0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, on Real Rescues...

0:00:04 > 0:00:08An all-service rescue operation to find survivors after a car

0:00:08 > 0:00:10plunges into a freezing river.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Is there someone else in the car? Yes or no?

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Is there someone else in the car?

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Yes? Yup.

0:00:19 > 0:00:23A frantic young woman dials 999 after waking to find her

0:00:23 > 0:00:25boyfriend has stopped breathing.

0:00:33 > 0:00:38A retired doctor diagnoses himself after falling off his bike.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40As far as I can make it out, it's acromioclavicular.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44But I'm not sure the shoulder hasn't gone as well.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hello and welcome to Real Rescues.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09For six months, we've been out on the road, in the air

0:01:09 > 0:01:11and on the water

0:01:11 > 0:01:13with the emergency services across the UK.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17We've witnessed some extraordinary rescues featuring the work of the

0:01:17 > 0:01:21ambulance, police, fire and rescue, coastguard as well as lifeboats.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Emergencies almost always start with a 999 call in a control room like this.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29And occasionally, in a major rescue, all of those services work together.

0:01:34 > 0:01:3710.30pm in Pevensey, East Sussex.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40PC Stu Kenway and Richard Brand are heading back to base

0:01:40 > 0:01:42when a call comes in.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45We've got a vehicle which has crashed into a ditch.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49The call's come via East Sussex Fire & Rescue.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52So far, it sounds like a routine collision,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55but, as they approach the scene, the radio message reveals they're

0:01:55 > 0:01:57dealing with something much more serious.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07The car isn't in a ditch. It's in the river. OK.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22The river is extremely deep.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26The local Pevensey fire crew are already on the scene.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Witnesses say the car was swerving all over

0:02:28 > 0:02:31the road before plunging down the bank into the river.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34One person appears to have escaped,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36but there could be others still trapped inside.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41I need to make sure we haven't got anyone else in this car.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45The crew smash the back window

0:02:45 > 0:02:50so they can gently prod inside the car to see if anyone's trapped.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55The rescuers are working on a steep bank.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Below them, deep and freezing river water.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01So far, there are no signs of life.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Visibility's very low.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08The crews use a thermal imaging camera to pick up any heat

0:03:08 > 0:03:13sources which could be people but nothing is showing up.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16They're as sure as they can be, at this stage, no-one is inside.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19But they need to be certain.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Can we get a couple of strops down here?

0:03:22 > 0:03:25We'll get a strop round that corner.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28We'll turf off that lamppost.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32Even if we can get it up enough to see if it's clear inside.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36This is now a major operation.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Sussex group manager Neil Robinson is taking over control of the scene.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44I'll keep liaising with the police.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45I don't think we'll get the car out.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49We might get it up enough to have a good look inside.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50That's the plan.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Police investigations are going on back at control to find

0:03:54 > 0:03:55out who the car belongs to.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59'I think I spoke to the owner of the car.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03'However, it's her son's vehicle.' There's still no sign of the driver.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10They're making progress stabilising the car with large straps.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14The vehicle's secured now so it won't drift off down the river.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18The crews search for anyone who may still be in or around the car.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22The police efforts continue to find the man spotted swimming

0:04:22 > 0:04:23out of the vehicle.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29News comes over the police radio - a man has been found.

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Go with him.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46The North East ambulance service control room in Newcastle.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51It's 2am and call handler Callum is working the late shift

0:04:51 > 0:04:54when a frantic 999 call comes in.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Callum knows immediately to scale up the response

0:05:37 > 0:05:38to the highest emergency.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40We knew he wasn't conscious from minute one.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42We're trying to work out whether he's breathing or not.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45It was about getting the phone to the mouth. I couldn't hear anything.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47She said he was breathing initially,

0:05:47 > 0:05:54which was confusing. He was taking very long breaths which is not good.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58You need a regular breathing pattern so we needed to get CPR on the go.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01CPR is the emergency chest compression that can keep

0:06:01 > 0:06:03blood pumping around the body.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06The suspicion is that not only is the man not breathing,

0:06:06 > 0:06:08but his heart has stopped.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26The desperate caller Lynette had been asleep next to her

0:06:26 > 0:06:28partner David and baby Ella.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Waking, she immediately realised something was wrong.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33As soon as I touched him, he fell over this way.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38He fell on top of the baby so I had to lift him up and move him to here.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41He lay across the bed here

0:06:41 > 0:06:44and started gasping, like holding his breaths.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46I knew straightaway he was taking his last breaths.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28I was just focused on what I was doing, to be honest.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30I can't even remember what I was thinking.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34I was just focused on helping him. Doing everything I could to save him.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I knew the lady was very distressed.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Towards the end of the call,

0:07:45 > 0:07:48you did hear the child in the room, which was a bit upsetting.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51The main thing I'm focusing on is listening to the lady and making

0:07:51 > 0:07:54sure she's making an effort to do the chest compression because

0:07:54 > 0:07:56it can be tiring.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58The best thing for us to do is stay on the phone and say,

0:07:58 > 0:08:00"You need to keep going. There's someone coming."

