1
00:00:01,206 --> 00:00:02,310
Next,on a special episode
2
00:00:02,344 --> 00:00:04,931
ofParanormal Caught
on Camera.
3
00:00:04,965 --> 00:00:09,896
A terrifying mid-air collision knocks a skydiver unconscious.
4
00:00:10,793 --> 00:00:12,068
The closerI got to him,
5
00:00:12,103 --> 00:00:14,482
I started to realize
that he was in trouble.
6
00:00:15,862 --> 00:00:21,448
A kayakerin Florida gets rammedby an alligator.
7
00:00:21,482 --> 00:00:24,275
I'm assumingit's right below the boatat that point,
8
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:27,310
so I'm just trying to get
righted as fast as possible.
9
00:00:28,586 --> 00:00:30,344
A woman is trappedin a van...
10
00:00:30,379 --> 00:00:31,689
Please get me out!
11
00:00:31,724 --> 00:00:33,137
Please get me out!
12
00:00:33,172 --> 00:00:36,068
...that's rapidlysinking into a river.
13
00:00:36,103 --> 00:00:37,275
Move away!
14
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:39,896
Seconds would have changed life or death for her.
15
00:00:39,931 --> 00:00:41,413
She was going to die.
16
00:00:41,448 --> 00:00:42,965
A jet-skierin England...
17
00:00:44,827 --> 00:00:48,931
gets suckedunder a cargo ship.
18
00:00:48,965 --> 00:00:50,620
At that momentin time, I was like,
19
00:00:50,655 --> 00:00:52,793
"This is it. You're dead.
Like, without a doubt."
20
00:00:52,827 --> 00:00:55,103
And evenmore death-defying footage...
21
00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:58,000
...that will haveyou screaming.
22
00:00:59,172 --> 00:01:00,241
Oh, my God!
23
00:01:16,344 --> 00:01:20,586
Getting knocked outis a risk in many sports
24
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:25,241
such as hockey, footballand, of course, boxing.
25
00:01:27,068 --> 00:01:30,620
For the most part though,medics are usually nearby
26
00:01:30,655 --> 00:01:33,793
and can assist a personwithin minutes.
27
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:39,103
But what happens if you loseconsciousness at 10,000 feet?
28
00:01:41,689 --> 00:01:45,000
Such was the case in Texas,when a freak accident
29
00:01:46,068 --> 00:01:49,517
sent a skydiver plummetingtoward the Earth
30
00:01:49,551 --> 00:01:54,206
at 160 miles per hourin a total blackout.
31
00:02:03,310 --> 00:02:04,793
July 2014.
32
00:02:05,517 --> 00:02:07,793
Whitewright, Texas.
33
00:02:09,344 --> 00:02:15,241
Four skydivers,including Ben Pigeonand instructor Andy Locke,
34
00:02:15,275 --> 00:02:18,517
are about to taketheir last jump of the day.
35
00:02:20,034 --> 00:02:23,965
My name is Andy Locke
and I am a professional skydiver.
36
00:02:24,931 --> 00:02:26,448
It was a pretty normal day.
37
00:02:26,482 --> 00:02:28,137
We did ten jumps.
38
00:02:28,172 --> 00:02:30,586
Should have stopped
at nine, but, uh...
39
00:02:32,551 --> 00:02:37,172
Needless to say,their tenth jumpdoesn't go as planned.
40
00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:42,862
Basically, we were
gonna exit head down.
41
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:45,517
So that basically means
our head is going towards the Earth
42
00:02:45,551 --> 00:02:48,241
rather than traditionally,
uh, belly to Earth.
43
00:02:48,275 --> 00:02:52,758
And we were going to buildlike a circle,all holding grips.
44
00:02:52,793 --> 00:02:54,724
We were gonna let go
of the grips,
45
00:02:54,758 --> 00:02:56,551
I was gonna move away,
46
00:02:56,586 --> 00:02:59,413
they were going to follow,we were gonna all stop,
47
00:03:00,793 --> 00:03:03,310
and not everybody stopped.
48
00:03:03,344 --> 00:03:06,827
And that miscalculation set into motion
49
00:03:06,862 --> 00:03:08,896
a devastating chain of events.
50
00:03:10,172 --> 00:03:14,586
Watch this skydiver closelyas he flies towards Ben.
51
00:03:16,103 --> 00:03:17,275
Did you see that?
52
00:03:18,793 --> 00:03:21,551
Watch again in slow-motion
53
00:03:21,586 --> 00:03:27,655
as his leg collides withBen's head at about200 miles per hour.
54
00:03:34,275 --> 00:03:36,586
I saw
the collision immediately.
55
00:03:36,620 --> 00:03:39,862
It didn't register that,"Oh, no, somebody is hurt."
56
00:03:39,896 --> 00:03:42,413
The only thing that kind of
popped up in my head was,
57
00:03:42,448 --> 00:03:46,034
"That didn't look right
and I need to get over there."
58
00:03:46,068 --> 00:03:48,206
And with the Earthquickly approaching,
59
00:03:48,793 --> 00:03:51,689
time is of the essence.
60
00:03:51,724 --> 00:03:54,379
I was kind of on autopilot,
in a sense.
61
00:03:54,413 --> 00:03:56,517
The biggest thoughtwas "get there."
62
00:03:56,551 --> 00:03:58,620
That was allI was thinking about.
63
00:03:58,655 --> 00:04:01,310
It was just, "Get there,get there, get there."
64
00:04:01,344 --> 00:04:06,931
The closer I got to him,I started to kind of realizethat he was in trouble.
65
00:04:08,413 --> 00:04:09,724
Big trouble.
66
00:04:09,758 --> 00:04:13,965
Ben has been knockedunconscious by the hit.
67
00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:17,172
Immediately,once I got to him,
68
00:04:17,206 --> 00:04:19,344
I realized he waspretty badly hurt.
69
00:04:19,379 --> 00:04:21,448
His left eye
was completely swollen shut.
70
00:04:21,482 --> 00:04:23,689
His visor was blasted open.
71
00:04:23,724 --> 00:04:25,413
So, he was in bad shape.
72
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:32,000
And with themboth freefallingat 160 miles per hour,
73
00:04:32,034 --> 00:04:36,793
Andy has mere secondsto come up with the solution.
74
00:04:36,827 --> 00:04:41,689
OMG doesn't even begin
to encompass what we are seeing here.
75
00:04:41,724 --> 00:04:46,413
This is such a drasticand dramatic scenario
76
00:04:46,448 --> 00:04:52,551
that you fully expecta man is plungingto his death.
77
00:04:52,586 --> 00:04:56,517
Then, with lessthan 30 seconds to gountil impact,
78
00:04:56,551 --> 00:05:02,034
Andy does the only thinghe can and pulls Ben'sreserve parachute.
79
00:05:04,862 --> 00:05:08,482
The reserve parachute,
it's designed to be the backup
80
00:05:08,517 --> 00:05:10,310
and it's designed to open...
81
00:05:10,344 --> 00:05:14,931
open in lessthan ideal situationsand fly more docile.
82
00:05:14,965 --> 00:05:17,827
So I figured if I give himthe reserve parachute,
83
00:05:17,862 --> 00:05:22,379
with him being unconscious,
that would give him the best probability of...
