00:00:00under the control of experts, steep rapids,
00:00:03but everything was quite calm, without much
00:00:06extreme, the rafting seemed a bit boring, I even ironized about it,
00:00:10it's a kindergarten and not
00:00:12rafting,
00:00:15the most terrible things always happen unexpectedly, we were calmly approaching the
00:00:18rapid, I joked, continuing to comment on this vacation,
00:00:22a kindergarten, considering that I was wearing a life vest, there were no large
00:00:25rapids nearby, I was absolutely
00:00:28calm,
00:00:30We approached this place with optimism and
00:00:32excitement, oh, oh, oh, this is
00:00:36the fatal rapid, the boat capsized, the lack of experience made itself
00:00:40known,
00:00:49Sasha and I fell out of
00:00:50the raft.
00:01:03It was a typical, very common situation for rafting,
00:01:05which suddenly became
00:01:08critical, what I wasn't warned about
00:01:12happened.
00:01:19The instructor surfaced almost
00:01:20immediately.
00:01:27She and Sasha were not visible on the surface. Everyone in the boat
00:01:30was scared, the situation
00:01:31was extraordinary,
00:01:36exactly at the fourteenth second, Sasha surfaces, he is confused and scared,
00:01:50they help him get back into
00:01:52the raft.
00:02:04Then the boat picks up one of
00:02:05the guides.
00:02:10The instructors exchange impressions, laugh and don't
00:02:13pay attention to the fact that I am still
00:02:16gone.
00:02:20More than 20 seconds passed, and I still didn't surface. In the support
00:02:23boat, the tension was at its maximum. The national park
00:02:26staff, our guide, start thinking about the worst
00:02:30that could have happened to me, but there's nothing
00:02:33they can do, they can only wait for the body to
00:02:37surface. Now imagine what happens to these
00:02:40water currents at the rapid, in the place where there is a step,
00:02:44it's a small waterfall, the whole mass of water rapidly accelerates
00:02:48and rushes down, its force increases, it presses with
00:02:51its enormous weight on the bottom surface, if a body in a
00:02:55life jacket ends up directly under such a current, it can be pressed to
00:02:59the bottom, and then... the life jacket won't help, its buoyancy
00:03:02is much less than the force of the water current, plus the life jacket tries
00:03:06to float only vertically upwards, and to escape a deadly
00:03:09trap you need to swim sideways, but paddling is also
00:03:12dangerous, having lost orientation in the water, you can paddle in
00:03:16the wrong direction and only worsen the situation, it's better for beginners
00:03:19to just wait, a person is often saved by the fact that the currents of a mountain
00:03:23river are unstable, water vortices change direction, sooner or
00:03:27later inevitably pushing the body from the point of no return. Another
00:03:30very common reason why a body in a life jacket doesn't surface is
00:03:34a "barrel", that's what they call a place where the water, after hitting
00:03:38the bottom, swirls in a vortex, the direction of the water
00:03:41current in such a place always goes in the opposite direction of the river's
00:03:44current, as a result a whirlpool forms, in which a person
00:03:48spins like in a washing machine, how long it will spin depends on
00:03:52many factors, the depth of the relief and the amount of water.
00:03:55Professionals who have dedicated their entire lives to rafting,
00:03:58know how to behave in such situations, so that the chances
00:04:02of drowning become minimal, and even then there are no guarantees, here
00:04:06the river decides whether to let a person go or
00:04:08not, it seemed endlessly
00:04:12long, but the last seconds were especially terrifying, I
00:04:16understood that these moments could be the last in my
00:04:19life, then in the distance I saw light and rushed to paddle
00:04:23towards it, it wasn't a mirage, a few seconds later I was on
00:04:26the surface.
00:04:35I took the biggest possible breath
00:04:39and went back under
00:04:41the water for a short time,
00:04:46when I surfaced for the second time, I just raised my hands and couldn't even
00:04:49scream.