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Talk them through it and it gives them something to focus on.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Even your voice. It gives them something to latch on to.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Otherwise, if you're not there, they're going to panic.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00ambulance to the house.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07On board is paramedic Gail Savage.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Obviously the lassie's quite frantic and she's asked us

0:09:09 > 0:09:13to go into the house and directed us to the upstairs bedroom.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16When I got there, the patient's lying on the floor.

0:09:16 > 0:09:22He's not breathing. No pulse. I started doing CPR.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25They started doing everything they could for David.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28They were giving him adrenaline, they had an oxygen mask on him.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30By now, David's father has arrived.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35All I remember hearing is him going, "Come on, son. Come on, son. Come on, son."

0:09:35 > 0:09:38At this point, Lynette's back in the bedroom,

0:09:38 > 0:09:43really quite frantic with the little child and she was screaming,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46"Daddy" or "Dada," but I just remember hearing that,

0:09:46 > 0:09:49going permanently in the background.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53She wouldn't know what was going on, screaming. I was crying. It was awful.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55We couldn't find any heart rate.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Once we got the pads on, we found it was a shockable rhythm and

0:09:59 > 0:10:03there wasn't that straight line like you see on telly.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07We've shocked David at that point. It isn't enough.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09They can't delay getting him to hospital.

0:10:09 > 0:10:14That means stopping all treatment to move him downstairs to the ambulance.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17At this point, all equipment comes off.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20All the machines and David's had no CPR at this point.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22He's had no oxygen from us.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24We start all over again.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26In the back of the ambulance,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29they continue trying to restart David's heart.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34We gave him 16 shocks, which is a lot of shocks.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39David still didn't have his heart working properly at this point.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42He still wasn't breathing for himself.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Later, the fight to save David's life

0:10:47 > 0:10:51and restart his heart continues for over an hour.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54They said his heart had been stopped for about 17 minutes

0:10:54 > 0:10:57so that's why they said he'd definitely be braindead.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01They say, after four, you've got some kind of brain damage.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07This map gives a pretty good idea of the area covered by this control room.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10You've got the M40 up the top, M4 down the bottom

0:11:10 > 0:11:12and it pushes in as far as the M25.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Sometimes the control room here gets calls from slightly

0:11:15 > 0:11:17further afield, as Rich is about to explain.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21What's the furthest away you've ever had? A call from Tasmania.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Explain how you end up getting a call from Tasmania.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27A woman had got home from a couple of days away

0:11:27 > 0:11:31and noticed her car had been damaged and there was no note left.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34She's gone into her phone and typed Beaconsfield police station.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Where is she? She's in Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire. In this country?

0:11:37 > 0:11:40So she types in the thing and what does she get?

0:11:40 > 0:11:41She got a number on there.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44She didn't look at it and just dialled

0:11:44 > 0:11:47and went through to Tasmania at quarter to three in the morning.

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Somebody's working a night shift in Tasmania. How does that call go?

0:11:51 > 0:11:55I think he took the call thinking it was something in their town

0:11:55 > 0:11:58and it wasn't until they got the exact location,

0:11:58 > 0:12:02they put the street name and realised they didn't have a street of that

0:12:02 > 0:12:04name in THEIR Beaconsfield so they thought they'd give us a call.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07The English accent should have given it away.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10When he gets through to you, you go,

0:12:10 > 0:12:12"Yes, that's definitely in our area."

0:12:12 > 0:12:15I had a search and a name under that street came up.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20I took the call. I took all the details and I gave her a call.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22That has to be the furthest out anyone's ever

0:12:22 > 0:12:25been in terms of trying to make a phone call.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30How far away are we talking? I think it's about 17,500 miles.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32As an error, that's about as big as it ever gets.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Thanks very much.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49An ambulance is heading to sheltered accommodation near Southampton.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53On board are paramedics Sally and Jason.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56A lunch time bike ride has left a man injured.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00It sounds like a fairly routine assignment for Sally and Jason,

0:13:00 > 0:13:02but that always depends on the patient.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08They don't come across many as well informed as former RAF chief

0:13:08 > 0:13:10medical officer Dr Ted Morley.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Dislocation of the shoulder.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Fabulous. I don't need to do anything then.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20Look at that. Oh, so you have! Any pain along here?

0:13:20 > 0:13:22No, that's all right.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27Dr Morley is already running through a range of possible diagnoses.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30As far as I can make out it's acromioclavicular,

0:13:30 > 0:13:34but I'm not sure the shoulder hasn't gone as well.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's popped forward, hasn't it? Yeah.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38You know what we're going to do. Yes, I do.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41We're going to pop you in a sling and take you up to A & E.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Simple as that. Well, that's right.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Dr Morley came off his bike after avoiding a speed bump.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Despite his injury, he got back on his bike

0:13:49 > 0:13:52and cycled the rest of the way home.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55There's no other injuries anywhere else? I've got bruised ribs.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59You can breathe OK, nice deep breaths? Oh, that's painful.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03I'll put my shirt on? Yes, you will.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Although he must be extremely uncomfortable,

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Dr Morley has been in no hurry to ask for medical assistance.

