Ep 1. Dan & Danielle / James & David

Dan and Danielle and James and David are the two stories of survival that highlight the opening episode of season two of the gripping series, I Survived.

Dan and Danielle both decided to take a hike in the remote wilderness, but they soon found themselves in a nightmare situation when Dan fell and broke his leg. With no cell phone signal and no clear path back to civilization, the couple was forced to spend three grueling days and nights in the wilderness, with Dan's injury worsening from lack of medical attention. They had to endure frigid temperatures, almost no food or water, and the constant fear of being lost forever before they were rescued by the bravest of helicopter pilots. But the experience left them with a newfound respect for the power of nature and their own limits.

Meanwhile, James and David were out on the town when they were randomly targeted by a group of thugs looking for trouble. James was stabbed multiple times and left for dead while David was beaten unconscious and left to die in the street. But both of them miraculously survived their brutal attack. James had to undergo multiple surgeries to recover from his injuries, including the removal of one of his lungs, but he managed to pull through with the support of his family. David, meanwhile, had to learn to walk again after his brain stem was damaged in the attack. But, with the help of physical therapists and his loving partner, he fought through the aftermath of the assault to reclaim his life.

These two stories of endurance and resilience will inspire and move viewers as they witness the incredible triumphs of the human spirit in the face of unthinkable adversity. Whether you're a lover of the great outdoors or someone who enjoys the hustle and bustle of city life, this episode of I Survived will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering just how far you would be willing to go to survive.
