I was in a fire when I was in my teens.As billows of black smoke came into my room (it was 6AM) I became very calm and said to myself "so this is how I'm going to die".
Very eerie for sure.
I’m glad you’re still around GSC! You certainly gain a whole new perspective on life after something like that!
Yes eerie, almost ethereal. My husband and I woke up in the air after being thrown out of bad by the Northridge earthquake. I remember thinking ‘well, I might die, but I don’t think I will die’. Not a real near death experience I guess, but I wasn’t afraid. When we got our son from his room and brought him into ours, we just hunkered down for the second quake (two 6.7’s within minutes of each other). It was several days later that I finally cried at the thought of what could have happened.......60+ people died in that quake. We were some of the lucky ones, just thousands of dollars damage to the house and contents.
