Buried in an Avalanche: How Tyson Survived

Wednesday, August 15, 2012 5:00AM

It's been just weeks since Tyson, Brandy and Bronson took a trip to ride their snowmobiles in Utah, which they had done many times before. Little did they know that this time, Tyson would end up buried in an avalanche for 23 minutes... and that Bronson would capture the avalanche and rescue on tape. 

Take a look...

The three did not escape unscathed. Both Bronson and Brandy talk about the emotional trauma of the event. 

Bronson says, "I walked over [to rescue Tyson] just scared to death, thinking, 'Am I going to find my friend dead? Am I going to have to try to revive him?' I didn't think there was any way that he was going to make it out of that. Twenty-three minutes is next to impossible." 

During the 23 minutes Tyson was buried, Brandy, mother of Tyson's 5-month-old son, wasn't sure their son would have his father in his life.

The three remember the incident with tears and smiles.

Your show today about daughters on drugs. My daughter is 34 and I have been dealing with this since she was 18. I have adopted her three girls. She has been in and out of prison. She was doing so well when she was sent to the halfway house and home confinement. She had a great job, sign up for school. Helping with her girls. On July 24, 2012 she was released and same day she was with the old friends. Has not been home since to see her girls. I have been there every step of the way. I'm at my end. She is smart and better than that. I wish she would realize people just use her.I need help.
