Narrow escape

I don't know how to start , because i am still not out of the shock and surprised that i still breathe.

We had great plans for the week end. We were travelling 70 miles away from our city to a neighbour city to visit one of our friend and party. I had never imagined that we will end up celebrating life , the fact that we are still alive!

We were discussing about the air bags and its advantages , i was busy looking out of the window and enjoying the view which had nothing apart from snow. There was a brisk snowfall as well. One of my friends was happily chatting over the phone and the other was busy driving. All of a sudden my friend exclaimed "Oh Shit...!!" , we all looked in front to find one humongous truck and a car. I had no clue what was happening. Our car changed the track and started sliding to the rightmost track from the leftmost track. We had two complete rotations and our car fell into the ditch with the right side of the car dumped inside the snow. All this while i had my eyes closed and prayed god telling i dint want to die. The worst moment , i had lost hopes of surviving and was very confident of hitting a truck or a pole and die on the spot. When all this happened ,our car was on the interstate at 100 kilometers per hour speed. Its beyond my imagination to think about the effects of hitting any object at that speed. For few seconds after the car got stuck in snow we were in silence. My friend got out of the car and was calling emergency , my other friend also got out of the car but i could not because the doors were locked. I was very scared and wanted to get out of the car.

The police dint confirm on the exact time of when they will reach to pull us out of the mess.We got out of the car and tried to remove the ice. All our effort were in vain because the car dint move an inch and the wheels of the car rotated on the same spot. After an hour of wait finally the towing truck arrived with the police and helped us out.
Later we travelled the rest of the distance at 20 miles per hour speed. After we reached our destination we celebrated . We celebrated because we had seen death visiting us and then taking an U turn. It is really scary to even think of being killed in such a horrible way. I am too happy that i am still here. I have decided that i will live my life full on, because you never know this might be the last time you enjoy... Live your life like today is the last day of your life.
Cheers!!!! :-)
