Let's share (if it's not too personal)

I can remember 2 moments

1)A car accident (if you can call the collision between a 6 year old human body and a speeding bus "a car accident"). The moment right before the impact was the scariest moment of my life. I had recurring vivid nightmares about it for years. Alxamdulilaah I am here today by Allah's will.

2) Being stalked by a rabid hyena in the open countryside (i.e. nowhere to run)

Wow. I've never had such moments, alhamdulillah. Were you paralyzed in any way after the collision? How did you end up escaping from the hyena?

1) Longer than usual turbulence on a crappy African airline.
2) A coyote following me at night
3) Very close to a gun fight between AK47-wielding protestors and government troops.
4) Was introduced to someone by a friend and the next morning he was murdered.
5) Stuck on an elevator in one of the top floors in a 200m+ skyscraper for about 10 minutes.

Nigga i've never been scared im a hawiye

There was a time where I was assumed to be dead because I was out for more than 24hours. I woke up to the fam discussing where my grave should be digged. Needless to say I almost died for good.

The scariest moment in my life was, when i found my father in the bathroom and the whole floor was full of blood.I still cant get that image out of my head even though it happend many years ago.Musqusha ayuu ku siibtay markaasu madaxa dhulka ku dhuftay, alxamdulilah he survived.

You guys have been through rough moments. I once had a dislocated knee (which kills so much) and i thought that was bad lol.

No paralysis but internal head injuries and a leg injury ( a piece of rebar from a construction site besides the road impaled me through the thigh). I was in a coma for a bit but I came out alright Alxamdulilaah;
The Hyena thing, I was with an uncle a few years older than I and we kept beaming it with a flashlight and throwing rocks at it but it just wouldn't go away, It didn't attack us...it trailed us slowly while foaming at the mouth which made our fright even more unbearable. Thankfully, we didn't panic and run or it may have been it for us. By the time we got near where we were going , it slipped back into the darkness.

Salol,

That is a beyond scary. I had a similar experience with my father (aun)…His situation was more serious but it somehow didn't affect me as much as I was in my teens then

Getting shot at scariest moment of my life near vomited si much in my life after that experience

If I had the appendages and appropriate orifices I could do it with my eyes closed and my legs tied behind my back.

j/k. I know what a terrible thing childbirth is, it's a level below sakaraatul mowt...Ilaahaay ha kuu barakeeyo your twins and may they appreciate all that you do for them.