0:14:10 > 0:14:15It's less than two hours since I did it. Less than two hours?!

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Yes, it was quarter to 12.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23Was it painful? Smarted a bit?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25I was going to say, what the hell do you expect?!

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Dislocate your bloody shoulder. Of course it's bloody painful.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33We can give you some Entonox for that. I wouldn't worry about that.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Pain relief's not high on Dr Morley's priority list.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39He just wants to solve this particular medical puzzle.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43I just want to know whether it's acromioclavicular

0:14:43 > 0:14:48and also the scapula ligament's gone as well.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51I think. I think you are probably right.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Fabulous.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58I wish all patients were like that - knew exactly what was the matter with them.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01He always this organised, is he? Marvellous.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Organised and, as you might expect from an ex-RAF officer,

0:15:05 > 0:15:08prepared for any eventuality.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Also, in case I faint, I'm an auricular fibrillation.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15I won't let them put a bloody pacemaker in because you're

0:15:15 > 0:15:18relying on amps.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20You can't trust amps.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23LAUGHTER

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Duly warned that Ted has refused a pacemaker for his already

0:15:26 > 0:15:29diagnosed irregular heart rhythm, the paramedics lead him

0:15:29 > 0:15:32out to the ambulance.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Pop yourself down on this one. Thanks very much.

0:15:35 > 0:15:41Off we go. My blood pressure's usually about 160 over 60.

0:15:41 > 0:15:46When I've been cycling hard, it comes down to 140.

0:15:46 > 0:15:51All right. It's not all that bad. You weren't knocked off your bike.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53You just fell off it?

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Not at all. No, no, no. Entirely my fault. Going too BLEEP fast.

0:15:59 > 0:16:00You couldn't write this, could you?

0:16:00 > 0:16:03You couldn't write this story.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Without painkillers clouding his judgment,

0:16:06 > 0:16:11Dr Morley confirms his diagnosis. You think you've got a fracture?

0:16:11 > 0:16:15I think it's just the acromioclavicular joint.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18But the acromion may have been fractured.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20OK. I think so.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23In which case, there's nothing you can do about it.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25It will be up to the hospital if the acromion,

0:16:25 > 0:16:27the name for the end of the collarbone, is indeed fractured.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Very kind of you. My pleasure, sir.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34You're a bloody good driver.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37You've been a breath of fresh air today. Yes. That's good.

0:16:37 > 0:16:42The strength of character the guy has is absolutely amazing.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47Getting back on your bike and getting home

0:16:47 > 0:16:50and then worrying about it when you're home.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53That takes such strength of character.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55He was so much fun to talk to,

0:16:55 > 0:16:59I found it really difficult to write anything down.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01I didn't want to miss anything. He was amazing.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03I hope he's all right and I'm sure he will be,

0:17:03 > 0:17:06but it'll be interesting to find out how he does later on.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Later, we learn if Dr Morley's self-diagnosis is correct.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Coming up on Real Rescues...

0:17:16 > 0:17:20A pony kicks off inside its horse box after getting stuck on a bar.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22When a vet tries to sedate the animal,

0:17:22 > 0:17:25she's forced to make a hasty retreat.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32And paramedic Gail battles to restart the heart of young

0:17:32 > 0:17:34dad David after a cardiac arrest.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38He'd been down a long time and he'd had a lot of shocks.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42Hand on heart, I don't think any of us expected him to live.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48In Sussex, police officers Stu Kenway

0:17:48 > 0:17:52and Richard Brand are at a major emergency.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55A car's ended up in the river and crews have been searching

0:17:55 > 0:17:58for signs of life in the submerged vehicle.

0:17:58 > 0:18:03Eyewitnesses have reported seeing one person swim away.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07Suddenly there's a development over the police radio.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09A man has been found in a field by

0:18:09 > 0:18:11dog handler PC Graham Fox.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24Ambulance crew? We've got him in a field unconscious but breathing.

0:18:24 > 0:18:29Maybe it's the driver. The dog man's with him.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Do we know how far away he is? Don't know yet.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35I see you shining.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40It's a long trek across thick undergrowth

0:18:40 > 0:18:43but before the police and paramedics even reach the man,

0:18:43 > 0:18:48PC Graham Fox radios over some very worrying news.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55This changes everything.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58He's saying there was someone else in the car.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Go with him.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03Paramedics reach the man and start to treat him immediately.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Can you hear me? What's your first name? Any pain anywhere?

0:19:07 > 0:19:11None at all? But the police need information.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Was there anyone else in that car?

