I was reading about the death of a kayaker earlier in the week, his father said "If there was a way you could wish to die then he would have wanted to die doing this". I'm sorry to say that as an ex-kayaker, getting caught in a full-flood strainer is a horrifying way to die and I'm pretty that he would not have wanted that.
But if that thought helps those left behind, so be it.
(I've never been so terrified of death during diving that I had during kayaking.)

I find people talk a lot of utter rubbish when someone dies. All this stuff that's supposedly comforting - "he/she's in a better place now" (). What if he/she was pretty happy with life as it was?
My father passed away on holiday a few years ago, had a heart attack while playing golf. Probably the 'ideal' last moment for someone like him (although he was only 50 at the time). But is there really something like a 'nice' death? Isn't it all kind of crap?
With regards to the story - I wouldn't have wanted to know. *shrug*

There may not be a nice death, but there are definitely some horrible ones.
Well I'm not sure but I suspect I would like to be told?
definately. If you are told, you have a chance to reverse the polarity, or increase the fuel feedback loop to overcome the oscillating ratio.
Thats what Arnie always does. mark me, there's always a way

you would get a chance to talk to your family and say goodbye.
You get a chance to go out on your feet not your knees.
you might actually have a good idea and fix just as they did in Apollo 13 and the other tiles issue.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