84
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,793
survival or lack of injury.
85
00:05:29,068 --> 00:05:32,931
I feel like this is one
of those things that we see in movies,
86
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:37,586
that we don't ever actually
think about happening in real life.
87
00:05:39,241 --> 00:05:42,344
Miraculously,Ben regains consciousness
88
00:05:42,379 --> 00:05:45,241
after his reserve chuteis pulled,
89
00:05:45,275 --> 00:05:51,379
and in spite of everything,he's somehow able tosafely navigate his landing,
90
00:05:51,413 --> 00:05:55,827
though his recollectionof the whole event is spotty.
91
00:05:55,862 --> 00:05:59,344
My name is Ben,
and I was knocked unconscious while skydiving.
92
00:06:05,896 --> 00:06:09,344
And, uh, they asked me,
"Ben, are you okay? Are you okay?"
93
00:06:09,379 --> 00:06:12,655
and I said,
"What are you talking about?"
94
00:06:12,689 --> 00:06:15,931
How I got backto the drop zone,I have no idea.
95
00:06:15,965 --> 00:06:17,172
I could've landedon a highway,
96
00:06:17,206 --> 00:06:19,931
I could've landedon a telephone line.
97
00:06:19,965 --> 00:06:21,758
I could've landedin a tree then fell...
98
00:06:21,793 --> 00:06:25,482
I mean,
there's all kinds of things that could've gone wrong.
99
00:06:25,517 --> 00:06:26,689
But they didn't.
100
00:06:28,379 --> 00:06:34,034
And not only that,Ben walks awaywith just minor injuries.
101
00:06:34,068 --> 00:06:39,241
I had a pretty bad black eye
and, obviously, a really bad concussion,
102
00:06:39,275 --> 00:06:44,379
but obviously,
nothing compared to what it could've been.
103
00:06:44,413 --> 00:06:48,931
I mean, the factthat he survived thisis really mind-blowing.
104
00:06:48,965 --> 00:06:51,344
I don't like using words
like miracle and such,
105
00:06:51,379 --> 00:06:53,413
but this is really
nothing short of a miracle.
106
00:07:13,241 --> 00:07:14,517
I still get
a little emotional.
107
00:07:16,034 --> 00:07:16,931
Um...
108
00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:20,655
Yeah. I don't know, it's...
109
00:07:22,517 --> 00:07:23,827
Yeah, it's hard to explain.
110
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:29,620
It just reminds meof the fragility of our life
111
00:07:29,655 --> 00:07:34,586
and how, you know, easily it could be turned off.
112
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:39,655
And it also reminds me
that skydiving can be very dangerous,
113
00:07:39,689 --> 00:07:44,206
but is a beautiful sportthat I love very much,
114
00:07:44,241 --> 00:07:48,551
and it is unfortunate that
when skydiving does get publicity
115
00:07:48,586 --> 00:07:54,482
it's typically becauseof an accident or, you know,some sort of tragedy.
116
00:07:57,344 --> 00:07:58,482
Coming up...
117
00:07:58,517 --> 00:08:02,551
Will this man be ableto save this dog's life?
118
00:08:03,310 --> 00:08:05,517
Oh, he's so tired.
119
00:08:18,724 --> 00:08:20,862
The East Riverin New York City
120
00:08:20,896 --> 00:08:25,448
is not known for beingthe cleanest of waterways.
121
00:08:25,482 --> 00:08:28,689
In addition to that,it is a major thoroughfare
122
00:08:28,724 --> 00:08:32,034
for barges, ferriesand tugboats,
123
00:08:32,068 --> 00:08:37,172
and the currentscan be incredibly strongand unpredictable,
124
00:08:37,206 --> 00:08:41,103
all of which,makes it a potentiallydeadly body of water
125
00:08:41,137 --> 00:08:42,862
for your average human being.
126
00:08:44,206 --> 00:08:48,827
So, what would it takefor you to jump in?
127
00:08:49,793 --> 00:08:53,413
A man from Queensfound out the hard way
128
00:08:53,448 --> 00:08:56,448
when he saw a lifein need of saving.
129
00:09:09,586 --> 00:09:11,275
May 4th, 2019.
130
00:09:11,827 --> 00:09:13,137
Brooklyn, New York.
131
00:09:14,655 --> 00:09:17,931
Gabe Castellanosis celebratinghis 38th birthday
132
00:09:17,965 --> 00:09:20,827
with a group of friendsat the Brooklyn Barge,
133
00:09:20,862 --> 00:09:23,379
a popular restauranton the water,
134
00:09:24,689 --> 00:09:30,275
when he spots a dogswimming in the East River.
135
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:33,551
My name is Gabe,
and this is my video.
136
00:09:33,586 --> 00:09:35,827
We noticed the dogin the water,
137
00:09:35,862 --> 00:09:39,137
and we were like, "Oh, man!That's such a great idea.
138
00:09:39,172 --> 00:09:41,793
I wish I could go, jump in
and cool off."
139
00:09:41,827 --> 00:09:44,103
But afternearly 45 minutes,
140
00:09:44,137 --> 00:09:47,517
the dog shows no signsof heading back to shore.
141
00:09:52,241 --> 00:09:55,241
Jokingly, my brother
actually just mentioned,
142
00:09:55,275 --> 00:09:57,896
"Hey, Gabe, you might have
to jump in there and get that dog,"
143
00:09:57,931 --> 00:10:02,620
I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, no, you know, the dog will go backto land, it will be fine."
144
00:10:02,655 --> 00:10:05,103
But, you know, in the backof my head I'm like,
145
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:08,310
"Oh, man.
What if I do have to jump in?"
146
00:10:08,344 --> 00:10:10,344
The comment resonates
147
00:10:10,379 --> 00:10:14,206
because Gabe had attendeda maritime collegein the Bronx,
148
00:10:14,241 --> 00:10:17,862
where he was trainedin water survival skills.
149
00:10:24,517 --> 00:10:28,172
And when Gabesees the dog startto swim in circles,
150
00:10:28,206 --> 00:10:29,827
he knows it's go-time.
151
00:10:41,068 --> 00:10:45,551
The first thing I didwas to make sure I did nottell my girlfriend, Kimberly,
152
00:10:45,586 --> 00:10:48,896
what I was about to dobecause she would've, like,
153
00:10:48,931 --> 00:10:53,000
just clutched on to me
and it would've been someone else's story.
154
00:11:16,413 --> 00:11:21,586
I jumped intothe water and I seethe dog swimming away,
155
00:11:21,620 --> 00:11:25,000
I'm like, you know,
"expletive" like,
156
00:11:25,034 --> 00:11:26,344
"Oh, now I got to swim?"
157
00:11:31,206 --> 00:11:32,586
Come on.
158
00:11:32,620 --> 00:11:34,517
When I was justsix feet away from her,
159
00:11:34,551 --> 00:11:36,241
you could see the panicin her eyes,
160
00:11:36,275 --> 00:11:39,965
and she just started swimmingtowards the centerof the river.
161
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,413
So, in my panic state
I was like,
162
00:11:42,448 --> 00:11:43,965
"Well, I can't let her
get out there,
163
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,448
otherwise, this may not be
a rescue at all."
