20/20: In an Instant

Children caught in a deadly tornado, a catastrophic car accident, a violent hostage crisis in a maternity ward. It can happen anywhere at any time. In an instant, life can change forever, and that moment will define who you are.

Returning for its second season, 20/20: In an Instant does more than just re-tell heart-pounding first-person accounts of the world's most harrowing tales of survival; it brings them to life with breathtaking dramatizations of the moments before and after life was forever changed. The powerful series features trials and triumphs from every angle and includes gripping first-person interviews with the people who lived to tell their stories, and those who were instrumental in helping them survive. These are the stories of ordinary people who have watched their lives flash before their eyes, stared almost certain death in the face and overcame it. What key decisions did they make to save their lives?

Ok so, first let me say I am so happy and thankful that the runner depicted in this episode is ok. I truly am. Praise God she survived. However, she come across as very selfish with Taz and I just had to point it out. After she sent him to get her help, in a DESERT, that SHE put him in, and he comes back after a few hours, she actually says NO, don't drink any of my water...I need that?!? Like he didn't? I don't get it. I know she was in an extremely serious medical crisis but she put him at risk by taking him into the desert alone in the first place and he was in need of water, too. Again, I'm thankful they're both fine and happy. I know she loves Taz but when she acted selfish toward him, it really bothered me.
