The way I've heard it most commonly used it is as a synonym for horrified or stunned in relation to another's actions.

It means scared to death.

It's been 43 years or so, I wonder if any of the relatives are still alive. My sister in law ran in Sayre about that time, but I'm not sure I want to know bad enough to half to talk to her.

My wife said they were talking about a bridge being close by on channel 4. I thought there was one, an old long wooden bridge if I remember right.

You could be off those in a heart beat,

It means scared to death.

I've usually heard it applied to a mother's reaction to something done by her child--she's not afraid, but she's so shocked and embarrassed by the action that she doesn't know what to do for a moment.

The news report I heard this morning said that the father of one of the victims (presumably in the Camaro) had died a few years ago, but I didn't have the time to watch the whole thing.
