If I am on a plane and it is crashing, if I open the emergency hatch and wait until the plane is almost at the ground, and jump out at the last second for like two or three feet, will I still die? Because technically, it's just like skydiving with friends, but all of them die.

Depends on what you mean by crashing. Let's assume the plane is moving fast, almost straight down, and assuming the plane debris or impact doesn't hit you.
You will still die due to conservation of momentum. You still have mass, and you are still moving at the same velocity as the plane. You may seem to be standing still relative to the plane, but rest assured you are still moving just as fast as the plane. When you jump out of the plane, you still hit the ground just as fast. You will be crushed, and your brain will keep moving at the same speed until you hit the ground and your brain smashes into your skull at the same velocity.
