Near-death experiences

[Milan 17,854]

I have been really lucky so far when I read all those incredible posts. The worst thing I've experienced, though, must be the incident in tram. With my best friends we were sitting in tram, the driver was about to leave one station (tram halt?) when we noticed one older woman trying to catch the tram. However the driver didn't see her and let the door close. The woman however managed to get her hands through the door, but the problem is that she couldn't go in and couldn't pull them out. She was stuck and the driver continued his way. The woman had to run and for a while she was being dragged. We were trying to help her, to get her hands out of the tram and fortunately the driver finally noticed everything and stopped the tram. She was so fortunate that the way was straight, without any bends, otherwise she would have ended up under the tram.

When I was about 3 I was at my Nana's house with my cousins and my older brother, They crossed the road and after a while I ran out infront of a truck, thank god the truck driver slammed on the breaks.

When I was 6 I was travelling with my aunty and as we came around a turn a Truck came speeding and sent us up on two wheels, and slammed back down again.

and yesterday, Living with United fans celebrating Aaron Ramsey's goal!

Nearest to death I've got.

I was 9 or 10 and I was eating a banana. I grabbed a big chunk with my teeth and didn't chew it well and after I swallowed it I began to choke. I started panicking and god knows how I spit it out. I was also alone in the house. I saw my whole life in front of me while I was choking.

I finished banana after though ^^

This year a smoked a fucking powerful brazilian marijuana, I can tell You that I know what its like to be dead. I felt like I've never been born.

It was really strange, weird and awful. Marijuana is not supposed to make You feel like that.

Weird as shit! I'm bored on the bus going home from work, then I come into this thread and all I hear is car/bus horn tooting and everyone and myself is thrown forward! Some dumb fucking drunk blonde is walking infront of traffic and the bus swerved a little bit. Ok, maybe it's not 'near death' but I and everyone else shit theirselves! I have a sore chest from hitting the chair infront and some people fell. Nothing serious, but the bus driver shouted at the girl and made sure everyone is ok. That was strange.

1996 i was 10 years old, on my way to watch a sunday league football match with my dad (he knew some players). We was close and there was a car parked on the pavement, my dad started to walk around it but i thought he was crossing over so i went into the middle of the road and a car came round the corner and smashed me full on at around 30MPH, was in hospital for a few hours but nothing was hurt, only a couple of bruises.

When i was a baby, my dad caught me just as i was about to attempt to crawl down 20 concrete stairs. He literally found me as i was about to go. 5 seconds more n i was a dead baby.

My gf was very close only last year in July, July 12h in fact, day after my brothers birthday. I saw on the news that a building on the cambridge estate was on fire and it alarmingly looked like hers. They described a 15 floor building and yep, hers is 15 floors so i tried to ring her........no reply. I txt her.........no reply........an hour later her sister sent me a message on facebook telling me that shes ok and she's round hers because the flat has been burned to bits. My gf lives on the 15th floor. She was having an afternoon nap and someone banged on her door and said the building is on fire so she legged it out in just her PJ's and no phone or anything. She was probably about 10 minutes away from burning like a crisp.

Her flat is the one right at the top and right in the corner. She lost almost all her clothes, her bed, some money, purse, all her furniture, everything. The whole place turned into a black box. They are currently doing it up still but they got her temporary accommodation where she wants to stay, she don't wanna go back there. The manager at my work (she worked where i do) got the company to give her lots of furniture and money for clothes which was nice.

When I was waiting for a train to come once and it was about 10 meters away and some chavs pushed me and I almost fell on the track. My balance saved me though.
