"caught on camera: brace yours." a small plane struggles to stay aloft, and a pilot desperately looks for a safe place to land while the lives of evan on board including a 7-month-old baby hang in the balance. february 2nd, 2013, logan, utah. cara fielding gets in to a airplane for the first time in her life. >> the flight was a birthday present from my parents. i had just turned 22 years old and they arranged this with a family friend of ours who agreed to take me up. >> since the single-engine cessna seats four, cara brings along her mother and her husband jonathon.

he suggests they also bring their 7-month-old son jacob. >> i almost begged like, hey, let's bring jacob along. this will be so much fun. everything will be fine. i'll hold him. >> so i relented and let him bring him up and that was the most scary part about it is knowing that he was in the plane with us and not buckled. >> in the air the five of them take in utah's magnificent landscape. >> the weather was the best weather we have had in weeks. it was really exciting. >> but about a half hour into the flight, the pilot has some worrisome news. >> the pilot let us know that something was wrong. >> ice has formed on the carburetor cutting off the engine from its fuel supply. >> i didn't believe him because i know he's a little bit of a jokester, and it was my first time. >> but this is no joke. >> the engine had severely lost power.

he did everything he was supposed to. he had the carburetor heat on and let it out even more to try to rid itself from the ice. >> it's too late. at 8,500 feet, the engine stops running. >> he told us we're going to have to make a landing back here. we're not going to make it back to the airport. >> the pilot can still steer the plane, but he can't keep it from descending. >> the plane just started gliding, kind of like being on a roller coaster without the rails underneath you. things were really wrong. so i started praying because that's what i know to do. >> jonathon has a different response. >> i started videoing shortly after he let us know that there was a problem. just had the thought, you know, i think i might want a recording of what i was thinking, what was going through my head. >> he only stops recording when the pilot needs help. >> he told us that we needed to find a place to land. >> we had about four minutes to look out the windows and look for places.

>> a road would be ideal but there were so many power lines and the roads turned too quick or there were cars. and so he told us we needed to look for somewhere to bring the plane down and not involve other people. >> the pilot spots a snow-covered field. everyone on board braces for the landing. >> just got a prayer in our heart and i think we're going to be just fine. >> jonathon holds his infant son in one hand and starts recording video again with the other. >> as i was filming, i was fully expecting just this smooth landing. >> my mind kind of seized up. i was thinking about jacob who was in the back and not in a seat belt. >> well, right now we're looking for a place to land. we're looking for a straightaway. all right. we're going to land in the

field right here. >> is everyone okay? >> when the plane crashed, it was like a whole blur of black and white. everything just spun around. >> the snow is too deep for the plane to glide across the field. the front wheels dig in and the back somersaults. they jolt to a stop upside down. >> is everybody okay? >> the camera slips out of jonathon's hand and lands in the front of the plane, still recording. >> when we came to rest, my very first thought was i vus to get this buckle off to get my baby. >> kara's head slams into the ceiling during the crash and now she dangles with her seat belt

and her feet from the air. but her mothering instinct shuts out any pain or trauma she maybe feeling. without a second thought she unlatches her belt. >> i jumped out and screamed for jacob and got him and once he was in my arms i was okay. >> he didn't even have a single scratch. i held onto him the entire time. >> in fact, no one is seriously injured. >> i just survived a crash landing. >> we were all fine. we just got a little bit of whiplash. afterwards i grabbed the phone and just documented what was going on. >> cara, are you okay? >> yeah, i'm all right. >> are you ever going to fly again? >> yeah. >> the crash has really affected my life. i feel like i've had a second chance, you know, to live. i definitely spend more time with jacob because i could have lost him. >> it's really given us a second chance really at appreciating what's most important. to us, that's family.