164
00:11:52,724 --> 00:11:56,275
But even when Gabe finally catches up to the dog,
165
00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:59,862
the rescue is in dangerof going awry.
166
00:11:59,896 --> 00:12:02,379
Of course she's afraid,
you know,
167
00:12:02,413 --> 00:12:05,206
probably getting into
the early stages of hypothermia,
168
00:12:05,241 --> 00:12:08,000
'cause the water
was still pretty cold at that time of the year.
169
00:12:10,586 --> 00:12:14,586
And she basically
just lunges at my face.
170
00:12:21,586 --> 00:12:23,344
He's bleeding!
Look, he's bleeding!
171
00:12:23,379 --> 00:12:24,965
- Who?
- He's bleeding.
172
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,034
- The dog?
- No, the guy. It bit him.
173
00:12:27,068 --> 00:12:29,482
Oh,
The dog is like, "Why are you doing this?"
174
00:12:29,517 --> 00:12:32,344
As I was kind ofstruggling to kindacontrol her,
175
00:12:32,379 --> 00:12:35,965
I pushed her away for a littlebit, just to let hercalm down,
176
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,172
and I went to reach
with my left hand,
177
00:12:38,206 --> 00:12:40,241
and then she caught on
to my left hand
178
00:12:40,275 --> 00:12:43,827
and I was biting that
for a little bit.
179
00:12:43,862 --> 00:12:49,586
But by now,Gabe has already reachedthe point of no return.
180
00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:51,068
The adrenalineis going,
181
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:52,827
so I'm not feelingany of this.
182
00:12:52,862 --> 00:12:56,379
She did have a collar on,so I was ableto just get my hand
183
00:12:56,413 --> 00:12:58,862
in between her collar
and her head,
184
00:12:58,896 --> 00:13:02,724
so that she couldn't actually
turn her head back to try to bite me.
185
00:13:07,413 --> 00:13:08,758
Look.
He's not even swimming.
186
00:13:08,793 --> 00:13:09,586
He's just like...
187
00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:12,000
Oh, he's so tired.
188
00:13:12,034 --> 00:13:13,965
Oh, it scratched him
in the face.
189
00:13:15,344 --> 00:13:18,379
Heroic effort!
190
00:13:18,413 --> 00:13:23,206
They both,amazingly, make it backto shore safe and sound.
191
00:13:29,517 --> 00:13:33,275
This is someonetrained in maritime rescue.
192
00:13:33,310 --> 00:13:36,551
That's who's having
a birthday party on the edge of river,
193
00:13:36,586 --> 00:13:38,586
watching this dog
in need of rescue?
194
00:13:38,620 --> 00:13:43,068
I mean, this is really
starting to feel like it's coming together on purpose,
195
00:13:43,103 --> 00:13:44,965
like there'ssome sort of meaning
196
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,724
or serendipity behind
this particular occurrence
197
00:13:48,758 --> 00:13:55,758
because that unique skillset
being required in that situation on that day,
198
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:56,931
at that time...
199
00:13:56,965 --> 00:14:00,482
I mean, maybe that goes
a little bit beyond luck.
200
00:14:00,517 --> 00:14:03,379
First of all,
diving into the East River
201
00:14:03,413 --> 00:14:07,862
is death-defying enough
with all the pollution and everything else in it.
202
00:14:10,655 --> 00:14:13,103
I wouldn't have beenthinking about whether or not
203
00:14:13,137 --> 00:14:15,000
that river was treatedor cleaned.
204
00:14:15,034 --> 00:14:19,551
I could jump into a pile
of sewage with crap in it to save a dog, you know,
205
00:14:19,586 --> 00:14:20,862
because that's just
who I am,
206
00:14:20,896 --> 00:14:23,344
and I think
that's the same thing with this guy.
207
00:14:23,379 --> 00:14:26,137
The thingthat he wasn't preparedfor was the fear
208
00:14:26,172 --> 00:14:30,758
of the dog going,
"Who are you? What's going on?
209
00:14:30,793 --> 00:14:33,793
And why are you tryingto grab mewhen I'm in the water?"
210
00:14:33,827 --> 00:14:36,620
The dog was probably thinkingsomething along the linesof that.
211
00:14:36,655 --> 00:14:39,034
And bit, out of fear,
saying, "Leave me alone, give me space."
212
00:14:45,793 --> 00:14:47,965
As I brought heronto the rocks,
213
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,344
you know, she wasa lot calmer at that point.
214
00:14:50,379 --> 00:14:54,000
Um, she actually just laid in the rocks for a little bit,catching her breath.
215
00:14:57,034 --> 00:14:59,896
After paramedicstreat Gabe for his wounds,
216
00:14:59,931 --> 00:15:03,448
the dog's walkermanages to catch up with him.
217
00:15:03,482 --> 00:15:06,344
Turns out, the dog's nameis Harper
218
00:15:06,379 --> 00:15:10,551
and how she ended up hereis its own crazy story.
219
00:15:10,586 --> 00:15:12,827
While the dog walkerwas out,
220
00:15:12,862 --> 00:15:16,034
a cab basicallyran a stop sign
221
00:15:16,068 --> 00:15:20,482
and hit the dog walker,so, he let go the leash
222
00:15:20,517 --> 00:15:23,000
and Harper
just took off running.
223
00:15:24,517 --> 00:15:28,689
Only Harper knowshow she ended upin the East River.
224
00:15:28,724 --> 00:15:32,620
As for Gabe, though a fewsmall scars remain,
225
00:15:32,655 --> 00:15:35,793
he has absolutely no regrets.
226
00:15:35,827 --> 00:15:38,655
I don't feel likeI'm a hero in this situation,
227
00:15:38,689 --> 00:15:41,310
I just feel like I didwhat needed to be done.
228
00:15:41,344 --> 00:15:43,034
It's a living being.
229
00:15:43,068 --> 00:15:47,344
My reaction was to make sure
that it's got more years to live.
230
00:15:53,482 --> 00:15:54,689
Coming up...
231
00:15:54,724 --> 00:15:58,517
A peaceful kayaking tripturns terrifying.
232
00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:22,724
The jawsof an alligatorhave enough strength,
233
00:16:22,758 --> 00:16:26,000
over 2,000 poundsper square inch
234
00:16:26,034 --> 00:16:30,000
to clamp down andeasily break the bonesof their prey.
235
00:16:31,379 --> 00:16:34,379
They can even bitethrough steel.
236
00:16:39,620 --> 00:16:43,206
And while it might seemlike these large reptiles
237
00:16:43,241 --> 00:16:47,344
mostly lounge aroundand sunbathe on the shore,
238
00:16:47,379 --> 00:16:52,137
make no mistake,when they're hungry,they can move.
239
00:16:57,103 --> 00:17:00,103
Which is it what makesthis encounterin North Carolina...
240
00:17:01,413 --> 00:17:02,689
so terrifying.
241
00:17:18,103 --> 00:17:21,448
July 12, 2020,in North Carolina.
242
00:17:24,655 --> 00:17:27,551
Pete Joyce,a firefighter paramedic,
243
00:17:27,586 --> 00:17:30,586
is paddling througha remote swampy stretch
244
00:17:30,620 --> 00:17:32,034
of the Waccamaw River.
