Bruno, I stand corrected (redface): I had a closed mind for NDE considered only as the observable experience on the 'patient' in a "dying-like" situation. Your airplane-example opened my eyes: it may refer to experiences when someone (a group?) faces death. Adding my story to my mistake: I had a similar experience in the 1944 siege of Budapest when 5 of us were crammed into a small WC watching the sounds of explosions of the Russian serial gun-hits closing in on us 1-2 seconds apart. We did not know which "next" one will hit us. Every participant had a totally different attitude, I kept a strong observing eye on them (to keep myself sane). Fortunately the salvos hit higher than where we were and destroyed a higher étage. I forgot to realize that things have more than one aspect to watch. This WAS a NDE - on others. We just knew that we're gona die. No philosophy, no physiology, no 'return'. Then we heard the explosions passing "us?" i.e. coming from further and further. John
