[00:00:00] under the control of experts, steep rapids,
[00:00:03] but everything was quite calm, without much
[00:00:06] extreme, the rafting seemed a bit boring, I even ironized about it,
[00:00:10] it's a kindergarten and not
[00:00:12] rafting,
[00:00:15] the most terrible things always happen unexpectedly, we were calmly approaching the
[00:00:18] rapid, I joked, continuing to comment on this vacation,
[00:00:22] a kindergarten, considering that I was wearing a life vest, there were no large
[00:00:25] rapids nearby, I was absolutely
[00:00:28] calm,
[00:00:30] We approached this place with optimism and
[00:00:32] excitement, oh, oh, oh, this is
[00:00:36] the fatal rapid, the boat capsized, the lack of experience made itself
[00:00:40] known,
[00:00:49] Sasha and I fell out of
[00:00:50] the raft.
[00:01:03] It was a typical, very common situation for rafting,
[00:01:05] which suddenly became
[00:01:08] critical, what I wasn't warned about
[00:01:12] happened.
[00:01:19] The instructor surfaced almost
[00:01:20] immediately.
[00:01:27] She and Sasha were not visible on the surface. Everyone in the boat
[00:01:30] was scared, the situation
[00:01:31] was extraordinary,
[00:01:36] exactly at the fourteenth second, Sasha surfaces, he is confused and scared,
[00:01:50] they help him get back into
[00:01:52] the raft.
[00:02:04] Then the boat picks up one of
[00:02:05] the guides.
[00:02:10] The instructors exchange impressions, laugh and don't
[00:02:13] pay attention to the fact that I am still
[00:02:16] gone.
[00:02:20] More than 20 seconds passed, and I still didn't surface. In the support
[00:02:23] boat, the tension was at its maximum. The national park
[00:02:26] staff, our guide, start thinking about the worst
[00:02:30] that could have happened to me, but there's nothing
[00:02:33] they can do, they can only wait for the body to
[00:02:37] surface. Now imagine what happens to these
[00:02:40] water currents at the rapid, in the place where there is a step,
[00:02:44] it's a small waterfall, the whole mass of water rapidly accelerates
[00:02:48] and rushes down, its force increases, it presses with
[00:02:51] its enormous weight on the bottom surface, if a body in a
[00:02:55] life jacket ends up directly under such a current, it can be pressed to
[00:02:59] the bottom, and then... the life jacket won't help, its buoyancy
[00:03:02] is much less than the force of the water current, plus the life jacket tries
[00:03:06] to float only vertically upwards, and to escape a deadly
[00:03:09] trap you need to swim sideways, but paddling is also
[00:03:12] dangerous, having lost orientation in the water, you can paddle in
[00:03:16] the wrong direction and only worsen the situation, it's better for beginners
[00:03:19] to just wait, a person is often saved by the fact that the currents of a mountain
[00:03:23] river are unstable, water vortices change direction, sooner or
[00:03:27] later inevitably pushing the body from the point of no return. Another
[00:03:30] very common reason why a body in a life jacket doesn't surface is
[00:03:34] a "barrel", that's what they call a place where the water, after hitting
[00:03:38] the bottom, swirls in a vortex, the direction of the water
[00:03:41] current in such a place always goes in the opposite direction of the river's
[00:03:44] current, as a result a whirlpool forms, in which a person
[00:03:48] spins like in a washing machine, how long it will spin depends on
[00:03:52] many factors, the depth of the relief and the amount of water.
[00:03:55] Professionals who have dedicated their entire lives to rafting,
[00:03:58] know how to behave in such situations, so that the chances
[00:04:02] of drowning become minimal, and even then there are no guarantees, here
[00:04:06] the river decides whether to let a person go or
[00:04:08] not, it seemed endlessly
[00:04:12] long, but the last seconds were especially terrifying, I
[00:04:16] understood that these moments could be the last in my
[00:04:19] life, then in the distance I saw light and rushed to paddle
[00:04:23] towards it, it wasn't a mirage, a few seconds later I was on
[00:04:26] the surface.
