Fact of the matter is, you don't know how you'll react till you find yourself in that predicament. If there's one thing I've learned, its that when you are in that position--the position of facing the last few moments of your life--your instincts for survival kick in. You'll be begging, and you'll be pleading for help. Every inch of you including that reasonable brain of yours will want one and one thing only. Survival. The difference between you and I is that when faced with myself I would be saved and if faced with yourself, you would die with a feeling of injustice.
I have been in that situation, and I've never been calmer. I don't fear death; when it comes, it comes, and I will accept that. But I will do what is in my own power—without relying on others or expecting them to risk their own life to save mine, which has no value to them if they are rational—to preserve my life as long as possible. I don't wish to die before I have a chance to live to the extent I'd like, but if I do, I do.
I recommend you not assume so much about people you don't know.
