Not to go off topic for long, but regarding the car wrecks, did you seem to experience them in slow motion?
I was in an accident where a lady hit the passenger side rear of my car so it spun around. As it was spinning I double checked that I had no stop sign, and that she had a yield sign so I knew she would be found at fault. Also, while the car was still spinning, I thought about the "bag" in my glove compartment and stuffed it down my pants before the car even stopped moving.
The slow motion effect is so odd.