[00:04:35] I took the biggest possible breath
[00:04:39] and went back under
[00:04:41] the water for a short time,
[00:04:46] when I surfaced for the second time, I just raised my hands and couldn't even
[00:04:49] scream.
[00:04:55] Glassy eyes, an absent gaze, I was in shock.
[00:04:58] Take the rope.
[00:05:02] Just now I felt like I was born a second time, from the support boat they threw me
[00:05:06] a rope,
[00:05:09] I grabbed it, but I had no strength to pull, the guys
[00:05:17] pulled me into the boat, Dima, are you conscious?
[00:05:29] Everything's
[00:05:29] fine.
[00:05:37] They didn't pull me out for a very long time. How many
[00:05:40] seconds? At first, you weren't visible. How long weren't
[00:05:43] you visible? I felt it for a long time, I already started thinking
[00:05:46] the worst. If we don't count record holders,
[00:05:50] the duration of breath holding in normal conditions for an ordinary person
[00:05:53] is on average 40-60 seconds. Camera recordings
[00:05:56] showed that I was in a natural centrifuge underwater for 25
[00:06:00] seconds. In calm conditions, for example, during training in
[00:06:03] a swimming pool, this is not long and does not present any
[00:06:06] problems. But in an extreme situation, when the elements
[00:06:10] spin you with incredible force, and you can't
[00:06:13] influence it, 25 seconds turn into
[00:06:16] an eternity, the problem is that
[00:06:19] I already felt that it was very
[00:06:22] long, and I already started to think bad thoughts, I already started
[00:06:26] to think, damn, if I don't surface now, that's
[00:06:30] it, you know, I'm relying on the life jacket, I'm hoping it will
[00:06:34] surface, but it's not surfacing, it's not surfacing, I
[00:06:37] tried to hold my breath as much as possible, I understood that I couldn't
[00:06:41] save myself. I just waited until I surfaced, and then,
[00:06:44] probably really 20 seconds, I saw that it was getting lighter
[00:06:48] and moving upwards, whew, that was
[00:06:50] scary, where is Sasha? Over there
[00:06:54] on the boat, he also wasn't visible for some time, but he surfaced
[00:06:57] faster, you
[00:06:59] more, this is no longer a child's
[00:07:02] level,
[00:07:05] adrenaline, climb
[00:07:09] over here, I thought I was...
[00:07:13] Do you want another go? Do you want another one? Another
[00:07:16] one?
[00:07:21] I thought I was done for. Why was it like this? Why didn't I surface for so long? It's because
[00:07:24] you were caught in a whirlpool.
[00:07:38] At some point I thought, if it continues like this for
[00:07:41] some time longer, everything will end. Oh my god, how horrible. I
[00:07:45] tried to conserve air as much as possible and just
[00:07:48] relax. Then I saw the light, I started swimming towards
[00:07:52] the light and surfaced, took a breath, that was probably the
[00:07:56] best moment of the whole expedition, friends, life
[00:07:57] is good,
[00:08:01] you should have thrown yourself on your back and not tried to go
[00:08:04] up, throw yourself back, I didn't do anything at all,
[00:08:08] I was just carried away for 20 seconds under water, and could it be that you won't
[00:08:11] surface? Sometimes it happens that people can't
[00:08:15] surface for 30-40 seconds, and what was the maximum time your clients or you
[00:08:19] yourselves spent underwater? 3 minutes, 3 minutes he survived, yes he survived, but
[00:08:23] lost consciousness and he had to be resuscitated,
[00:08:26] a quick
[00:08:27] search on the internet shows
[00:08:31] that only last year in popular official rafting spots
[00:08:35] more than 20 people died, one in the Carpathians, four tourists
[00:08:38] in Georgia, another four in... in my hand I held a paddle, I thought, should I throw it away,
[00:09:12] or not throw it away, I thought, I'd better throw it away, because once I was kayaking
[00:09:16] and they said you can't throw away the paddle, but here I
[00:09:20] decided to throw it away, because I wanted to surface,
[00:09:23] just half a minute more and I
[00:09:32] would have suffocated, drowned,
[00:09:36] it was scary.
