We didn't even know if he was still alive at first because he had landed face down. Face down on the spikes. They were protruding from different parts of him. One had gone straight through his wrist, another out of his leg, and one straight through the right of his rib cage. Honestly, he, Chris looked like he was crucified. Crucified face down.

Once the initial shock had worn off, Tyler and Brody climbed very quickly, but carefully down into the hole, trying to push their way through the metal spikes that repelled them from getting to Chris. But by the time they did, it didn't take long for them or us to realize Chris wasn't breathing. One of the spikes had gone through his throat.

For as long as I live, I will never be able to forget that image, of looking down into the hole and seeing Chris's lifeless, impaled body just lying there on top of those spikes. It looked like someone had toppled over an idol, an idol of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, when he was on the cross.

What made this whole situation far worse was that when Aaron, Sophie, Steve, and Miles catch up to us, instead of being grieved or even shocked, Miles leans over the trap hole and instantly begins to film. Tyler and Brody, upon seeing this, were furious. Carelessly clawing their way out of the hole, they yell and scream after him. What the hell do you think you're doing? Put the damn camera away.

That's our friend. Climbing back onto the surface, Tyler and Brody try to grab Miles' camera from him, and when he wouldn't let go, Tyler aggressively rips it from his hands. Coming to Miles' aid, Aaron shouts back at them. Leave him alone! This is a documentary! Without even a second thought, Brody hits Aaron square in the face, breaking his glasses and knocking him down.

Even though we were both still in extreme shock, hyperventilating over what just happened minutes earlier, Haley and I tried our best to keep the peace. Haley dragging Brody away, while I basically threw myself in front of Tyler. Once all of the commotion had died down, Tyler announced to everyone, that's it, we're getting out of here. And by we, he meant the four of us.

Grabbing me protectively by the arm, Tyler pulls me away with him, while Brody takes Haley, and we all head back towards the trail, in the direction we came. Thinking I would never see Sophie or the others again, I then hear behind us, if you insist on going back, just watch out for mines. Mines. Stopping in our tracks, Brody and Tyler turned to ask what the heck Aaron is talking about.

16% of Vietnam is still contaminated by landmines and other explosives. 600,000 at least. They could literally be anywhere. Even with a potentially broken nose, Aaron could not help himself when it came to educating and patronizing others. "'And you're only telling us this now?' said Tyler." We're in the middle of the damn jungle. Why the hell didn't you say something before?

Would you have come with us if we did? Besides, who comes to Vietnam and doesn't fact check all the dangers? I thought you were travelers. It goes without saying, but we headed back without them. For Tyler, Brody, and even Haley, their feeling was that if those four maniacs wanted to keep risking their lives for a stupid documentary, they could.

We were getting out of here, and once we did, we would go straight to the authorities so they could find and retrieve Chris's body. We had to leave him there. We had to leave him inside the trap, but we made sure he was fully covered and no scavengers could get to him. Once we did that, we were out of there."
