Also a possible car incident similar to Morgan's but for me I wasn't paying attention to the road as I was talking to someone. I went to cross and this car sped past me and the right side mirror grazed my arm / shirt sleeve.

Yeah in a way I did remember years ago the july london bombings

Well my year at school had booked to go to london on that day and one of the activities was to go on the london underground. A few days before the trip was cancelled to this day i still dont know why. But then when i saw on the news what had happened the day we were supposed to be in that location it terrified me

Granted we might have not been there at that exact moment but we could have been

My heart goes out to those thay sadly were there at that moment

At the traffic light, when our bus was still, a van, with a drunk driver almost collided into our bus.

Thank god our bus driver managed to notice it and tried to drive away, the van hit the back of the bus and caused some damage, though all of us were at the front so it didn’t matter.

Though imagine if our bus driver didn’t come to his senses...

Plus the van driver was arrested on drunk driving but I never really knew what happened since then...

Discuss.

Nearly drowned at the beach. Was pulled up by my friend after stepping into an underwater drop when already up to my neck in the sea. She had a rubber ring on - I didn’t and she pulled me back. Never liked deep water after that.

No that’s perfectly fine!

Basically, me and my family were sat outside a bar/restaurant finishing our meal and drinks after it had been the Bastille celebrations on the beach. We were at one of the sea front bars on the promenade and basically all I heard was people screaming ‘RUN’ (well those screaming in English) among other things, all heading towards us. I just ran; ducked down inside one of the bars on the promenade (I was unsure what was happening, it was just chaos, I don’t think anyone knew what was going on.) and then the owner of the bar let the people inside come up stairs for safety (there was about 20 of us, mainly French, but a lovely older couple from Newcastle who looked after me).

I managed to find my mum and stepdad who were sat outside the bar still by seeing them from the window in the apartment. I didn’t actually see the van, just heard gunshots and saw a few dead bodies in the road. Absolutely awful.

I’m not scarred by it, I was at first but I don’t think of it much anymore.

I suppose the closest I've ever been was when I was younger, I swam under some rocks which were below the surface, ended up getting lost among them and struggled to find my way back to open water. I was stuck underneath for about two and a half minutes and had a panic attack once I eventually reached the surface.
