I remember when I was driving at the bottom of a hill one time - an extremely steep hill - and I ran a stop sign because I didn't see it. A speeding truck, and I mean speeding due to an accelerated pace caused by the gravity of the hill or just cause he was speeding, came racing down the hill. I was nowhere near to being clear of the truck's path. I gassed it and I barely missed that major collision.
I pulled over to the side of the road where my entire body shook for a few minutes. When I stopped freakin' out, I was livid that my huge Big Gulp from 7 Eleven had splattered all over the floor of the car! Sure, I was safe and uninjured, but I was thirsty and pissed! Priorities, people. If I were a passenger on flight 1549, my losses accrued would be exponentially greater than that of a few dozen ounces of fructose and water. I feel for them.
Sidenote: Some passengers didn't have their life vests inflated, I'm guessing the ones not wearing a life vest are swimmers. I strongly believe passengers should be able to board a plane with a mock plane crash course so that they'll be familiar with what they need to do when it matters. Obviously I can be a cautious person. This is the same reason why I drive on an empty gas tank sometimes but make sure that I have at least one bar's worth of battery power available on my cell phone. Priorities, people.