245
00:17:36,068 --> 00:17:38,586
My name is Pete Joyce
and this is my video.
246
00:17:40,241 --> 00:17:43,068
It was later in the evening,it was betweenfive and six o'clock,
247
00:17:43,103 --> 00:17:45,482
I had just got donewith a mountain bike ride
248
00:17:45,517 --> 00:17:46,689
and I was on my way back,
249
00:17:46,724 --> 00:17:49,241
and I just decidedto check out that area,
250
00:17:49,275 --> 00:17:52,034
'cause that was actually
the first time I was in that part of the river.
251
00:17:52,068 --> 00:17:53,551
It is very isolated.
252
00:17:55,172 --> 00:17:58,689
But Pete'speaceful isolationis about to come...
253
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,827
to a horrifying end.
254
00:18:05,586 --> 00:18:07,241
I was lookingto the right
255
00:18:07,275 --> 00:18:11,137
and once I was headingtowards the brush
256
00:18:11,172 --> 00:18:12,689
and the branches
to the right of me,
257
00:18:12,724 --> 00:18:14,379
my attention
was completely diverted.
258
00:18:18,689 --> 00:18:22,965
What Petecant's see is this alligator.
259
00:18:26,206 --> 00:18:30,000
But the alligatorcan definitely see Pete.
260
00:18:36,724 --> 00:18:42,034
Pete is now upside downand underwaterwith the alligator.
261
00:18:43,448 --> 00:18:46,379
I'm assuming
it's right below the boat at that point,
262
00:18:46,413 --> 00:18:50,413
so I'm just trying to get
righted as fast as possible.
263
00:18:50,448 --> 00:18:53,482
And becausehis legs are stillin the kayak,
264
00:18:53,517 --> 00:18:57,965
he has only his armsto defend and right himself.
265
00:18:59,137 --> 00:19:03,620
Then, suddenly,he feels somethingby his hand.
266
00:19:06,379 --> 00:19:07,862
A branch.
267
00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:13,827
I was very, very grateful
that there was a limb just below the surface
268
00:19:13,862 --> 00:19:16,000
to actually right the boatand get it back upright.
269
00:19:20,689 --> 00:19:24,241
He's back up,but not out of danger.
270
00:19:25,689 --> 00:19:28,655
I just waited for,like, a second blowto the boat
271
00:19:28,689 --> 00:19:33,000
and once that little bit
of a jolt disappeared,
272
00:19:34,068 --> 00:19:35,551
I went, tapped the boat
a little bit...
273
00:19:37,896 --> 00:19:41,241
...made sure it wasn't
still underneath or near the surface
274
00:19:41,275 --> 00:19:43,793
and then grabbed the paddle.
275
00:19:43,827 --> 00:19:46,931
Turned around
and as delicately as possible,
276
00:19:46,965 --> 00:19:48,620
just leave the area.
277
00:19:51,655 --> 00:19:56,896
I didn't really process it
until I was, like, hauling back in the other direction.
278
00:19:58,413 --> 00:20:01,241
"Hauling back"is an understatement.
279
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:06,758
That was ten minutes
to get down there.
280
00:20:06,793 --> 00:20:09,275
I think it took me
two-and-a-half minutes to get back.
281
00:20:11,724 --> 00:20:14,758
This is one of those moments
when you get that visceral reaction
282
00:20:14,793 --> 00:20:16,862
watching it,
screaming at your phone
283
00:20:16,896 --> 00:20:19,379
or your TVor your laptop saying,
284
00:20:19,413 --> 00:20:22,206
"I could not imagine
being in this situation."
285
00:20:22,241 --> 00:20:26,275
By far, I would say,
one of the scariest situations that you could be in.
286
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:34,758
When he dumped over,
my heart sank,
287
00:20:34,793 --> 00:20:40,206
because I thought, for sure,
that alligator was gonna grab one of his limbs
288
00:20:40,241 --> 00:20:45,931
and he was gonna either drown
or get death rolled, you know.
289
00:20:46,931 --> 00:20:48,724
If that were mein the kayak,
290
00:20:48,758 --> 00:20:52,103
you would hear
so much swearing
291
00:20:52,137 --> 00:20:54,758
coming out of my mouth,
the minute that that happened,
292
00:20:54,793 --> 00:20:58,172
and this kayaker's like,really calm and fairly quiet.
293
00:20:58,206 --> 00:21:00,310
We can hearhis rapid breathing,
294
00:21:00,344 --> 00:21:02,241
we can tellhe's obviously frightened,
295
00:21:02,275 --> 00:21:06,448
but, I mean, this is someonewho is staying level-headed.
296
00:21:06,482 --> 00:21:09,310
That level headedness,I have to imagine
297
00:21:09,344 --> 00:21:14,379
had a lot to do with how
smoothly this situation went in the end.
298
00:21:17,517 --> 00:21:23,034
So,how exactly did Petekeep such a level head?
299
00:21:23,068 --> 00:21:27,482
As a firefighter,
paramedic, dealing with, uh, behavioral problems
300
00:21:27,517 --> 00:21:28,586
in the field,
301
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,689
this is kind ofroughly the equivalent.
302
00:21:30,724 --> 00:21:35,241
You just gotta keep your mindat ease somehowand just breathe through it.
303
00:21:37,379 --> 00:21:39,103
You know, you're not gonna
help yourself
304
00:21:39,137 --> 00:21:42,172
by flailing about
and getting crazy.
305
00:21:42,206 --> 00:21:44,965
The factthat he's a firefighterdoes not surprise me.
306
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,206
We as firefighters
and paramedics,
307
00:21:46,241 --> 00:21:48,896
we are usedto operating in dark,
308
00:21:48,931 --> 00:21:52,448
unable to see areaswith extremelyhigh heart rates
309
00:21:52,482 --> 00:21:54,482
and, you know,a lot going on around us.
310
00:21:54,517 --> 00:21:56,862
So this truly just paid
a lot of testament
311
00:21:56,896 --> 00:21:59,103
to what he's done to train
to be a firefighter,
312
00:21:59,137 --> 00:22:02,068
and it helped him out
immensely in this moment.
313
00:22:02,103 --> 00:22:04,517
Look, all I knowis that if I'm kayakingthis river
314
00:22:04,551 --> 00:22:07,172
and an alligator lunges at meand knocks me over,
315
00:22:07,206 --> 00:22:08,344
I'm hanging up my kayak.
316
00:22:08,379 --> 00:22:09,620
I'm done with kayaking.
317
00:22:11,482 --> 00:22:13,172
Not Pete.
318
00:22:13,206 --> 00:22:19,482
He kayaked the same river just two months later, albeit,a little more carefully.
319
00:22:19,517 --> 00:22:23,241
I was very complacent
with alligators before this all happened.
320
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:28,931
So I give them a little bitmore space these daysthan I have done in the past.
321
00:22:28,965 --> 00:22:32,931
If anything, it's made me
more attached to them in an odd way.
322
00:22:32,965 --> 00:22:35,586
As forthe nightmare-inducing video?
323
00:22:35,620 --> 00:22:38,068
I don'twatch it anymore.
324
00:22:38,103 --> 00:22:40,724
After that firstor second day,I just stopped watching it.
325
00:22:40,758 --> 00:22:42,379
I'm waiting for the next one,
you know?
