[Serious] What was the most terrifying thing that you’ve ever experienced?

About ten years ago I saw my life flash before my eyes. Driving down the highway at 65 mph in my Jeep with the doors off, on the way to an offroad trail with several friends following in their Jeeps. Coming around a bend on the highway and a car crossed the median and was coming at me head on at 65/70 mph. The mirror of her car clipped my mirror and she went head on with the car behind me, causing a 6 car pile-up. The car she went head on with was Ford Fusion packed with 7 people. One of my friends Jeeps ended up being in the accident as well.

I pulled over and sat there shaking for a couple of minutes, and started helping everyone one out. It was a mess.

I actually found a iPhone right next to the car that crossed the median and flipped onto its roof. Cops said the phone showed she was typing a text at the time of the accident. I'm convinced to this day that had they hit me head on with no doors on the Jeep, the front end would've crumpled and I wouldn't be here today.
