Death Valley is the hottest place on Earth. The intense heat sucks the air out of your lungs and scorches the bottoms of your feet. The human body is not made to survive in such an extreme place. Every year at least one person dies here.
It was in this blistering hot desert that three women became stranded on July 22, 2010. Seventeen-year-old Gina Cooper, her mother, Donna, and their friend Jenny Leung, 19, were lost with no phone service and very little water.
Their chances of survival were slim . . . and getting slimmer by the moment.

How could they survive?
