Rescue 911 - Episode 223 - "Cobra Chaos" (Part 2 of 2)

[mrsnowman102]

he has a very hairy chest

[jpgbrookes]

Pretty ironic that he is bitten by a cobra and is taken to the hospital in a mustang.

[Fight0Tyranny]

Aww what a sweet guy, gone from a snake bite, to educating children on the beauty and dangers of animals. So glad he was ok

[EpicFailGirl]

Awwww.

[TheBAAADKitty]

I want a corn snake, then if it bites me it'll just be like "Ow!! Damn it!!" and not "OW!! Da-(colapses)" Unfortunatley, my mom is very afraid of snakes. I'm even lucky I got a Leopard Gecko!

[CarChases88]

0:35 Go For it. Get that guy to the hospital

[shawnkelly90]

nice shorts dude

[Dannybroadsword1]

ok, first, he shouldnt have been holding the snake like that while changing water anyway. put it in another cage or hold it behind the head. noone gets hurt

[rambojuliuscaesar]

most cars cut out before then.

[rambojuliuscaesar]

holy crap @ 110 miles an hour! That's freaking 177k in Canada! FAST!

[legosrcool555]

lol i have three cobras and they r the coolest snakes in the world and im holding one right now lol but cobras r very deadly but my cobras have the venom taken out of them and the fangs :D

[SassySweet24]

I love snakes and they are very beautiful animals but I could never have a venomous one. For one I have kids and for two I could not stand the thought of ever getting bite by one.

[hollyzone]

i'm glad he made it. i wonder what he did with the cobra.

[NDW85]

My guess is Grant probably gave his cobra to a zoo.

[SamwiseOT]

Anyone bitten by an elapid like a cobra should get a compression bandage wrapped above the bite to minimize the spread of venom. Don't do that with a viper, such as any rattlesnake, moccasin, or copperhead, as they cause more tissue damage.

If you keep a venomous reptile, keep a protocol book with info on what to do if someone is bitten, include phone #s of Doctors who are experts in treating venomous bites, info on what anitivenoms work for each species owned, & where that AV can be obtained.

[timberland1108]

@SamwiseOT so viper, rattlesnake moccasin or copper head dont wrap a bandage around

[ILovestorms]

@SamwiseOT An Australian Taipan is also an elapid. So is an African black mamba. Also, a coral snake in the United States, in addition to the cobras.

[DorvellTStewart]

Do you know if this segment originally had an update from Shatner at the start of the second part? If it did, I'm guessing it was one of the small parts cut out of it for syndication.

[allgood2000]

It probably did, if it originally had a "When We Continue" break. I never saw the original airing, so I don't know.

[DorvellTStewart]

That's another thing I've been curious about. What was it with some syndicated segments having "When We Continue" breaks, but not having them in their original broadcasts? I'm guessing it was just to fill the time or something.

[allgood2000]

Half-hour TV shows generally need three commercial breaks, so there would only be two breaks (between the two segments, and before the end credits) if they didn't put a WWC into one of the segments. I always thought they should have just put a commercial between the introduction and the first segment if it didn't have a WWC.

Also, I just found out that the original airing of this segment did not have a WWC break. "Cave Save" was the only one of the five segments in this episode to have a WWC.

[DorvellTStewart]

That would've made sense to put a commercial break in at the start of the syndicated version of the show actually. and now that you mension the end credits, did the syndicated version ever have any closing words from Shatner? I can remember it including that back in the 90's, and they may've done it on the Hallmark Channel when they reran it, but on DHC, I can only remember 3 different occasions where closing words from Shatner were included. Also, the credits were cut short when it was on DHC.

[allgood2000]

The closing words from Shatner were included on every fifth episode in syndication. In other words, syndicated episodes with numbers ending in 0 or 5, like 205S or 210S.

Those episodes also had longer credit sequences, because most syndicated episodes would only include the writers, directors, and re-enactment performers to shorten the credits. Every fifth episode would have the full credits for the past five episodes, so the credits would be about a minute. DHC never showed those.

[DorvellTStewart]

I bet DHC didn't show them because they wouldn't have fit into the 30 minute time slott. Or at least, what a 30 minute time slott is these days.

[DorvellTStewart]

It just occurred to me why they may've included the closing words from Shatner at the end of every 5 syndicated episodes. I believe he always ended it with, "Join us again next week for more true stories, on Rescue 911." It'd make sense for closing statements from Shatner to be included at the end of every 5 syndicated episodes, seing as how those episodes were most likely aired on Fridays.

[Princeroadj]

This dude back in 1997 had a cobra from Egypt. He brought to his residence in Stoughton,MA It got loose and everyone in Stoughton, Canton and Sharon were scared shitless. It made Healdlines all over the state. Everyone was afraid to walk in the woods the sand the grass cause we didn't know where the Cobra could be. The cobra was found about 3 weeks later in a Stoughton elementary school library underneath some books on the floor! it got in thru a vent! The guy was charged for endangerment

[UmaakuKyarorin]

For having a friend who is close to death that guy does not seem to be in a hurry even if his help is valuable.

