    Talking If you survived a plane crash

    If you've been reading the news you are aware of the Air Bus that crash landed in the Hudson river yesterday. Now if you were a passenger on that plane, you would realize how lucky you are to be alive. With that being said would you live your life any differently? If so, how?

    Likely with lingering fear of air travel...

    I would appreciate every day. Every day that I had with my family/friends I would look at as a bonus. I don't think I would start doing extreme things but I think I would have always a sense of dodging a bullet. I'd be sure to stop once in a while to take a look around and appreciate the world with different eyes..ok .ok...I'm starting to get emotional now so I'd better stop

    I do not know but they sure were lucky that it weren't the Ottawa river

    Be honest, chris, you would ho even more clubs!

    I think you are right but it shouldn't take a near fatal accident to make those things happen. Do them now. I know with my family I am thankful every day I am with them, since I travel a lot for work, I know what its like to be away,

    It does change your perspective and outlook on life Chris, when you cheat death, you definitely don't take yourself or life as serious anymore, you just enjoy the bonus time you were given

    I'm a big believer in "things happen for a reason". First I'd buy a lottery ticket, then try to figure out why my life was spared. Maybe volunteer and try to "pay it forward".
