I was once flying in a plane and then BANG we went down for a hundred meters. Screaming screaming, everybody screaming! I was too stunned to even open my mouth. Then suddenly everything was back to normal.
I think that was uber-cool to happen to me. Though I don't think I would've liked it if the thing actually had crashed...
So here I ask of you, the GameBanshee community, what kind of almost-disaster would you like to be part of?
A plane crash?
A boat sinking?
A skyscraper on fire?
Gotta be in one of these at least once in your life. 
As long as you survive of course...

I have already been through a vulcanic eruption and an earthquake, so I'll have to go for a tsunami next
From your list, I'd choose plane crash.
Edit: a clarification note: of course I mean all of the above only if it's on a smaller scale and nobody is hurt or killed. The earthquake and vulcanic eruption I have experinced were in complete wilderness where nobody lived, and I would love to watch a tsunami at a safe distance only if it came towards a non populated area.
But as long as no serious damage on people occurs, I am very fascinated by the force of nature.

I have only been through an earthquake and I don't want to experience that again.

I want to be trampled by swimsuit models. No one rescue me, OK?

I was in a large riot, once, without realizing it, but since it was in Paris, I guess I can be forgiven for being oblivious at the time. The normal behavior of Parisians is revolting enough to misunderstand the social context.

Am I the only one that doesn't fancy being in a disaster?
BTW-I am scared s**tless of flying, but I am going on a big huge trip in a month or so. Any ideas on how to get over it?
Maybe (If I have to choose, and I'm touching every piece of pine I can get my hands on- Wave give me your head!)a boat sinking thing. At least I can swim. I certainly can't fly by myself so that rules out the high rise building fire and the *gulp* *quiet voice* plane.

@Vix: re: stress relief while flying, do the word 'mile high club' mean anything to you?

@Wave- yes its a club that you join when you've been on a plane thats a mile above the ground!
Flying out on my own- possibly with a female friend. Either way doesn't look promising for me does it?
