fast in the water. it's just not that common to do it in really rough water like it was that particular friday. >> the boat is smashing down, and the people on board begin to look distressed. >> there were about four or five rollers. the wake. i had never been in a boat that slapped down that hard, so i was thinking this is not good. >> the boat impacts with more rough waters spshgs suddenly the force is massive. >> i really thought the boat was going to flip. i hung on as tight as i could, and i remember closing my eyes thinking i'm going to fly out of this boat. it's way too fast of speeds. i remember thinking i'm 30 years old on earth, and this is what it comes down to. today is the day. i thought i would definitely die. >> the back end of the boat slams down into the water, prevent it from rolling, but it exerts a brutal force on the

passengers. >> they basically spun out. it was very violent. everybody in the boat goes to one side. the driver was immediately flung to the ground and the female in the center was kind of as if her feet were lake-effect tied down. her face and body hit the dash pretty violently. >> i believe the woman on the left hit the throttle sideways with her leg on the impact. it is quite scary the way the passenger falls to the ground because it almost looks fake. >> just from the first hit, it looks like he goes to the grouped, and he is not able to brace himself or hold on to anything, and you see how much force was involved. at those kind of speeds, seeing everybody fly from one side of the boat and back to the other and back again it almost looks

like rag dolls. >> it's all over in seconds as the boat slows to a stop. stunned passengers try to regain their bearings. then i remember sitting up being in shock wonder whering all the water had come from. i was very dazed and confused along with everybody else. then everybody kind of started to come to and kind of point at each other, hey, you're hurting here, you're bleeding here, and we could all see each other's wounds unfold in front of us, which is quite horrifying. >> we need help. call for help. call for help. >> a couple of us had yelled to a nearby boat, you know, call for help. >> everyone on board is taken to the hospital and treated for their injuries. there are many. >> there was shattered eye

trick artist. i don't consider trick art to be my main work. i do definitely utilize illusion. your brain takes what you see on the surface of the water and makes you think that the object you are seeing is compressed. my gold fish don't have any thickness. people automatically imagine the depth and feel. >> perfecting this intricate illusion takes years of painstaking trial and error. >> there would be pieces where i had spent months to make and just as i put in the last layer, it would get destroyed. for each layer of resin, my heart is contracting little by little making sure that no air is getting in sweating while doing it. >> don't blink. these 100 gold fish swimming through rippled water are actually part of his 2011 exhibit called gold fish salvation in london's icm

gallery. >> this is the curator and director of the exhibit that posts his largest resin creation. the inside of a wooden pail more than four feet in diameter. >> it has such power. i really love it. people have never seen anything like this before. it's a skill only possessed by him. a skill created by him. the fact that they appear to be alive inside the wooden pail speaks to his skills, technique, and his thoughts. >> translator: i realized if i didn't include an air ventilation that they would die so, i decided to also include some air in the piece and through trial and error painted bubbles. >> also caught on camera, he wows his gallery audience by

creating a massive painting on traditional paper using a very unconventional brush. >> when i'm painting a large gold fish i can see a large gold fish swimming, and it's as if i've caught it with my broom wherebyi like it's right here. it's fishing within the surface of the paper. when i've caught a glimpse of it and caught it, that's when i put my brush down. >> his passion for goldfish and their beauty withstands the test of time. despite the eye-bending realism of his creations, he modestly believes he has not yet achieved perfection. >> i realize the gold fish is something incredibly important. it carries many messages. how would i call it?

identity. i want to keep doing this in this style until a beautiful gold fish emerges. when anger builds. people are pushed past their limits, watch out. >> did they just deck the bride? >> wedding parties collide. >> everybody is punching each other. >> the slap heard across the field. >> it is pandemonium. >> and it's the end of the line for an angry passenger. explosive outbursts. >> i want my mom. i want my mom. >> violent confrontations.
