going to die trying. caught on camera, brace yourself. a small plane struggles to stay aloft. a pilot desperately looks for a safe place to land while the lives of everyone on board, including a seven month old baby hang in the balance. february 2nd, 2013. logan utah. she gets in an airplane the first time in her life. >> the flight was a birthday present from my parents. i 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 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. >> about a half hour in to 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 jokester and it you 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 8500 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 started gliding, 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 there was a problem. just had the thought, you know, i think i might want a recording of what i was thinking, what you going through my head. >> he only stops recording when the pilot needs help. >> he told us 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. so he told us we needed 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 a prayer in our heart and 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 of jacob who's 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. >> okay. >> when the plane crashed, it you 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 first thought was i have to get this buckle off to get my baby. >> cara's head slams in to 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 have a single scratch. i held on to him the entire time. >> no one is seriously injured. >> i just survived a crash landing. >> we were all fine. just had a little 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 have had a second chance 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 -- at midnight the night before. >> jonathon and cara have posted a video of the crash on-line hoping it will generate revenue 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 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.

>> my first thought was, wow, this really just happened. how am i not dead. i looked at myself and i was like, okay, everything is working. my body's intact. >> grandpa are you okay? grandpa, are you okay? holy [ bleep ]. >> i was like okay we have to get out this plane because it could blow up. >> ian dislodges himself from the wreckage but his grandfather is stuck. his legs trapped by equipment that hit imon impact. >> he helped me get out of the airplane. luckily for both of us we didn't 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 i was alive. he was mainly mad because he crashed it. >> i felt very sad. instantly exasperated, sad.

how could i have done this? i have 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 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 hi knee and treat him for a fractured stern numb.

>> august 28th, 2013, layton, pennsylvania. mike is where he loves to be every saturday night, behind the wheel of race car at the mahoning valley speedway. >> i got interested in racing but a my dad 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 him 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 perry is in the stands 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 in to 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 is a car coming down the track. 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 you my first time going on my side. it was all right, go through the driver checklist and start to get out of the car. >> although mike turns the engine off, fuel drips in to 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, i'm fine but i'm stuck in my seat belt. can you stand the car up so i can release it. >> as the crew heaves the car upright it bursts in to 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. i couldn't see anything in front of me except yellow. i said to myself don't panic. if you panic you are 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. >> they can't see if he is 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. >> i did feel the this last couple of seconds somebody's hand come in and kind of guide me. 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 burns. >> they all singed their arms a little bit i guess you could say. if those guys would have gotten scared and let the car go it would have fallen on its side. the fire would have kept getting fuel dumped in it to. 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 heart beat. when i first showed up at the racetrack, people were going oh my god, thank god you weren't here. 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 is 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 get it before it got a chance to set in. had my greatest fear realized and lived through it. >> later that night, she sees the video recorded in the car during 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. [ screaming ] oh, my god! >> when "caught on camera, brace yourself" continues.

>> maybe you have seen something like this on the "dukes of hazard." but this is the real thing. >> the scariest thing i have 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 attached to the back and it is speeding to the median lane that separates the two sides of the highway. >> i thought it was someone being stupid or 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 in to a ravine below. >> as soon as i saw him go over the ledge, i just dropped my phone. it was crazy. craziest thing i have ever ooen seen. >> she pulls off to the side of the road and called 911. at the ingham county sheriffs department the, sheriff 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 the truck was airborne for about 100 feet and landed scary on all four wheels in the creek bed below. the air bags deployed cushioning the driver's landing.

>> frankly, i was spried that we didn't 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 over on to the highway and placed in an ambulance that was ready to transport to the hospital. [ sirens ] >> while moreland is rushed off for emergency care can, police are left wondering why he sped off the road at more than 60 miles an hour. >> at that point in time we started to look 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 being launched in to the ravine. mr. moreland suffered a partially collapsed lung, had a lower lumbar fracture and 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 bad 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 are putting other people in harm's way. >> flint believes 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 in. coming up -- >> this is it. this is how i'm going to die. >> man versus gravity. >> the thought this could be your last few moments does go through your mind. >> when "caught on camera, brace yourself" continues. new always discreet underwear for sensitive bladders from always, the experts in femine protection

here is what's happening. it is christmas at the vatican today, pope francis condemned religious violence, highlighting plight of victims in syria and iraq. and "the interview" is out. sony pulled it following a massive cyber breach. in an about face, sony released the movie online. actor seth rogue and surprised and thanked theater goers at an l.a. screening last night. now back to "caught on camera." ever had that nightmare where you are falling from the sky? well, wake up. this is really happening. >> i remember thinking in my head, this is it. this is how i'm going to die. >> december 13th, 2006, new zealand. sky diving instructor michael holmes is on his fifth jump of

