opening series to a james bond movie. >> may 1980. brisbane, australia. greg rogers is chief pilot for news 7 brisbane. a call comes in about a yacht in distress. >> we got word there was a boat in trouble off the island. >> greg and the cameraman took off in the chopper 7 news chopper to perform what they assume would be a routine water rescue in morton bay. they don't have exact coordinates for the boat's location. they spot a different vessel, the water police, who are responding to the mayday call. greg hopes the water police know where the troubled boat is, but he can't confirm this by radio. >> they were on a different frequency. we didn't have that frequency with us. so that added to the problems. we couldn't see anything up ahead where they were heading, so we turned around and went back a little ways.

and actually then we found the yacht and it was in a precarious position. >> after two days navigating stormy seas, skipper malcolm dickson is trapped in morton bay's shallow waters. his girlfriend and her small child huddle below deck as malcolm battles the waves. >> it was just disappearing in behind these swells that were just enormous. >> from his point in the air, greg sees the yacht is in real trouble. the front sail is in shreds and the engine has failed leaving the skipper unable to maneuver. then things get worse. a monster wave smashes into the boat destroying the mast and throwing malcolm overboat into churning white water. >> it just enveloped the whole craft. we thought then that was the end. >> as the men in the news chopper watch helplessly,

malcolm who is tied to a lifeline manages to scramble back on board. the situation looks dire. but then the coast guard appears. >> we thought thank god, they've arrived. now we'll be able to get this guy out of this predicament. but it became very obvious quickly they had their own problems. >> once we were out there, the waves were bigger than the boats. >> collin ward is one of the two-man coast guard rescue crew. they also have a hard time pinpointing the yacht's location. >> in those days there was no radar. there was no gps. we located the vessel mainly by the helicopters flying above it. it was complete white water everywhere. so we never physically saw the boat until the last moment. >> as they try to ride over the crest of the waves, one of their engines fails. >> the fact we lost power made us dead in the water. it was basically hang on and hope you ride out the third wave. unfortunately, the wave closed in. >> got halfway around and the

next set of swells hit them and then it was just chaos for them. >> greg can't believe what he's seeing. the pounding waves swallow the coast guard vessel flipping it and tossing both men into the ocean. >> the boat had an air pocket under it, luckily. we were able to get out and swim around to the bow. i knew if i didn't get back the boat, i was gone. i had to get back to that boat. >> the men make it out of the water but are now stranded on the overturned hull. >> once we got into that sort of trouble, we didn't know how we were going to get out of it. we were fighting for our own life then. >> as the capsized boat bobs wildly, the men hang on for their lives. just then a chopper from the west pack helicopter rescue service arrives. eddie bennett is the crew chief for the organization in 2012. >> on the day the conditions were far from ideal. we had six to seven meter waves breaking on shallow sandbanks.

must have been horrendous for them. >> eddie's mentor tom ward is piloting the west pack chopper. another news station has hired tom to fly a cameraman out to get shots of the rescue. when he takes off, tom isn't planning to get involved and doesn't have a winch or trained rescue personnel on board. but when he gets to the scene, tom has a tough choice to make. >> they would have had to make some decisions about whether they were going to try and save these people or not. they were in a terrible position there. breaking water, huge seas still very, very dangerous conditions for the crew of the boat. >> with no time to waste, tom lowers his chopper. >> we thought this is crazy. we didn't expect it. this this boat is moving up and down at least 15 feet. and this chopper is coming in to basically try to pick us up. >> it's an extremely risky move. >> to do that with the boat moving up and down, left and right, forward and back, waves breaking on it, the helicopter

coming down and being blown by the wind and then at the right time lining up so the skid is on the right position so the person on the boat can grab on and climb into the helicopter. that's an absolute challenge to do. particularly since he doesn't have a crew on board. >> we all had our hearts in our mouths. we were fully expecting the chopper to possibly lose control and crash into the water, as well. >> as the pilot approaches, collin grabs the skid, but he slips and falls into the sea. tom tries again. with mere feet separating the helicopter from the boat's hull, collin steps up to safety. tom brings the chopper around to pick up the other man, but he can't quite see the height of the waves below them. >> when he come in low enough, i managed to climb on board after the second attempt. >> a small swell lifted up the hull as he chopper moved in. >> the helicopter hits the boat. >> i thought we're going to see

