On a beautiful September day in Duqoin, Illinois, Jessica Ervin was going for her final jump in a collegiate water-skiing competition. When she hit the top of the 5-foot ramp, everything went wrong.

On February 2, 2002 in Columbus, Ohio, officers Todd Bush and Dawn Yoder were working routine duty, helping a stopped motorist. After talking with the motorist, Todd started back to his cruiser. What he didnÍt realize was that he was being stalked. Surveillance video shot from a block away shows a grey Volvo pulling out of its space and heading directly towards him.

Ken Berg loved to jump. HeÍd done it more than 1,300 times, often wearing a helmet camera to record the daring antics of his mid-air acrobatic buddies. In September 2001, Ken boarded a plane that would take him, and a group of fellow jumpers, over farmland near Charleston, South Carolina. After a 35 second freefall, traveling at 120 miles per hour, Ken went to open his parachute and knew he was in immediate trouble.

On March 3, 2001, the sky in Zepher Hills, Florida was too overcast for beginning skydivers to jump, so a few sky diving instructors decided to do some practice.

To do so, they must be in perfect position under their parachute.

September 11, 2001. At the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, many huddled around their televisions and watched in horror as two hijacked airliners crashed into the World Trade Towers in New York. Then, at 9:43 am, a Boeing 757 jetliner slammed into the southwest wall of the Pentagon, exploding on impact and creating a force field of hurtling debris. It leveled everything in its way, drenching a 300-foot wide path with flaming jet fuel.

23-year-old Seth Enslow had a worldwide reputation for his daring jumps. Crash after crash, he always managed to get up, and get right back on his bike.

22 year old Ezra Bias was winding up his day as a driver for Pizza Pipeline in Spokane, Washington.