[GarfieldVsSnoopy]

Macho Man Randy Savage got bitten by a King Cobra.

[abagayle11]

Who in their right mind buys a snamke that;s poisionous? I mean,it's ok if you kow how to handle them,but this dude obviously didn't know snakes are unpredictable.....or he did.

[IR0NMAIDEN12]

ok out of all the vnomous snakes he could get why would he get a cobra? he should have got a gaboon viper or a rattlesnake

[masterfun40]

a gaboon viper bites not much better

[animeflowergurl]

agreed. there is a vast majority of venomous snakes that have lethal venom

[chiefwaterboy2]

the cops take off was awsome =p

[Regius101]

what the? 3 hours 4 a cobra? he should be dead after 30 mins-1hour or so

[CTrax]

Not really. Depending on the health of the victim, the placing of the bite and the amount of venom in the bite, it could take a long time.

The way this show depicts, the snake bit him, rather that "struck", which would have caused more venom to be injected.

[barbielovesmakeup]

Regius101: I totally agree with you, it's dosen't seems real in some way because 3 hours for a cobra = death, you have atleast 30 minutes to get to a hostpital and get medicine. So, I deff. think this episode was "fake" or something, it is not POSIBLY a person can live in 3 hours for a cobra bite :S

[chaostheoryfilms]

I depends on bite area from what I understand.

[PTPLauthor]

Tell ya what, there's miracles that happen all the time.

Plus, the bite was in an extremity, had it been a torso bite--yeah, the guy woulda died quick, but it was a small bite, and the snake probably didn't inject much...it's the cobra version of Gold...not much to go around, and they ration it, sure big snakes like that can kill 50 men with one bite-but ONLY if they pump out their glands...and snakes don't do that usually.

If that don't convince you, PM me, I got another true story for ya.

[halffade]

OMG I saw this episode years ago on TV

I was a child then, in fact I was scared

[travelplus1]

gas to honk

[Hufflepuffmusic888]

He probably should have kept th anti venom for the kind of snakes he had. oh and thanks so much for uploading these. I am having a great time watching all the episodes. there are so many of them. I signed the petition too.

[EvilSpoofAuthor]

this i afree with. Sure he was careless and all but his first mistake was not getting antivenin when he got the snake. However docile it seems he should have at least taken the precaution. ALTHOUGH I still say when you change ANY animals cage you put them into a box for their safety or in this case, your own safety.

[anotherfunnyname]

why dident he get a copper head ensted

[allgood2000]

That's the same one ulij20 was talking about.  I don't have it uploaded.

[gregorkrause]

the victim faced danger and had triumph and survived.

[digimon454]

whos the guy in the blue shirt?

[xMissCreant]

Gotta love the snake expert and his cut-off JORTS :)

[FischerFan]

I couldn't believe the victim in this case did not have a supply of anti-venin around for the species he kept.

Godsakes, that should be mandatory!

If you dare to keep such exotic, highly venomous snakes of that nature and that magnitude; you had better be prepared because if you take a hit, there usually won't be enough time for scrambling around calling zoos, or even foreign governments, for a specific anti-venin.

[critterfreek82]

Couldn't agree more dude. Careless retard.

[Fai3anSS4]

man that fukin guys got a hairy fukin CHEST hahah gorilla

[danielkang1234]

true but rude.

[ulij20]

I'm looking for the episode where that Australian guy was bitten by a snake while hiking in the woods. Is that one available?

[allgood2000]

Not as of right now.

[Respectvoltago]

man, everyone knows to calm down when being bitten by a venemous snake, but the problem is, if u get bitten, i dont think its so easy to control your heartbeat, i woulda get nervous as hell

[TTBurger88]

Grant's really lucky that he survived. Now he knows not to have venomous snakes as pets

[Jibjub80]

Mountain lions are also non poisonous.

[Jibjub80]

This guy is a dumbass. He "still collects snakes, but none that are poisonous." I guess being constricted to death is more fun than a cobra bite. Why not have a nice pet, like a cat, dog, bird, or a tank of pretty fish? Why do people need to have dangerous animals? How about a pet mountain lion for that matter?

[danielkang1234]

SHUT UP

[cheatmaster407]

no he's stupid for not watching the snake not owning a  venemous pet

[cheatmaster407]

yes if u relax and clam down it slows down the posion

[TigerTuber]

the only kind of pets I enjoy are covered with fur and will not kill me if they bite

[s10trav]

Lesson number 1. DO NOT OWN A COBRA!!!

[allgood2000]

If anyone has this episode on tape from CBS, please message me.

[tankgirl211]

freaking idiot!

[toolfan4622]

Dr. Brannam is actually my uncle. I believe that he did everything correctly. Being a doctor, you can't just trust anyone who walks in with something and says that it will work, even if the person knows them. I also want to thank the person who posted this video, because we lost the original VHS that it was recorded on while moving.

[Huddleupgurlz07]

Why would someone have a cobra for a snake??

[bulletsponge62485]

To true lovers of herp keeper and collector the venomous snakes are as wonderful to keep as their non-venomous brethren.

