A SECOND BEFORE THE CRASH

I think our biggest failure as a race is we forget the importance of time. We underestimate the power of a second. In the great sports and olympics, racers and runners are distinguished by tenths of seconds. How do you comprehend something like that. There's a fine line between winning and loss. Sometimes an even finer line with life and death. This is my attempt to describe the most traumatising second of my life. As I try to recollect my thoughts of what happened most of the events will always remain a blur.
