8.4 Seconds

... is how long you have to live if you happened to crash through the CN Tower glass floor.

Chris, Cody and I were bored by the end of the day at work. We were chatting away when all of a sudden we came the topic of how long it would take you to fall from the CN Tower glass floor observation deck. We did some high school physics calculations (took us a while because we all forgot what those equations were) and came up with 8.4 seconds.

That's quite some time. A lot can go through your head in 8.4 seconds. We thought it would go something like this:

0-2 seconds - AHH I'm falling
3 seconds - realize the fact that you're going to die
4-6 seconds - think about all your loved ones
7-8 seconds - "Shit did I leave the oven on?"
8-8.4 seconds - "Uh.." *splat*

HAHA the things we think about @ work...
