<p>We're back with another serious injury episode. Sabrina Cognata is a writer and producer who has survived multiple traumatic events, including: falling off of the roof as a kid, being held hostage by a neighbor after a hail of gunfire as a kid, & nearly dying in a car wreck that broke her neck. She tells us how a traumatic brain injury changed her personality & beating death shaped her decisions after the accident. We learn how trauma can start to feel normal to you. Whats it like finding out you were as close to being paralyzed as possible? Being nearly scalped going thru the windshield, having to recover for months at home, & then being determined to live life as hard as you can. Sabrina is super honest & funny & there are more shootings, trips to jail, drugs, car crashes & legal advice in this episode.</p>

<p>We're joined by LA street journalist "Storm", the person behind the LA County Unleashed social media accounts providing live video of some of the craziest incidents on the LA streets any given night. We talk about the explosion of 911 incident content on social media, the role of Stringers and street jouranlists who show up to incidents, sometimes before the police arrive, film the incidents and sell the footage to the news stations. We talk about the dangers of showing up as a civilian to crime scenes, sometimes becoming part of the crime scene yourself. How firefighters decide whether or not to enter a dangerous scene without police. How one incident can lead to another, & what makes a person want to drive to dangerous active incidents just to inform their community. Then Storm and Danny recount a wild active shooter incident in Marina Del Rey that they were both on scene for & Storm was shot at multiple times, barely escaping the bullets and saving her dog, all while she was live on social media. </p>

He rose thru the department, working with a slew of LA Firefighting legends, & landing on the first LAFD Urban Search and Rescue task force.

Bubba is super cool & he also shares some memories of working with our dad back in the day & even calls him by his old nickname he hated. This is the episode youve been searching for. </p>
