The sirens blare! The missiles are coming! You've got 5 minutes! How do you spend them?

Face to face with the inevitable, how do you react? with a sense of satisfaction? or a sense of guilt? And in those last few seconds, when you see the lights arcing across the sky...whom do you think of? yourself? your family? your god?

    I will spend those last 5 minutes with my kids, letting them know how much I love them and telling them goodbye.

    I'd have no reason to feel guilt, I'm satisfied I've done a good job, and we will prepare to go to our deaths. Not to a God.

    Easy. Jump off of a cliff. I am not going ot let some missile take me out. And free falling is fun, so at least i'm having fun in the last few moments of life. I'll fall, and enjoy the rush, and spend the last few minutes falling thinkin abour those i love. plain and simple. great way to end it. I mean, i'll die not much more than like aminute early, so i don't think that'll matter.

    I've been trained on this scenario intensely. I've been to the DMZ and worked in Korea guarding military installations. I would react normally as per my training.

    Take a knee, put on my IPE gear, find cover. Get away from the grass, stay vigilant and watch for Air Attacks.

    I would be okay I guess, waiting for the counterattack or NBC contamination team to sweep and look for unexploded bombs.

    Source(s): I would think of what needed to be done on my part. I have a job to do in this scenario and I will do it.

    Well there'd be nothing good on TV. I'd probably knock on my neibor's door and appologise that I didn't get to know her better before and ask her if she wants to orgasm again before the end of the world.

    Satisfaction... mixed with fear. My son would be the first person I would think of, then my husband. But by that time, it would be over anyway....

    Wish I could think of loved ones, be with someone I love. Wish not to panic and focus on myself. Be unafraid.......keeping faith. Sorrow that time has run out for people.

    Instinct: throw myself over our kids to protect them
