Scary near death stories: Can you share some near - death stories that involve natural disasters?

During a tsunami, a woman was swept away by the huge waves. She was tossed around like a rag doll in the violent water. She said she could feel the power of the ocean trying to drag her under and she was sure she was going to drown. But somehow, she managed to grab onto a floating piece of debris and was eventually rescued. It was a very scary experience as she was at the mercy of the tsunami.

A friend of mine had a near - death experience while driving. His car's brakes failed on a steep hill. He was approaching a busy intersection. He had to quickly shift gears and use the emergency brake while swerving to avoid other cars. He narrowly missed crashing into several vehicles and finally came to a stop by hitting a fence. He said it felt like his life flashed before his eyes in those few seconds.

There was a man who had a heart attack while driving. His car swerved off the road and crashed into a tree. He said that as he was losing consciousness, he felt like he was floating above his body and could see the wreckage. He heard a loud ringing in his ears and thought it was the end. Then, suddenly, he was jolted back to life when paramedics arrived and revived him. This near - death experience was terrifying as he was so close to not making it.

There was a story of a man from a small village in India. He was in a coma after a severe accident. During his near - death experience, he claimed to have visited a place filled with beautiful gardens and flowing rivers. He saw his deceased grandmother there who told him that he still had work to do in the world. He then felt a strong pull back to his body and eventually woke up. After waking up, he said he had a new - found sense of purpose and became more involved in his community, believing it was part of his unfinished 'work'.

There was a man who had a heart attack while driving on a busy highway. His car swerved out of control and narrowly missed hitting other vehicles. He passed out at the wheel but somehow managed to come to just in time to pull over to the side of the road. An ambulance arrived soon after and he was rushed to the hospital. It was a very close call and he was extremely lucky to be alive.

Well, I know a story where someone had a near - death experience while mountain climbing. They slipped and thought they were going to fall to their death. But instead, they had a vision of a peaceful valley below. There was also a case of a woman who almost died during childbirth. She described seeing a bright star above her and feeling a sense of protection. Additionally, a man who nearly drowned in the ocean said he saw mermaids - like figures that led him to the surface.

There was a person who had a near - death experience while drowning. As the water filled his lungs, he suddenly found himself outside of his body, looking down at the pool. He saw his own body being pulled out. He then traveled through what felt like a starry space and heard beautiful music. Also, a firefighter once got trapped in a burning building. He described seeing a golden glow and feeling as if his deceased grandfather was there with him, giving him the strength to hold on until he was rescued.

Yes. A diver once had his umbilical cord, which connected him to the surface for air and communication, get tangled with some underwater debris. He was unable to free himself and his air supply was getting restricted. It was a near - death experience as he struggled desperately until finally, with great effort, he managed to cut himself free using a small tool he had on him.

Sure. One story I heard was about a man who had a heart attack while hiking alone. He felt his strength leaving him and started to see a bright light. But then, he remembered his family waiting for him at home. He managed to use his emergency beacon and was rescued. It was a very close call.

Suddenness is a common element. Things happen so fast that there's no time to think properly. For example, like in a car accident where the brakes fail suddenly.