326
00:22:42,413 --> 00:22:43,344
That's just it.
327
00:22:43,379 --> 00:22:44,655
I gotta one up it somehow.
328
00:22:50,689 --> 00:22:53,586
Coming up,the OMG miracles...
329
00:22:53,620 --> 00:22:54,931
Please, get me out.
330
00:22:54,965 --> 00:22:56,103
...continue.
331
00:22:56,137 --> 00:22:57,344
Oh, my God.
332
00:22:57,379 --> 00:22:59,482
Here! Here! Here!
333
00:23:13,379 --> 00:23:17,034
It's a common scenein Hollywood films.
334
00:23:17,068 --> 00:23:19,310
A car spins out of control...
335
00:23:20,413 --> 00:23:23,000
...then catapultsover the side of a bridge
336
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,344
into a body of water.
337
00:23:27,379 --> 00:23:31,965
The driver strugglesto get out before waterfills their vehicle.
338
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,758
- Usually, it doesn't end well.
339
00:23:36,793 --> 00:23:40,413
Unfortunately, that nightmareinducing scenario
340
00:23:40,448 --> 00:23:44,172
recently played outin real life for a womanin Ohio.
341
00:23:47,689 --> 00:23:50,310
And the differencebetween life and death
342
00:23:50,344 --> 00:23:54,241
rested largely in the handsof two police officers.
343
00:23:54,275 --> 00:23:55,413
Move away!
344
00:23:56,344 --> 00:23:57,172
Do it again!
345
00:24:05,965 --> 00:24:08,103
November 23rd, 2020.
346
00:24:08,931 --> 00:24:10,482
Alliance, Ohio.
347
00:24:12,724 --> 00:24:15,620
Alexus Carverhas just woken up
348
00:24:15,655 --> 00:24:19,655
to the sound of waterrushing into her minivan.
349
00:24:19,689 --> 00:24:24,068
She quickly realizesthat she must've fallenasleep while driving
350
00:24:24,103 --> 00:24:28,172
and somehow ended upin a frigid body of water.
351
00:24:28,206 --> 00:24:31,793
Alexus grabs her phoneand calls 911.
352
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,068
The dispatcheris able to get Alexus' GPSlocation from her cell phone.
353
00:24:55,241 --> 00:24:57,068
She's in the Mahoning River.
354
00:24:57,103 --> 00:25:00,310
Officer Shane Tallmanand Christian Tussey
355
00:25:00,344 --> 00:25:04,965
happened to berelatively close to the sceneand are the first to arrive.
356
00:25:05,862 --> 00:25:06,896
I'll have to.
357
00:25:08,448 --> 00:25:10,827
Alexus yellsto the officers,
358
00:25:10,862 --> 00:25:13,620
which is picked upby the dispatcher.
359
00:25:13,655 --> 00:25:15,172
Please, get me out.
360
00:25:15,206 --> 00:25:16,931
We're coming.
361
00:25:16,965 --> 00:25:19,241
As Shane'sbodycam records...
362
00:25:19,275 --> 00:25:20,344
Please!
363
00:25:20,379 --> 00:25:22,965
...Christiangets into the water.
364
00:25:23,827 --> 00:25:25,000
My name is Christian.
365
00:25:25,034 --> 00:25:28,000
My name is Shane,
and this is our video.
366
00:25:29,241 --> 00:25:31,206
Once the door
did not open
367
00:25:31,241 --> 00:25:33,206
and I noticed that there
was not enough room
368
00:25:33,241 --> 00:25:35,103
for her to get
through the window
369
00:25:35,137 --> 00:25:36,620
'cause it wasn't downall the way,
370
00:25:36,655 --> 00:25:38,482
that's when everythingslowed down for me.
371
00:25:38,517 --> 00:25:41,793
Internally your...
mind's going a mile a minute,
372
00:25:41,827 --> 00:25:44,586
but it's in slow motion.
373
00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:48,551
And thingsare getting more and more deadly by the second.
374
00:25:52,137 --> 00:25:54,172
I don't know if there was a current already
375
00:25:54,206 --> 00:25:58,034
or if the pressure of the car
created a little bit of the suction,
376
00:25:58,068 --> 00:26:00,689
but starting to feel my feet
move with that car,
377
00:26:00,724 --> 00:26:03,103
that became
a pretty scary thing.
378
00:26:05,068 --> 00:26:07,689
- Oh, my God. Here!
- I can't breathe!
379
00:26:07,724 --> 00:26:10,172
And the frigidtemperature of the water
380
00:26:10,206 --> 00:26:12,758
is making it hardfor Christian to breathe.
381
00:26:12,793 --> 00:26:15,586
All right,
I got you, Tuss! I got you!
382
00:26:15,620 --> 00:26:17,413
Give me the...
All right, I got you.
383
00:26:18,517 --> 00:26:20,241
I got it.
I got you, I got you.
384
00:26:20,275 --> 00:26:22,482
I went down to assist him
to start a chain
385
00:26:22,517 --> 00:26:24,448
so we could get her out
before it sunk.
386
00:26:24,482 --> 00:26:28,655
Officer Tussey was upto his neck almost in watertrying to get her out,
387
00:26:28,689 --> 00:26:31,310
and I knew the waterwas incredibly cold.
388
00:26:31,344 --> 00:26:36,827
My focus was on Officer Tussey
and seeing his actions to remove her.
389
00:26:36,862 --> 00:26:38,896
- Relax.
- Shatter it, please.
390
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:40,344
Yeah, we will, miss.
391
00:26:40,379 --> 00:26:43,827
Thankfully, Office Tallman
was able to kind of snap me out of it.
392
00:26:43,862 --> 00:26:46,344
I don't know
what the magic words were,
393
00:26:46,379 --> 00:26:48,379
divine intervention,whatever it was,
394
00:26:48,413 --> 00:26:51,551
but you can see in the video
how I am locked up
395
00:26:51,586 --> 00:26:55,517
and then it's like,
"Oh, here's a tomahawk, let's go back to work."
396
00:26:55,551 --> 00:26:57,620
Tell her to get away
and bust that window.
397
00:26:57,655 --> 00:26:59,655
Open
the back door! - She can't!
398
00:26:59,689 --> 00:27:01,896
- I can't!
- Let go, let go, let go.
399
00:27:01,931 --> 00:27:03,103
I'm gonna
hold your hand.
400
00:27:03,137 --> 00:27:03,965
Oh, my God.
401
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,793
Please! Please!
402
00:27:05,827 --> 00:27:08,448
- Okay, miss.
- Here, take this tomahawk.
403
00:27:08,482 --> 00:27:10,448
Turn away!
Turn away! - Turn away!
404
00:27:11,448 --> 00:27:12,137
Do it again.
405
00:27:16,724 --> 00:27:22,034
Christian pullsAlexus through the windowas the van quickly sinks.
406
00:27:22,724 --> 00:27:24,310
Breathe, relax.
407
00:27:24,344 --> 00:27:25,896
Get up, here we go.
408
00:27:28,034 --> 00:27:31,413
Being stuck in a carwhile water is justfilling up the car,
409
00:27:31,448 --> 00:27:33,551
has to be
one of my worst nightmares.
