Things don’t always go as planned: Sometimes a drive in the mountains, or a swim in the ocean, suddenly turns into a dangerous situation. Other times it might be a medical emergency, or a family lost in a foreign country. These are the true stories of people helping people during the most pivotal moments in their lives.

Each episode also includes a conversation with an expert to provide added advice around crisis situations. Featured guests from the first two seasons include a psychologist, a search-and-rescue expert offering practical tips for surviving a blizzard when you are caught in a remote area, an emergency management expert and many more. Tell Me What Happened is brought to you by OnStar.

He knew he had to take control of the situation if Nicole was going to survive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We also talk to Tod Schimelpfenig, an instructor at the National Outdoor Leadership School since 1973, about how to treat burns in the wilderness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visit onstar.com/why-onstar to learn more about the benefits of being an OnStar Member and why Better Never Stops when you&#039;re connected by OnStar.&lt;/p&gt;<br />
