Half a minute to live

[Archelon]

I find it hard to believe that anyone would have the peace of mind to do or think anything constructive or rational.

If you only have 30 seconds to live, you wouldn't even have time to listen to your favorite song, let alone select it on your mp3 player or, Heaven forbid, take out an actual physical cd and put it in your cd player. And even if you were already listening to your favorite song, I doubt you'd be paying much attention.

And you certainly wouldn't be thinking about what the next game in your favorite series might have been like.

Youll probably be shitting your pants and screaming "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!".

I know, because Im right next to you, doing the same.

If it's above the ocean, I could try bailing.

Course, chances are the water resistance will kill me or knock me out (which then the water will kill me anyways)
Or I'd fall in too deep and end up drowning anyways.
Or the plane sucks me into the water with it.

But in the very slim possibility I live I could hope no sharks come for a couple of hours and that rescue comes.

Archelon would exhaust is 30 seconds nagging at other people on how to spend the last seconds of their life.

Suck a titty.

Archelon would exhaust is 30 seconds nagging at other people on how to spend the last seconds of their life.

And they would love me for it.

Why?

Because it would make them rejoice in the fact that they're going to die in mere moments.

[Vector]

I'd probably talk to myself about my family and loved ones, about how much I love them and such. That's about it.

[GuardhouseMusic]

I think I'd be in the panicky but too overwhelmed to have actually said anything crowd. I would brood around and then pass.

"Damnit! Really?! I have to die a virgin?! Fuck this!" *Goes up to random guy* "Hey wanna fu- *plane crashes*"

[Dan Corson]

I think you have been the most honest, Taylor. I could totally see you doing that.

Teenagers.

[missvalentine]

I said the same as Taylor but go reaction.

lol

Anyways, I think Achelon and MOS are right.

I dont really know how a body looks like after it has fallen from 30´000 feet, but the reports from the recent crash say that most of the victims died from a horrendous ammount of broken bones. They say that most of these injuries were sustained from the debris inside the plane while it was going down and breaking apart. Dont know what would happen if one were to fall straight into water, but Ive heard that even a 30 metre fall without proper equipment is fatal (100 ft). Considering that falling on your ass from 2 metres will hurt like hell, I would take my chances inside the plane, hoping on a water landing (extremely unlikely to go well, too). Even if the pilot manages to get the speed close to stall speed, youre still going to be hitting the water at a terminal velocity of 120 mph. "OH GOOOD NOOOOO!" *horrible noise of bones cracking and nutsack falling off*

Youre fucked either way. Contrary to popular belief, its actually safer for a pilot to crashland on land than on the ocean, aslong as you sit in the rear, that is.

[Carnivol]

It's pretty funny, but flying is so hilariously safe. Though, after having probably flown at least over a good hundred times++ during the past half-a-decade, I've certainly often found myself thinking "What to do if this thing suddenly stops working as it should?"

After giving it some thought and thinking of other "Oh shit!" situations from the past... I guess I'll just say it'd be pretty epic if I managed to go through with things (no matter the outcome )

for some reason that part in Mall Rats where Brodie talks about his uncle doing something on a plane cause it was about to crash came to my mind when reading this.

Aah, good ol' Cousin Walter!

Oh the awkwardness that followed as the plane straightened out when the hydraulics kicked back in and they completed the landing without a single problem.




And for any of the jumpers out there; you wouldn't want water. You'd probably rather have something else that (probably in layers) would consume the impact.

[Helegad]

I said the ocean because there is such a minimal chance you'd survive if the plane went into a "crash sequence" 10,000 feet above ground.

Even if you did survive, well, have you ever watched Open Water? Yeah.

ahaha, yes! at least someone knows what i was talking about

+1 for Carn