00:04:55Glassy eyes, an absent gaze, I was in shock.
00:04:58Take the rope.
00:05:02Just now I felt like I was born a second time, from the support boat they threw me
00:05:06a rope,
00:05:09I grabbed it, but I had no strength to pull, the guys
00:05:17pulled me into the boat, Dima, are you conscious?
00:05:29Everything's
00:05:29fine.
00:05:37They didn't pull me out for a very long time. How many
00:05:40seconds? At first, you weren't visible. How long weren't
00:05:43you visible? I felt it for a long time, I already started thinking
00:05:46the worst. If we don't count record holders,
00:05:50the duration of breath holding in normal conditions for an ordinary person
00:05:53is on average 40-60 seconds. Camera recordings
00:05:56showed that I was in a natural centrifuge underwater for 25
00:06:00seconds. In calm conditions, for example, during training in
00:06:03a swimming pool, this is not long and does not present any
00:06:06problems. But in an extreme situation, when the elements
00:06:10spin you with incredible force, and you can't
00:06:13influence it, 25 seconds turn into
00:06:16an eternity, the problem is that
00:06:19I already felt that it was very
00:06:22long, and I already started to think bad thoughts, I already started
00:06:26to think, damn, if I don't surface now, that's
00:06:30it, you know, I'm relying on the life jacket, I'm hoping it will
00:06:34surface, but it's not surfacing, it's not surfacing, I
00:06:37tried to hold my breath as much as possible, I understood that I couldn't
00:06:41save myself. I just waited until I surfaced, and then,
00:06:44probably really 20 seconds, I saw that it was getting lighter
00:06:48and moving upwards, whew, that was
00:06:50scary, where is Sasha? Over there
00:06:54on the boat, he also wasn't visible for some time, but he surfaced
00:06:57faster, you
00:06:59more, this is no longer a child's
00:07:02level,
00:07:05adrenaline, climb
00:07:09over here, I thought I was...
00:07:13Do you want another go? Do you want another one? Another
00:07:16one?
00:07:21I thought I was done for. Why was it like this? Why didn't I surface for so long? It's because
00:07:24you were caught in a whirlpool.
00:07:38At some point I thought, if it continues like this for
00:07:41some time longer, everything will end. Oh my god, how horrible. I
00:07:45tried to conserve air as much as possible and just
00:07:48relax. Then I saw the light, I started swimming towards
00:07:52the light and surfaced, took a breath, that was probably the
00:07:56best moment of the whole expedition, friends, life
00:07:57is good,
00:08:01you should have thrown yourself on your back and not tried to go
00:08:04up, throw yourself back, I didn't do anything at all,
00:08:08I was just carried away for 20 seconds under water, and could it be that you won't
00:08:11surface? Sometimes it happens that people can't
00:08:15surface for 30-40 seconds, and what was the maximum time your clients or you
00:08:19yourselves spent underwater? 3 minutes, 3 minutes he survived, yes he survived, but
00:08:23lost consciousness and he had to be resuscitated,
00:08:26a quick
00:08:27search on the internet shows
00:08:31that only last year in popular official rafting spots
00:08:35more than 20 people died, one in the Carpathians, four tourists
00:08:38in Georgia, another four in... in my hand I held a paddle, I thought, should I throw it away,
00:09:12or not throw it away, I thought, I'd better throw it away, because once I was kayaking
00:09:16and they said you can't throw away the paddle, but here I
00:09:20decided to throw it away, because I wanted to surface,
00:09:23just half a minute more and I
00:09:32would have suffocated, drowned,
00:09:36it was scary.
00:09:38I thought about death, that I would die,
00:09:43yes, I didn't want
00:09:47to, of
00:09:47course.
