"I Survived...."

[Mendoza Line]

...on Biography channel. I love this show!

Anybody watch this? I just discovered it a couple months ago, but it's been on for 4 seasons. Two repeat episodes are on tonight. New season starts later this month.

Craziest survival stories you've ever heard! Amazing what some people have actually been through. Some of it sounds like a slasher film.

People commonly have to pretend to be dead hoping their attacker/torturer will quit. One girl had been raped in a field and shot in the back. She knew she should pretend to be dead, so she laid face down trying to hold her breath and not make a sound as the guy shot her in the back 2 more times to make sure she was dead. After he left, she crawled half a mile to find help.

A farmer was in the middle of nowhere with his hand caught in a grain harvester's gears, then it caught fire. He had to saw off his fingers and then his arm to escape.

Every story gets worse and worse, and as soon as you think the person's situation can't possibly get worse, that's when it gets worse.

No one watches this? Opinions?

I'm watching the episodes they're airing tonight. Crazy as hell! Can't believe what some people do to other people. I just don't see the pleasure in cutting people up, torturing, shooting, raping.

In one show, these three guys attacked this girl and threw battery acid in her face and all over her body...naturally she's disfigured for life. My question is, even if you're crazy enough to want to do that to someone, how do you find two other guys who also think that sounds like fun?

I have watched this show many times and it is greatness. And u are right about what people will do to stay alive. Some of those stories they tell are things I fear.

On a side note. Have u ever checked out locked up abroad? That show is sort of like it but different stories