>> in the end, the only casualty of the crash is the airplane. >> the plane is completely totalled. it was beyond repair. >> the pilot's insurance lapsed at midnight the night before. >> jonathon and cara have posted the video of the crash online hoping it will generate revenue and income from ads and licensing and plan to reimburse the pilots. >> he saved our lives by his experience and knowing what to do. this place could have been our burial ground right out there. pilots don't always have time to prepare for a crash landing. brace yourself. this plane's going down. >> i thought i was going to die. sunday, august 12th, 2012, ida, michigan. ian is along for a ride in his

grandfather's small plane a kick fox 7. >> i was excited. i was always excited to go up in and see the town. >> at 84 years old wilbert has been flying planes for more than 60 years. >> i feel that i'm capable of flying. i have friends that are older than i am that have still flying. >> i've never been scared to fly with my grandpa or do anything with him. i trust him with my life. >> ian snaps pictures as they go over lake erie and neighboring towns. >> it was getting late and so we decided to head back in. >> wilbert steers the plane toward a landing strip on a friend's property. ian hits record on his phone. >> i just want to take video of the sunset and of the landing because i had never had before. i thought it was going to be a normal landing, as usual. >> instead, he catches a terrifying moment on camera.

>> holy [ bleep ]! >> the plane clips a telephone wire, sending them into a nosedive toward the grass. >> i just braced myself. it was very, very scary. i literally thought i was going to die. i was like, okay, here we go. this is it. >> i had no time to do anything but ride it out. >> the wing hits the ground first. then the nose crashes down at a 45-degree angle. >> are you okay? ian's phone continues recording audio in the frantic moments after the crash. >> holy [ bleep ]! grandpa, are you okay? grandpa, are you okay? >> my first thought was, wow, this really just happened. how am i not dead. i looked at myself and i was

like, okay, everything's working, my body's in tagt. >> grandpa are you okay? grandpa, are you okay? holy [ bleep ]. i was just like, okay, we've got to get out of this plane because it could blow up. >> ian dislodges himself from the wreckage but his grandfather is stuck. his legs trapped by equipment that collapsed around him on impact. >> so he lifted my 230 pounds out of the doorway and helped me get out of the airplane. luckily for both of us, we did not have any fire so we were able to get out of the plane without any further injury. >> help soon arrives on the scene. >> i was just excited that i was alive. he was mainly mad because he crashed it. >> i felt very sad. instantly very exasperated, sad. how could i have done this?

i'm done flying. i'll never fly again. >> the plane was a wreck. >> but ian's biggest concern is his grandfather's health. >> okay. >> he could be hurt from internal bleeding or injuries. i was very scared. he's been one of my greatest mentors throughout my whole entire life. he's taught me so many things and i don't know where i would be without him. >> doctors give wilbert three stitches in his knee and treat him for a fractured sternum. doctors examine him thoroughly and ian has nothing more than a few small scratches on his shins. ian and his grandfather both recover fully. >> i do have a new outlook on life. i easily could have died. >> ian takes every opportunity to share his video of the crash with friends. >> i use it as a way to show people, you know, you only have

one life to live so just try to make the best of it. >> as for wilbert, he just wants to be back in the sky. >> if i had those thoughts of never flying again, i have since canceled them out. i love to fly. i feel i'm capable of flying and i'm going to fly that airplane again, too, because i've already started rebuilding it. coming up -- >> i'm thinking to myself, don't panic. you don't want to die today stuck in a car. >> when "caught on camera: brace yourself" continueses. do you lose it all? not you. new touch of gray mustache and beard reduces gray without getting rid of it all in just 5 minutes. for the perfect gray look you want. new touch of gray mustache and beard. ♪

crash and burn. >> i definitely do not want to burn to death. i mean that's my biggest fear.

>> august 28th, 2013, layton, pennsylvania. mike is where he loves to be every saturday night, behind the wheel of a race car at the mahoning valley speedway. >> i got interested in racing by my dad who raced for probably 30 years. by the age 11 i already learned how to drive a car. >> at age 36 he has been racing stock cars for years. >> he was honest with me when we started dating about how racing was his first love, will always be his first love and that was that. >> it's a passion more dangerous than most. >> i do get nervous a lot. but i know push comes to shove he's going to be all right because he's a good driver.

