Earthquake. My brother was sleeping next to me, so got him in between our beds, which I went above him in a four leg stand. Told him "I might not make it if the building crumbles, but you will". Realistically, we're in a high floor apartment so that chance is really slim, but back then I didn't really have much of a choice.

The building we had thankfully didn't collapse and we are still alive. Though a noticable amount of buildings around us did.
