01:31Terima kasih.
01:33Terima kasih.
01:35Terima kasih.
01:37Terima kasih.
01:39Terima kasih.
02:09These pilots are the climber's lifeline.
02:13Terima kasih.
02:15Terima kasih.
02:17Terima kasih.
02:21And Ryan Skarecki is just four weeks into his first season as an Everest telepilot.
02:26Ryan's just received an emergency call.
02:30A group of climbers are lost and in real danger.
02:32I'm going to go find nine Israelis.
02:35I was just given coordinates that cannot exist.
02:40So I'm going to guess at what I think they mean and go to those coordinates and see if there's nine people there waving.
02:49They need to go pick up a group of Israelis that is at this location that I've never heard of before and it's not on my GPS.
02:59Do I have their number?
03:01They have my number?
03:03Yes.
03:04And they're going to call you?
03:05They're going to call me?
03:05Yeah.
03:06Oh, I see.
03:06They'll call me if they see me.
03:08I don't know where I'm going.
03:09I wish I knew.
03:10I wish I knew.
03:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:12The lack of information adds another challenge.
03:15Two of the stranded climbers have altitude sickness.
03:21Their condition is critical.
03:24If left untreated, they could die.
03:28Okay, we're crossing the active, present position.
03:32Ryan suspects the climbers are in the Sum Valley, 60 miles north of Kathmandu.
03:39But at over 5,000 square miles, the valley is vast.
03:43And the only way Ryan can find them is by sight.
03:48I'll make sure we have the right coordinates.
03:49It's 28 degrees, 7.1.
03:52That is what I think they mean.
03:56I'm not even really certain that these are the right coordinates.
03:59This is like my best guess and it kind of makes sense, but it's unconfirmed.
04:04Ryan's coordinates place the climbers on an 8,000 foot mountain near the small village of Dun Che.
04:09At that height, the thin air can cause altitude sickness.
04:15Altitude sickness can kill you in hours.
04:18As climbers ascend, there's less and less oxygen, and they struggle to breathe.
04:31Left sick and at altitude, fluid can build in the lungs and brain, which can prove fatal.
04:38I should be right here.
04:45If the climbers can get through to Ryan by cell phone, they might stand a chance.
04:53Do I have cell service?
04:56I don't have cell service.
04:57That's going to make it easier for them to call me.
04:59If Ryan can't make contact, the critically ill climbers will be left to suffer in sub-zero temperatures.
05:08What to do, what to do.
05:10I'm trying to call me on the cell phone right now.
05:12I have one bar.
05:13Hello, hello, hello.
05:14Can you hear me?
05:16Hello?
05:19Hello, hello.
05:20Hello.
05:23Ah.
05:23Ah.
05:23Ninety miles east, Captain Jason Lang is at the helipad in Lupla, just 25 miles from Mount Everest.
05:42Local, it's the gateway to Everest.
05:44It's where everyone starts their trek on the way up to Everest Base Camp.
05:50Oi, Phil.
05:51Jason receives an urgent call from expedition leader Phil Crampton at Everest Base Camp.
05:58Look, this is Phil.
05:59Do you copy?
06:01One of his team members is extremely sick at Camp 4.
06:06And he sort of said that he won't last the night.
06:08So he may die.
06:11Altitude sickness, serious.
06:14Camp 4 is at 26,000 feet above sea level.
06:17It's one of the most hostile places on the planet.
06:23Because there is very little oxygen at Camp 4 and above, almost all deaths on Everest occur here.
06:31Climbers call this the death zone.
06:34If you're at Camp 4 and you do get very sick, you are a long way from health at that stage.
06:44You're racing against time there.
06:47To plan the rescue, Jason needs to know the exact location of the injured American climber.
06:52Whereabouts?
06:56Oh, my God.
06:57Okay.
06:58All right.
06:59Yeah.
07:00Keep it.
07:017,720.
07:027,720, 25,500.
07:07That's too high.
07:08That's too high.
07:09I'll never be able to hover there.
07:11Everest pilots like Jason fly the B3E, a single-engine heli specifically engineered for high-altitude performance.
07:22But in this thin air, even the B3 struggles to generate enough power as it nears its official ceiling of 23,000 feet.
07:31At over 26,000 feet, Camp 4 is out of Jason's reach.
07:38It's just far too high.
07:40The air's too thin up there.
07:42It's unstable for the helicopter.
07:47Jason advises moving Robert, the injured climber, down to Camp 2.
07:52It's a treacherous journey.
07:53But at 4,000 feet lower, just about reachable by Jason and his heli.
07:58Keep bringing them down.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Okay.
08:05Okay.
08:05Thanks.
08:06Bye.
08:06Bye-bye.
08:07Bye.
08:12Jason scrambles the team to strip down the helicopter.
08:16At the highest altitudes, air pressure is so reduced that the rotor blades struggle to achieve lift.
08:23I think we're going to end up taking the seats out.
08:26The lighter the heli, the higher it can climb.
