Glacier national park, montana.

Justin and charlie biltin are headed deep into the wilderness

Of this majestic 1,500-square-mile park,

Planning to set up camp alongside the very remote

And very beautiful lake mcdonald.

Justin: My father and mother used to go out to montana

For vacation years ago,

And they always heard about how beautiful glacier was.

So he always wanted to go.

But this father-son adventure is off to an ominous start.

[ thunder rumbles, cracks ]

Before traveling into the woods,

They learn that a fire, which was sparked by lightning,

Is burning inside the park just 4 miles

From where they plan to set up camp.

And with only one road in or out,

They are afraid of getting trapped.

But local fire officials reassure them.

Charlie: When we drove in, there was a fire crew,

And they said, "no problem, you guys are good."

That will never come down the ridge.

And so justin and charlie proceed to their camp.

We got into the campsite about 4:30, and we set up,

And we were just sitting down to make dinner.

When suddenly, an alarming scene

Is playing out along the nearby ridge.

We saw the fire, and it was starting to come our way.

We could see the flames coming down the ridge,

And we knew at that point it wasn't good.

So we decided to drive out of it.

But remember, there's only one way out.

At first, the men are confident they're in the clear.

But then as they turn the corner...

[ justin gasps ]

It became apparent...

...That it was much further spread than we had thought.

Every tree up the entire ridge was burning like a matchstick

That would go up in flames, all at once, entirely.

It looked like we were driving into a tunnel of red glow.

The realization that we could very likely die

Became more and more intense

As I realized how far the fire had spread.

Delgado: I don't think there's anything worse than thinking

That you are going to burn to death.

I didn't want him to panic.

It's your son. You want to keep him calm.

You don't want to think that this could be the end.

Only a few miles from safety, with each turn,

Justin and charlie hold their breath,

Praying they can escape the menacing blaze

And make it out alive.

What?

But then, horror -- the narrow dirt road

Is now completely engulfed by the ferocious wildfire...

...Drawing father and son right into the middle of the inferno.

What happens if we blow a tire?

What happens if a fuel line catches?

It was pretty scary to hear the trees exploding like bombs

Going off and snapping.

It did feel like we were driving through hell.

My panic was increasing the deeper we got into the fire.

Pinn: Driving under those circumstances

Requires a certain level of calmness.

Panic wouldn't increase the likelihood of surviving.

I'm actually an atheist,

But I was just praying to whatever power

Might be greater than me to, like, protect us

And help us somehow get out of this.

Narrator: Dodging the vicious flames at every turn,

The guys still have 2 miles to go before reaching safety.

But then...

A burning tree has fallen across the road,

Making it impossible to pass.

We were trapped, and there was nothing we could do.

So this is it.

He wanted to get out and move it.

Thankfully, justin talks his dad out of it.

I was just grateful that he stayed in the car.

With no way to move forward,

They quickly come up with a plan to head back in reverse.

I was just focused on the 10 feet or so

I could see behind the car

From the rear lights through the smoke.

Things are extremely tense

As justin drives backwards for two full minutes.

Finally do get to a point where I can do a three-point turn.

And then we drove forward, back to where we had started.

But it's clear the danger is far from over.

They are trapped, and it's only a matter of time

Before the fire reaches them.

But suddenly, they hear a sound.

It's a boat!

Justin and charlie rush down to the lake

And spot two park employees onboard.

We were waving and yelling, and they came in and picked us up.

And thank god they did.

I was real relieved when they finally came out.

I thought, "we're gonna be safe now."

A supercell can last anywhere from a couple hours

To 12 hours, easily.

January 24, 2020.

Ingham, australia,

A small town in the scenic state of queensland.

Lately, there's a rash of unwanted visitors --

A monster swarm of bats,

Roughly 300,000 of them, that have taken over the town.

And the humans are vastly outnumbered.

Local resident nicole arnold has been enduring firsthand

This disturbing transformation from quiet neighborhood

Into bat-infested wasteland.

We moved here in 2009.

When we arrived here, I don't recall bats.

I'd say the end of 2019, they started to get pretty bad.

But it wasn't until early 2020

That it was of plague proportions.

You could just look up at the sky, and it was just black.

As far as the eye could see, they were everywhere.

Delgado: I mean, this is an invasion of the worst kind.

When you're talking about bats, it's called,

"I'm staying in my house

And I'm not coming outside until you're all gone."

Arnold: It was about 7:00 at night,

And I'd say that was the worst week of the bat plague.

You just could not believe your eyes.

There had to be hundreds of thousands,

Like a tornado had just swept up all these bats.

Just squealing, noises, screeching.

And they're not little, either, these bats.

They're huge!

I was blown away, absolutely gobsmacked.

Cano: To the average person seeing this, they might think,

"oh, no, something bad is about to happen or something bad

Is happening right now."

Aten: If you look back into ancient times,

Early people had superstitions around bats.

In fact, there were some cultures where they actually

Thought bats were witches or evil spirits.

Martin: And there's this connection with dracula

And vampires and blood and death.

And so to have them all together is pretty overwhelming.

Arnold: The stench that these bats gave off.

You couldn't open your windows up

Because the stench would just wash through.

Phoenix: Their feces are actually really caustic,

So you need to go hose your car down right away,

Otherwise it eats through the paint.

Narrator: But why are these vile creatures,

Better known as flying foxes, here in the first place?

Abbott: These are fruit bats.

What they want is nectar, pollen, fruit.

They're the ones that pollinate the plants,

Spread the seeds, and the rest of the plants

And the animals are dependent upon those bats.

Narrator: And when that population exploded

Due to multiple species mating out of control,

The web-winged beast began to wreak havoc throughout this

Once-peaceful town.

Arnold: They started to move into the trees behind

The ingham state school.

Because their colony got so big,

The parents were refusing to send their kids back to school.

They also played havoc with the rescue chopper.

Narrator: And just like those vampires from the movies,

These bats do pose a legitimate threat to humans --

The spread of a potentially lethal disease.

Phoenix: In the us, it's rabies.

But in australia, the concern is lyssavirus.

Lyssavirus, which is carried by these flying foxes in australia,

Can be fatal if it's transmitted via a scratch or a bite.

And the actual treatment is a series of injections.

Narrator: To prevent the terrified residents

From falling prey to the dangerous critters,

Local ingham officials take action.

The council started off banging and clanging

Metal bits together,

And even some of the residents would be out banging

To scare them off to stop them roosting in the trees.

Narrator: But the harsh tone of banging metal isn't enough.

So experts are brought in to detonate pyrotechnics

That will hopefully scare the bats off once and for all.
