Special shout out to @timberdaniels7317 for your assistance on this story! Narration on version is in the Patreon. Check the description for the link. This story was definitely a hard one to do. Seeing how Turia has overcame what would destroy many is truly inspiring. Hard to argue that Michael didn't have a huge part to do with that. She would not have a family if not for her will to overcome. Thank you for your inspiring story Turia.
You have some awesome stories, I love seeing the places that are slightly different. Climates I don’t know how I’d manage. (I got hypothermia, only moderately, at the bottom of an English lake)
Wow, you covered this so well. I'm Australian and so proud of Turia, she's a national treasure and we love her to bits. She has continued to complete, including the Hawaiian Ironman.
Poor baby- but she battled back. Her boyfriend is extraordinary - good man!!!! Thank you for your words at the end. Though not as awful as this, many of us have battled back from injuries and diseases that threatened our lives. Your words of encouragement are just what people in those positions need to hear.
These people are incredible. Not only physically strong but more importantly mentally strong. It’s people like them that I look up to. True heroes. I wish them the best.
Two amazing people found each other, testing their love through unimaginable trials…. May all the hardships be behind them and may all their dreams come true! ❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe she made it. Her strength is incredbile, and I'm so glad her loved ones are there for her, and disgusted to hear people bullied her. I'm so happy for her, and impressed with how well her medical team team did repairing her body. She deserves the best. And what a hero that pilot was! Helicopter are often described as '30 thousand parts waiting to break'.
Wow what a hero! I got teary eyed more than once watching this video and I have to say you've outdone yourself with this one. What an incredible example of strength, resilience, and a ton of other words. She and her husband are a beautiful example of true love, respect and I wish them and their family all the best this life has to offer them.💓🙏 May none of us never ever ever have to use any of the helpful advice you give at the end of each video, although I have learned a lot from watching them. Thanks for all your hard work and educating us as well as telling jaw dropping stories 🙏 Come on 100K!!!!
What an amazing young woman and Michael's devotion is above and beyond. I wish them a bright, happy future. Bless the medical professionals for the miracles they wrought for her. The race organizers deserve whatever legal and financial punishment that can be meted out.
Sure needed to hear a story about the glory of triumph with grace! Truia's will of strength and Michael's love and support along with your eloquent words of wisdom gives me renewed hope, gives hope to all. Thanks OD for another great story; lessons are learned!
Unbelievable!! Holy Smokes dude! You just made this 64 year old cry! What an amazing woman!!❤❤ Thank you for sharing this inspiring story! I knew subscribing to this channel was a good idea!!
Turia and Michael are what real superheroes are! As an ultrarunner I'm impressed that you've described ultrarunning to a tee! Well done! I love our sport, and knowing her toughness and resilience helps me keep going even on my hardest runs and races. I love her!
Turia & Michael are 2 outstanding people. Also all the hundreds of others who helped them. It’s like they have something different & outstanding. A super overcoming gift. What a tremendous victory. God bless them always.🙏♥️
No problem! There are times I miss it and I feel bad for you all. But it's always something I focus on when I'm writing the script to use both systems. Thanks!
Good morning JR! Excellent content as always! Turia's story is incredible! She is such an inspiring woman and I'm so glad she made it through her ordeal in the fire and survived! Have a good weekend!
It was infuriating to hear about the lack of precautions by the event organizers, and then to listen to them stubbornly refuse to accept any responsibility for the outcome. How did they justify their callous lack of concern for runners?
It seriously is. It really hard to understand how they could not see the dangers ahead. Even a hint of a fire near the rece should be grounds to call it off.
Was a good story, but I still think the hot air ballon one was my favorite. Saying that, there is a survival story, napa valley to SF surviving in a runaway balloon.
Been following this story from day one.. a true testament to the human spirit for everyone involved. On my worst days I often think about Turia’s ordeal for strength to press on.
I read her book. It was awesome but you forgot to add some big things. Shes also gone on to do other marathons and even competed in the Hawaiian grueling marathon.
How anyone could be so heartless as to feel the need to comment or bully a survivor of a horrible event is beyond me. Those people who did that to her are true monsters 😣 Fire is so devastating. I am so glad she seems to have been able to achieve a happy life and that she had someone special by her side every step of the way.
By the right people by your side, you can go from nothing to hero . I mean nothing means not by knowledge but money, low confidence, negativity . Go from disaster to heaven
I asked this same question. But I don't think it was out of cowardice. It was a quick decision to run. And men have different thinking than women and probably factored in to that quick decision to run towards danger to survive. None of them had any ties to the woman besides Hal and Kate, but they were just friends from what I understand. Whatever the case, they made the right decision to save themselves. I can't imagine they didn't implore them to run with them. Only so much you can do in that short of time.
What stuns me is how many (ok especially female) didn’t do sport at school, but in the adult sport world excelled. And how sports people, when things go wrong can either crash and publicly fail, or take the challenge.
Statistics say that men are more likely to abandon a sick or injured partner. I was surprised that this guy stayed with her, not because of her, but because he is a man and those statistics.

@@outdoordisasters I know myself well and don't believe I have it, or even ever had it in me to pull off that recovery.

This is by far the best survival story you have ever told. Amazing.
Wow thank you!

The story and narration makes this one the best yet!
Another solid effort Mr. Outdoors Disaster Dude!!
🙏🙏🙏
Wow! FIGHT ON! Yes, she was a beautiful lady before the tragedy. AND SHE STILL IS! Michael is a real man!
Amazing story. Turia is an incredible example of resilience..This was one of the best stories you've told.