>> marlena usually watches mike race, but this night she's at home while he competes. >> i'm pregnant and that's part of the reason i stayed home that night. >> mike's cousin colton perry is in the grandstands with their grandfather taking video of the race. >> i go every saturday. he's pretty fun to watch. >> another camera records from inside the car. about one minute into the race, mike in car number 83 is falling behind. we were actually running second last. i was trying to work my way up through. all i remember seeing was a car coming down the track and i'm thinking, man, i'm going for a ride here. and as soon as we touched wheels, i was up in the air. >> flipping over is fairly common in stock car racing. at first mike isn't worried. >> the impacts didn't really hurt. just an everyday accident.

even though it was my first time going on my side, it was, all right, go through the driver check list and start getting out of the car. >> although mike turns the engine off, fuel drips into the car. >> i saw the fuel dripping out of the carburetor and i thought if i can get my belts off, i will flip it. >> because he's on his side mike has trouble removing his seat belt. fuel continues to leak, threatening to ignite at any moment. the pit crew rushes to help him. >> they started asking are you all right. i kept telling them, yeah, i'm fine, but i'm stuck in my seat belts. can you sustain the car so i can release it. >> as the crew heaves the car upright, it bursts into flames. the camera continues recording while the fire spreads. >> i was trapped. it crossed my mind i had died. >> when the fire started, i was actually really afraid.

i didn't want to lose him that day. >> by the time they got it on all four wheels, it spread pretty quick. the last couple of seconds i couldn't see anything in front of me except for yellow. i'm thinking to myself, don't panic. if you panic, you're slowing yourself down. get out as quick as you can. you have friends and family here today. you don't want to die stuck in a car. >> in the stands mike's cousin and grandfather can't see if he's okay. >> it was a big ball of fire surrounding the car. i was really scared at that moment. >> behind the wall of fire and smoke, a race car staff member pulls mike out of the car. >> he's out of the car. >> i did feel in the last couple of seconds somebody's hand come in and kind of guide me, you know, this is a way out. as soon as i felt that, that's the way i went. >> after 13 seconds in the overturned car, mike escapes uninjured.

some of his rescuers have minor burns. >> they all singed their arms a little bit i guess you could say. if those guys would have gotten scared and let that car go, it would have fallen back on its side obviously. the fire would have kept getting fume dumped into it. i probably would have ended up dying. >> as soon as i got a phone call as to what actually happened, i was there in a heartbeat. when i first showed up at the racetrack, people were going, oh, my god, thank god you weren't there, that was the most horrible thing we ever saw. i was shaken up at that point. michael was not shaken up at all. >> mike's car makes a surprisingly speedy recovery. >> the car didn't really sustain any injuries besides cosmetics. the miracle that night, i guess you could say, we got the car back together 25 minutes later. >> there was no ifs, ands, or

buts about it, he was ready to go. >> less than an hour after his car turned no a fire ball, mike is back on the track competing in another race. he comes if fifth. >> i wanted to kick the scare in the butt before it got a chance to sit in. >> later that another marlene sees the video recorded inside the car of the crash. >> i couldn't handle it. i literally walked out of the house crying. >> but she still won't get between her husband and his race car. >> i know that's what he loves to do, and i would never ask him not to race. >> a true racer has no fear about getting in that car week in and week out. coming up, get ready for impact. and later, a relaxing family vacation.

maybe you've seen something like this on the "dukes of hazard." but this is the real thing. >> it's the scariest thing i've ever seen in my life. >> august 16th, 2013, michigan. a freshman at michigan state university is on her way to dance team practice. >> i was driving down the freeway with my window down because it you hot out. >> glancing to her left, she sees a silver pickup truck with a trailer hitched to the back and it's speeding into the median lane that separates the two sides of the highway. >> i thought it was someone being stupid or trying to be funny and i got my phone out and thought it would be funny to record it and show friends later. >> law enforcement officers don't recommend video recording while driving. >> i saw him like go right through a sign on the median. that's when i realized it was

probably something serious. >> the median lane abruptly ends. the truck speeds over the edge and disappears into a ravine below. >> as soon as i saw him go over the ledge, i just dropped my phone because it was crazy. it was the craziest thing i'd ever seen. >> she pulls off to the side of the road and called 911. at the inglam county sheriff's department, shft flint is on duty. >> i'm the shift supervisor and responded out there. i didn't know if it would be a fatality or fender bender. i have been doing this 20 years. i've never seen anything like this. >> examining the accident site, flint can tell that the truck was airborne for about 100 feet

and landed square on all four wheels in the creek bed below. the air bags deployed cushioning the driver's landing. >> frankly i was surprised that we department have a fatality. >> they identify the driver as 58-year-old mark moreland. >> i think he was in quite a bit of shock. he was talking, but he wasn't making sense. from the time that i arrived on the scene, it was about 15 minutes to stabilize mr. moreland down in the creek bed, put him on a backboard, and then he was lifted out with the use of a ladder truck over onto the highway. he was then placed in an ambulance that was ready to transport to the hospital. [ sirens ] >> while moreland is rushed off for emergency care, police are left wondering why he sped off the road at more than 60 miles per hour. >> at that point in time we we started looking at the accident scene with some of my investigators.