[00:09:38] I thought about death, that I would die,
[00:09:43] yes, I didn't want
[00:09:47] to, of
[00:09:47] course.
[00:09:54] I was very worried, I saw Sasha surface, but where was
[00:09:57] Dima? There was a helmet lying around, some paddles
[00:10:01] were lying around, but Dima wasn't there, and wasn't there, wasn't there. I
[00:10:04] asked the guys,
[00:10:07] the boatman, where, where is Dima, where is Dima? He said, I don't know,
[00:10:11] I don't see him. "You were already so
[00:10:15] pale, faceless, even a little
[00:10:18] greenish, I thought you had lost consciousness,
[00:10:21] thank God, everything ended well, thank God, yes we are glad." that you
[00:10:25] came back with
[00:10:26] us.
[00:10:30] How good it is to live, friends, it's very good to live,
[00:10:33] life is the greatest gift we have, and you understand this only when you almost
[00:10:36] died,
[00:10:38] in the first seconds I thought I would surface immediately, then I realized
[00:10:42] that I wasn't surfacing, but I still thought I would surface now, then when it was already
[00:10:46] long and breathing became, but there was frankly not enough air, I think, why am I not
[00:10:50] surfacing, then I managed to think, oh, these are rapids, maybe I will be
[00:10:53] carried by the waves and... I will never surface, then I started to understand,
[00:10:57] finally, that if I don't get pulled up now, I
[00:11:01] will die,
[00:11:03] if I don't get pulled up now, the air will run out, I need to conserve air, I understood that I couldn't influence the situation, I also thought,
[00:11:07] oh my God, will it really be like this, it's a nightmare everyone will only find out about this from
[00:11:11] the news, from newspapers, that somewhere in Brazil a film
[00:11:14] crew died,
[00:11:16] thank God that everything ended
[00:11:21] well, this is great.
[00:11:25] Happiness, breathing air and being on
[00:11:29] a boat, on land, but not underwater. Water is a terrible element, nature
[00:11:32] is such a force and power that cannot be defeated, man is
[00:11:36] just a grain of sand, and he cannot conquer
[00:11:40] nature, you don't need to use that expression, man can only get closer to
[00:11:44] nature as much as possible, but if he crosses the line, he dies, we were convinced
[00:11:48] of this today.
[00:11:57] You see, I was spun so much that even my sandals
[00:12:00] broke, and these were pretty good
[00:12:03] sandals, branded, strong, they tore
[00:12:06] the sandals, I was just flailing around, it was
[00:12:09] horrible,
[00:12:11] by
[00:12:13] if anyone still has questions about wearing a life jacket
[00:12:16] during water activities, you know, many people like to go without a life jacket,
[00:12:19] believe me, friends, wear
[00:12:22] it, without it I would be dead.
[00:12:28] After what happened, I consider it my duty to warn
[00:12:32] travelers who are considering tourist
[00:12:35] rafting. Rafting on mountain rivers is an incredibly interesting
[00:12:39] sport that brings a lot of positive emotions. We are not
[00:12:42] dissuading you from this entertainment, but my example
[00:12:45] showed that it is not a toy.
[00:12:48] Even in a relatively calm mountain river, a dangerous
[00:12:51] situation is possible, a life jacket is not a guarantee.
[00:12:57] that you will surface quickly, not all instructors warn about this, if you decide
[00:13:00] to try rafting, it is important to
[00:13:02] know this,
[00:13:08] even in tourist areas it is important to remember this and to treat
[00:13:11] nature with respect, because it is always stronger than man.
[00:13:15] I can't quite come to terms with it, you know that state, having experienced a near-death state, you
[00:13:29] are in a completely different state and you re-evaluate a lot, you realize, my God, what was I worried
[00:13:33] about before, everything we worry about, how
[00:13:37] unimportant it all is, how insignificant and petty it all is, the most
[00:13:40] important thing is our life, and you only understand that when
[00:13:44] this life can
[00:13:46] end and you feel it, how it starts to leave
[00:13:50] you, a unique life lesson
[00:13:53] that made me re-evaluate a lot.
