Andy Mochan plunged 15 stories into a burning sea of oil and debris, knowing he would survive only 20 minutes in the freezing water. Why did Andy jump? He chose uncertain death over certain death. The pain of his “current reality” was too great. He jumped because he had to, not because he wanted to. Based on Daryl Conner, Managing at the Speed of Change, 1992.