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Is there someone else in the car? Yes or no?

0:19:19 > 0:19:20Is there someone else in the car?

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Yes?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25It confirms their worst fears.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28The fire crew have already searched the car and haven't been

0:19:28 > 0:19:30able to find anyone.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32They need to know who else could have been inside.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Do you know the name of the person in the vehicle?

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Hold my hand.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Do you know if it was a male or a female?

0:19:41 > 0:19:45The man is increasingly distressed. His information changes again.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Is it a female in the car with you? Do you know her name?

0:19:49 > 0:19:51No.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53But there is someone with you, yeah?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's all right to tell us. Just relax.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59We're doing our best to get them out.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01We just need to know, yeah?

0:20:01 > 0:20:05According to the man, two people were with him in the car -

0:20:05 > 0:20:07a man called Adam and a woman.

0:20:07 > 0:20:12But it's over an hour since the car went into the water.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15The thermal imaging cameras haven't picked up any signs of life.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18A police helicopter has been called in to help detect anyone

0:20:18 > 0:20:21who might be in the river or on the river bank.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26In the field, the man is starting to ask about Adam again.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Is Adam all right?

0:20:28 > 0:20:33Adam? Adam is the chap in the car, is it? He was driving.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35He was driving. Is he all right? We're just checking on him now.

0:20:35 > 0:20:40Just checking on him now. He was driving. I only just got out, mate.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43I had to...

0:20:43 > 0:20:45I only just got out. I had to get out cos it was filling with water.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Of course it was. Yeah.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50What's your name? What's your name?

0:20:50 > 0:20:53The paramedics have managed to find his wallet.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57This should help confirm his identity. Is it Andreas?

0:20:57 > 0:21:01Is that your name, Andreas? He said Adam was driving.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Where is he? He was in the car.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06We're just sorting him out. He is in that car.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09He's in... We are dealing with that.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Don't worry about that. The fire service are here.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15We are looking after it but we need to know how many people. One or two.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Can you think back?

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Was there just you and Adam in the car, then? It was?

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Are you sure?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Andreas seems confused

0:21:25 > 0:21:28but they radio through the details to the riverside team.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43Reinforcements are arriving to help get Andreas out of the field.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46What we do is get him on there.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50Blanket, foil blanket and we'll get some straps on him.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53The paramedic team, assisted by the fire crew, work swiftly to get

0:21:53 > 0:21:58Andreas strapped onto a rigid board so he can be carried to safety.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Brace. LIFT!

0:22:01 > 0:22:04The journey through the undergrowth begins.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12It's thanks to PC Fox and his police dog Abbie that he was found.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16I've spoken to a witness who said somebody had swum from the vehicle

0:22:16 > 0:22:18that was submerged in the river,

0:22:18 > 0:22:22to which I then deployed with my police dog, who picked up the scent

0:22:22 > 0:22:25of somebody on the other side of the bank.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28And we then tracked across to the adjoining field,

0:22:28 > 0:22:32probably about 100m, 150m, to where we found a male, very wet,

0:22:32 > 0:22:36cold, unconscious but breathing, luckily.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Emerging from the field,

0:22:38 > 0:22:41the crew carry Andreas to the waiting ambulance.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43We'll have you on board in a minute.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50One survivor is on his way to the hospital.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53The search of the car continues.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Lifting it out of the water is going to be the only way

0:22:55 > 0:22:59to check no-one has been trapped inside.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11The New Forest and specialist animal rescue team are on the move.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13There's an emergency at a stables.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17The information is that we've got a horse trapped in a trailer.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19That's all we've got at the moment.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21The stables are behind a hotel.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Just leave it out here for the time being.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Right. Book us in, mate.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Animal rescue specialist Jim Green is greeted

0:23:29 > 0:23:32by the worried owner and her staff.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38The horse had been on its way to the vet when it tried to make a break

0:23:38 > 0:23:43for freedom by jumping over a safety bar in the front of the horse box.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Now it's stuck.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48First thing we're going to do is we're going to put the box back up.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51What's his name? Scooby. Scooby. We're going to have you out of here.

0:23:51 > 0:23:52Don't worry.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Daylight will only provoke Scooby to try another escape route.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58So how old is Scooby and what is he?

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Jim needs to find out the character of the horse to see

0:24:01 > 0:24:03how it will behave when the firefighters start work.

0:24:03 > 0:24:0718 years old. How many hands high? 14? Not too big. OK.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Jim and his team can't start work until Scooby,

0:24:10 > 0:24:12who's starting to make a bit of noise, is sedated.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16He's stuck on his breastbone so as soon as we've got everything

0:24:16 > 0:24:18nice and quiet, we should be able... WHINNY DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:24:18 > 0:24:21It's a waiting game until the vet arrives.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Jim briefs his team of specially trained firefighters

0:24:23 > 0:24:25to get ready with cutting gear

0:24:25 > 0:24:28if they can't undo the bar that's trapping Scooby.

