It sounds like something out of a movie: a fall from 33,000 feet in the air. Being tucked into exactly the right place so that when the Douglas DC 9 hit the ground, you were… protected. Saved. Surviving one of the most astonishing events in history. For when a plane falls out of the sky, it is known to be an unsurvivable event. Vesna Vulovic got to live through the experience, and become the Guinness world record holder for surviving the longest fall without a parachute.

It was a case of corruption, coercion, mistaken identity and desperation. When a business man approached small, struggling companies, offering their owners loans, those that accepted the help found themselves under a crippling payment, a life insurance policy hanging over their heads, and murder.

Jane Carver was wholly uninvolved, but her death came from being in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and liking the same activities as the intended target.

Setting off into nature on your own can be both exhilarating and terrifying. When you are on your own, the only person or being you have to look after is yourself. The worries fall away and responsibilities ebb, leaving the path for peace and quiet wide open. But what being on your own also means is if things go wrong, there is no one to lean on, no one to help you, and no one to call. On [May 22, 2018] Clair Nelson sets off into Joshua Tree National Park for an adventure on her own, and learns the hard way how badly things can go.

When a person is sentenced to death, you want to know that they are the one who committed the crime. You want no doubts to be had, no rock left unturned. Yet, when Suzanne was brutally murdered, that’s not what Sedley Alley got.

Broken bones. Open terrain. Unbreakable will. After the J Hawk went down in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Gina Panuzzi suffered from injuries that should have been fatal — The crash should have ended her life, and arguably if help was any later, this story would have a very different ending. Instead, it revealed Gina Panuzzi’s extraordinary will to survive.

On October 8, 1976, 39 student and their teacher climbed onto their bus ready for a surprise. Their teacher had kept their field trip designation a secret. Such a good secret that everyone was eager and on their toes. What they didn’t expect though, was the surprise that involved Trenny Gibson alone on the trail, and when she stepped off it, she vanished and was never seen again. It was what the search revealed that would make the day even stranger.

In 2021, Lars Schou and Sahir Enriquez set out for a routine climb up Open Book in the Grand Tetons. What started off as a great day, though, quickly became something different. The following rescue that ensued was far from simple, no matter how seamless it appeared from those below.

In 1982 an incredible survival of 2 young boys occurred high on the slopes of Mount Washington.

Hugh Herr and Jeff Batzer were bracing for a storm, not knowing they were about to be in for the fight of their lives. While they survived, the story didn’t go without the loss of life, the sacrifice that all rescuers make, resulted in one not coming home. This is the other side of the story.
