Scary indeed but I had to laugh at the Yank Passenger I heard being interviewed who said "I saw water coming into the cabin and thought this is it I'm going to drown to death"
Well death does tend to be the inevitable outcome of drowning 
In a similar vein, how often to you hear the dim and simple say "I cut through the mower cable and got electrocuted" when they mean they received a shock.
Electrocuted, like Executed, means a one-way trip involving undertakers and a happy wife clutching insurance documents.
