Life can change in a second, but
Jordan Anderson endured 20 terrifying seconds in a burning truck before he could bail out of it Oct. 1 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Count to 20.
Getting to 10 seems to take forever.
Yet that is only half the time in which Anderson felt flames that burned his eyelashes, cheeks, neck, right hand, right arm and both knees. The heat was so intense that the front windshield started to crack. Smoke enveloped the ****pit.
One thought rushed through Anderson’s mind.
“Whatever is on the other side of this window can’t be worse than what’s going to happen if I just sit here.”
Jordan Anderson details the 20 seconds he was in a burning truck at Talladega and shares the question he asked in the hospital.
