Ep 3. Lenore / Steven / Ellen & Jim
- July 22, 2012
In season 9, episode 3 of I Survived, we follow the incredible stories of three survivors: Lenore, Steven, and Ellen & Jim.
Lenore was hiking in a remote area of New Mexico when she stumbled upon a man who had been attacked by a bear. As she tried to help the man, the bear turned on her, mauling her and leaving her with life-threatening injuries. Alone and without medical assistance, Lenore fought for her life for hours until she was finally rescued by a search and rescue team.
Steven was working as a truck driver in Texas when a group of men hijacked his truck and kidnapped him. Held captive for six days, Steven was brutally beaten and tortured until he was finally able to escape. With no food, water, or sense of direction, Steven set out on foot in the unforgiving West Texas desert, risking his life to find help.
Finally, Ellen and Jim were on a leisurely weekend boat trip in Georgia when their boat caught fire. Trapped and struggling to stay afloat, they were forced to jump ship and swim to the nearest landmass, a deserted island. With no resources or means of communication, the couple was stranded for two days before finally being rescued by a passing boat.
These incredible stories of survival highlight the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Through sheer determination and willpower, these survivors overcame insurmountable odds and lived to tell their tales.
