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?

Episode Description:

Broadcasting from the high desert hills of Oregon, Sam Wilson returns with a chilling new chapter of the MOA True Crime series. In this gripping episode, Sam shifts focus from the Italian mafia to one of the most feared factions in New York’s criminal underworld — the Irish mob. Specifically, the spotlight falls on Jimmy Coonan, the cold-blooded leader of the Westies, whose reign over Hell’s Kitchen in the 1970s left a trail of terror, blood, and broken alliances.

Listeners are taken deep into the gritty streets of Manhattan’s West Side, exploring Coonan’s violent rise from a troubled youth to a ruthless mob boss hellbent on revenge against Mickey Spillane. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Sam paints a vivid portrait of a man whose thirst for power led to a brutal gang war and an uneasy alliance with the Italian mafia.

Blending historical insight, true crime analysis, and unflinching detail, this episode examines not only the life of Jimmy Coonan, but the brutal legacy of the Westies and the dark heart of organized crime in America.

Tune in, and prepare to walk the blood-stained streets of Hell’s Kitchen.

This week, Sam dives into the shocking case of a Wisconsin judge indicted for allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant escape ICE custody—an incident that sparked national headlines and polarized debate. From there, we travel to Whittier, California, where a random midday attack highlights the rising tension around homelessness and public safety.

Then it's off to South Carolina, where a bizarre and tragic kangaroo attack raises questions about human-wildlife interaction—and common sense. Sam also explores a controversial new law out of Montana banning lab-grown meat, and what it means for food safety and traditional agriculture.

As tornadoes rip through the Midwest leaving death and destruction in their wake, Sam delivers a powerful segment on real-world disaster preparedness. From shelf-stable food and water storage tips to lighting solutions and sanitation, this is a must-listen for anyone wanting to be ready when the lights go out.