[jillhbaudhaan]

so there is different antivenom for each snake??

[chrrycke04]

u didnt know that? It like having different meds for different illnesses

[wimpog97]

I think that was not very smart to tell the man who brought the antivenin to go home and bring the book. This was an emergency situation and he should had been escorted by the police in order to get that book ASAP. The guy could have died while he went for the book and the doctors just waited.

[itsalleternal]

Why did they hesitate to give him the antivenom when he was sure to die without it? A 50% chance of survival is a lot better than 0%...

[ILovestorms]

I am flabbergasted that Grant survived!! He could have been killed!! And that is a MAJOR understatement.

[CrotalusCatalinensis]

For every snake handler / keeper, on the place that you have the venomous snake, there you have to keep the anti-venom (in right conditions of course), for me, an professional with snakes, its unbelievable, that you poses a venomous snake, outside of their habitat / continent, where every hospital, poses the anti-venom, but in your place, this animal is an exotic species, and the hospital don't have the anti-venom in stock!

[ILovestorms]

Are cobras and mambas that live in Asia and Africa more dangerous than the pit vipers (rattlesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths) that live in the United States? I know coral snakes are in the cobra family and live in America.

[Dreammystic]

How dangerous snake venom is depends on what is does. Most cobra venom goes after the neurological system while most rattlesnake venom goes after tissues. They both are deadly and dangerous, just in different ways.

[1nm1]

Short answer is Yes.

Most people that get bit by a US snake will survive, many times even without antivenom.

Most people will also survive getting bit by an Asian snake, but in antivenom is required in most cases.

[FischerFan]

"Are cobras and mambas that live in Asia and Africa more dangerous than the pit vipers?"

As a general rule, they are more dangerous than most New World pit vipers. Cobras, mambas, and kraits are all elapids. In fact, the deadliest snakes in the world are found in Australia; where Taipans, Tiger Snakes, Brown Snakes, and Death Adders rule supreme.

All are Elapids with highly potent neurotoxic venoms.

[NDW85]

There is one segment that takes places in Australia where an elderly gentleman is bitten by a snake. Do you have that one? If so, could you put that one up?

[NDW85]

It's too bad they didn't air this on the Family channel. If they did, they could have fixed this episode into a 60 minute show by elimnating 2 of the segments.

[jagannathramanan]

SNAKE IS NO FUCKING PET PEOPLE!! Let it be where it belongs....Jesus Christ, iam tried of people on earth...

[Dreammystic]

Without people keeping snakes they can't milk the anti-venom for the hospitals (hunting/fishing permits limits how many snakes you can catch or harass in the wild) and thus no help for the hiker/accidental snakebite. You'll thank those people if you ever get bitten by a wild snake on a camping trip.

[Outkasted1980]

Obviously he wasnt one of those people now was he. Or else he would've had the proper anti-venin ready and availible. He was keeping the pet a SNAKE. Let me say this again, Snakes aren't pets. Had that been a few other snakes he probaby wouldn't have madeit.

[Unslovedaudio]

go to tvshowsondvd,com and vote on rescue 911 to come out on dvd,rescue 911 has 435 votes

[allgood2000]

If anyone has the rest of this episode on tape, please message me. I have some of the segments from syndication, but not all of them. I would be willing to trade some episoes for the original 90-minute version of this episode.

[kurfew1100]

jesus ur  smart grant! NOT

[Lifesucksdie123]

grant was subsequently grounded by his parents FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE...

[chrisz71]

yeah, I think that I've always wanted a pet that could KILL ME!

[ZerosumInertia]

Atleast He put it back in the cage!

Thats amazing!

Calm enough to still act rational.

[IcePrincess73]

That is one really hairy chest

[srubi74]

yeah, i noticed that too. i was suprised those electrodes were able to read his vital signs through all of that fur. made me think of the chest waxing scene in 40 year old virgin.

[razgrizaceblaze259]

Damn. I've never seen a police car take off that quickly before. Also, I might add that the officer did a pretty decent burnout as he left for the hospital.

[gregorkrause]

yes i believe so

[gregorkrause]

hey is that the long snake that made an appearance on a rescue 911 episode where it was found under the house?

[goreds03]

was the snakes name big mama i think i remember it

[gregorkrause]

question: Why would they decide to make a 90 min episode?

[allgood2000]

Because CBS's Tuesday schedule in the early 90's was like this:

8:00-9:00 - Rescue 911

9:00-11:00 - CBS Tuesday Night Movie

Sometimes when the movies weren't two hours, they adjusted the lengths of Rescue 911 episodes to compensate for that. That happened a few times with movies that were two-and-a-half hours, which is why a few Rescue 911 episodes were only 30-minutes. The movie after this episode must have been a 90-minute movie.

[DorvellTStewart]

Actually, acording to the episode guide, there were quite a few 30 minute episodes that were created by Cbs on nights when movies 2.5 hours in length were shown.

[niuchemist]

The nurse said that the venom wasn't kept because it was used so rarily. That's a non-letigious way to say most people are smart enough to leave that snake in asia.

Good video, though. I loved this show going up.