[00:13:56] I won't come back
[00:14:03] here again, when I don't want to,
[00:14:06] this case once again proved
[00:14:11] that we are helpless before the power of nature, but even in the most critical
[00:14:15] situation, you need to fight for your life until the end. In
[00:14:18] an expedition to the Amazon, we learned an incredible story that
[00:14:22] happened to a Brazilian scientist of Japanese origin, Daisy
[00:14:25] Nishimura. A crocodile grabbed her, dragged her
[00:14:29] to the bottom, twisted her like that in the water until it bit off
[00:14:32] her leg. Was she conscious? Yes, and thanks to the fact
[00:14:35] that she lost her leg, she was able to swim away
[00:14:39] and escape. I couldn't leave this region without
[00:14:42] learning the details of this incredible rescue story. In such
[00:14:46] cases, people never survive. It's a real
[00:14:49] miracle. So even 10 years later, the locals
[00:14:53] still...
[00:15:38] That day she was alone at the station, Daisy was sitting with her
[00:15:42] feet in the water, like this, perhaps she simply
[00:15:45] forgot that doing that is very dangerous. Suddenly
[00:15:49] a Caiman swam up, grabbed her leg and dragged her straight into
[00:15:52] the river.
[00:15:55] During the low water season, Caimans are especially dangerous, these creatures
[00:15:58] can jump out of the water and attack, even if you are just
[00:16:02] floating in a boat. I talked to the locals,
[00:16:05] many say, we hate.
[00:17:07] The girl scheduled a meeting with us at the zoo near the crocodile
[00:17:11] enclosure. And here is Daisy.
[00:17:15] Daisy, good day. Hello. It's very
[00:17:18] nice to meet you. You are a heroic girl. Thank you. Of
[00:17:22] the entire Amazon expedition, and we spent more than two months there.
[00:17:25] Your story, I think, shocked
[00:17:28] and amazed me the most. Local residents said that
[00:17:32] you had become so accustomed
[00:17:35] and so relaxed
[00:17:38] that you stopped following safety measures and therefore you
[00:17:41] put your foot in the water, how was it really
[00:17:45] then? I lived for 9 months at a research base surrounded by
[00:17:49] water, there were many caimans, we even named one of them
[00:17:52] Dorothea, sometimes we fed them, but I never
[00:17:56] put my feet in the water,
[00:17:59] so you knew this caiman well, of course, we
[00:18:02] loved her very much, caimans lead a sedentary lifestyle and
[00:18:06] territory.
[00:19:37] I was deep underwater, I was already running out of oxygen, I
[00:19:41] desperately started feeling for its nose or eyes, but everything under my hands
[00:19:45] was hard as a stone, luckily I found
[00:19:49] two holes, probably it was its
[00:19:51] nose, so you were feeling its snout,
[00:19:54] yes, yes, when I felt something soft, I
[00:19:58] dug my fingers into that spot with all my might, squeezed it, yes,
[00:20:02] yes, and after that the caiman let go of me, I started trying
[00:20:06] to surface to...
[00:20:16] I understood that I needed to get to the base as quickly as possible, and I only had a few seconds to do it. In the
[00:20:20] waters of the Amazon, a bloodied Daisy could become prey not only
[00:20:23] to crocodiles. People living here still cannot believe
[00:20:27] that she is still alive. The biggest miracle
[00:20:30] is that she was not eaten by piranhas. That year there
[00:20:34] were many of them here, and she had a huge wound. A lot
[00:20:37] of blood, piranhas smell it immediately
[00:20:40] and swim over.
[00:20:42] I understood that piranhas would soon swim to the smell of blood and
[00:20:46] I was very scared. Daisy still managed to surface.
[00:21:02] No, I hadn't realized it yet, I was trying
[00:21:05] to climb onto the station, pulled myself up with my hands and wanted
[00:21:08] to throw my leg up, but I couldn't do it, then I
[00:21:12] realized that my leg was just gone, just pieces of
[00:21:15] flesh were hanging.