another crash here in a second. >> the crew men makes a desperate lunge and hanging from the helicopter. the extra weight throw the chopper off balance. >> i don't think anybody that flies would want to do that. >> as they hover just above the rough waters, the man manages to climb into the cabin. >> you have to understand the fact that our boat was not just skewing around, it was raising and dropping 15 to 20 feet. so when he come in to do the maneuver, he had to follow that boat up and down and sideways. it was a piece of flying i don't think's ever been matched to this day. it was just phenomenal. >> the coast guard crew is flown to safety. they're bruised but unharmed. the water police locate the yacht which has drifted into calmer waters and tow it to shore. the skipper and passengers are shaken but all fine. the following day members of the coast guard return to the site

to recover their damaged $25,000 boat. interviewed by a reporter on the beach, a young collin ward is still stunned by the experience. >> i've seen pretty bad conditions, but six to seven meters and breaking ten feet on top, white water everywhere. when one motor gave out, there was no chance of turning it. couldn't do a thing with it. >> they find the hull floating about four miles off shore. the channel 7 news chopper records the coast guard's attempts to right the damaged vessel. after several failed tries, they give up and tow the hull to shore. >> it was just a nightmare. i don't care to think what could have happened. but the potential for disaster was very, very great. possibly not everybody would have survived. >> simply put, those guys did a great job on the day. there are a lot of people who could have died on that day. but for the skill and expertise

of one of our pilots here. coming up, a child falls from the third story of a building. >> and she grabbed the bottom of her t-shirt like a parachute and she just went forward. and later, four friends in a small airplane crash to the ground. >> we finally realized this is happening. we're going to crash. >> when "caught on camera: twist of fate" continues. i make a lot of purchases for my business. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 50,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards, even cash back. and my rewards points won't expire. so you can make owning a business

to gas and take off and be up in the air and wasn't happening. >> as the small plane they're flying in crashes to the ground. june 30th, 2012. boise, idaho. nathan williams, tall grop and alika raff w frofrts' we are friends and hang out all the time. >> they are up for an adventure and his dad had the stinson. >> we decided to go to an area for hiking, see some beautiful areas. >> it's nathan and alec's first time in a small plane. les is an experienced pilot who flew helicopters in vietnam. >> we brought our cameras because we were excited about

it. it was going to be awesome. we're just right over the top of the mountains. >> beautiful scenery. >> after lunch at a remote site, the group prepares to take off for their next destination. les performs safety checks while the guys record the scene on small handheld cameras. >> so my dad did some calculations, added up our weight, checking the air temperature and making sure things should be okay. >> everything seems fine as they taxi down the small runway. but the plane struggles to lift off and briefly touches back down. >> that's the first point i thought there might be a little bit of trouble. >> seconds later, they float up from the ground. >> okay. good we're up. we're filming and i'm happy. >> the plane is gaining altitude, but they're still cruising close to the ground. >> it took awhile for us to get up into the air. >> they're heading straight for

a tree line. moments later, les clears the trees. everyone relaxes but only briefly. >> we're above the trees flying, and then from that point on you could tell we weren't climbing anymore. we're actually getting gradually closer to the trees. >> outside i could see the trees kind of coming up towards the wing. you finally realize this is happening. we're going to crash. >> it sounded like rapid gunfire. >> pop, pop, pop, pop. >> they're out of control. >> good and dirt was flying. at that point i hit my head really hard. >> the plane plunges. the men are upsidedown. >> everybody okay? >> the only door available was the pilot's door. so les unclipped and got out first. and then nathan got out. then tol got out.

and then i unclipped and i got out last. >> the plane is destroyed and leaking fuel. a potentially hazardous situation if it catches fire in the dry forest. the men move away from the plane. but alec braves the wreckage to look for a first aid kit and water. he discovers the cameras and they're still recording. >> i stumbled across the two cameras. they were down in the dirt kind of near the plane. i took the cameras back and handed one to nathan. >> nathan hit his head and appears to be in shock. >> i'm stunned in the video. there are things that i remember and there are things that i don't remember. even though i was acting fairly normal, it was obvious i wasn't right for a while. >> but it's les they're most concerned about. >> i saw my dad was bleeding pretty badly. >> we knew he had a broken jaw. i could tell he had a broken face because of the way his cheek was collapsed.

