In case, after the crash, there is somebody who is really dying
(and who does not believe in MWI) you can also try this desperate
procedure.
- Measure on the dying subject, at the 'right' moment, that is to
  say when he is 'really' dying, the projection operator on the state
  'psi';
- There are chances that the state of the dying subject will become
  'psi';
- Then measure whether the resulting dying subject, in the state
  'psi', is alive or dead;
- There are chances it will turn out to be alive;
- You can also repeat this procedure more times, in case of necessity.