[00:21:19] So... your first thought when you lifted your leg and saw
[00:21:22] that it was gone? At that moment I
[00:21:26] was only thinking about how to get out of the water, urgently call someone for
[00:21:30] help, and the absence of my leg concerned me the least,
[00:21:33] somehow I still managed to pull myself up and get to the top,
[00:21:36] so it turns out you were in such a strong shock that you
[00:21:40] didn't even realize your leg was gone, when I got to the top, I certainly
[00:21:44] saw and realized that it was gone, but my survival instinct kicked
[00:21:48] in. When
[00:22:30] you were underwater, he was
[00:22:33] breaking your bones, was there really no hellish pain and
[00:22:37] it's very surprising that you didn't lose consciousness from battle
[00:22:39] shock. I didn't feel pain until I got
[00:22:43] to the hospital, apparently there was a strong release of
[00:22:45] adrenaline. By the way, when I was waiting for help,
[00:22:49] I remembered that I had a pressure cooker on, I was cooking myself
[00:22:53] beans, when the guys arrived, I asked them to turn
[00:22:56] it off,
[00:23:01] ugh, only when I was brought to the hospital did I feel just
[00:23:04] hellish pain, your leg, was it
[00:23:07] bitten off or twisted off, how did
[00:23:11] it separate from the body, the doctors already made a verdict
[00:23:13] later, imagine that you are butchering
[00:23:16] a chicken and to tear off a leg you twist it...
[00:24:50] in the hospital refrigerator and only then was permission given for its
[00:24:53] disposal. But I still have
[00:24:57] phantom pains. When I think about my leg, I
[00:25:01] feel tingling and goosebumps. Sometimes the pain
[00:25:04] is so strong, as if a knife is cutting off my leg, but
[00:25:07] after a few seconds, it all passes. When you were
[00:25:11] told that the crocodile that tore off your leg was already
[00:25:14] dead, killed. What did you feel? When I found out that
[00:25:17] Dorothea was no more, I felt sad. I believe that we
[00:25:21] still had a friendly relationship, you know, Daisy, what
[00:25:24] strikes me the most is the love and warmth with which you say the name
[00:25:28] Dorothea? I love
[00:25:31] animals very much, I always wanted to be closer to
[00:25:35] them, does this breed remind you of Dorothea? Dorothea was
[00:25:39] much larger, about 4 meters in
[00:25:41] length, this is how she
[00:25:44] looked, once I photographed her
[00:25:48] up close, she was right under...
[00:25:58] Fantastic, friends, I'm looking at this photo and it's just... Thank
[00:27:20] you very much for the motivating story, thank you for being who you are and for showing by your example that you should never give
[00:27:24] up under any circumstances.
[00:27:27] The story is more like a Hollywood horror movie
[00:27:31] script. Despite what happened to her, Daisy
[00:27:34] feels absolutely happy and even
[00:27:37] dedicates herself to saving and protecting caimans.
[00:27:41] This incident taught her the main thing, to appreciate every minute
[00:27:44] of life.
[00:27:47] Watch in the next program, we will meet a famous Brazilian
[00:27:50] presenter who lives on a fazenda with tigers. Madness,
[00:27:54] to enter a cage with a 2007 kilogram
[00:27:58] tiger, home.
[00:28:03] We will learn how to behave with a dangerous predator so as not to become
[00:28:06] its victim. Friends, how to wash a tiger? Washing a tiger is very simple: take
[00:28:10] shampoo, pour it, look how soapy he is,
[00:28:13] and a handsome boy,
[00:28:17] we will find out why tamed tigers cannot
[00:28:20] return to the wild.
[00:28:48] In the last episode, we met a unique girl, the Brazilian
[00:28:51] scientist Daisy Nishimura, who managed to survive after a fight with
[00:28:55] a giant crocodile.
[00:28:58] I just remember how a huge caiman's head flashed before me
[00:29:01] and swallowed.
[00:29:06] The fact that she survived is a real miracle, but despite
[00:29:09] the terrible incident, Daisy continues to engage in the rescue and
[00:29:13] protection of caimans.
[00:29:16] There are many people in Brazil who selflessly save animals,
[00:29:19] but some cross all conceivable
[00:29:22] boundaries. Right now we are going to visit a unique
[00:29:25] person who, for the sake of saving animals, decided to live with the most