he communicated to us about rib pain. i thought he had a rib injury. >> fortunately for les, nathan is a dentist and alec is a physician's assistant. >> where are you hurt? on the right side of your face, okay. >> there really wasn't a whole lot we could do for him other than try to make him comfortable. >> they've survived the crash but have no way to call for help. there's no cell phone service. the nearest town is 45 minutes away. and no one expects them back for several hours. then a stroke of luck. they've crashed near a campsite. >> within five minutes there was a couple that showed up and had heard or seen this happen. >> and so they went to go get help while we waited there. >> even more good news. >> a group of firefighters happened to be traveling down the road. >> the firefighters have a satellite phone.

they call 911 for a rescue chopper. which lifts les and nathan to the hospital. >> once the helicopter left, that's the first time i really kind of got emotional about it. just the fact that we'd survived a plane crash. just looked around at all these amazing people this had come and help us. >> tol and alec in the back seats walk away barely scratched. nathan has a concussion but is otherwise fine. the pilot les has a broken jaw, broken bones in his face, an injured arm, and some cracked ribs. he has to have his jaw wired shut but makes a quick recovery. looking back the men suspect the crash was due to the weight in the plane and heat which causes the air density to thin and makes it harder for the plane to climb. catching a crash like this on camera is extremely rare. >> there's not many videos filmed inside a cockpit during a plane crash, as it turns out.

>> after seeing the footage, the friends realize how close they were to a major tragedy. >> it's amazing looking in there thinking that four of us could have even fit in there the way it was kind of compact and pushed down. >> i think we're four guys lucky to be alive. coming up, a man is buried alive under an avalanche of mud. >> translator: i didn't think it was possible for someone to be taken out from that amount of mud and debris alive. >> when "caught on camera: twist of fate" continues. hey there, i just got my bill, and i see that it includes my fico® credit score. yup, you get it free each month to help you avoid surprises with your credit.

>> translator: there were no buses, no cars, nothing. it was like a war zone. the people on the roads covered in mud carrying gas cylinders, refrigerators on their backs. >> many neighborhoods are cut off from rescue crews by weather and rough terrain. survivors search for friends and relatives using any tools they can find to dig through the mud. >> translator: it was really hard because there were lots of people buried. people crying. mothers who had lost their children. >> in a community called espanol, luciano stumbles across a tense scene. someone heard faint sounds coming from beneath the ground. luciano continues recording as people tear away at the mud and rocks. it's dangerous work. the barriers on the road above could collapse at any time sending more landslides down on top of everyone.

>> translator: the more they dug, the greater the danger at the site. it was very tense. >> as the hours tick by, hopes fade of finding anyone alive under so much mud. >> translator: i didn't think it was possible for someone to be taken out from that amount of mud and debris alive. >> then the shocking discovery of a man's head. his face is pressed against a cement wall and his body is packed deep into the earth below. it's been some 12 hours since the mudslide hit. chances are slim the man has survived this long. but as the man's torso emerges, they realize he's still breathing. the rescuers work with renewed urgency aware that every second could cost the man his life. >> translator: i remember lieutenant nasimento digging

with his bare hands. his hands were bleeding. but he wouldn't stop digging. >> they have to move carefully or risk having the earth cave in again on top of them and the man they're trying to save. it's an agonizing process. and a shock when the man's face appears. >> translator: i saw his head emerging and i realized it was marcelo. >> luciano recognizes his childhood friend marcelo franseca. it's an emotional moment. everyone cheers as rescuers lift marcelo out of the muddy hole that could have been his grave. but he's not out of danger. marcelo's body has been compressed for nearly 15 hours under 16 feet of mud and debris with only a small air pocket allowing him to keep breathing. >> translator: i tried to move my legs, but they wouldn't budge.

same with my arms. they wouldn't move. >> he needs urgent medical attention. but the torture of being trapped alone underground is finally over. >> translator: the first thing i did was to thank the lord. there were no other words. breaking news. let's go to napa, california, to queen of the valley medal center where a press conference is under way regarding the earthquake of earlier today. >> since the earthquake this morning at 3:20, we have treated 172 patients through our emergency room. 13 of those patients have been admitted to the hospital. so 13 out of 172. of those 13 admissions, 7 were for orthopedic issues, fractures. mostly hips, i think one ink l and mostly hips. we had five medical conditions.