00:09:54I was very worried, I saw Sasha surface, but where was
00:09:57Dima? There was a helmet lying around, some paddles
00:10:01were lying around, but Dima wasn't there, and wasn't there, wasn't there. I
00:10:04asked the guys,
00:10:07the boatman, where, where is Dima, where is Dima? He said, I don't know,
00:10:11I don't see him. "You were already so
00:10:15pale, faceless, even a little
00:10:18greenish, I thought you had lost consciousness,
00:10:21thank God, everything ended well, thank God, yes we are glad." that you
00:10:25came back with
00:10:26us.
00:10:30How good it is to live, friends, it's very good to live,
00:10:33life is the greatest gift we have, and you understand this only when you almost
00:10:36died,
00:10:38in the first seconds I thought I would surface immediately, then I realized
00:10:42that I wasn't surfacing, but I still thought I would surface now, then when it was already
00:10:46long and breathing became, but there was frankly not enough air, I think, why am I not
00:10:50surfacing, then I managed to think, oh, these are rapids, maybe I will be
00:10:53carried by the waves and... I will never surface, then I started to understand,
00:10:57finally, that if I don't get pulled up now, I
00:11:01will die,
00:11:03if 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,
00:11:07oh my God, will it really be like this, it's a nightmare everyone will only find out about this from
00:11:11the news, from newspapers, that somewhere in Brazil a film
00:11:14crew died,
00:11:16thank God that everything ended
00:11:21well, this is great.
00:11:25Happiness, breathing air and being on
00:11:29a boat, on land, but not underwater. Water is a terrible element, nature
00:11:32is such a force and power that cannot be defeated, man is
00:11:36just a grain of sand, and he cannot conquer
00:11:40nature, you don't need to use that expression, man can only get closer to
00:11:44nature as much as possible, but if he crosses the line, he dies, we were convinced
00:11:48of this today.
00:11:57You see, I was spun so much that even my sandals
00:12:00broke, and these were pretty good
00:12:03sandals, branded, strong, they tore
00:12:06the sandals, I was just flailing around, it was
00:12:09horrible,
00:12:11by
00:12:13if anyone still has questions about wearing a life jacket
00:12:16during water activities, you know, many people like to go without a life jacket,
00:12:19believe me, friends, wear
00:12:22it, without it I would be dead.
00:12:28After what happened, I consider it my duty to warn
00:12:32travelers who are considering tourist
00:12:35rafting. Rafting on mountain rivers is an incredibly interesting
00:12:39sport that brings a lot of positive emotions. We are not
00:12:42dissuading you from this entertainment, but my example
00:12:45showed that it is not a toy.
00:12:48Even in a relatively calm mountain river, a dangerous
00:12:51situation is possible, a life jacket is not a guarantee.
00:12:57that you will surface quickly, not all instructors warn about this, if you decide
00:13:00to try rafting, it is important to
00:13:02know this,
00:13:08even in tourist areas it is important to remember this and to treat
00:13:11nature with respect, because it is always stronger than man.
00:13:15I can't quite come to terms with it, you know that state, having experienced a near-death state, you
00:13:29are in a completely different state and you re-evaluate a lot, you realize, my God, what was I worried
00:13:33about before, everything we worry about, how
00:13:37unimportant it all is, how insignificant and petty it all is, the most
00:13:40important thing is our life, and you only understand that when
00:13:44this life can
00:13:46end and you feel it, how it starts to leave
00:13:50you, a unique life lesson
00:13:53that made me re-evaluate a lot.
00:13:56I won't come back
00:14:03here again, when I don't want to,
00:14:06this case once again proved
00:14:11that we are helpless before the power of nature, but even in the most critical
00:14:15situation, you need to fight for your life until the end. In
00:14:18an expedition to the Amazon, we learned an incredible story that
00:14:22happened to a Brazilian scientist of Japanese origin, Daisy
00:14:25Nishimura. A crocodile grabbed her, dragged her
00:14:29to the bottom, twisted her like that in the water until it bit off
00:14:32her leg. Was she conscious? Yes, and thanks to the fact
00:14:35that she lost her leg, she was able to swim away
00:14:39and escape. I couldn't leave this region without
00:14:42learning the details of this incredible rescue story. In such
00:14:46cases, people never survive. It's a real
00:14:49miracle. So even 10 years later, the locals
00:14:53still...
