Rescue 911-Episodes 103 and 207 "American River"

[guby0]

I still rember when I was a kid (now Im 24) my sister and I used to run home and switch the T.V on to see rescue 911. I miss this a lot....I want it back on air. Ihave learned a lot as a kid by see this program, I miss it comes back on air.

o.m.g. when i saw that boulder come down my heart stopped (btw i didn't know that gold panning was still done in that year. i wasnt born till '88. is it still being practised today? juz curious?)

[ProudMommyAllin]

I LOVE RESCUE 911 I ALWAYS HAVE!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE TAKEN IT OFF TV!!

[BigThunderFan]

this is the video i've always wanted to see but i never could find it so thanks for posting this video

[zzzzdreamzzz]

those guys were awsome :o) so many people don't want to stop and help.

[DiverDanTheMan]

I remember when this video aired! It stuck in my head ever since. I often thought about what it would be like to be stuck so close to the surface. I had forgotten about the SCUBA regulator that was there--that SHOULD have been the perfect solution until they got the rock off him--but if it was on his lungs, the reg wouldn't have provided the pos. pressure nec. to fill his lungs, no matter how hard he inhaled. That is where the CPR (rescue breaths) did the trick. Awesome work.

This story was featured on a Reader's Digest mag :)

[GrumpyGal82]

i was born in 1982 as well.

[trage2]

i was born in 1982 also

[ZMommaL56]

Oh my goodness! 1982 was the year I was born. I was just a tiny little baby.

[Yayakills]

i think its crazy how they reenact all these segments i mean it look soooo realistic

[gregorkrause]

yeah it's crazy to me too how they reenact the segments.

[vickiormindyb]

A boulder doesn't have to be going fast, if it's moving downward, and is big enough to hold a man underwater.

One and a half tons is 3,000 lbs: each man would have had to lift 500 lbs. of stone.

My boss is a Senior Medic. He's been a paramedic for 21 years.

If it weren't for him, I would have given up my job after answering all these crime-related calls we've had in the last month.

People are way out of control with drugs and domestic violence. IDK what's up with that.

[Yayakills]

people are just desperately wicked

[gregorkrause]

Episodes #105, #103-207 and #107 1st segment deserves autoplay called "Early Dated Segments.

[happy7117]

The word for "Grace" in Polish is "Jia, Jia". I just learned something!

[Bandos624]

plus it was only going like 5mph

[Bandos624]

the sound of the boulder falling down from 0:50 - 1:00 sounds really cheesy

[OneSkiWonder]

Shut up and make your own re-enactment and make it better if you want.

[travelplus1]

Is this area off Salmon Falls Rd by Folsom or up towards Coloma>

[Muggle423]

Wow...1 and a half ton boulder? Holy crap. No wonder they couldn't lift it.

I know it's a reenactment and for obvious reasons couldn't use an actual boulder, but that boulder didn't look no 3000 pounds at all.

[gregorkrause]

I bet the boulder for the reenactment was foam and shaped to make it realistic.

[gregorkrause]

I had kidney stones as a young kid and I thought the lithotripter was like a dredger and your whole body like this victim was under water to catch the kidney stones LOL.

[gregorkrause]

Have you heard of a medical device called a lithotripter?, a dredger kinda is like that because it breaks stones to catch gold.

[JPMcFly1985]

BTW I lived in the Sacramento area from 1990 to 96, and have been along the American River. These scenes look pretty familar.

I'm sure those boulders are alot heavier than they look. Lifting it wouldn't have been possible at 3000 pounds - maybe they could've tried to roll it off, but I think keeping Dave alive via CPR was the best thing.

[gregorkrause]

here's what made this segment memorable a "polish prayer" Jia Jia (sp)

[gregorkrause]

shatner states that took place in 1982 that's cool and an early dated segment, and here's what could go with this segment, "French skydiver" 1976.

[JPMcFly1985]

Yeah, I like the ones where they go a bit back (i.e. any more than maybe 5 years ago at the time). Shows in the 90s did that alot.

Another one like that was the Cody Wyoming bar shooting. I think that was 1983.

[gregorkrause]

yes the cody wyoming bar shooting was in 83, note JAWS III 3-D was filmed the same year.

[gregorkrause]

the "American River" worthy of a painting lol.

[madmaxx1221]

How could they not move the boulder like seriously i could easily move it

[DorvellTStewart]

You could move a 3000 pound boulder? Let me know how that goes won't you LOL!

[madmaxx1221]

just push it off him there was like 6 dudes and they couldnt get it off him and plus the boulders under water it should be a little easier. its like picking up a heavy person in the pool its alot easier

[travelplus1]

Could ring alive American River. Could Ring alive

[happy7117]

For some reason I love it when he says "you pump him up and I'll do the heart massage".

[gregorkrause]

sounds like a setup to a parody of "the wizard of oz"

[gregorkrause]

here's a suggestion, you forgot to put the 2 ep #'s for smoke-filled house #108 and #208.

[DorvellTStewart]

Dave already uploaded that segment.

[gregorkrause]

yeah, i know 108's smoke-filled house was repeated on 208.

[happy7117]

The big question is, How did that boulder just come loose??

[DorvellTStewart]

Great one! I've been wanting to see this one for a while now!

[PredatorBrendan]

That's a very unbelieveable segment. Whoa, remind to keep on falling boulders.

[happy7117]

"remind to keep on falling boulders"

Was that a mistake you made in typing Brendan??

Did you maybe mean to say, "remind me to keep away from falling boulders"

[PredatorBrendan]

Yes, that's what I meant to say.