Ohh I adore Turia. She’s such a great person 😊
What an amazing young woman and Michael's devotion is above and beyond. I wish them a bright, happy future. Bless the medical professionals for the miracles they wrought for her.

You ultramarathoners are badasses. Thank you!
I’d say this is the best video you’ve ever put out. Found it very inspiring.
That man really, really loved Turia. The most pure love ever ❤❤
Soulmates really do exist.

Good evening J.R. Thanks a bunch for this amazing story!! 🌷 I always look forward to your videos!! 🌹
Thank you for explaining it in kilometers. Im in South Africa. one of the reasons I appreciate your channel.
No problem! There are times I miss it and I feel bad for you all. But it's always something I focus on when I'm writing the script to use both systems. Thanks!
Pure love of Michael and all saviors❤
Michael was dropped down from Heaven for Turia
Amazing. Great job showing Turia's experience, but also she is a whole person.
Exactly. The aftermath was just as important. That's a survival story in itself.
Astonishing sad, love, and inspirational story. All in one.
Well done.
She is a brave lady and the boyfriend truely loves her. They both are heroes.
Good morning JR!
Excellent content as always! Turia's story is incredible! She is such an inspiring woman and I'm so glad she made it through her ordeal in the fire and survived! Have a good weekend!
She really is. Thank you so much for all you help!
@@outdoordisasters you're very welcome my friend!
Lucky to have such a good man that stuck by her. Testament to who she was/is as well as himself.
Turia is blessed here, as is he
For all its beauty and splendour
Yikes 😳!! Not like the marathon is hard enough…. but wow!!
Great and touching story.
Amazing Video as Always!!! Now I need to go wipe my tears!!!! 💦
Tragedy aside this was an awesome story.. and such a beautiful family ❤❤❤

@@outdoordisasters It's the motto of most businesses and many politicians: Deny, deny, deny.
@@KingoftheJuice18so true
Hopefully there are multiple lawsuits.
But running was a choice..
You go girl! Always remember it's what's on the inside that counts!
Outstanding story!
Amazing love story
Yey new episode!
Was a good story, but I still think the hot air ballon one was my favorite.
Saying that, there is a survival story, napa valley to SF surviving in a runaway balloon.
Been following this story from day one.. a true testament to the human spirit for everyone involved. On my worst days I often think about Turia’s ordeal for strength to press on.
What a brave woman and what a loving man Like the heart of God ❤
How is it "brave" to be in a fire?
This was such an amazing story of tragedy & Triumph!! Michael wins for best bf ever!! ❤❤❤
Great one O D sorry for what they went through hope they doing well❤️❤️😘
The endurance level of human beings is insane, the fact that a body and mind could take on that much trauma and survive is outstanding.
30 wildfires in the area. What could go wrong? Derrrrp.
❤ Turia is one of the toughest aussies out there. Aussie bushfires are hell on earth.
We ❤ Turia!
Started with a triathlon or two wasn’t sure, signed up for a 100km ultra run well that escalated quickly!
Beautiful
I read her book. It was awesome but you forgot to add some big things. Shes also gone on to do other marathons and even competed in the Hawaiian grueling marathon.
I saw a talk with this Amazing women. She is an inspiration to this world
Michael could have come up with dozens of excuses to move on. His commitment should make anyone who themselves filed for divorce think again of why.
How anyone could be so heartless as to feel the need to comment or bully a survivor of a horrible event is beyond me. Those people who did that to her are true monsters 😣 Fire is so devastating. I am so glad she seems to have been able to achieve a happy life and that she had someone special by her side every step of the way.
Yeah. Welcome to trump and all his fans.
Turia is a heroine.
wow .........speechless ...... incredible example of love and determination .......John 3;16
Wow.. 👏
A brave lady and a credit to society.
How is it "brave" to be in a fire?
@riabright2815 To pull through after her injuries are brave.
What a strong woman.
Wow!
Yeah that's disturbing! Poor thing!
horrible tragedy. i know the gibb and the area well.. its an extreme and challenging place, even if you are well prepared.
Holy Cow! That is an impressive woman and couple.
I have a one year old daughter. I can only hope she's lucky enough to have a man like Michael to love her when she grows up.
What kind of monster would bully someone who was a burn victim?
A very sad and pathetic person
How in the world can they allow a run in a place where this can happen ???
What is this salty discharge coming from my eyes?
Same here 😭😭😭😭😭😭

You're still beautiful don't let anyone tell you any different ❤
Organisers and state authority should have been watching, being alert and responding. They failed
Typical event organizers all about profit. Not about safety.
All businesses.
By the right people by your side, you can go from nothing to hero . I mean nothing means not by knowledge but money, low confidence, negativity . Go from disaster to heaven
Does Michael have a brother?
Kunnanara is not pronounced kooonanooora it’s U as in up
Amazing beautiful woman! ❤
Why did those men leave the women behind?

Alex give me "Survival" for $500.
What stuns me is how many (ok especially female) didn’t do sport at school, but in the adult sport world excelled. And how sports people, when things go wrong can either crash and publicly fail, or take the challenge.
This voice sounds a little different- is this a new narrator?
Nope. Still here!
Let's take a poll. Who thinks that she would have stayed by his side if the same thing had happened to him and not her?
I do.
Whatever your hurt is: have the balls to be angry at who attacked you. Stop spraying your blame on others.
Statistics say that men are more likely to abandon a sick or injured partner. I was surprised that this guy stayed with her, not because of her, but because he is a man and those statistics.
@@Enough.Said. BS. You are a liar.
Talk about blackface am I right? How insensitive.

Unbelievable Strong 💪
what an amazing recovery I'm so happy for her and her family
