About this episode

What I Survived explores extraordinary true stories of survival from extreme situations.

What I Survived explores the extraordinary true stories of people who survived the unthinkable. Each story takes you back to who these people were  before  everything changed, then inside the moment their lives were pushed to the edge, shipwrecked at sea for weeks, held captive by terrorists, falling 15,000 feet from a plane after a parachute failure, and other extreme, life-or-death situations. Through first-hand accounts, we follow the ordeal as it happened, the decisions made under unimaginable pressure, and the will it took to survive. Then what came after, the physical and psychological recovery, and the process of rebuilding a life forever altered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
