that nancy writebol is eating and speaking. this morning, just hours after nancy writebol was wheeled into atlanta's emory university hospital isolation unit by a medical team wearing white hazmat suits, the pielth who througher in 5,000 miles from liberia is speaking out exclusively to abc news for the first time. >> if i had this to do over again i would again be one of the first to volunteer. >> on the flight she was kept in a portable and disposable bed. >> it provides maximum comfort for the patient permitting the rest of the crew to perform their duties in safety and comfort, as well. >> reporter: abc news obtained this exclusive video shot from inside the cockpit of the plane that brought one of the two sick americans home. it's not clear which flight but in the short clip you can see the containment pod, medical equipment and a health care worker in a protective suit looking after a patient. this morning, her sons are at her side, her husband on his way from liberia. her doctors hopeful she will beat ebola.

>> when nancy was put on the airplane at 1:00 a.m. monrovia time they took her to the plane on a stretcher, however, she did stand up and with assistance got on the airplane which was great news. >> reporter: some doctors say there's a chance she's alive today because of an experimental drug. her colleague dr. kent brantly also received the drug. the biotech firm behind it says they used tobacco plants to produce a cocktail of proteins they believe fights the disease. despite the risks at least 50 american experts are planning travel to west africa to help sick patients in the coming weeks. >> if you have the training and you can help, how can you not? >> reporter: the missionaries here say there is one positive note to all the attention focused on the two patients hospitalized here. they say more americans and more people around the world know more about ebola and the outbreak in africa before they did now than before.

the train is stopped but the guy's leg is still stuck. that gap just two inches wide. >> the train just didn't -- and then someone yelled out saying a guy's leg was caught in the door. >> reporter: they tell people inside the train to jump to the other side of the car hoping to sway it away from the platform but it doesn't work. soon they realize there's only one solution, pure elbow grease. they line up alongside the train and push it with all their might man and woman young and old more than 50 people giving it their all and there it is, rescue accomplished. [ applause ] >> well done. thank you. >> i got out. >> okay, so it was a good result, everyone put in together and got him out. >> reporter: the rescued man walk as way, in fact, he catches the next train. perhaps showing up late to work but with a pretty good story to tell. as michael reminded me 24rs's a reason they put those signs up that say "watch the gap." the initial train was only

did we do okay? >> it is -- i'd say it's a movie for sure. there's absolutely some liberty takens but you will not be at all disappointed. there's a lot of excitement but you're scared of weather in general. it taught you a lot. >> i grew up in honolulu and you've been talking about today. we've gotten hit by a few hurricanes and gave me a healthy respect for the fact that we are not in charge of the planet. we live here at mother nature's disdecision. >> this movie so much about the weather part but also it has heart and has a story. tell us about that. >> i don't think any special effects movie doesn't matter too much without the people to whom the special effects are especially affecting. i may a mom separated by her daughter in the storm. richard armitage is separated from his son and two parents are desperately trying to get mac to their kids and find safety. >> it mirrors a lot but people seeing this are going to be blown away.
