Summary What goes into making high stake decisions? How do we react when we are confronted with a split-second decision in the face of danger? And how does being under pressure shape the choices we make? Qantas pilot Richard de Crespigny had to make instinctive decisions based on years of experience, when one of the engines of QF32 exploded four minutes after take-off from Singapore. His quick thinking and expertise saved the lives of 469 people on board. How does time play into decision-making? Some people weigh up all the risks and go about it with reason, while others are impulsive and follow their hearts. This week, Insight hears stories of people who had to make hard choices when the stakes were high. How did they go about making those decisions and how have they dealt with the aftermath?