0:24:28 > 0:24:3014.3, something like that,

0:24:30 > 0:24:32so he's not a massive horse but he has just got the...

0:24:32 > 0:24:36His fronts now are resting over the breast bar so he is on his sternum.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Every now and then,

0:24:39 > 0:24:41there's signs Scooby is still trying to free himself.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43BANGING

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Steady, boy. Steady, boy. Steady.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50His feet are on the ground, actually,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53so our key now is just to keep him nice and chilled.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57A backup team has arrived. Right.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59So we've got a 14.3 horse.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Once the vet's here we'll get it sedated.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Then we've got the issue of cutting the breast bar off.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09The animal rescue-trained firefighters

0:25:09 > 0:25:11try and get a closer look at the bar.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15HORSE WHINNIES

0:25:15 > 0:25:17It doesn't look like the breast bar.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20Inside, Scooby has got his head down and seems to be feeding

0:25:20 > 0:25:24but suddenly he makes another bid for freedom.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26BANGING Steady, boy. Steady, boy.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Steady, boy.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Steady, boy. Steady. Steady. Steady.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36BANGING

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Just stand back a little bit.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41If he does get... Hello, boy.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45Despite Scooby's frantic efforts, he's still stuck.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47I can see you.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Just in time, vet Beth Robinson arrives.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Hello. Are you all right? Yeah. Good stuff. Good, good, good.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54So this is... You obviously know Scooby?

0:25:54 > 0:25:57He was supposed to be coming in for treatment! Yeah.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00He's kicked off big time in there, gone over the breast bar.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04He's doing the normal stuff. Rest and thrash, rest and thrash.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Yeah, sure. We've just shut the box right up to try and calm him down.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Beth prepares the injection.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12She needs to administer it into his vein and then it will work

0:26:12 > 0:26:16within five minutes, but getting access will be difficult.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18The breast bar is down on this side...

0:26:18 > 0:26:21Jim's colleague Anton Phillips has also arrived to add his expertise.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23I'm thinking Allen keys.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25We're ready with Allen keys if we need them

0:26:25 > 0:26:28so we'll go for that as a first option.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31BANGING Steady, boy. Steady, boy.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Jim takes a closer look from the ladder.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Steady, boy.

0:26:38 > 0:26:43This is going to be the best way for vet Beth to administer the sedative.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Steady, boy.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49Just get ready to shut that in case we need to, James.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54But as Beth climbs up the ladder to inject Scooby...

0:26:56 > 0:26:58BANGING

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Steady, boy. Steady, boy.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03..things get a bit lively.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Stick your head back in there, son.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11The rescue team have closed off what the horse perceives to be escape routes.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15It's the only way to stop him trying to make his own bid for freedom.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19What we need, Anton, is a jab stick. Do you want to knock one up quickly?

0:27:19 > 0:27:24This horse is far too powerful to approach without sedation

0:27:24 > 0:27:26so they're going to have to mount the syringe on a pole

0:27:26 > 0:27:29and stick the sedative in his rump muscle.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34It's going to be a longer operation but just as they prepare

0:27:34 > 0:27:38a different approach, there's more noise from the horse box...

0:27:38 > 0:27:40BANGING

0:27:45 > 0:27:48..and an update from one of the stable hands.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Is he off? Oh, yeah? Good boy. Well done.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Scooby has managed to get free all by himself

0:27:54 > 0:27:57and now it's a case of leading him out of the trailer.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Right. We're going to try and back him out.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Steady, boy. Steady, boy.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17And without a murmur, Scooby obliges.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19He is out!

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Over this side. This side.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26He is walked over to his stable to be checked over by vet Beth.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Everything is looking fine.

0:28:33 > 0:28:35Scooby survived with only a scratch near his eye.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38So this is the breast bar

0:28:38 > 0:28:40and this is what stops a horse from moving forward in the box

0:28:40 > 0:28:42when they're travelling but, as I say,

0:28:42 > 0:28:45when they were loading him, he decided to rear up

0:28:45 > 0:28:48and he has managed to, in quite a restricted space, here,

0:28:48 > 0:28:51go up over the breast bar and his legs were down this side.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54And of course, with 500 kilos on here,

0:28:54 > 0:28:56we're not going to be able to lift it off.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59The only issue now is persuading him to get back into the horsebox

0:28:59 > 0:29:02for that trip to the vets for treatment to his feet.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05But that doesn't have to happen for a day or two.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14A lot of this region is rural and one of the crimes that the police

0:29:14 > 0:29:17come across every now and again is hare coursing.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19For those of you who don't know it,

0:29:19 > 0:29:22it's the setting of dogs onto wild hares in the field

0:29:22 > 0:29:26whilst betting on which dog is going to catch up with the hare.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28It is illegal and will be clamped down on very severely

