in situations where 1-2 people cut themselves and there is lots of blood, I am actually very calm and collected but I'm not sure if it were up to me to prevent the deaths of 100+ people, that would be very stressful

Serious said:

You would, trust me, survival is the ONLY goal. It is amazing how your brain kicks in and you just DO .....

I am standing here today as evidence of that....trust me

I am afraid I would just paralyze or something. I think none of us knows how we would react in a situation like that before it really occurs. You managed to act right, but that doesn't mean I could do the same.

ZombieKitten said:

I have never been in a situation where I had to help anybody when blood was involved. I am not sure how I'd react.

Serious said:

I guess if you dont no one knows because you dont get to tell the story

mdiver said:

You mean there would be no survivors left then who could tell it instead of me? Shit.

kids are always bleeding and stuff
the master embedded a stanley knife into his leg up to the hilt recently, I was trying to see how deep it was, went into the muscle
Last Friday night Oscar split his eyebrow open and had to get stitches, no point panicking, in fact it doesn't make me panic I guess cause they weren't SPURTING blood or in any danger

6 minutes. six minutes from being on the runway to being in the water. i can't imagine.

ZombieKitten said:

I think I am happy that I haven't got any kids . Although a certain someone has got many scars and I guess if I was to spend more time with him I may come in situations like the ones you are describing.

Serious said:

accident prone?

ZombieKitten said:

He sure is. While I stayed with him he hurt his hand and it was really swollen and hurt a lot. But there was no blood .

Serious said:

ZombieKitten said:

I asked him where he had all his scars from and my reaction was the same as yours .

Serious said:

is it just clumsiness or not foreseeing potential consequences? or just building stuff

ZombieKitten said:

I guess a combination of everything and some were not his fault but hers.

Serious said:

uh oh!

ZombieKitten said:

But none was my fault .

Maybe they had time to catch the next flight out!

Lammastide said:

they all had to fill in incident report forms first, and get dry and declare lost luggage etc probably

Lammastide said:

you know that really neat feeling of being pushed back in the seat as the plane lifts off?
i keep thinking of that panic as you realize the plane has no power. and you feel your heart in your throat.
i wonder if it felt like an eternity or if it zoomed by?

thank goodness the water was there!
i bet the flight attendants didn't even have time
to get out of their belts before the emergency happened.

emm said:

oh you know that sinking feeling you get when there's turbulence

ZombieKitten said:

i should have put that in the "romance" thread. i took a 9 seater plane to go see him. the kind where the co-pilot is also your flight attendant. we hit a pocket and if we hadn't had been belted in we would have caught some big air!
