Speaker 1 (00:00):
They finally found the wife trapped under a log jam,
completely submerged and unconscious beneath the water.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We didn't know how long they've been in my thought. Unfortunately,
here's two dead bodies.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
This is Miracles in the news.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Welcome back to the Miracle Files. Holly keeps trying to
tell me what this story is about, and I don't
want her too because I want to listen with you guys.
But all I know is that it has something to
do with the cliff, which I am absolutely terrified of heights.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
So let's hear it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So I've been so excited for this one, and you'll
see why. But the story starts in Glacier National Park.
If you know where that is.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I don't remember. I don't know. Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's kind of close to where we grew up, but
no big deal.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
So Glacier is located in northwestern Montana and it runs
along the Canadian.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Or Okay, okay, okay, my friend Mindy goes there every summer.
I forget I know where it is now I know, Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's absolutely beautiful and has about one million acres of
rugged wilderness. So in early July, of twenty twenty five,
a family from Florida that consisted of a father, a mother,
their teenage son, and I.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Believe his older sister.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
They were hiking through the park along a large gorge
called Avalanche Creek Gorge.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Okay, yeah, if.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You know what a gorge is, it's like a smaller,
steeper canyon kind of. It's like carved out by a
river or creek. And Avalanche Gorge is gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
No, good one, nice one, No, seriously.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It's this icy blue creek full of small waterfalls that
cascade over these moss covered boulders. It's surrounded by steep
rock walls that are covered in green poiliage, so you know,
little treacherous as well. And there's a popular hiking trail
that follows along the gorge up to Avalanche Lake.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Sounds beautiful.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
You're making me want to go there, right, Yeah, I
don't know where the story's head is, so.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, just wait.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So on this particular day, this family of four backed
up to the gorge. They're standing on the edge of
the gorge to take a selfie of themselves, and you know,
these cliffs are like about thirty feet high, and they
were smiling up at the camera, you know, getting ready
for that amazing shot they're going.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
To take it. The family and the.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Articles I read weren't exactly clear on this, but I
from what I gather, was probably the mom that got
too close to the edge and fell.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
There were a group of four who were visiting the
park from Florida, and they were taking pictures on the
rocks above Avalanche Gorge when one person slipped and fell in.
Two of the others tried to help but ended up
falling in as well.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oh my gosh. Okay, so now there's three people.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, they have fallen or jumped off the cliff, right,
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And it's not like a cliff that's so high that
you're like guaranteed to die if you fall off a bit.
But the problem is there's this rushing water below the cliff,
and the current is so fast moving that multiple people
have died here. So the mother and father were swept
away by the current, and their teenage son tried to
go in after them, and he was struggling as well,
(03:23):
but he was able to pull himself up onto a
fallen tree that hung above the water. But you can
see in the video footage it's absolutely heartbreaking. This young
man looks so heartsick. Is he's sitting there on this
fallen tree, and I'm sure he's thinking that he has
just watched his parents die.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
It's really sad. I mean, it's so heartbreaking.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
He obviously jumped in because he wanted to save his parents.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
But you can't contend with mother nature, like mother nature
will always win.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, and this water wasn't just fast moving, but it
was super cold, so there wasn't really anything this poor
young man could do beside I'd save himself.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
But his sister was the only one that hadn't fallen in,
and as you can imagine, she's frantic at this point.
So at that very moment, two brothers, Mike and Tommy Skidmore,
were also hiking the trail with their families, and they
saw this frantic girl and she's pointing at the creek
and she's asking for help. So Mike, Tommy, and their
(04:25):
nephew instantly jump into the water and it's about chest
high freezing just I mean, this is really cold water.
But they begin searching for the parents, who were nowhere
to be seen. They finally found the wife trapped under
a logjam, completely submerged and unconscious beneath the water. They
pulled her out, and Tommy happens to be a doctor,
(04:47):
so he started doing CPR on her right away, but
the father was still in the water somewhere. So while
Tommy was doing CPR on the mother, Mike and his
nephew continued to search through the water for the father's body,
and they finally found his body, but it was some
some pretty crazy currents and it was trapped in her debris,
(05:07):
and so they were having a hard time getting his
body out. But fortunately there were some bystanders that came
and helped, and with all of the help they were
able to pull the father's body out and get his
body onto the shore.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Luckily, two other men has shown up and kind of
you know, held hands across the more shallow part of
the river. We're able to support my nephew and I
to get him up on the shore, and then I
started CPR on him right away. No pults, no breathing.
I mean, they were at that point, we didn't know
how long they'd been in Looking at him, I thought, unfortunately,
here his two dead bodies.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh my gosh, that is terrifying, especially for this young
girl who was watching both of her parents get pulled
from the water unconscious, Like there's.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Nothing worse in that. Yeah, so sad and so scary. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But something that's kind of crazy cool about this story
is that Mike was a dentist. So we have Tommy,
who's a doctor. We've got Mike who's a dentist. They're
both CPR certified. So here you have two men who
are doing CPR simultaneously on these two complete strangers.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
The wife responded to CPR probably within the first minute,
started coughing and getting some you know, kind of guttural breaths.
It took a few minutes, probably three to five minutes
CPR to get him going.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Wow, these are such incredible men, because I am sure
they risk their lives going into the water for sure.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay, yeah, they're incredible.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
So tell me what is happening with the sun the team?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Okay, so if you're a call.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
He was actually clinging to his fallen tree down in
the gorge, so it took some time to get him out.
