This five-minute talk is about regrets and living life to the full.
Ric Elias had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York in January 2009. What went through his mind as the doomed plane went down? At TED, he tells his story publicly for the first time.
Remember you can read the subtitles in English.

Happy listening!

Wow, amazing testimony. I can't imagine how I would feel if something like this happens to me. I like that now he has a better relationship with his wife, and the fact that the only thing he thought about when he was near to death, was to see his children grow
Yes, we should probably think about death more often than we do.
Carpe diem!
That's a very exciting story! Who would have thought that one day you get on a plane and it crashes into a river. That is something to remember for a lifetime!
