"Make It Out Alive" (M.O.A.)1 Juni 2025

Flesh Eating Criminal, LASIK Gone Wrong, and Wilderness Warnings

Coming at you from 4,200 feet up in the Oregon hills, Sam Wilson brings another intense, no-holds-barred edition of the Make It Out Alive (MOA) broadcast. This week’s episode delivers a whirlwind of bizarre and brutal headlines, gripping stories, and raw commentary.

First, Sam breaks down a shocking cannibal-style assault in Queens where a man on parole for attempted murder attacks a 9-year-old girl and bites off a cop's finger. Then, he dives into the savage beating of an off-duty rookie NYPD officer in the Bronx—and the tragic fallout when fear of media backlash kept him from drawing his gun.

From there, Sam explores the heartbreaking suicide of a young Pennsylvania police officer after a LASIK procedure went horribly wrong, shedding light on the little-known risks behind the common surgery. Next up, a harrowing rescue mission at Virginia’s Crabtree Falls ends in both heroism and tragedy after two hikers ignore a guardrail for the sake of a selfie.

The episode wraps with a powerful reality check on emergency preparedness. Sam critiques a recent FEMA survey that suggests Americans feel “ready” for disasters—and explains why mindset and hands-on experience matter more than just buying gear online.

Plus, you’ll hear Sam’s take on why serrated knives may be a survivalist’s secret weapon, and a surprising intermission featuring two street-smart porch cats: Dark Knight and Mr. Floofers.

It's a packed show—equal parts chaos, crime, caution, and common sense. As always, Sam asks the real question: Will you make it out alive?