00:15:38That day she was alone at the station, Daisy was sitting with her
00:15:42feet in the water, like this, perhaps she simply
00:15:45forgot that doing that is very dangerous. Suddenly
00:15:49a Caiman swam up, grabbed her leg and dragged her straight into
00:15:52the river.
00:15:55During the low water season, Caimans are especially dangerous, these creatures
00:15:58can jump out of the water and attack, even if you are just
00:16:02floating in a boat. I talked to the locals,
00:16:05many say, we hate.
00:17:07The girl scheduled a meeting with us at the zoo near the crocodile
00:17:11enclosure. And here is Daisy.
00:17:15Daisy, good day. Hello. It's very
00:17:18nice to meet you. You are a heroic girl. Thank you. Of
00:17:22the entire Amazon expedition, and we spent more than two months there.
00:17:25Your story, I think, shocked
00:17:28and amazed me the most. Local residents said that
00:17:32you had become so accustomed
00:17:35and so relaxed
00:17:38that you stopped following safety measures and therefore you
00:17:41put your foot in the water, how was it really
00:17:45then? I lived for 9 months at a research base surrounded by
00:17:49water, there were many caimans, we even named one of them
00:17:52Dorothea, sometimes we fed them, but I never
00:17:56put my feet in the water,
00:17:59so you knew this caiman well, of course, we
00:18:02loved her very much, caimans lead a sedentary lifestyle and
00:18:06territory.
00:19:37I was deep underwater, I was already running out of oxygen, I
00:19:41desperately started feeling for its nose or eyes, but everything under my hands
00:19:45was hard as a stone, luckily I found
00:19:49two holes, probably it was its
00:19:51nose, so you were feeling its snout,
00:19:54yes, yes, when I felt something soft, I
00:19:58dug my fingers into that spot with all my might, squeezed it, yes,
00:20:02yes, and after that the caiman let go of me, I started trying
00:20:06to surface to...
00:20:16I 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
00:20:20waters of the Amazon, a bloodied Daisy could become prey not only
00:20:23to crocodiles. People living here still cannot believe
00:20:27that she is still alive. The biggest miracle
00:20:30is that she was not eaten by piranhas. That year there
00:20:34were many of them here, and she had a huge wound. A lot
00:20:37of blood, piranhas smell it immediately
00:20:40and swim over.
00:20:42I understood that piranhas would soon swim to the smell of blood and
00:20:46I was very scared. Daisy still managed to surface.
00:21:02No, I hadn't realized it yet, I was trying
00:21:05to climb onto the station, pulled myself up with my hands and wanted
00:21:08to throw my leg up, but I couldn't do it, then I
00:21:12realized that my leg was just gone, just pieces of
00:21:15flesh were hanging.
00:21:19So... your first thought when you lifted your leg and saw
00:21:22that it was gone? At that moment I
00:21:26was only thinking about how to get out of the water, urgently call someone for
00:21:30help, and the absence of my leg concerned me the least,
00:21:33somehow I still managed to pull myself up and get to the top,
00:21:36so it turns out you were in such a strong shock that you
00:21:40didn't even realize your leg was gone, when I got to the top, I certainly
00:21:44saw and realized that it was gone, but my survival instinct kicked
00:21:48in. When
00:22:30you were underwater, he was
00:22:33breaking your bones, was there really no hellish pain and
00:22:37it's very surprising that you didn't lose consciousness from battle
00:22:39shock. I didn't feel pain until I got
00:22:43to the hospital, apparently there was a strong release of
00:22:45adrenaline. By the way, when I was waiting for help,
00:22:49I remembered that I had a pressure cooker on, I was cooking myself
00:22:53beans, when the guys arrived, I asked them to turn
00:22:56it off,
00:23:01ugh, only when I was brought to the hospital did I feel just
00:23:04hellish pain, your leg, was it
00:23:07bitten off or twisted off, how did
00:23:11it separate from the body, the doctors already made a verdict
00:23:13later, imagine that you are butchering
00:23:16a chicken and to tear off a leg you twist it...