410
00:27:33,586 --> 00:27:35,862
Situations like theseare extremely intense
411
00:27:35,896 --> 00:27:37,482
because most of usare just thinking
412
00:27:37,517 --> 00:27:39,586
about getting the womanout of the vehicle,
413
00:27:39,620 --> 00:27:43,103
but in this type of situation,
it's so dynamic
414
00:27:43,137 --> 00:27:46,620
because it's slick
because of the water and also the mud,
415
00:27:46,655 --> 00:27:50,137
so you can fall
between the vehicle and the mud itself.
416
00:27:50,172 --> 00:27:52,413
The vehicle's most likelynot stable.
417
00:27:52,448 --> 00:27:55,655
So, on top of that,
it can rock and also pin you in there,
418
00:27:55,689 --> 00:27:57,724
and then just attempting
to get the person out,
419
00:27:57,758 --> 00:28:00,827
breaking glass
can be dangerous as well.
420
00:28:00,862 --> 00:28:04,103
Thereis a lot of people that weregoing to die that day
421
00:28:04,137 --> 00:28:07,793
if they didn't take
swift precise action.
422
00:28:07,827 --> 00:28:11,034
A factthat is not loston Christian and Shane.
423
00:28:11,068 --> 00:28:14,724
Secondswould've changedlife or death for her.
424
00:28:14,758 --> 00:28:17,241
She was going to diebecause there was nogetting her out of that
425
00:28:17,275 --> 00:28:18,586
without breaking the window,
426
00:28:18,620 --> 00:28:22,620
and if that car would've
started rolling anymore,
427
00:28:22,655 --> 00:28:25,103
that water was gonna keep
filling up,
428
00:28:25,137 --> 00:28:29,896
and swinging a tomahawk
under water wasn't gonna do anything.
429
00:28:30,896 --> 00:28:31,965
Bob, watch out.
430
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,379
You could go throughwith hundreds,
431
00:28:34,413 --> 00:28:36,931
literally hundredsof different variables
432
00:28:36,965 --> 00:28:39,068
that could've changedthat outcome.
433
00:28:39,103 --> 00:28:40,862
If her phone would've been
on the floor,
434
00:28:40,896 --> 00:28:44,862
if the dispatcher would've
not been trained appropriately
435
00:28:44,896 --> 00:28:47,586
and panicked, if the phone
would've disconnected,
436
00:28:47,620 --> 00:28:50,241
or if the GPS systemdidn't work right.
437
00:28:50,275 --> 00:28:52,862
I mean, if Officer Tusseyand I weren't in the location
438
00:28:52,896 --> 00:28:55,344
and as close to the callas we were.
439
00:28:55,379 --> 00:28:57,827
She could've hit her head,
she could've become unconscious,
440
00:28:57,862 --> 00:29:00,137
which would've allowed her
to slump below the water line
441
00:29:00,172 --> 00:29:01,724
and drown in the situation.
442
00:29:01,758 --> 00:29:04,931
So, the fact that she made it
out is a miracle.
443
00:29:04,965 --> 00:29:07,586
Alexussomehow walks away
444
00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:10,172
with only minor cutsand scratches,
445
00:29:10,206 --> 00:29:12,758
despite having crashedthrough a guardrail
446
00:29:12,793 --> 00:29:17,275
and plunged nearly 14 feetinto the icy watersof the river.
447
00:29:19,620 --> 00:29:22,068
And like true professionals,
448
00:29:22,103 --> 00:29:28,862
Officers Tussey and Tallmancontinue on with their shiftsafter they save her life.
449
00:29:28,896 --> 00:29:32,103
I got back hereas soon as I was ableto clear.
450
00:29:32,137 --> 00:29:35,689
I took one of the hottestshowers I've ever takenin my entire life
451
00:29:35,724 --> 00:29:38,827
and then I had to put on
a fresh uniform, new boots,
452
00:29:38,862 --> 00:29:42,275
and, um, be ready to go out
on another call.
453
00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:45,620
You're seeing
a very minute portion
454
00:29:45,655 --> 00:29:50,206
of what any police officer
across the world does every day.
455
00:29:50,241 --> 00:29:52,586
All right,
I got you, Tuss. I got you.
456
00:29:52,620 --> 00:29:53,793
Dude, I can't breathe.
457
00:29:53,827 --> 00:29:56,448
I got it.
I got you. I got you.
458
00:29:56,482 --> 00:29:59,689
Coming up,jet-skier versus cargo ship.
459
00:30:02,206 --> 00:30:03,482
Guess who wins?
460
00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:23,137
Cargo shipsare massive
461
00:30:24,275 --> 00:30:28,034
and can weighnearly 200,000 tons,
462
00:30:28,068 --> 00:30:32,448
and reach heightsof almost 20 storieswith containers on board.
463
00:30:34,103 --> 00:30:37,586
Because of this, a largercargo ship's engine
464
00:30:37,620 --> 00:30:41,344
turns propellers thatare taller than some houses
465
00:30:41,379 --> 00:30:45,931
and are about 1,250 timesmore powerful thanyour average car.
466
00:30:48,379 --> 00:30:53,862
So, when you're sharingthe waterways withone of these behemoths,
467
00:30:53,896 --> 00:30:56,827
the most important ruleis this...
468
00:30:58,241 --> 00:30:59,655
Stay out of their way.
469
00:31:01,275 --> 00:31:06,137
Advice that onedaring jet-skier in Englandfailed to follow.
470
00:31:20,655 --> 00:31:23,586
August 27th, 2016.
471
00:31:23,620 --> 00:31:27,103
Just off the southern coastof England in the Solent,
472
00:31:27,137 --> 00:31:31,137
one of the busiest shippinglanes on the planet.
473
00:31:31,172 --> 00:31:33,586
Rob Warnerand three of his friends
474
00:31:33,620 --> 00:31:36,103
have jet-skiedfrom the English mainland
475
00:31:36,137 --> 00:31:39,517
to have lunchon the Isle of Wight.
476
00:31:39,551 --> 00:31:44,655
While there, Rob spotssomething in the distance.
477
00:31:44,689 --> 00:31:49,206
My name's Rob and I survived
what you're about to see.
478
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:54,241
We were sat there,having our lunchafter the crossing over
479
00:31:54,275 --> 00:32:01,965
and I saw an absolutely
massive super-container ship coming down the dock,
480
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,551
and that's kind of
when the trouble began.
481
00:32:04,586 --> 00:32:08,551
The troubleRob is talking aboutis his sudden decision
482
00:32:08,586 --> 00:32:12,551
to do somethingextremely dangerous.
483
00:32:12,586 --> 00:32:14,172
I was like,
I'm gonna touch that
484
00:32:14,206 --> 00:32:17,482
'cause I had never done it
before, but people do do it actually on jet skis,
485
00:32:17,517 --> 00:32:18,827
and I'd never done it.
486
00:32:21,034 --> 00:32:23,379
So we got on out skies.It's about four of us.
487
00:32:23,413 --> 00:32:24,896
Shot out to it...
488
00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:28,103
Whoo!
489
00:32:28,137 --> 00:32:30,689
And as I was riding out to it,
I was full of adrenaline.
490
00:32:33,689 --> 00:32:37,413
I went up towards the sideof it and then I reached overto touch it,
491
00:32:37,448 --> 00:32:40,620
which would've beenall right, actually,if it was a nice, calm day.