0:29:28 > 0:29:31by the police if they get hold of it.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33Are you all right to talk to me now? Yes. Yes.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36You had a case of this not so long back? We did.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38We had a call during the night from a farmer

0:29:38 > 0:29:40that said there was someone in his field

0:29:40 > 0:29:41and he believed they were hare coursing.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44We sent officers to the area and we located a vehicle

0:29:44 > 0:29:46that persons were in with dogs.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49They made off from us initially

0:29:49 > 0:29:53so we asked the helicopter to come and join in the search

0:29:53 > 0:29:57to pick up the vehicle, which we did locate quite nearby.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Did you manage to stop the vehicle? No.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02The vehicle made off from us

0:30:02 > 0:30:04so we strategically placed officers around

0:30:04 > 0:30:06with what's called stingers, stop sticks,

0:30:06 > 0:30:09which is like the stingers that you put out in the road

0:30:09 > 0:30:11and it bursts the tyres.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13So we deployed one of those

0:30:13 > 0:30:17and that was when it burst the tyre of the vehicle

0:30:17 > 0:30:21and that vehicle went into a field and everybody dispersed.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24So you've now got an on-foot chase going on. Yes.

0:30:24 > 0:30:28So we've gone from a vehicle chase to an on-foot chase

0:30:28 > 0:30:31so we've got the dog unit to go to the area where the car was

0:30:31 > 0:30:34to pick up any sort of tracks that they can.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37They've located one track and followed that track

0:30:37 > 0:30:39and as they are following it,

0:30:39 > 0:30:42the helicopter is also following and recording what is happening

0:30:42 > 0:30:45so we've got a live feed coming through from the area as well

0:30:45 > 0:30:47so we can see what's happening.

0:30:47 > 0:30:52And then as the dog was pursuing one of the persons,

0:30:52 > 0:30:56we had a bit of cussing come over air. Really? Yes.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59It would appear that our dog handler, Bessa,

0:30:59 > 0:31:01was being pulled so hard by the dog

0:31:01 > 0:31:03cos he's got a really good track, that she couldn't keep up.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06THEY LAUGH Did you find them?

0:31:06 > 0:31:09We did. Yes. He ended up being in quite a wooded area

0:31:09 > 0:31:13and we could find a heat source using the helicopter

0:31:13 > 0:31:16but couldn't work out where it was and it appeared he was up a tree.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19He climbed up a tree? Climbed a tree. So you got him in the end?

0:31:19 > 0:31:20We did. We nicked him in the end.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23So that's how seriously the police are taking hare coursing.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25They will employ the police helicopter

0:31:25 > 0:31:27and police stingers to stop you on the road

0:31:27 > 0:31:29and also employ dogs correctly

0:31:29 > 0:31:32to track down criminals who are using them to catch hares.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34Thanks, Lynn. That's all right.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44In East Sussex, it's two hours into a major rescue operation.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47A car has careered off the road, plunging into a river.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52The driver, Andreas, has been found barely conscious

0:31:52 > 0:31:55in thick undergrowth along the river bank.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57He's told the emergency services

0:31:57 > 0:32:00there were two friends in the car with him.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03Police, fire and ambulance are on scene.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06A helicopter is searching overhead.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10Now a specialist water rescue team are trying to get to the car.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13Thermal imaging cameras have found no trace of anyone in the car

0:32:13 > 0:32:18but the rescue teams can't ignore the driver's claims.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20All we've done is secured the vehicle

0:32:20 > 0:32:23and we've got one team here trying to locate it

0:32:23 > 0:32:25and we've got another swift-water rescue team

0:32:25 > 0:32:27that are actually going to go into the water now.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30I think the plan might be that we'll turf the vehicle out

0:32:30 > 0:32:33the way it came in, up that shallow bank.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36But we'll see what happens.

0:32:36 > 0:32:37But even with crews in the water,

0:32:37 > 0:32:39it's proving hard to get to the car.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45The car is so deeply submerged,

0:32:45 > 0:32:48rescuers still can't be certain if anyone is inside,

0:32:48 > 0:32:51nor can they see if anyone is under the water.

0:32:51 > 0:32:55They'll have to lift the car with the utmost care.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58If we go that way and somebody is out in-between here and there,

0:32:58 > 0:33:01they are at risk so it's worth checking that side first.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04There is nobody on that side. We can confirm that.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06Right. OK. There is no-one that side. OK.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09There's nobody that side, it has been confirmed.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14The swift-water team have brought in a specialist fire truck

0:33:14 > 0:33:17often used for hauling animals out of ditches

0:33:17 > 0:33:20but even this may not be powerful enough.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23If it is strong enough to pull it up...

0:33:23 > 0:33:28Or we might have to reposition and then use the crane. OK.

0:33:28 > 0:33:29The cables are attached.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35The car starts to emerge.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37OK. Slow down! Slow down! Stop!

