What will you do?

Today I met someone who experienced the Chengdu earthquake on May 12. This is his story...

"Suddenly, my room began to shake. I looked out the window and saw the other buildings swaying through and fro. As I was on the 8th floor, I may not be able to run down in time before the building came crumbling down. I realised at that moment that I was going to die. I called my family to tell them I love them. But my parents wouldn't believe that a strong quake would occur in Chengdu. I called my girlfriend and got a scolding for making up stories. When the news came on the television minutes later, they all knew I was telling the truth. But by that time, the phone was already disconnected, leaving my family distraught."
