As an aquatic ecologist and host of the National Geographic Channel’s Monster Fish series, Zeb Hogan has spent more than a decade searching for and studying these increasingly endangered river titans. In this book, he teams up with award-winning journalist Stefan Lovgren to tell for the first time the remarkable and troubling stories of the world’s megafish and chronicles the race against the clock to find and protect these ancient...

        From Chapter 1: Ashley Primack “The Night that Forever Changed My Life”
         
        As we searched for places to go, we were watching people getting hit by flying bullets in all directions, and the length of the breaks in between the blasts were unpredictable. We could not hide in the same spot for too long, as there was no safe area to be.

During the shooting periods, my friend pushed me down, laying on top of me, to protect me from a potential wound. We saw people screaming, crying, and searching for their loved ones that they entered the concert with.
