Default Re: Closest you have come to dying

- Fell asleep at the wheel on I-64 outside of St Louis, spun out into the median, knocked over a road sign, and missed getting hit by an oncoming semi by about a foot.

- 5 years old, had a MASSIVE asthma attack and was in the hospital for a few days

- Flying into Pittsburgh from London and a plane taking off undershot us by about 50 yards. Those on the other side of the plane screamed like hell - apparently the other plane was close enough that they could see the passengers' eyes. On my side we were visually unaware, then we felt the pressure wave and the others explained things. We all received free flights upon landing.
