Scariest moment in your life

(Intense _sudden_ , ranging from the most effective “boo” or prank to “oh Christ, I could die this very moment and I’m about to or actually losing it.”)

1. Tie: in summer camp age 7 when the older kids and counselors had us watch “Psycho”; in target range, hearing first wave of Scud attack, Gulf War
2. When my 1 year old son (who’d just started running for the first time) fell and cut his head on our coffee table. He wasn’t hurt seriously, as it turned out, but he bled so profusely that I was in a blind panic as I drove him to the ER.

4. 1990 on a flight from Albuquerque to LA with a stop on Tuscon. The first leg of the flight we met a thunderstorm head on - terrifying turbulence. I gripped the armrest so tightly, I nearly pulled it loose from its bolts.
