Default Re: Have you been close to death and how did it feel?

when i was 17 i was coming home from a baseball showcase in brenham texas (with my parents) when a guy on the other side of the highway fell asleep and drove of the road down into the median(about a 20 foot wide grassy area for you non-texans). my father see's him and starts to slow down, the car is coming at an angle toward us, then when it hits our side of the highway the car is propelled in the air (it hit a 3 or 4 inch raise that seperated the highway and median). the car was in the air and headed toward the front driver side corner horizontally in the direction toward the back corner passenger side (i know that must sound confusing), so my dad swerves the car to the far left of the highway and floors it underneath the car, back of the propelled car crushed the passenger side of our car (my mom needed about 30 stitches from the broken glass) and landed on top of the car next to us killing a husband and pregnant wife. it was the most horrific experience in my life so far, though i know it doesnt compare to some of the ordeals people have endured its all i got.
