Best case. I'll think "Aw $H!t", march forward, and die.

Luckily I've already lived a great life
In a work situation when we have mini-disasters, I am heavily involved, just like I was during our company's recovery from 9/11 (my company was in WTC1).

I like to think that I would be at the front if I found myself in a hijack situation and act heroically but if I am honest with myself I think I will be right behind the hero, not the actual hero. I hope that will be good enough.
