ok, Im thinking of replying seriously to this thread now,lol...
First, id say before I learned to accept my own mortality, the one brush I had with death was fairly terrifying, I cant honestly relate most of went through my mind, but I kind of get that whole "life flashing be4 your eyes" kind of thing that some people relate, although at the time, I had very little life to be flashing be4 them,lol...
but later on in life, the number of times I faced death, I wasnt afraid of it anymore, not because I was brave, or anything of the sort, but because at those times I welcomed it, I was calm, at peace, feeling the heat seep from my body and my consciousness slowly give way to darkness, i was at peace, not afraid, So I wonder what my reaction would be to a much more active imminent doom, ive had a gun pointed at my head by a crazy person once, im not sure if thats quite the same though, with all the scared people around me I might be more apt to be just as terrified... but with the gun, i dunno, I felt nothing... till later, I broke down pretty bad later...
So really, I am not sure what I would do if I was on the plane plummeting towards the ground...I have a lot of experience to compare it to, and still have no idea what id exactly do... especially now that I value my continued survival a considerable amount more than I used to.
