[quote=Anonymous]Remember '6 Feet Under'  the HBO miiniseries about the family that owned the funeral parlor?  Each episode started with some random death/freak accident----like getting hit be 'blue ice' from an airplane  while out in the backyard gardening.  A lot of it was based on true events.

I just listened to NPR's special on a new book about survivors of 9/11 and guilt and how one decision made the difference between them living and dying that day but they had no idea.  There was one guy that was having breakfast with co-workers at the Marriott and somebody gifted him a new tie.  He told the group to go ahead and he woudl catch up wtih them at the meeting at Windows of the World in the Trade Center because he wanted to wear the new tie and needed to go up and change shirts.  All of those co-workers died and he survived.  There were so many stories of turning left vs turning right.  Deciding to grab a bagel as a treat which they usually didn't do.  I find this stuff fascinating.[/quote]
