What was your scariest "A second later and I would've died" moment?

I was studying in the US for a while. Shortly after I got there I had a phone but it wasn't on any network because I hadn't sorted that out yet, it was effectively an iPod. I walked to class, as soon as I got to the building I started getting a load of texts and emails. Apparently some guy had robbed a Subway and fired a couple of shots right as I walked past, he'd been seen running the same way I'd walked to class with a gun. I had a load of emails from the university telling me to avoid the area, texts from everyone asking if I was still alive etc. I'd had my headphones on the whole time and been oblivious to it.

Anyway, the guy was a plum and came back to rob the place next door while the police were still cleaning up from the first one. So they got him before I got back from class.
