I'm only alive thanks to a 50/50 decision. I was staying at my Dad's flat (as I pop round to see him occasionally) and it was late. He offered that I stayed for the night and asked whether i'd sleep on the couch or in a separate (messy) room with a mattress. I'd often stay and usually sleep on the couch but that night I chose to sleep on the mattress. Come 4am, the whole building is shaking and I wake up to strange sounds thinking a war was happening?!? (you know how sounds effect your dreams!). I get up, leave the room to find my dad in a complete trance looking into the lounge which it was completely in flames (half of the flat). I dragged him away and eventually all other residents safely got out of the flats before the fire fighters did a great job in putting it out. Had I slept on the couch that night I would surely have been asphyxiated and burnt! http://www.thisistot...il/article.html
