Colorado Jeep Crash, Beirut Explosion and Other Heart Stopping Moments of 2020

Though it may be remembered as the year of the Coronavirus, 2020 had a number of heart-stopping incidents that had nothing to do with the pandemic. In October, a jeep came crashing down a mountain pass, right in front of an oncoming vehicle. In February, a gymnastics coach became an instant hero as he caught a 9 year old competitor just before she suffered a terrible fall. And in July, two children in France fell several stories from a burning building into the arms of rescuers.