0:33:37 > 0:33:40But the weight of the car and the water is too great.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46It has to be hand winched from the side but slips under again.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Finally there is some success.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56Now the car is higher, the raft can move in,

0:33:56 > 0:33:59allowing rescue crews to take a closer look inside.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04Can we get a torch into that, please? Floodlight.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07Let's just hope there's no-one in there.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Slowly the car is pulled clear of the water.

0:34:12 > 0:34:16Upside down, the extent of the damage is becoming evident.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20But more importantly, there is no-one inside.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26With the car lifted clear of the river bed,

0:34:26 > 0:34:28the fire crew do one last check,

0:34:28 > 0:34:31probing the mud to make sure no-one is under the water.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Now the car is visible, PC Richard Brand

0:34:37 > 0:34:41can at last look for reasons why it left the road so suddenly.

0:34:41 > 0:34:45Evidence, looking at these tyres, show that the tracking

0:34:45 > 0:34:47has been out for a while

0:34:47 > 0:34:50cos this tyre here is all smooth on the inside,

0:34:50 > 0:34:52it's missing most of the tread on the inside as well,

0:34:52 > 0:34:57which obviously doesn't help when you are driving and the roads are wet.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59This gives you less traction.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02The rescue workers can now pack away their kit,

0:35:02 > 0:35:05satisfied nothing more can be done at the river.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11PC Brand comes to take another look. It's a shocking sight.

0:35:11 > 0:35:15He was lucky to get out of that, wasn't he? Very much so, yeah.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20Anything that could be used as evidence is put back in the car.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28It's more than four hours since the car came off the road

0:35:28 > 0:35:32and finally, it's loaded onto the truck.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35The police helicopter will continue to search the surrounding

0:35:35 > 0:35:38countryside for any signs of the missing passengers.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44So we have to know what happened next. Was there anyone in the car?

0:35:44 > 0:35:47Where do you go from there at that point? From our point of view,

0:35:47 > 0:35:51we then had to continue a search of the surrounding areas.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53I did that personally with my police dog

0:35:53 > 0:35:56to clear either side of the car because obviously,

0:35:56 > 0:35:58we know he came out one side but there's nothing to say

0:35:58 > 0:36:00somebody couldn't have come out the other side.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03Was anybody in the car with him? No. There was no-one else, luckily.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05And when did you find that out for sure? Next morning.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09My colleagues from the road policing unit in Sussex at Polegate

0:36:09 > 0:36:11went to the hospital to speak to him.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13He never directly admitted driving

0:36:13 > 0:36:15but he said he was the only person in the car.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18So how did it end up in the river, then?

0:36:18 > 0:36:20How did that car and he end up in the river?

0:36:20 > 0:36:22He was drink-driving. Right.

0:36:22 > 0:36:2590-degree bend, and he failed to negotiate the bend,

0:36:25 > 0:36:28straight through the fence into the river, where the car sunk.

0:36:28 > 0:36:29The first thing that came to my mind

0:36:29 > 0:36:33when my police dog found him and he came round and said,

0:36:33 > 0:36:35"Where's such and such?",

0:36:35 > 0:36:38my heart just sunk because now I'm thinking there's somebody

0:36:38 > 0:36:42in that car and the balloon went up, as we call it.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44So we had to go and have a look, had to do it.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46And people were going into the river.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48Weather conditions were terrible

0:36:48 > 0:36:50and it was cold at that time of year, wasn't it?

0:36:50 > 0:36:52So people going into the river, risking their lives?

0:36:52 > 0:36:55We spend a lot of time wasted in them sort of scenarios.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59We can save a lot of time and keep our emergency services on the road.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01Look, smashing work you're doing with your dog.

0:37:01 > 0:37:05Thanks for coming in and updating us. Thanks for having me.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08The driver of the car pleaded guilty to careless driving,

0:37:08 > 0:37:13driving while over the drink limit and driving with defective tyres.

0:37:13 > 0:37:18He was fined £165, ordered to pay £515 costs

0:37:18 > 0:37:20and banned from driving for 14 months.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26It turns out that Dr Morley, the ex-RAF chief medical officer

0:37:26 > 0:37:30who fell off his bike, was correct in his self-diagnosis.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34I think it's just the acromioclavicular joint.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37In other words, he had dislocated his shoulder from the collarbone.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43Throughout the programme we have been following events

0:37:43 > 0:37:46which triggered a dramatic 999 call.

0:37:46 > 0:37:4828-year-old David was rushed to hospital

0:37:48 > 0:37:50in Tyne and Wear after his heart stopped in the middle of the night.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53It was his partner Lynette who dialled the ambulance.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Lynette's CPR kept the blood pumping.

