What's the closest you've ever come to dying?

Jesus, super cop!

A few months ago, I was at a red light at the entrance to campus. The light turned green, but I couldn't quite see around the corner and just had a strange feeling that I probably shouldn't go. Good thing I hesitated because a couple of seconds later, this huge white van plows through the intersection at well above the speed limit (especially since the speed limit is zero when you have a fucking red light!). It would've hit my car on the driver's side, and I feel pretty certain that I would have died or wished I had.

I'm almost positive that there was some sort of pedo-bear driving that van, too.  Your death would not have been in vain.

That was it, alright.
