What's the closest you have ever come to death?

I don't think I have been understood correctly. There is just one life and hence there is just one death that is there. There is no concept of a worldly death or a spiritual one. Death means that your body stops functioning and it is a physical fact. Dying means that you are no more a living human being, we are not talking about spirituality here, just the end of our limited lives. There is just one death and that is when your heart stops beating, when your pulse rate and blood pressure drops to zero and when you do not breathe any more.
This is the death that I am talking about and its onset is not controlled by accidents, crashes, falls, bullets, explosions etc etc but by the time decide by Allah. Nothing can ever bring anybody close to his/her death if the time has not come. Haven't you heard tumhari zindagi ki hifazat tumhari maut karti hai.
An airplane crashes and out of three hundred people, just two survive, why? Just because their time had not come. All those who die in that crash do not die because of the airplane going down but because there time was up. If a crash could cause death, everybody would have died.
I remember having read an incident that happened in America a long tome ago. There was a woman so sick and tired of her husband that she decided to commit suicide. She opened the window of her apartment on the thirty seventh floor and jumped out on the road below. She landed on top of a pedestrian. The impact broke the pedestrian's neck and he died instantly but the woman's fall got cushioned and she survived with minor injuries. Guess who was the pedestrian? It was her husband.
I think I have made my point.
