You are the only one in an airplane loaded with nuclear weapons crashing down. If you do nothing the airplane will crash into a big city killing hundreds of thousands. You can't land the plane but have the option to steer it away from the city, crashing it in the countryside which would still kill people but it would be way less.

If you don't pull the lever, do you still steer away the plane from the city? The two situations seems fairly equal to me.

yes i would steer the plane away.
the two cases are a bit different cause in the first one its like youre forcing someone
else to make the sacrifice for.. oh wait its the same.. damn you rick. haha

well anyway on your case i really would choose to steer the plane away.
atleast on your example i wouldnt have to live with the guilt of having to choose who gets to live or die.

so i would prefer to have less people die if im to die anyway
