　　The 30 miles of steep roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers′hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46-year-old father of four, wasn′t expecting any trouble on the road last New Year′s Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine-year-old daughter Mia, four-old son Baylor, and nine-year-old neighbor Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.

　　The weather was fine-but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp U-turn at mile marker473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep ten-foot dam toward the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped toward the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.

　　There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upside-down car was filled with water. “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater,”remembers Andersen, a soft-spoken product development manager.“You′re thinking, is this how it′s all going to end？”
