Somehow your airway gets shut off, your body thinking it's protecting you from getting fluid into the lungs. Some people die just like you almost did. Choking to death is one of the weirdest ways to die - without a doubt. Glad you are ok! I’ve heard it takes about a teaspoon of water to kill you – you can choke to death on it.

Choking to death is one of the weirdest ways to die – without a doubt.

Glad you are ok!

On my way back from a tournament, I was sitting in the very back of the bus. Having only 3 other people back there with me. 2 of which weren't paying any attention to what was going on around them, as one was laying down (listening to music/relaxing), and the other was listening to music. Neither of them could see me, but my friend was sitting next to me thankfully. I was drinking at a medium pace (atleast I think so), and it hit me.. I couldn't breath at all!.. I never experienced this when I was coughing up water in the past, and I was able to breathe np every time the water went into my lungs. Anyways, instantly I couldn't breathe, the only thing I could do was to try and cough up the liquid as soon as possible. I did manage to cough up VERY small amounts in the form of drops, as if the the lungs had shut to prevent anymore water from passing through. My friend began to help me, although he wasn't sure about the severity until I became desparate. He started to lightly pat me on the back, not hard at all. It became clear to me that he didn't have the slightest clue as to how to help me in this situation. Eventually, after nearly an eternity, for me, I stood up in the bus to show how desparate I was, maybe hoping for someone else to help, but at the same time to try and get the water out of my lungs. I'll be honest, I began to think I was going to die. And now that I think back to what happened, if I didn't try as hard as I did, death may have occured. Unfortunately for me, no one except my friend took me seriously, or even noticed. One of the 3 in the back of the bus with me said to my own surprise that I somehow lost pride by nearly choking to death on water. While no one else on the bus was aware of what occured. This to me.. is a perfect set up for death, and I would hate to go through it again. Another description of my situation: my face turned red when I was choking, and afterward my throat was extremely sore, as if it had to fight for my life.

Number 8 is scary, though. I just heard from one of my friends in the Philippines who broke up with her boyfriend of 3-something years a couple of weeks back. He followed her to the basement parking lot of the building she works at, trashed her car, and strangled her. She has since filed charges and the Philippine version of a restraining order. :-( Of all the things in this list that I’m most likely to die of, I’d say it’s number 7 for accident-prone little me.
