9:33 am
>> yeah, one of the only options on the entire route. it's mountains and trees all over. we are about five miles out just before the finish line. >> as we approach the large mountain, the engine failed and we glided over there and then a valley opened underneath. and we went down. we didn't finish the race. >> if this river bank had not been there, what would your options have been? >> before anything with the least amount of three -- >> we were quite lucky. i think it could have happened five minutes earlier. it might have been a different story. >> now, the pilot he has only been behind the controls for about a year and a half. were you impressed he was able to pull this landing off. >> i saw a photo of the two of you with an award. you won an award for the landing? >> we got an award for professionalism. >> it was amazing when they stood up and gave the standing ovation.

9:35 am
>> i want to jump over the fence and push that thing back up there. >> help a little bit. >> eventually what we end up seeing is what we think is the mom scaring all the electricpha away. she turns around and see her sticking her foot backwards trying to see where the water is. i think she is trying to get in and thinking she can do something this way. now, eventually, the whole herd, they come back. they get in the water and look, as a team, they all come together and kind of wrap this baby up in their trunks and bring this baby elephant to safety. this is an elephant rescue performed completely by elephants. >> wow, don't see that every day. >> good-looking people having tons of fun in a beautifully shot video. he has come out with his latest
