Saved/escaped at the last moment occurances

[pannoni1]

This trope is typical of so much media, that I would like to see a good list on occurances in the OT/Next Mutation here, and is one of the reasons why I like the cartoons better than the comics. From the first six episodes alone we have:

TURTLE TRACKS:
-Turtles/April escape Security Services building at last second before getting drowned. (April's escape into the sewers does not count as she definately could have gotten up and ran around.)
ENTER THE SHREDDER:
-Turtles crack password before getting squished to death (happens again in the show I believe).
-Turtles destroy wall with Foot Clan missle before spike roller squishes/stabs them to death.
A THING ABOUT RATS:
-Turtles/April/Splinter escape April's apartment before getting burned to death/fall through floor.
(Interestingly, the first "failure" occured here where the Mouser Control Building collapsed on Michelangelo, but survived unscathed).
SHREDDER & SPLINTERED:
-Donatello/Leonardo escapes Krang's android body before it shrinks and crushes 'em to death
-Splinter unscrews screw, hits switch in Technodrome, frees himself from forcefield, grabs missle, runs and destroys Shredder's retromutagen gun before turning the turtles into baby-size creatures.
-Turtles escape Technodrome literally RIGHT before it gets sucked into Dimension X whereas when you first watch it, you think the turtles got sucked in, too!
RETURN OF THE SHREDDER:
-Leonardo frees Splinter right before Baxter's giant hand crushes and kills him.
