Near Death ExperiencesLast time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

Airplane!I was on the way to Amsterdam on the organge airline. It was a boring flight until we started to make our approach to land in a slight storm and the plane got hit by huge bolt of lightning. There was a loud crack (it sounded like the wing had been ripped off) and then total silence. You would have thought people would have screamed or something, but no, silence. Very British. Landed and when straight to a coffee shop to try and, er, relax.
I was on a 727 that had engine failure. As luck would have it we were on the ground and just about to take off.
My last aviation disaster was when we went skiing this year and the pilot taxied the plane into a lampost at Lyon airport. The post was fine, but the wing was buggered. Not to bad you may think, but the wings also hold the fuel tanks....
Not really near death, but definately pant filling. Don't get on a plane with me!