the day. he has a camera built in to hi helmet to capture first-time sky divers 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 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 sky divers, 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. when holmes pulls the release chord, 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, jonathon king, has just jumped and is videotaping a client's descent when he notices that holmes is spiraling 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, 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 are, waiting until he is below 1,000 feet to pull the reserve. >> below 1,000 feet, i'm dead any way. 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 at more than 50 miles an hour. >> i remember thinking in my head, this is it. this is how i'm going to diechlt i was like oh, you are 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 hi last moments alive. >> >> a lot of emotion because i thought i was going to die. >> holmes crashes through a thicket of thorny blackberry bushes and in to the ground. >> i remember seeing the ground coming up and 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. >> i broke my left ankle in quite an impressive way. there was severe bruising all over me. the blackberry bush inserted in to me everywhere and 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 sky diving job, performing 10 to 15 jumps a day. >> so, just back to normal. i have done it since i was 17 for work. 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. >> it's one of the most daring stunts you'll ever see and it's caught on camera. may 25th, 2012, henley entames, england. he is attempting to jump from 2400 feet without a parachute. a film and tv stuntman and avid base jumper, he 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 will be the first person ever intentionally to sky dive 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. then you have 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 wind 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 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. think helicopter climbs to 2400 feet, the height of two empire state building if you stack one on top of the other.

nearly a half mile in to 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 catcher 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 the any good. >> as i approached the boxes, one has to make a commitment or not. i remember everything just settling.

>> connery crashes in to the boxes and disappears in to 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 recorder for the highest sky dive without a parachute. videos from local news and spectators hit the internet within minutes and go viral. >> my life is changed dramatically. i'm certainly asked to do things in the past i wouldn't have been asked to do. >> things like parachuting dressed as the queen of england in to the opening ceremony of the london games. >> i think everybody likes to test themselves every so often. i'm no different but my testing goes a little bit higher. >> coming up -- >> oh holy --! >> 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 yourself" continues. why do i take metamucil everyday? because it helps me skip the bad stuff. i'm good. that's what i like to call, the meta effect. 4-in-1 multi-health metamucil now clinically proven to help you feel less hungry between meals. experience the meta effect with our new multi-health wellness line.

this senior has been looking forward to it all night long. >> it is compared to homecoming for wrestling. we turn off the lights in the gym and just have that one spotlight over the top of the mat. it lights up the whole match and the gym is packed full of kids. >> the madison daily leader, a local news outlet is streaming the event live on its website. michael's mother, heather, is up in the stands. >> i love watching michael wrestle. this was my chance to get to see him under the lights. >> in her excitement, she can't manage her son facing anything more menacing than an opponent. mieskal and his competitors step on to the mat. >> the ref says go and we start wrestling. and he got a takedown on me.

we were close to the edge of the mat. >> the wrestlers need to reset. >> when you go out of bounds, you go back to the middle of the mat and start in referee's position which is where you go on your hands and knees and the other person comes on top of you. >> michael gets in to position, but before his opponent approaches -- >> oh, holy --! >> the 80-pound spotlight falls 12 feet on to michael's back. >> i thought the guy was being really aggressive but then it was really bright. michael's mother watches helplessly from the stands. >> i was absolutely horrified. i didn't know if he was going to be able to get up. >> holy --! >> i tried to stand up right away and i couldn't get up. i fell back down. i was just thinking get it off

of me. >> the referee and other wrestle act quickly to pull the heavy light off of michael. >> that was the scariest thing, folks, i think i have ever seen. >> i walked off the side of the mat and told people my head's bleeding. >> a light bulb shattered on michael's forehead. heather rushes down from the bleachers. >> i wanted to know how badly he was wounded and when i could see they had gone through a couple of small towels and he was bleeding right through them. >> right away i just wanted to get back out there and wrestle. it didn't phase me the light had fallen on me. i just wanted to finish wrestling. >> instead michael's family rushed him to the hospital where doctors close ed the wound on his forehead with stitches and tend to minor cuts on his knees. miraculously he has no other injuries. since the lights were l.e.d.s he

didn't get burned. >> if michael had been standing, he could have broken his neck. if he had been off to one side and the aluminum frame hit him, it could have easily broken bones or we could have lost him. >> yeah. >> the video of michael's accident draws viewers to the madison daily leaders website and quickly goes viral. >> my brother actually took it and posted it on a bunch of websites for people to see. within a week, i went from five views and then it was like 300,000 and then it was like wow. >> michael's newfound fame earns him a nickname in his small south dakota town. >> people call me hollywood and joke around. >> in a couple of weeks, michael's back out on the mat.
