I certainly felt like I was near death at the time. I let a friend drive me home when she was quite obviously drunk. I don't know what mental gymnastics I did at the time to convince myself I'd be ok, but once we were left of center on the highway I was pretty well scared out of my mind. After a wild hour or so I was home ok, and for much of the time we didn't see anyone else on the road- thus I question weather it was really "near death" or if I'm blowing things out of proportion. My simple experience in suburban america left me extremely shaken, so I can only imagine how people that live through war or natural disasters feel.
