How many times today do you figure you were unknowingly moments away from death?

How close to death do you believe you came today but were fortunate enough to miss it? In the last week to 10 days in my area a man was shot to death while leaving a GED class at a church of all places, a young man was shot to death while standing out front of a hardware store with friends when gunmen opened fire on him for seeming no reason. A young boy was struck by a car and hurled into traffic where he was struck by a truck, he did not survive. A 60something woman trying to cross the street was mowed down and killed by a MUNI bus. I am sure when those people left their homes that morning they never imagined they would not be making it home that day. Some came to a demise initially others just random bad luck I guess. Who many times today do you felt you were a few seconds from death like going through an intersection 30 minutes before a drunk careens through it without stopping, or maybe passing under that tree moments before it fell over and would surely had crushed you?
