A person named Umar Farooq actually jumped out of the aircraft which was on fire! Can you jump even out of a moving car if you are not guaranteed a safe landing? He is certainly a hero!
How big a gamble do you think it wouldve seemed to him at that instant? The ability to throw caution to the winds, especially when it is not tested in the course of our daily life is certainly not innate in all of us. There are those who just wait for the worst and those who take ownership for what happens to them and make an endeavour to save themselves.
That said, imagine the impact of such moments on people's minds. That throughout their lives they'll relive those moments, either thanking their goddamn stars for their flash of inspiration or breaking out into cold sweat at the thought of what if!
So many of us are fortunate to go through life without having to make such heavy choices when there are just microseconds between life and death. Can you even bring yourself to scream for help when in fear? I cant. I actually carry a whistle because my voice fails me!

I loved this line -- 'So many of us are fortunate to go through life without having to make such heavy choices when there are just microseconds between life and death'
Its unimaginable - one moment they must have been waiting to meet their loved ones with bated breath & the next moment its all over. :-(
Thats so true!!