respiratory, cardiac, what have you. nonsurgical medical conditions. and we had one admission that was totally unrelated to earthquake related. of those 13 patients, we have only 1 still in the hospital who is considered in critical condition. everybody else is in serious, stable, doing well. the bulk of our patients obviously if you do the math have been treated and released. those are as i said earlier, lacerati lacerations, bruises, cuts, things of that nature that could be treated and released. up until about an hour ago, we had two triage tents set up behind the emergency room. you've seen them over there. we have taken one of those down. we expect to be taking the other one down in the next few hours. we are moving back much more closer to normal operations. the medical center tomorrow will be running its elective surgical

schedule so our community members who have had a surgical procedure scheduled will come in for them as scheduled and moving back towards closer toward normal operations tomorrow. i want to reiterate my commendation for the first responders in our community. we have partnered beautifully with the fire and the ems aen the folks in the field who assess folks and bring those who are in need to the medical center for treatment. the response from our medical community has been outstanding so all around i have to say while it is a very unusual day for us, it's gone as well as you can hope these kind of things go. we do practice and drill for these procedures. we are in california. we know we are going to have earthquakes. the team did a beautiful job. and not just from the queen. the entire community response has been very admirable.

>> one person still in critical condition? >> i can't. i don't have any specific details. i just got the numbers for you. >> is that the one person unrelated completely or one of the -- >> no. it is one of the other patients. >> can you characterize what it's been like today? >> i will tell you that our emergency department on a normal day gets between 85 and 100 patients. we have seen 172 since 3:30 this morning. 3:20 this morning so it's been a very busy day. it's not our normal operations. we have had to assess our physical plant and we have had to identify, you know, we had water leaks to be stopped and addressed and things like that so it's been a very busy day. it's not a normal day. we are very pleased that we are working back towards more normal operations at this point. >> the person -- a quick update. one person is injured and someone who had the orthopedic

conditions or the other -- you were saying respiratory? >> i believe -- i don't know the answer to that. i'm sorry. i believe -- i believe it's a medical patient but i don't -- i don't know that -- >> man or woman? >> no. i don't. >> can you clarify 172, is that the child at the other facility? >> yes. 172 patients registered and treat treated at our emergency room, registered, released or still there. >> hospital staff injured? >> yes. during the event last night, we had i think three staff members that had like a sprained ankle and the like. we had a couple of them during the event. >> so are all 172 earthquake related? >> i don't know that i can say that. we do have folks that probably just had medical conditions that would have come to the emergency room anyway. so i don't believe i can say that. >> it's 172 then since the specific point in time? >> since the earthquake, since

3:0 this morning, we went back and checked starting at 3:20, how many people have been through the emergency room. that number is 172 and still going. we are still having folks come in. >> one -- one definitely unrelated? >> 13 patients, of those 172, 13 have been admitted. one had nothing to do with the earth quick. >> can you give us a general idea of what you may have done before about the vast majority of these patients, what type of injuries that are coming in and being -- >> sure. lots of -- in the morning the most common thing we saw were cut feet. people walking on broken glass. we saw a lot of folks who had furniture come down on them. mirror came off the wall. one gentleman had a big gash in his head. he told me it was an entertainment center that tipped over and hit him in the head so dressers came down on people. those are the most common things we saw. if not bleeding from the feet, it was something fell on them and had an injury. that was a most common thing we saw in the very first wave of

patients this morning. since migrated to people getting injured during cleanup. and that's kind of what we're seeing now. the e.r. staff let me know what we're seeing now people are coming by ambulance so we're seeing more folk that is are coming in by ambulance. some kind of injuries related to cleanup or a medical condition that's just emerged as the anxiety of the day has moved on. >> the young boy, child, you were giving a general idea of what happened to him? >> i don't know boy or girl. are you able to tell us boy or girl? >> a 13-year-old i believe a 13-year-old boy who had injuries sustained when there was some -- some -- a fireplace collapsed in the home and he was brought in here, stabilize and shipped to another medical center. i don't have anything -- >> uc davis? >> yes. >> do you know his condition? >> i don't know. he was in critical when he was? >> i don't know that. i think that's probably true.
