"caught on camera, brace yourself." a small plane struggles to stay aloft and a pilot tries to land while the lives of everyone onboard including a 7-month-old baby hang in the balance. february 2, 2013, logan, utah. foot 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 jonathan. he suggests they also bring their 7-month-old son jacob.

>> i almost begged, 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'd had in weeks. it was really exciting. but about half an 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. >> i didn't believe him because i know he's a little bit of of a jokester and it was my first time. >> but this is no joke. >> the engine had severely lost pow power. he had everything he was

supposed to and he pulled the carburetor even more than he was supposed to. >> it's too late. at 8500 feet the engine stops running. >> he told us we're going to have to make a landing here and 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 being underneath you and things were really wrong, and i started praying because that's what i know to do. >> jonathan has a different response. >> i started videoing shortly after he let us know that there was a problem. i just had the thought -- you know, i think i might want a recording of what i was thinking and 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 only had 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 there was a place where we would bring the plane down and there wouldn't be people. >> everyone onboard braces for a landing. a prayer in our heart, and i think we'll be just fine. >> jonathan 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 was in the back and not in his seat belt. >> well, right now we're looking for a place to land. >> we're looking for a straight away. >> all right. we're going to land in this

field right here. >> is everyone okay? >> i'm 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 jonathan's hand and lands in the front of the plane, still recording. >> when we came to a rest my very first thought was i have to get this buckle off to get my baby. >> cara's head slams into the ceiling during the crash and now she dangles by her seat belt with her feet in the air, but her mothering instinct shuts out any pain or trauma, 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. >> in fact, no one is seriously injured. >> i just survived a crash landing. >> we were all find and we just got a little bit of whiplash. >> afterwards, i grabbed the phone and just do you meaned what was going on. >> are you okay? >> yeah. >> will you ever fly again? >> yeah. >> the crash has really affected my life. i feel like i've had a second chance to live. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> i definitely spend more time with jacob because i could have lost him. >> its really given us a second chance, really at appreciating what's most important and to us it's family. >> in the end, the only casualty

of the crash is the airplane. >> the plane is completely totaled. it was beyond repair. >> the pilot's insurance lapsed at midnight the night before. >> all right. we're going to land. >> jonathan and karen have posted the video of the crash online hoping it will generate income for revenue and licensing. they plan to use it to reimburse the pilot. >> and he helped us with 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 12, 2012, ida, michigan. ann is along for a ride in his

grandfather's small plane, a kickfox 7. >> i'm excited. i'm always excited to go up in the air and see the town and everything. it's a really cool experience. >> at 84 years old wilbert maddis has been plying planes for more than 60 years. >> i feel that i'm capable of flying. i have friends that are older than i am that are 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 on his iphone as they cruise over lake erie and neighboring towns. it was getting late and 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 never have 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 thought i was going to die, and i was just, like, here we go. this is it. >> we weren't trying to do anything, but ride it out. >> the wing hits the ground first and 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 ]! holy [ bleep ]! are you okay? >> my first thought was, wow, this really just happened. how am i not dead and then i looked at myself and i was, like, okay, everything's working. my body is intact.

>> 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 them 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 just mad because he crashed him. >> i felt very sad and instantly very exasperated, and sad. how could i have done this? i'm done flying and i'll never fly again. >> the plane was a wreck.

>> but ian's biggest concern is his grandfather's health. >> it is right in the middle. >> he could be hurt from internal bleeding or injuries. >> i was very scared and 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. though doctors examine him thoroughly, 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 that, you know, you only have one life to live so try and 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 all. i love to fly, and 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" continues. but a few might shape the future. like turning algae into biofuel... ...new technology for capturing co2 emissions... ...and cars twice as efficient as the average car today. ideas exxonmobil scientists are working on to make energy go further... ...no matter how many tries it takes.

>> frankly, i was surprised 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. he was then placed in an ambulance that was ready to transport him to the hospital.

message from governor greg abbott. the state is right now preparing for conditions in the next 24 hours as a rare blizzard touches down. this is in addition to the string of deadly tornados that battered texas over the past few days and killing at least 11 people. the governor is urging people to stay off the roads in hard-hit areas and 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

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, waiting until he's 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 die. 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 his last moments alive. >> 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 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. 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. gary connery is preparing to jump out of a helicopter at 2400 feet without using a parachute. a film and tv stuntman and avid b.a.s.e. jumper, connery 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 being asked to do things that 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, it's just that my testing maybe 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.
