The Chase for the Mystery Twister
“Forcing himself to look down, he saw the surface of the water coming up fast. If they stayed glued to the truck, Joe knew they would be crushed against it when it hit. “Push off!” he yelled to Phil.
Fighting the G-forces, Phil and Joe pushed away from the truck, landing hard in the water a safe distance away from the twenty-ton vehicle. The impact of the landing stunned him, and he could see a wall of water explode around the truck.
Joe fought to stay conscious, searching the surface of the water for his friend. Phil was floating facedown about fifteen feet away. Putting Phil’s chin into the crook of his arm, Joe swam toward the side of the quarry, looking for a place to get out.
The walls of the quarry were sheer rock that rose straight up out of the water. Finding no shore or rock face to climb up onto, Joe hung on to a small jut in the cliff face and floated in the water.
Phil coughed up a mouthful of water. He was still stunned by the impact, but at least he was conscious.
