1. Two climbers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, left their base camp by a lake and started 20
climbing the north face of a mountain called Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. This climb
was incredibly dangerous but the two men were experienced climbers and physically fit. On
Day 1, the weather was good and the climb began well. At night they made a snow cave and
slept on the side of the mountain.
Three days later, after some very difficult climbing and bad weather, the two men stood
at the summit. Unfortunately, the weather was getting worse so they didn‟t stay long. As they
were going down a mountain ridge, a disaster happened. Simpson fell and broke his knee.
Quickly, Yates tied a rope to himself and then to his friend. He began lowering Simpson down
the mountain and, for hours and hours, Yates helped Simpson get down the mountain. They
were getting close to the glacier at the bottom of the mountain but suddenly Simpson slipped.
This time he went over the edge of a cliff. He was hanging in mid-air. Simpson shouted up to
Yates, but the wind was blowing loudly and Yates couldn‟t hear him.

2. The Case of the Hot Coals in The Sand 20

One day during a summer camping trip, Katherine Pearson and her family stopped at the
Inn at Watervale on Lake Michigan to hang out at the resort‟s private beach. The beach is
typically reserved for paying guests, but the inn‟s owner, Dori Turner, had worked with
Pearson on a conservation project and had given her an open invitation to use it for free.
Pearson and her husband relaxed on the beach towels and read while their daughter, Sophie,
played in the sand nearby with her friend Bailey Ann Marie Nobel, who‟d come along for the
weekend. The two ten-year-olds had been playing for about an hour when, all of a sudden,
Pearson heard one of the girls scream. “I looked to my left, and Bailey was rolling around in the
sand,” she later explained. As she ran toward the child, Pearson called out, “Did you get
stung?” Bailey yelled back, “I stepped in hot coals!”
Fires are fairly common on this Michigan beach. The inn‟s staff placed protective fire
rings to contain blazes, but individual patrons would often start their own. What’s more,
instead of using water to extinguish those fires, as the inn requested, people would simply toss
sand on the flames, which often lest embers buried and hidden from view. Bailey had stepped
on some of those hidden coals.
When Pearson saw Bailey‟s foot, she thought it “looked horrible.” She immediately took
the child to the lake, put her foot in the water, and called 911. The hospital later determined
that Bailey had suffered second-degree burns plus one third-second-degree burns plus one
third-degree burh the size of an eraser on her left foot.

Ancient Swimmers
The elusive fish has been found along the eastern coast of Africa as well as
Indonesia. The largest known group – 300 or so – lives near the island nation of
Comoros. The expedition team made 21 dives to depths of 300 to 400 feet in South
Africa‟s Sodwana Bay area. Over the course of four weeks, they spotted coelacanths
only six times. The nocturnal animals hide in underwater caves by day, then venture
out at night, feeding on small, fish, squid, and octopus.

4. Swept Away 30
In storm-ravaged Santa Clarita, California, last March, Margarito Martinez approached
Road Runner Road carefully. A swollen creek had flooded it. Martinez, driving a Toyota SUV,
figured he‟d be OK. Big mistake.
Halfway across, the rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle, sweeping it off the road
washing it down a rocky streambed. It finally stopped a good 80 feet away, when the water
somehow lifted the SUV and wedged it in the ground at a 45-degree angle. Bruised, shaken,
and trapped inside with the muddy rising quickly, Martinez was certain he was going to die.
On the road right behind Martinez were a party-rental delivery worker and his niece.
They watched the horror unfold, and when Martinez‟s SUV came to rest in the middle of the
gushing creek, the man leaped to act. First, he grabbed heavy-duty straps from the back of his
van and secured the teetering SUV to nearby posts. Then he climbed atop Martinez‟s vehicle
and banged on a rear window with his fists. Frustrated, he returned to his niece and yelled,
“Give me a rock!”. Over and over he smashed the rock into the window, to no avail. “We were
scared that something else was going to come down and take the SUV, take him, take my
uncle,” Krystina Reyes, 27, told CBSLA.
Reyes‟ uncle shouted to Martinez to move away from the window. He braced himself –
right foot on the spare tire, left in the wheel well. He leaned back and threw the rock. Finally,
the glass broke and the man kicked in the remaining shards. Soon, a soaked Martinez
emerged through the window frame, and the men escaped to dry land.
