Description

Surviving a plane crash is one thing, but cutting off your own arm to escape a boulder? Whole different level. In this follow-up episode, Shane and Duncan are back with more jaw-dropping true stories of survival against impossible odds.


First up: the haunting ordeal of the sailors of the USS Indianapolis, who were left floating in shark-infested waters after one of the worst naval disasters in U.S. history. And finally: Aaron Ralston’s infamous, grisly, panic-inducing solo hike gone wrong. 


These stories aren’t for the faint of heart, but they are 100% true. It’s human survival at its most extreme…again.