492
00:32:41,655 --> 00:32:44,000
Except the week before
at the jet ski lake,
493
00:32:44,034 --> 00:32:47,413
I had snapped my lanyard,
so I tied a knot in it.
494
00:32:47,448 --> 00:32:49,620
So it was quite a lot shorterthan it should've been.
495
00:32:49,655 --> 00:32:51,103
And the lanyard,
the bit that goes
496
00:32:51,137 --> 00:32:54,724
from your wrist
to a pull switch on the jet ski,
497
00:32:54,758 --> 00:32:57,344
and if it pulls out
then the jet ski stops.
498
00:32:57,379 --> 00:32:59,482
You can't start it
without putting it back in.
499
00:32:59,517 --> 00:33:02,413
And as I reached overto touch the container ship,
500
00:33:03,413 --> 00:33:06,482
the lanyard pulled out,and cut the engine
501
00:33:06,517 --> 00:33:09,413
and then I was in pretty
serious trouble quite quickly, actually, yeah.
502
00:33:11,034 --> 00:33:13,586
Serioustrouble, indeed.
503
00:33:15,034 --> 00:33:18,965
Because as Rob strugglesto plug the lanyard back in,
504
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,758
he is suddenly overwhelmed by the ship's powerful engine.
505
00:33:30,379 --> 00:33:34,241
I fell off the ski
and I went under,
506
00:33:34,275 --> 00:33:39,793
and the container shipwas going so fast, actually,when I was up against it,
507
00:33:39,827 --> 00:33:41,965
and you can feel the pull.
508
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,275
And it did feellike I'm fightingfor survival
509
00:33:45,310 --> 00:33:48,172
because I was getting
sucked under.
510
00:33:48,206 --> 00:33:51,000
You know, I was underfor quite a lotof time, actually.
511
00:33:51,034 --> 00:33:52,241
What felt like an eternity.
512
00:33:52,275 --> 00:33:55,655
I was in a pretty seriously
bad position at that time.
513
00:33:55,689 --> 00:33:58,344
Not only is Robbeing pulled under,
514
00:33:58,379 --> 00:34:03,241
he's also being quicklydragged toward the massiverear propellers.
515
00:34:03,275 --> 00:34:05,931
At that moment in time,
I was like, "This is it.
516
00:34:05,965 --> 00:34:07,482
You're dead. Without a doubt.
517
00:34:07,517 --> 00:34:10,448
You're either gonna drown
or you're gonna get chopped up by the propeller."
518
00:34:13,827 --> 00:34:16,620
My immediate reactionto this is "Why?"
519
00:34:16,655 --> 00:34:20,448
This is a moment
where you go from zero
520
00:34:20,482 --> 00:34:22,586
to "I don't know where I am,"
521
00:34:22,620 --> 00:34:25,862
to, "Oh, I'm in ten pieces
'cause I just went through a propeller."
522
00:34:28,655 --> 00:34:30,724
People, when theylook at these things,
523
00:34:30,758 --> 00:34:34,172
they think they're justgiant, lumbering ships.
524
00:34:34,206 --> 00:34:38,206
But they don't realizethat they have an enormousamount of power,
525
00:34:38,241 --> 00:34:43,206
and they have to, to move
such a tremendous volume of weight.
526
00:34:43,241 --> 00:34:47,413
And those gigantic,
churning propellers beneath it
527
00:34:47,448 --> 00:34:50,103
are sucking in waterfrom all sides
528
00:34:50,137 --> 00:34:54,172
and the last place you wannabe is up against the sideof that vessel,
529
00:34:54,206 --> 00:34:57,344
when the water startsto get sucked beneath it.
530
00:34:57,379 --> 00:35:02,413
And unfortunately,for Rob, that's exactlywhere he is.
531
00:35:05,689 --> 00:35:07,827
I remember there waslots and lots of bubbles.
532
00:35:09,620 --> 00:35:10,896
And I thoughtI was gonna drown.
533
00:35:13,517 --> 00:35:15,965
But, to be honest,
it was just sheer panic,
534
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,827
like, absolute terror
of, like, you know,
535
00:35:18,862 --> 00:35:21,517
like, it was total,
just madness.
536
00:35:23,103 --> 00:35:26,000
This is definitely the closestI've ever come to death.
537
00:35:27,620 --> 00:35:28,379
Wasn't good.
538
00:35:29,965 --> 00:35:32,655
Then,in the nick of time,
539
00:35:32,689 --> 00:35:36,724
Rob's flotation devicelifts him to the surface
540
00:35:36,758 --> 00:35:40,482
just clearof the ship's propellers.
541
00:35:40,517 --> 00:35:43,793
All of the sudden,
the ship passed, like,
542
00:35:43,827 --> 00:35:47,241
at a pace
you wouldn't believe, and I was up.
543
00:35:47,275 --> 00:35:49,068
But I'd have thoughtI'd have been happierthan I was,
544
00:35:49,103 --> 00:35:52,827
but I was like, "Holy,
what just happened?"
545
00:35:55,896 --> 00:35:58,206
This dude got lucky.
546
00:35:58,241 --> 00:36:01,931
Had that guynot had the life jacket on,
547
00:36:01,965 --> 00:36:04,689
I'm not sure he would've beena strong enough swimmer
548
00:36:04,724 --> 00:36:07,172
to avoid being sucked
toward that propeller.
549
00:36:07,206 --> 00:36:09,551
So the guy definitelylucked out.
550
00:36:10,482 --> 00:36:11,931
After resurfacing...
551
00:36:13,068 --> 00:36:15,379
...Rob is ableto start his jet ski
552
00:36:15,413 --> 00:36:18,724
and race away from the shipas fast as possible.
553
00:36:18,758 --> 00:36:21,034
All I wanted to dowas to get to dry land.
554
00:36:21,068 --> 00:36:22,482
I mean,that was all I wanted to do
555
00:36:22,517 --> 00:36:26,068
is put my feet somewherewhere I wasn't gonnadrown basically.
556
00:36:26,103 --> 00:36:28,482
That was more than enough
for one day.
557
00:36:28,517 --> 00:36:32,206
Amazingly,Rob was unharmedfrom the ordeal.
558
00:36:33,551 --> 00:36:35,275
Physically, at least.
559
00:36:35,310 --> 00:36:37,655
No injuries whatsoever,I was absolutely fine.
560
00:36:37,689 --> 00:36:39,586
Just psychologically scarred.
561
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:41,620
It's not a nice memory,
really, drowning.
562
00:36:44,275 --> 00:36:46,379
And thoughhis near-death experience
563
00:36:46,413 --> 00:36:49,000
hasn't stopped himfrom jet-skiing,
564
00:36:49,034 --> 00:36:52,620
it has taught hima valuable lesson...
565
00:36:52,655 --> 00:36:56,793
You'll never see me going up
and touching another container ship on a jet ski.
566
00:36:56,827 --> 00:36:57,896
It's done.
567
00:37:03,482 --> 00:37:06,724
Coming up,a woman crosses the tracks...
568
00:37:06,758 --> 00:37:07,758
Oh, no.
569
00:37:07,793 --> 00:37:10,413
...as a trainbarrels toward her.
