this is my worst way to die, this is the reason i want to be cremated lol
there are some stories of people being buired and then awaking in the coffin and attempting to scratch their way out, when the coffins are dug up fingernail scratches have been seen on them that idea scares the crap out of me.

I think a plane crash might be one of the most psychologically painful way to go out. Odds are you'll be aware of your own doom a few minutes before you pass out/die but you're completely helpless to do anything about it. To make matters worse, there will be hundreds of people in a complete state of panic as well, possibly doing the weirdest **** they didn't get to do before they die too.
With that said, I don't think there's reason to be scared about flying. People are just more scared of that than say, driving in a highway or in a city with ****ty drivers because if there is an accident, they know they can't do anything about it - it's outside their control. And then there's also the media factor - odds are, no car accident will get much exposure in the news but every plane accident is pretty much guaranteed to garner international attention.
According to statistics based on annual fatality numbers, you are 2000% more likely to die in a car accident than in a plane crash throughout your life. And even when we consider odds of fatalities per mile travelled, air travel is still safer than car travel by a factor of two.Go Canucks Go!

drowning would suck
being in a high rise building with an enormous inferno blazing knowing these are your last moments, and you can either jump to your death or die by fire. (think world trade centers)
other scary experiences that may or may not involve death would be coming face to face with a grizzly or wolf in the woods, intruder in your house with a gun
being in the virginia tech classroom where the shooter blocked and locked all the exits and then entered shooting anyone and everyone fuuuuuuuuuu....that moment wow..

None of the passengers would have had any idea what was going on, beyond the occasional buffet and movement similiar to turbulence. The aircraft maintained a nose-high attitude practically right down to impact. Just a very flat stall.
It doesn't enter a spin at all, it just develops horrendous wing drop because the opposite wing maintains lift production. A spin is a very specific aerodynamic manouvre and both wings have to be stalled.
If you were in freefall at terminal velocity you'd experience 1g. Very unlikely to happen though. More likely that the aircraft rotating and probably breaking up would cause massive acceleration and turning moments around rapidly changing centers of gravity - this is what would cause massive G loads.
No, it was most likely poor piloting. Low pass, semi-landing configuration, engines at idle and lack of consideration about spool time, low airspeed then late application of power.
It certainly won't 'freefall.'

Plane crash wouldn't be that bad.
You'd be relatively comfortable leading up to the crash (sitting in your chair, seatbelt on). You could also prepare mentally for death, but also try and think of ways to increase your chances for survival (i.e wrap a pillow around your head etc...wouldn't do much, but w/e).
As others have said, the worst part would be the other people screaming. I'd just throw on my ipod to some epic song, crank the volume to max, close my eyes and accept it lol."There is no such thing as the future; only the continuation of the present."
