S3 Ep23: John & Jean - "I Don't Want My Family to Die"
About this episode
John and Jean Silverwood recount their harrowing experience of a catamaran accident in the South Pacific and the desperate measures they took to save their family.
When their catamaran struck a reef in the middle of the South Pacific, John and Jean Silverwood had minutes to save their four children — and each other. As the boat was breaking up from smashing again and again into the reef, the mast crashed down on John's leg, severing it.