0:38:02 > 0:38:04The ambulance crew then took over,

0:38:04 > 0:38:06shocking him with a defibrillator,

0:38:06 > 0:38:08but as they arrived at the Royal Sunderland Hospital,

0:38:08 > 0:38:11his heart was still not working.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14I don't know how long it took to get to the hospital

0:38:14 > 0:38:16but it felt like a lifetime getting there.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18At the time we dropped David off,

0:38:18 > 0:38:23hand on heart, I don't think any of us expected him to live.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26He had been down a long time and he'd had a lot of shocks.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28They were waiting for us

0:38:28 > 0:38:33with a mechanical device called a thumper which does the CPR

0:38:33 > 0:38:37and basically, within minutes they had got a heart rate.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39His heart was working.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42Even though David's heart is beating again,

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Lynette's warned the outcome isn't looking good.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48His heart had been stopped about 17 minutes.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51So that's why they said he would definitely be braindead

0:38:51 > 0:38:55cos they say after four you've got some kind of brain damage.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59David is put into a coma and packed in ice to shut his body down.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02It will give his brain the best chance to recover.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05After 36 hours, they took the ice off his body

0:39:05 > 0:39:09and his body reheated itself and then they took the sedation off.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12Against all the odds, David has survived.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15He woke up and tried to assault the doctor

0:39:15 > 0:39:17and tell him to get out of his house!

0:39:17 > 0:39:19Last he knew he was in bed, so...

0:39:19 > 0:39:22I think it was four or five days later

0:39:22 > 0:39:26I actually happened to be in coronary care at the hospital,

0:39:26 > 0:39:29dropping off another patient,

0:39:29 > 0:39:32and I looked round and David's dad was there.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34I said, "How is David?"

0:39:34 > 0:39:38And he pointed and David just walked along the corridor

0:39:38 > 0:39:40and I was absolutely gobsmacked.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43Really quite shocked to see that David was up and about

0:39:43 > 0:39:46and walking only five days later.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Now back home with his family,

0:39:48 > 0:39:51David has amazed the medics with his recovery.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54It has been a quite quick recovery, like.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56For what happened,

0:39:56 > 0:39:59I'm surprised at how good I feel, you know what I mean?

0:39:59 > 0:40:02I feel all right at the minute. THEY LAUGH

0:40:03 > 0:40:07He has no memory of the night his heart stopped.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11I come home, got the bairns sorted and went to bed.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13I woke up at 12 o'clock in the night,

0:40:13 > 0:40:16gave the bairn a bottle and then after that, obviously,

0:40:16 > 0:40:19I went to sleep and that happened to us.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23And I can't remember...can't remember even being in no pain.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26It was just went to sleep and next thing you know,

0:40:26 > 0:40:28four days later I wake up in hospital

0:40:28 > 0:40:31with wires in us and everything and they says I could have come out

0:40:31 > 0:40:33and could have been disabled

0:40:33 > 0:40:36or not being able to speak, talk or anything

0:40:36 > 0:40:40and I've come out back to like how I was - normal.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Call handler Callum puts David's miracle survival

0:40:43 > 0:40:46down to Lynette's CPR skills.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49It helps that she has done a really good job

0:40:49 > 0:40:51and especially the fact that she got on straightaway.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53Some people are difficult when they come on the phone

0:40:53 > 0:40:56and you have to talk to them for five or six minutes

0:40:56 > 0:40:58before they listen to what you're saying and start.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00This lady came on and as soon as she was told what to do,

0:41:00 > 0:41:03she went off and did it and it was no problem whatsoever.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06I had the consultant come up to us in the hospital and shake my hand

0:41:06 > 0:41:08and say, "You saved his life."

0:41:08 > 0:41:10So I guess I did in a way.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13But if it wasn't for the paramedics and hospital staff,

0:41:13 > 0:41:16he wouldn't be here. You know what I mean?

0:41:16 > 0:41:18It was them that actually saved him and got him back.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20I could never thank them enough.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22He's one of the most fortunate guys I know.

0:41:22 > 0:41:26He had Lynette, he had us close.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28He was just very lucky.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30Although David has been given the all clear,

0:41:30 > 0:41:34doctors never discovered why his heart stopped beating.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37It's left him with an understandable worry.

0:41:37 > 0:41:42Since that happened, I'm a little bit wary of sleeping by myself.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44So, like, I always make sure that obviously...

0:41:44 > 0:41:47She lives with us, my girlfriend,

0:41:47 > 0:41:49so I make sure that she's with us all the time.

0:41:49 > 0:41:53Cos obviously, if it happened again, she'd be there to save us again.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Hopefully it doesn't but if she saved us once,

0:41:55 > 0:41:57she'll do it again if she can.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12Makes you think, doesn't it?

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Can you do CPR? Can your partner do CPR?

0:42:14 > 0:42:17If you want to go on a course you can ask your local GP,

0:42:17 > 0:42:20the British Heart Foundation will give you information

0:42:20 > 0:42:22and you can even get an app for your phone these days.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24But if push comes to shove,

0:42:24 > 0:42:26it's reassuring to know that if you dial 999,

0:42:26 > 0:42:30one of these call takers here will be able to guide you through it.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33That's it for today. We'll see you next time for more Real Rescues.
