It depends...What if you were on a flight to see your family, on a single passenger flight -ie- only you and the pilot (no co-pilot).
Perhaps the other with you meant to commit suicide without your knowledge.
Or, they weren't even suicidal, who knows? Maybe they were somehow or other essentially 'deranged', or, maniacal, rather perhaps even freakishly 'sane' and fully cognizant or what they were doing, but for whatever reason (or for no reason, but whim, or who knows what?) had some highly peculiar penchant which only activated under the most rarefied of conditions - and - 'the stars aligned' in that respect, on the day you were the 1 and only passenger, for whatever reason - or - they desired to cause harm/murder whomever happened to be on said flight that day, regardless of whomever the individual might've been.
Maybe - to do so just to do it - With good reason (if that's even possible) or ~ without any discernible reason, Mmm'kay?
Let's say said person, aka, 'The Pilot' was like something of the above or otherwise close to something like it.
...then, btw, you were able to learn, discern as an irrefutable fact they had done so. either with or without their admittance or 'confession' of their unwholesome-action - and - Upon recognizing the situation as such, prompted them questions about it, and, did so that they gave nothing of a note of even a flicker of an ember's tip's very tippity most toppity of a lick worth of detectable remorse or guilt or conscience for doing so?
While you literally [say, idk, by accident] caught them midact whilst doing so 'red-handed' so to speak - intentionally & maliciously sabotaging the plane for your demise? Either: with or without their own as intentional too? Same'ish, more or less...
Despite all of the above, what if after conversation you'd learned they're ~ (despite the imminent reality of what's occurring closing in fast by the minute/second) ~ an otherwise not insane, persay, nor were they intellectually 'unable' or something to that effect?
Understanding of what they'd done. Who knows? Maybe simply they desired to hurt someone and or kill them like so ~ and that someone just... happens to be you, and, now you both happen to be together going along for the ride of a lifetime too? (very bad pun, very much intended)
Would you still embrace them if any in each of all the above cases regardless of however one might rationalize and combine them so?
Ik, Ik... I'm playing the ol' devil's advocate role here, but hey, it's a hypothetical - and - sometimes it isn't, at least not for some. People can and do find themselves in all sorts of weirdly bizarre, uncalled for, and unlucky a.f. type situations in life sometimes. So yeah, there's that. 
Now that all that b.s. is out of the way... I put it aside my horns and join humanity and try to maybe share something more in line with my actual person.
I think, *depending on how exactly* on what transpires -before, during, and after learning *they've (ie - said trusty ol' meanie pilot) ~ sabotaged the plane to harm/kill? In effect, knowingly taking your life down along with it, there still might - m a y b e - depending on how things play out while time's still ticking that...
It is Tricksy! Sure, maybe I want to embrace the other, personally, depending on the real actual circumstance in the moment-to-moment just up until the end approaching like if light itself were coiling/charging itself up before just before bursting out at max speed...well, since it is light...I guess...'light speed'. 
What if they 'Other' [btw, I'm no longer referring/talking about Mr. Meanie Pilot Head] did not want to hug and or embrace you in any kind of way physical whatsoever at all?
Again, tricksy, potentially anyway. 
Anyways...forgetting about all the above, overall? Insofar as your hypothetical goes? I tend to agree with you on that front in general I suppose.
I think I would more than likely probably go for the embrace. Then again... I'm like all in big time on a lil love, gnome saying? 
I would definitely rather embrace, or, meditate in closing in on the last word written upon the very last page of one's lifetime before the book closes for good, so to speak.
If I could 'have it my way', heh, then I'd like for both an embrace of sorts, and, go out fully in the moment insofar as possible, if each were potentially both equally possible at the same time.
If it were with someone I had already had developed a mutual relationship for and we each cared for one another (ex. family, friends, etc) ~ then it might depend on them.
Alone though? If nothing could truly be done about it to change my fate? Then that's that.
I would want to go out by going being as naturally as can be within the moment as deeply as can possibly be under such circumstances, fully emptied within, and all around awareness of the moment itself encompassing inwardly flowing out and all around until the very end.
Preferably in a certain posture, if possible. For all I know I might be thrown around hitting walls every other second the whole way down - which could change things, lmao.
But...if...if enabled of the conditions to be able to sit, lie down, relatively still or preferably perhaps...'floating'? (free falling ~ resembling 'close enough to ~'0'~grav ' [maybe, at least, for a time anyways]
Insofar as one could while in a possibly with various degrees of intense turbulence via the tub of metal now hurtling/falling through the atmosphere to the Earth's surface?
~ primally zazen'd - all natural - nondualized - Like it were literally the best thing in the entire world ever. 
I was foolishly dumb and a bit too arrogant and brave once (while relatively much younger) enough to do something similar (albeit alone/solo) while during the middle of a mighty hurricane.
To say the least - it was some kind of something, yerp. Pls, don't emulate, it was sheer, pure, dumb, stupid luck that nothing happened gruesomely horrendous befell me at the time. Testing one's mettle while simultaneously also doing something extreme to become more better acquainted with less familiar parts, processes, and responses [and their range of efx, etc] while under extreme duress, as per made available via our being's brain, plus, for *hopefully* obtaining some insight as to the body & bodily operations too - which I think, in general, are good things to test out and do so well - Imhoe.
Although...(at least) One...thing I would cap all this hoopla, chest thumping, foolishness off with is: There are much wiser & smarter ways to achieve similar effects/results with respect to getting to 'know oneself'. Than say, doing the above - So, generally speaking - the possibilities are near-endless as to other ways...without endangering one's very own life in process. ...
