>> ma'am, we're on our way. >> december 23rd, twen 2008, an aging water main ruptures in bethesda, maryland, sending a massive wall of water rushing down a busy road and turning a morning compute into a nightmare for drivers. firefighters at station 10 are just pulling out, unaware a critical situation is developing monita. they immediately get stuck if traffic backed up from the flood. >> we actually to the we might have had a trash truck or something on fire and that's when we were met with about a 4-foot high wall of water hit the fire truck. it hit if fire truck so hard, we actually felt it was going to blow the window out of the fire truck. >> accustomed to the roll of rescuers, the firefighters now find themselves in a precarious position. >> for the first three, four minutes, we weren't the rescuers. we almost needed rescued

ourselves. >> from the base of the hill, they see several cars trapped in the raging waters. >> i made the initial radio transmission to our emergency communications and said we're going to need water rescue, some man power. we knew time was not on our side at that point. >> the 66-inch watermain break is pouring thousands of gallons of water down the hill. the firefighters need to act fast. >> our plan of attack was to use the fire truck as sort of a barrier between us and any debris that was coming down the road and try to make a little bit of a safe area for us. >> the rescuers fight their way upstream to reach the first car. >> we got to the lady and she was pretty panicked. when we bought the to the car, opened the door up, i remember her looking at me, she was screaming. she said, i can't swim. i kind of joked, told her, i can't swim either. we don't plan on swimming. >> he manages to get the woman

to safety. meanwhile, another is rescue team is attempting a rescue from the top of the hill. >> the water was moving extremely fast, faster than i soon it on the roadway. we guesstimated at 30-knot, which is probably 30, 40 miles an hour. >> they decided to try a tricky rescue maneuver by boat. >> when we do this operation, we do a high line, we tie a large rope between a teletone foley and a large treatment we use if pulley to -- we use the pulley to bring the boat down. >> water was severely moving. we were swept off our feet two or three times as we got close enough. >> they were eventually successful. but the firefighters are struggling to reach the mother and her young son still trapped in the vehicle. >> it's moving backwards the water is washing on us. >> are you out of the water? >> no! it's still coming.

>> the firefighters worked for several agonizing minutes. >> the force of the water is tremendous. at 18-inches or so, it was taking your feet out from underneath of you. the amount of debris coming down the street was probably the biggest hazard at that point. you had 2 or 300-mound pound chumpgs of rocks and stuff coming at you. you had to dodge them, make sure they didn't take you out. >> with the water levels rising and without further resources, they're forced to retreat. >> that's when we saw the maryland state police hobltd helicopter coming in to do part of the rescue. >> sergeant nathan wheellock is in the hangar when he receives the call for an emergency hoist rescue. >> a hoist rescue is by far the most dangerous portion of what we do of our operation and it is a last resort. when you cannot access somebody by ground or by any other means. >> as they approach, news choppers capture footage of the landscape, it's barely

recognizable. >> when my pilot turned that corner, he turned right to go up what used to be river rode and was now a rushing river, itself. there were nine cars trapped in the middle of this water that had absorbed the roadway. >> it's an extremely dangerous situation for a helicopter rescue. but it's the best chance of saving the stranded victims. >> and they were 5 to 10 feet close to an overhang of trees. electricity or a cable getting fouled. one or the other. we were in a very tight location. >> there is no time to lose. it's a bitter 20-degrees out t. icy waters are taking a toll. even worse, the wind from the helicoptor and force of the water make it too dangerous to lower anyone down for a rescue assist. so it's up to the mother to get herself and her young son into the basket.

>> we need help! >> ma'am, try to stay calm. they're coming to you. okay? >> every time the bask was coming near the car. they were throwing it out. she was trying come out the window and maintain getting in the basket. we were very concerned if she didn't get into the basket that she was going to get washed away. >> the basket is now covered in ice and slips from the woman's hands every time she tries to grab hold of it. >> frustration was starting to set in. not just frus strax, even a mild hypothermia. i wanted her to grab that basket more than anything and hold onto it and climb into it. >> after several desperate attempt, the mother manages to get her son and herself inside. >> it was an incredible sigh of relief to know i got them, they're mievenlt we're going to get them up to the side of the aircraft. >> as they're hoisted, the sergeant realizes the basket is

frozen solid. >> the mother and son get next to the aircraft the basket, the hook, everything is locked with ice. so they're not coming in. i'm not going to try to pull them out of an icy basket and potentially let them slip. so i clipped them to the end of the aircraft with a strap. they're covered in ice from tear waist down, cold, shivering. >> it's a terrifying ride, but the ordeal ends as the helicopter team touches down and rushes the pair to an ambulance. of the dozen or so people trapped in their vehicles, everyone survives the disaster. for responders, it's cause for celebration. >> when the hobblings got there, it was a pretty big relief knowing they had a chance, because at that point when we couldn't get to them, i just didn't have any idea how we were going to make that rescue. coming up, another mother and son duo gets a harsh lesson from a wild wave. >> oh my good! >> jesus.
