When a boulder pins a man just inches below a river's surface, a method of underwater CPR is used to keep him alive. This segment of episode 103 aired on September 19, 1989 on CBS and again as part of episode 207 on November 6, 1990 on CBS.

  • 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.

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

  • 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?)

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

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

  • 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 :)

  • i was born in 1982 also

  • i was born in 1982 as well.

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