S1 Recap, Part 2!

As Season 2 draws near, it's cool to look back on the insane stories we discussed in Season 1.

In episode 6 we followed an 11-year-old boy as he dangerously ventured down a mountain after a plane crash. Next, we explored the incredible resilience of Bethany Hamilton: The Soul Surfer. Then we had to wrap our heads around the science-baffling feat for Harrison Okene: the man trapped underwater. The story of James and Jennifer Stolpa also gripped us as we shared their struggle to survive. And finally, we finished S1 off with the miraculous survival story of Yossi Ghinsberg in the Amazon Jungle.

These stories have amazed, triggered, and shocked us.

Let us know in the comments what your favourite episodes have been and why!

S1 Recap!

As Season 2 draws near, it's cool to look back on the insane stories we discussed in Season 1.

Starting with Joe and Simon as they attempted to navigate Siula Grande which almost killed them both, to the incredible Thai cave rescue that received global coverage. From the death-defying story of Dr. Anna Bågenholm, to the unbelievable story of the Astronauts aboard Apollo 13. And who could forget the cringe-worthy endeavour of Mauro Prosperi in the Sahara Dessert? These stories have amazed, triggered, and shocked us.

Olivia delves deep into an engrossing story this week, wanting to narrate just exactly how our poor hero fell victim to another of Mother Nature's gifts: The Sahara Dessert.
