Join Emily Jones and Holly Worthington as they unravel the Hansons’ jaw-dropping escape from Guatemala’s Pacaya Volcano in December 2008. What started as a festive family hike to toast marshmallows turned into a nightmare when molten lava and jagged boulders rained down, forcing Kaitlyn, her heroic brothers Adrian and Phil, and the rest to flee a deadly riptide of chaos. From a six-foot lava wall to a refrigerator-sized rock missing them by inches to brotherly bravery saving lives, the family was bloodied but bonded forever.
