do a 270 in my rear-view. He wasn't hit.

Creepy stuff. I think I'll just live on the internet from now on.

There were probably some worse non-driving ones, but I can't think of them right now... oh, I ate at McDonalds once.