They had to actually wait until some first responders came,
and the first responders were peled down to him and
were able to rescue the sun.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Then all three were taken to Logan Health and and
they are all in stable condition.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Man, it's so crazy how in just the blink of
an eye things can change so fast, things can be
completely flipped upside down in tragic strikes.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
It's so true you never know when something like this
can happen.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
And obviously Mike and Tommy Skidmore and their nephew are
incredibly brave men. But to me, this rescue, yeah, the
missage for some reason, they didn't give us his name,
but anyway, nephew, you're awesome.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You did help.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But to me, this rescue feels more like divine intervention
than just luck.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I don't know, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, I think what makes this a miracle is obviously
these guys were right there able to find these bodies,
pull them out of the water, resuscitate.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Them in time. I mean, it wasn't just one.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Person either, it was two people, And it's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
You needed two people who were CPR trained, which you
just happen to have show up at that moment, who
are cool under pressure, and who got these people out immediately.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, it reminds me of our Enrique episode of where
he was also trapped into the water, and there were
also first responders there to help him, which just makes
me think, like, you know, these miracles seem so incredible,
but it's not like it just happens one time.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
God is performing miracles all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
How often do we hear that when something like this happens,
all these people who are CBR trained just happened to
be at the exact right spot at that exact moment,
happened to be Yeah, just a coincidence, right, Obviously we
don't believe that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
We believe that God puts these people there for a reason.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And something else I want to talk about. If you
all have listened to our other episodes of miracles in
the news, you know that we often give some helpful
tips so that you can avoid these dangerous situations yourselves.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
And the first one is don't take selfies on cliffs.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yes exactly. That's literally not just the first tip. That's
the only tip I have for you today. It's really
hard do it. Don't suit yourself in dangerous situations just
to take a photo.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Gosh, I have a friend who will go stand at
the top of a cliff, and every time she does
a headstand just so she can get a picture on
every cliff of her doing a headstand. And every time
I'm going to die, I'm like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
That is so scary and it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So I did a little research and it's estimated that
four hundred and eighty people have died from taking selfies.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Oh my gosh, and people do the dumbest things for
good pictures.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Seriously.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, this this stat is going to blow your mind.
More people die every year from taking selfies than shark attacks.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Wow, that's crazy, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
So I was actually working on this story last week
and then this weekend we went to Canyonlands National Park
and I have to tell you I almost had my
own stupid moment.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Okay, so dumb.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So my daughter Jessica and I were standing on the
edge of a cliff and getting a picture taken, and
I was like, selfie, Hey, you know would be cute
is if you jumped on my back and I gave
you a piggyback ride while a picture taken on the
edge of a cliff.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I don't know what I.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Was thinking, right anyway, So she jumps on my back
and she jumped really high and it knocked me over
and I fell and she fell with me. We have
like pictures of all of this because of course my daughter,
rather than helping us, my other daughter was like, let's
(10:43):
allus on camera.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So moron, what were you thinking? Allowed to say?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Moron?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You are absolutely allowed to say moron when I was
a moron.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Please do not, please do not do such dumb things
for a selfie.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I know it's not worth it, not worth it.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Save a life. Take less cool selfies. That's what we
want you to learn.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You'll be okay without that picture. Yes, you live.
Speaker 1 (11:09):

almost fall off a cliff, you can watch our YouTube video.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Them in time. I mean, it wasn't just one.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Person either, it was two people, And it's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
You needed two people who were CPR trained, which you
just happen to have show up at that moment, who
are cool under pressure, and who got these people out immediately.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, it reminds me of our Enrique episode of where
he was also trapped into the water, and there were
also first responders there to help him, which just makes
me think, like, you know, these miracles seem so incredible,
but it's not like it just happens one time.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
God is performing miracles all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
How often do we hear that when something like this happens,
all these people who are CBR trained just happened to
be at the exact right spot at that exact moment,
happened to be Yeah, just a coincidence, right, Obviously we
don't believe that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
We believe that God puts these people there for a reason.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And something else I want to talk about. If you
all have listened to our other episodes of miracles in
the news, you know that we often give some helpful
tips so that you can avoid these dangerous situations yourselves.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
And the first one is don't take selfies on cliffs.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yes exactly. That's literally not just the first tip. That's
the only tip I have for you today. It's really
hard do it. Don't suit yourself in dangerous situations just
to take a photo.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Gosh, I have a friend who will go stand at
the top of a cliff, and every time she does
a headstand just so she can get a picture on
every cliff of her doing a headstand. And every time
I'm going to die, I'm like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
That is so scary and it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So I did a little research and it's estimated that
four hundred and eighty people have died from taking selfies.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Oh my gosh, and people do the dumbest things for
good pictures.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Seriously.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, this this stat is going to blow your mind.
More people die every year from taking selfies than shark attacks.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Wow, that's crazy, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
So I was actually working on this story last week
and then this weekend we went to Canyonlands National Park
and I have to tell you I almost had my
own stupid moment.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Okay, so dumb.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So my daughter Jessica and I were standing on the
edge of a cliff and getting a picture taken, and
I was like, selfie, Hey, you know would be cute
is if you jumped on my back and I gave
you a piggyback ride while a picture taken on the
edge of a cliff.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I don't know what I.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Was thinking, right anyway, So she jumps on my back
and she jumped really high and it knocked me over
and I fell and she fell with me. We have
like pictures of all of this because of course my daughter,
rather than helping us, my other daughter was like, let's
(10:43):
allus on camera.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So moron, what were you thinking? Allowed to say?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Moron?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You are absolutely allowed to say moron when I was
a moron.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Please do not, please do not do such dumb things
for a selfie.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I know it's not worth it, not worth it.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Save a life. Take less cool selfies. That's what we
want you to learn.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You'll be okay without that picture. Yes, you live.
Speaker 1 (11:09):

almost fall off a cliff, you can watch our YouTube video.