570
00:37:28,482 --> 00:37:31,034
Did you knowthat every year
571
00:37:31,068 --> 00:37:37,793
an average of 500 people arestruck and killed on railwaysin the United States?
572
00:37:37,827 --> 00:37:40,068
And though some believethat if the engineer
573
00:37:40,103 --> 00:37:42,413
sees somethingblocking the tracks ahead,
574
00:37:42,448 --> 00:37:44,172
they'll have timeto stop the train,
575
00:37:45,482 --> 00:37:48,620
that couldn't be furtherfrom the truth.
576
00:37:48,655 --> 00:37:51,379
In fact,due to their immense weight,
577
00:37:51,413 --> 00:37:55,275
the average freight traintraveling 55 miles per hour
578
00:37:55,310 --> 00:38:00,689
can take a mile or moreto stop after the emergencybrake has been applied.
579
00:38:00,724 --> 00:38:05,793
Meaning, by the timethe engineer sees something,it's already too late.
580
00:38:09,068 --> 00:38:13,827
So, when an 89-year-old womanin New Jersey was caughton the tracks
581
00:38:13,862 --> 00:38:15,827
with a trainbarreling toward her...
582
00:38:15,862 --> 00:38:17,413
Oh, no.
583
00:38:17,448 --> 00:38:21,241
...it was going totake nothing less thana miracle to save her life.
584
00:38:30,103 --> 00:38:31,862
March 8th, 2017.
585
00:38:32,758 --> 00:38:36,000
Saddle Brook, New Jersey.
586
00:38:36,034 --> 00:38:41,655
Jon Mango, a salesman,is between clients,grabbing some lunch.
587
00:38:42,896 --> 00:38:44,034
Hey, how's it going?
588
00:38:44,931 --> 00:38:47,206
I'm Jon, this is my video.
589
00:38:47,241 --> 00:38:49,413
I went to go get lunchat a fast food place
590
00:38:49,448 --> 00:38:54,379
and as I'm in the drive-thru,
I see a lady with two canes,
591
00:38:54,413 --> 00:38:56,068
literally walkingwith two canes.
592
00:38:56,103 --> 00:38:59,827
He takes note,but doesn't thinktoo much more about it.
593
00:38:59,862 --> 00:39:01,137
I startedeating my food.
594
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:05,344
I eat half my foodfrom the placeand I have to leave.
595
00:39:05,379 --> 00:39:07,620
So then I leave
the parking lot,
596
00:39:08,586 --> 00:39:10,413
make a right,make another right...
597
00:39:10,448 --> 00:39:12,241
Jon,then comes to a red light
598
00:39:12,275 --> 00:39:15,206
at a railroad crossingand stops his car.
599
00:39:15,241 --> 00:39:19,344
So I'm sitting there,
and I see the lady again.
600
00:39:19,379 --> 00:39:20,793
I'm like, "Okay..."
601
00:39:20,827 --> 00:39:22,655
And then I start seeing
a light flash.
602
00:39:23,448 --> 00:39:26,896
I'm like, "Okay,
this isn't good."
603
00:39:26,931 --> 00:39:30,000
That flashing lightmeans that a trainis coming...
604
00:39:30,965 --> 00:39:32,034
now!
605
00:39:32,620 --> 00:39:33,310
Oh, no.
606
00:39:34,448 --> 00:39:35,931
So I'm like, "Oh, crap!
607
00:39:35,965 --> 00:39:37,206
I gotta do something."
608
00:39:37,241 --> 00:39:39,275
Because she was
gonna get plastered.
609
00:39:39,310 --> 00:39:43,206
'Cause at this intersection
the train doesn't stop,
610
00:39:43,241 --> 00:39:44,965
and it doesn't slow down.
611
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:50,827
Without hesitationJon jumps out of his carand runs on to the tracks,
612
00:39:50,862 --> 00:39:53,862
but when he reachesthe older woman,
613
00:39:53,896 --> 00:39:58,137
getting her to moveany faster proves difficult.
614
00:39:59,448 --> 00:40:00,586
She wanted to keep walking.
615
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,379
She called me a curse word
in Polish and kept walking.
616
00:40:07,413 --> 00:40:11,000
And the trainis now seconds away.
617
00:40:11,034 --> 00:40:12,689
I kind of hold her bag
and I'm like,
618
00:40:12,724 --> 00:40:14,689
"Come on, let's go."
And I'm trying to coax her.
619
00:40:14,724 --> 00:40:16,241
Like, "Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.
620
00:40:16,275 --> 00:40:18,448
Train's coming.
Train's coming. Train's coming."
621
00:40:18,482 --> 00:40:20,862
And she started moving
a lot quicker.
622
00:40:20,896 --> 00:40:23,827
Another bystanderrushes in to assist
623
00:40:24,862 --> 00:40:25,586
and then...
624
00:40:31,344 --> 00:40:32,862
I'd say it was,like, three feet,
625
00:40:33,758 --> 00:40:35,620
probably a yard away
from the train.
626
00:40:35,655 --> 00:40:38,241
I felt the wind,I felt everything.
627
00:40:38,275 --> 00:40:43,379
Somehow,all three of them make it safely off the tracks.
628
00:40:43,413 --> 00:40:47,620
This is absolutely
the definition of a heroic act.
629
00:40:47,655 --> 00:40:50,586
This is something
that was not done
630
00:40:50,620 --> 00:40:54,931
with no risk for Jonathan
or the other bystander who helped.
631
00:40:54,965 --> 00:40:59,482
This was undertaking
personal risk to save someone else
632
00:40:59,517 --> 00:41:02,551
in an impossible-to-imaginesituation.
633
00:41:02,586 --> 00:41:07,344
But for Jon,the risk was nevereven a consideration.
634
00:41:07,379 --> 00:41:08,344
Oh, no.
635
00:41:11,689 --> 00:41:15,862
There was never any thought
of, you know, myself.
636
00:41:15,896 --> 00:41:18,931
That wasn't reallythe thought at that moment.
637
00:41:18,965 --> 00:41:22,586
But once I cross the street,
638
00:41:22,620 --> 00:41:25,896
got back in my car,
that's when it really set in.
639
00:41:25,931 --> 00:41:29,896
I was like, "Wow.
That could've potentially been really stupid."
640
00:41:32,275 --> 00:41:36,413
To do something like this,
so selfless in saving her,
641
00:41:36,448 --> 00:41:39,310
just shows you the type
of character this person has.
642
00:41:40,034 --> 00:41:41,034
Oh, no.
643
00:41:41,068 --> 00:41:43,206
And trueto that character,
644
00:41:43,241 --> 00:41:46,896
Jon is just happyhe was there when he was.
645
00:41:48,379 --> 00:41:49,896
I was therefor a reason
646
00:41:49,931 --> 00:41:53,448
and being there for a reason,
I did what I would do.
647
00:41:53,482 --> 00:41:56,344
And I would do it,
to this day, probably the same thing.
648
00:41:56,379 --> 00:41:58,344
I'm not a hero,I'm just me.
649
00:41:58,379 --> 00:42:01,275
Honestly, I don't consider
myself a hero and I never will,
650
00:42:01,310 --> 00:42:02,379
I did what I needed to do.
