Have You Ever Been In A Disaster?

Big Nasty · 02-08-2011 10:32am #1

Excepting this thread!

I often wonder what it would be like to be involved in and survive a disaster, e.g. plane crash, earthquake, tsunami, or whatever. I have this strange desire to be on the perimeter of a disaster and watch it all unfold.

Anyone here have a 'live to tell the tale' disaster story?

Closest I've been to one is when Concord crashed at Charles de Gaulle airport on 26th July 2000. I transited thru there some 10-20 mins before that crash.

This is Ireland. The whole economy is a mess and a disaster. We're dying

Rented Mule · 02-08-2011 2:04pm

I have been through a hurricane, several major floods, and a minor earthquake.

mackg · 02-08-2011 2:05pm

I'll spare ye the details and just say it involved a bottle of voldka and a staff party.

*hangs head in shame*

Mongarra · 02-08-2011 2:08pm

My nearest was when we had the earthquake in the south-east some 30 years ago or so. At the time there were protests about plans to build a nuclear-powered electricity-generating plant at Carnsore Point. Came the earthquake, even though it was only a minnow, and we never heard any more about the plans for the plant.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 02-08-2011 2:13pm

Well I was in a civil war, loads died if that counts...

I was in Beaumont & The Mater hospital A&E units where lots more die through our own governments & the HSE's neglect ... I think this one counts more!.

johnr1 · 02-08-2011 2:33pm

I havent been, but my bollox of a so-called friend was queueing to go into one of the twin towers when the plane hit......if only......
(yes, he would have deserved it):D

earthquake of 6.something in mexico city couple years ago.. not a disaster but it was mad to see everything moving/swaying, locals took it pretty casually actually.. I was fascinated

Can anyone be in an earthquake?

Kanoe · 03-08-2011 1:38am

I was under an earthquake? I duno, how am i supposed to say that.

It wasn't too big 5.7 but we were all falling asleep and the walls started shaking, cups hopping along coffee table and a couple of guys burst in through the patio doors screaming satan is loose!, satan is loose! They were playing with a ouija board as it happens and the glass was tipped over by the shaking

There was a fair bit of building damage the next day though, rightly shook the place up.

(we were in holland and all on drugs at the time, which helps for dramatic effect)

Lots of tornado warnings and watches but nothing major yet in the state of Illinois, lucky enough. Always potential for a storm from around March until August or September.
