People: Amazing Stories of Survival by Editors of People Magazine

Krishna Thompson saw the fin, felt the chomp and felt himself being pulled underwater. His first thought? I cant believe theres a shark on my leg! Held hostage by a bank robber, Paul Hardy grabbed the gun and fought for his life (He started biting my hand and arm; money was flying everywhere). Peter Beard couldnt outrun a stampeding elephant (Her tusk went right through my thigh), Marc Dupavillions sloop was no match for a 70-foot wave (The boat just lifted out of the water and got slammed on its side) Edna Wilks wishes she hadnt gone swimming that night in Florida (I saw the alligators head; I didnt have time to scream). From shark bites and lightning strikes to tidal waves, tornadoes, a deadly Mount Everest blizzard, a mountain lion attack, Pearl Harbor, the Titanic and a 14,000-foot fall without a parachute, PEOPLEs Amazing Stories of Survival presents the best I-was-there, heres-what-it-felt-like, I-cant-believe-I-lived-through-it tales from the magazines first thirty years.
