999 - BBC

An edited clip from an old program from the BBC called 999. Contains real-life accidents. And in this one, I'm the victim. Whilst in Scotland, I nearly died from Acute Immersion Hypothermia. Well I did die. But I was brought back by a nurse who happened to be there at a time. A few more minutes and I would have been gone. Makes you think a bit!

Video and Audio Copyright British Broadcasting Corporation 1996. Incident occured in 1994 (this is a reconstruction).

*** GOOD NEWS ***
We just got a new recorder at home, so will be able to upload the full high-quality version of this very soon!!

@abhiginimav Sorry, YouTube are being really funny about copyright. If I manage to get a previous 'infringement' cleared I'll stick the new one up.

Wow you was the 4 year old kid who nearly died?! That is terrifying! Glad you survived. I always watched this programme as a kid, I loved it, I wish they would bring it back =(

[seanusmcprawnus]

Thank you for uploading this. I'm glad you recovered from your ordeal. Its freaky cos i remember this!

I watched to watch this programme religiously in the 90s mum and dad started to let us watch it when they released it was good education. I remember there was a girl trap between two walls in one of the shows that was scary and the one where the house blew up that gave me nightmares! Oh there was always a fireworks special around Nov 5! LOL.

Bring back the 90s best decade!! LOL.

I'd love to know what happen to the BBC, they never put shows like this anymore and they have never have nature docs on either and brilliant.

Any chance of the HQ version, you said a few days - it's been 4 years! The whole episode if possible, 999 is as rare as hens' teeth now and we need as much up as possible. Thanks (and glad you are still here to tell the tale!)

[oldskooldancemusic1]

All i remember of this show is screaming 9 9 9 everytime it came on a kid getting its finger stuck in a plug hole and a guy dying from smelling glue from a womans toilet sign. that is all, thank you and good night
