This past Saturday while much of the nation was tuning into the epic Final Four matchup between Wisconsin and Kentucky, there was another nail-biter on television playing out in an Iowa grain bin.
The ABC series In An Instant recreated the harrowing story of Arick Baker, an Iowa farmer who was trapped in a silo and buried alive by corn.
The show was a big hit with audience who used #InAnInstant while following along with the episode.
Here are some of the comments from viewers of the show:
#InAnInstant LOVE this show. Incredible how life can change- good or bad in an instant.

It was nearly 100 degrees outside the day Arick was buried alive. We were told that in the grain bin it was nearly 140 #InAnInstant

Fabulous cinematography captures the irony of the beauty of the land and the terror in the bin. Great job! @bohakala #InAnInstant
