    I had two similar ones-

    1. driving across a bridge and just in front of me, at the end of the bridge, a volswagon eos flew threw the air over the street and landed on the grass on the other side.

    2. Driving on a street that’s parallel to railroad tracks and then jogs to cross them. As i crossed the tracks i glanced right and saw the front of the train. I had been driving beside and just on front of it and didn’t realize it.

    3. One extra - i was going down a hill in a really dark neighborhood. It was so dark in front of me that i stopped. i was sitting on a boat ramp into the gulf of Mexico.

      I have had the train thing happen to me. There were no warning lights where the road crossed over. Fortunately it was a coal train going very slowly. Scared the living daylights out of me. It’s been 30 years since that happened and I’m still neurotic about railroad crossings with poor visibility.

        Yeah. On, i think - I’ve wondered about that over the years. I was 17 and it was an old 1978 Plymouth Fury. Scared the shit out of me! Still does.
