* Several times in ''MassEffect'', with Shepard losing comm signal for extended periods, such as on Feros or during the final mission, with an agitated Joker calming considerably when Shepard finally gets through again.

* ''Stargate'' in general loves this trope.

** ''StargateSG1'' has O'Neill jumping an about-to-explode stargate through the Earth, with a scare about whether or not he was able to eject.

* In WesternAnimation/FindingNemo, although this exact phrase is never used, this example is certainly reminiscent of this trope. The following exchange occurs after Nemo, also known as Sharkbait, ''successfully'' jams the filter of the fish tank:

* In a more comedic example, happens several times in ''AHardDaysNight'' when TheBeatles get where they're supposed to be at the last minute. Only one or two of those were life-threatening. Also subverted once, when everyone starts reacting that way to them arriving in time for the final run-through--except there's only three of them...

* Parodied and Inverted in ''{{Discworld}}'' (as it is TheGrimReaper worrying about someone ''not'' dying):

---> '''Mission Control:''' That's affirmative. You're the best ones to know.
* In the movie ''{{War Games}}'', the folks at NORAD know that if the sensors are correct, various bases have just been nuked, and the delay before the answer to 'Are you still on?' comes back is pretty long...

** Played relatively straight, though lampshaded, in ''[[Discworld/GuardsGuards Guards! Guards!]]'', where Captain Vimes hears a variant of this ("You were nearly a goner there, Captain"), from Nobby Nobbs, and thinks to himself that there could be worse things to hear after awakening from serious injury, such as "Did anyone get his number?" or "You two hold his hands behind his back."

* Occurs in ''The Right Stuff'', when Chuck Yeager is trying to break the sound barrier for the first time. After a lot of crashes that occurred when nearing Mach 1, the ground team mistake the Sonic Boom for an explosion. Then he calls them over the radio.

** In ''StargateAtlantis'', during [[StargateAtlantisS02E02TheIntruder one episode]] (where the Stargate crew are battling a sentient computer virus) it happens twice: once when the virus tries to vent the heroes into space as they try to shut down the fighter craft the virus was using to hide in, and once when they had to fight a virus-controlled craft within the corona of a nearby star.

** Subverted in ''StargateUniverse'', when they attempt to land a shuttle on a planet with extreme upper atmosphere wind speeds. There's the standard "Oh no, we're in trouble!" -> "Are you there?" -> silence -> "Yeah, we're fine." dialogue... then the shuttle loses power and crashes hard on the planet's surface.