>> eyewitness accounts, along with the trail of debris, offer up some clues. >> he didn't slow down or make any evasive turns or anything like that. he just kept his speed. mr. moreland suffered some sort of medical incident prior to him getting launched into the ravine. mr. moreland suffered a partially collapsed lung, he had a lower lumbar fracture, and he had a fractured ankle. >> the driver is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries. >> i was actually very surprised when i found out the driver was still alive because i had thought for sure that he was either in critical condition or like dead because it was such a crazy thing. >> we were very fortunate this was a single-car accident. no one else was hurt. we didn't have any other residual damage. >> police don't learn about stacks video until a couple of days later when it goes viral. >> when i saw the video, it just solidified what we were seeing at the accident scene.

live video is a wonderful thing, but i would encourage people not to videotape and drive at the same time because you're putting other people in harm's way. >> flint believes that moreland owes his life to air bags, his seat belt, and auto engineering. >> technology is a wonderful thing. we have a vehicle that's designed to crumble away, protecting the victims and it was captured on video phone. what a wonderful world we live n. coming up -- >> this is it. this is how i'm going to die. >> man versus gravity. >> the thought of this could be your last few moments does go through your mind. >> when "caught on camera: brace yourself" continues. ♪ and that's why i take prilosec otc each morning

he has a camera built into his helmet to capture first-time skydivers as they make their descent. >> it was beautiful conditions, and just felt like any other day. >> but you wouldn't be watching this on "caught on camera" if it were any other day. >> things started to go wrong very soon after i activated my main parachute, like almost immediately. >> holmes parachute fails to open properly. >> immediately i started spinning out of control. >> for holmes, this actually isn't cause for concern. it's happened to him eight times before. yes, eight. like all skydivers, he has a reserve parachute. >> i thought, oh, it's no big deal. the main parachute is not functioning right. i will get rid of it. i pulled the cut-away handle and that's meant to release me from that parachute. >> it's crucial to get rid of the main chute before opening up

the backup. otherwise the two can get tangled causing the second chute to malfunction as well. but when holmes pulls the release cord, the main parachute doesn't detach. >> i was shocked. i was like this is not good. i knew that it wasn't a situation that i could really survive. if you are not trained for this to happen, that's just not something that's in the book really. >> above him holmes' colleague and friend jonathan king has just jumped and is videotaping a client's descent when he notices that holmes is spiralling out of control. king catches a second view of the action on his helmet cam. holmes faces a tough decision, his main parachute, while malfunctioning, is slightly

slowing his descent. if he pulls the reserve parachute and it gets caught in the mangled main chute, it will not only fail to open but it could interfere with the little bit of drag he has and actually speed up his descent. >> it's either going to make it better -- it's either going to have the magic, open, slow it all down, crisis averted, or i pull the reserve and it reduces the drag and then definitely, definitely dead. >> holmes takes a calculated risk, waiting until he's below 1,000 feet to pull the reserve. >> below 1,000 feet, i'm dead anyway. i was like, here we go. i grabbed the reserve and i was like, well, nothing else to lose now. if i'm going to die, i'm going to die trying. so that's what i did. >> just as holmes feared, the chutes get tangled. he picks up speed and spins faster, hurdling toward the

ground as more than 50 miles an hour. >> i remember thinking in my head, this is it. this is how i'm going to die. i was like, oh, you're kidding me. this is the way i'm going to go. [ bleep ]. >> in the seconds before landing, holmes remembers the camera on his helmet and uses it to memorialize what he thinks are his last moments alive. >> i caught a lot of emotion in the last bit because i thought i was going to die. >> holmes crashes through a thicket of thorny blackberry bushes and into the ground. >> i remember seeing the ground coming up and then straight away once i hit the ground, it went black and i was blacked out. >> moments later, king lands nearby, not sure if his friend is dead or alive. >> he was calling out to me and waiting for a response. he didn't hear anything.