00:24:50in the hospital refrigerator and only then was permission given for its
00:24:53disposal. But I still have
00:24:57phantom pains. When I think about my leg, I
00:25:01feel tingling and goosebumps. Sometimes the pain
00:25:04is so strong, as if a knife is cutting off my leg, but
00:25:07after a few seconds, it all passes. When you were
00:25:11told that the crocodile that tore off your leg was already
00:25:14dead, killed. What did you feel? When I found out that
00:25:17Dorothea was no more, I felt sad. I believe that we
00:25:21still had a friendly relationship, you know, Daisy, what
00:25:24strikes me the most is the love and warmth with which you say the name
00:25:28Dorothea? I love
00:25:31animals very much, I always wanted to be closer to
00:25:35them, does this breed remind you of Dorothea? Dorothea was
00:25:39much larger, about 4 meters in
00:25:41length, this is how she
00:25:44looked, once I photographed her
00:25:48up close, she was right under...
00:25:58Fantastic, friends, I'm looking at this photo and it's just... Thank
00:27:20you very much for the motivating story, thank you for being who you are and for showing by your example that you should never give
00:27:24up under any circumstances.
00:27:27The story is more like a Hollywood horror movie
00:27:31script. Despite what happened to her, Daisy
00:27:34feels absolutely happy and even
00:27:37dedicates herself to saving and protecting caimans.
00:27:41This incident taught her the main thing, to appreciate every minute
00:27:44of life.
00:27:47Watch in the next program, we will meet a famous Brazilian
00:27:50presenter who lives on a fazenda with tigers. Madness,
00:27:54to enter a cage with a 2007 kilogram
00:27:58tiger, home.
00:28:03We will learn how to behave with a dangerous predator so as not to become
00:28:06its victim. Friends, how to wash a tiger? Washing a tiger is very simple: take
00:28:10shampoo, pour it, look how soapy he is,
00:28:13and a handsome boy,
00:28:17we will find out why tamed tigers cannot
00:28:20return to the wild.
00:28:48In the last episode, we met a unique girl, the Brazilian
00:28:51scientist Daisy Nishimura, who managed to survive after a fight with
00:28:55a giant crocodile.
00:28:58I just remember how a huge caiman's head flashed before me
00:29:01and swallowed.
00:29:06The fact that she survived is a real miracle, but despite
00:29:09the terrible incident, Daisy continues to engage in the rescue and
00:29:13protection of caimans.
00:29:16There are many people in Brazil who selflessly save animals,
00:29:19but some cross all conceivable
00:29:22boundaries. Right now we are going to visit a unique
00:29:25person who, for the sake of saving animals, decided to live with the most
00:29:29dangerous predators on the planet under one roof. Right
00:29:32now we are going to visit a famous TV presenter whom the whole country
00:29:36knows and who is famous for making
00:29:39programs about animals, that is, today we will have a very
00:29:42interesting day with a very famous and wealthy
00:29:46person.
00:29:48So friends, such a big fence, they say oligarchs have high fences, well,
00:29:52here fences are real fences,
00:29:55open
00:29:57up,
00:30:01on this huge villa lives... He is known throughout the country as
00:30:04a TV presenter and animal trainer. For more than
00:30:0830 years he has dedicated himself to working with wild animals. All of them were
00:30:12born in captivity, rescued from zoos and shelters with poor
00:30:16conditions. The presenter does not just film programs and commercials
00:30:19featuring animals. Most of them live in his
00:30:23home. Gilberto's true passion is
00:30:26tigers. To show how a person can get along with
00:30:30a predator, Gilberto first meets with his tiger