he was expecting to see a body, not a body that was still able to talk. >> are you okay? >> no. >> i broke my left ankle in quite an impressive way. there was severe bruising all over me. there was blackberry bush inserted into me everywhere, and it collapsed my lung. >> the horrific experience and ensuing injuries are not enough to keep holmes on the ground. after an eight-month recovery, he returns to his skydiving job, performing 10 to 15 jumps a day. >> so just like back to normal. i've done it since i was 17 for work, and i love every single day i go to work. i just love it. it's my life. i love it.

>> as long as his parachute functions properly, it's a good day. but for this guy, jumping without deploying a parachute is the whole point. >> one mistake when you are close to the ground. and you're done. >> it's one of the most daring stunts you'll ever see and it's caught on camera. may 25th, 2012, henley entames, england. harry conley is attempting to jump from 2,400 feet without a parachute. a fully. and tv stuntman as well as an avid base jumper, conry is no stranger to high-flying feats. >> i have jumped from the eiffel tower, rid an bmx bike, the london eye, inside the millennium dome.

>> each of those times he used a parachute, but this jump is different. if he succeeds, he'll be the first person ever intentionally to skydive without using one. connery spent months working with a designer to create a custom wing suit. >> wing suits are basically suits made of simple material. they are double skinned. and then you've got air intakes up on the shoulders here. so it kind of inflates like a double air bag. we made it much thicker. so it allowed me to fly much, much slower. >> connery's idea of slow may be different from yours and mine. even with the wing suit, he'll hit the ground at nearly 70 miles an hour. still he's planning to cushion his landing using, of all things, a massive row of boxes. >> cardboard is amazing stuff really in terms of breaking one's fall.

my rate was 350 feet long, 42 feet wide, and probably about 12 feet deep. >> a team of more than 100 friends and supporters spends all morning building the landing area before connery puts it and himself to the test. >> i remember walking with my wife across to the helicopter helicopter and we had a big hug and squeeze and cuddle and kiss and she walked off in tears. and that caused me to be in tears. >> it's no surprise connery's wife is concerned. between the years, 2000 and 2012, more than 50 people died in wing suit jumps. the hospital hospital the help continuer climbs to 2,400 feet, the height of two

empire state buildings, if you stack one on top of the other. nearly a half mile into the sky. >> certainly the feeling or the thought of this could be your last few moments does go through your mind. >> connery takes the plunge. above him, another jumper catches his descent on helmet cam while connery's supporters take video from the ground. connery maneuvers his suit to direct him toward the target. he has a parachute he can deploy if he thinks he might miss, but below 100 feet, it won't do any good. >> as i approach the boxes, you're getting to a point of no return, where one has to make a commitment or not. i remember everything just settling. >> connery crashes into the boxes and disappears into the pile. for a few tense moments, the crowd is unsure if he's okay.

then he emerges without a scratch. connery sets the world record for the highest skydive without a parachute. videos from local news and spectators hit the internet within minutes and go viral. >> i wouldn't say my life has changed dramatically. i'm certainly being asked to do things in the past i wouldn't have been asked to do. >> things like parachuting dressed as the queen of england into the opening ceremony of the summer games in london. >> i think everybody likes to test themselves every so often. i'm no different. it's just that my testing maybe goes a little bit higher. coming up -- >> holy smackers. >> -- an unexpected takedown. >> i was absolutely horrified. i didn't know if he was going to be able to get up. >> when "caught on camera: brace

intention of keeping this gem a secret. >> we thought the video went missing, but apparently brian stuck the video in his suitcase and took it home and posted it on youtube. >> to steve's dismay, the video spreads around their hometown in illinois. then over the course of a year it goes viral. steve's captivating performance gets more than 2 million hits on youtube. >> one morning "the today show" called. >> my biggest fear is heights. so that didn't help a whole lot. >> have you ever seen him like that before? >> no, not really. >> grace elizabeth, i have two words for you this summer, bungee jumping. >> the attention the video has generated for the family has been really cool and fun. wherever we go we get recognized and people want to talk about it. all three of my kids just think it's a blast.