08:31Front seat, back seat, and the floor.
08:42Jason is finally ready to go.
08:44But there's a problem.
08:46Den's fog is rolling into the valley, engulfing the helipad.
08:50It's crazy.
08:54Weather systems develop in front of you.
08:58If you see fog forming, it's extremely dangerous.
09:04The local Napalis call it the dragon breath.
09:09The dragon breath has started.
09:11The weather here, and all the way out in the valley, is terrible.
09:17I can only see about 20 meters here.
09:20The fog means Jason must abandon the rescue until morning.
09:25The dragon's breath may have just cost Robert his life.
09:29Let's hope I can do this, camp two, in the morning early.
09:36That was tough.
09:38It must be a very terrifying situation to be in for the climber.
09:43Let's hope he survives the night.
09:46Yeah, gut-wrenching.
09:47Ninety miles west, in the Sun Valley, Ryan is on the hunt for nine Israeli climbers stuck at 8,000 feet.
10:03Two of them have life-threatening altitude sickness.
10:07Ninety-ma-delta, got from the approach, report, petition.
10:10Ninety-ma-delta, apologies.
10:12I'm 27 DME, northwest Kathmandu, circling, trying to find this party for this rescue, but there's a cloud over them.
10:20I'm in the vicinity.
10:22As I get close to the coordinates, there's a cloud just sitting there.
10:27It was beautiful everywhere except for where they were.
10:31The coordinates are in this cloud.
10:34Without a clear line of sight, rescue isn't possible.
10:42Now, unfortunately, we need to go this way, where the biggest buildup of clouds is.
10:51If you get into a cloud, by the time you see the mountain, it's right before you hit the mountain.
10:59With fuel running low, Ryan's forced to make an agonizing decision.
11:03If he can't locate the climbers soon, he'll have to abort the rescue.
11:09You're sent there to try and help somebody out, and then if you have a problem, then not only did you not help that person out, but now you've created an even bigger problem.
11:19And I'm in the middle of the day, I cannot find this rescue party.
11:22So returning to Kathmandu at this time, currently 25 DME, northwest, 1,2500 descending.
11:29As soon as Ryan touches down in Kathmandu, the stranded climbers make contact.
11:37You actually could see me.
11:39And was I directly above you?
11:43I said that I flew directly over them twice.
11:46That makes me want to go.
11:48And he says he has two very sick people that need to come down.
11:52Sunset is an hour and a half.
11:55Time is of the essence, and we're racing against sunset.
11:58Ryan is dead set on another attempt, but visibility is only getting worse.
12:04To take off in these conditions this late in the day, he needs clearance.
12:09You want me to try tomorrow morning?
12:15Okay.
12:16All right.
12:16I'll, uh, if they call me back, I'll tell them that.
12:20Tomorrow morning.
12:21With light fading fast, it's just too dangerous to fly.
12:26Now, two climbers suffering from life-threatening altitude sickness have to make it through the
12:35night at 8,000 feet in sub-zero temperatures.
12:38I hope I'm not misjudging this, and, and then I go to get them tomorrow when someone has died.
12:46Both parts of India are settling in, what, 4 to 47 degrees.
12:55As the planet heats up, Asia stands at a turning point.
13:00There are no ready solutions, especially for developing society.
13:03From energy conflicts.
13:05If it blows up, we'll eat us alive.
13:07To climate extremes.
13:09The sense of danger is there.
13:10Come stories forged in struggle.
13:14Shaped by strength.
13:16World Environment Day Specials starts 5th June on Discovery Asia.
13:21I'm Sung Kang.
13:23You may know me from the Fast and Furious.
13:25Cars are a gateway into diverse and often overlooked cultures.
13:29Connecting exciting communities and people.
13:32So this is my dream job, taking you on a global road trip to see how cars are changing our world
13:40and making all of us a little better.
13:43Oh.
13:45The Right Life with Sung Kang.
13:48Tuesdays on Discovery Asia.
13:51This family-owned bridal store has grown larger than life.
13:55It's always been my dream to open a second location.
13:58Why don't people don't show up?
14:00Can the family manage the flagship store?
14:02We're overworked, but it's work that we want to put in.
14:05War.
14:06While opening a second boutique.
14:08I've got a huge problem.
14:09Oh, no.
14:10Yes.
14:12Less is more.
14:14The more is more.
14:17Bollywed.
14:18Saturdays on Discovery Asia.
14:21In the Sea of Taiwan.
14:25Seven celebrities.
14:28Four and two teams.
14:30To take part in one Wet n' Wild competition.
14:36Emotions will swell.
14:37Spirits may break.
14:39Who will paddle their way to victory?
14:44Watch it.
14:44Watch it.
14:45Watch it.
14:46Do big things.
14:47Let's go kayaking.
14:49Fridays on Discovery Asia.
14:51Five a.m.
14:59Luke LaHelipad.
15:01I'll try to ring him.
15:03Try to give him a call.
15:05Everest pilot Jason Lang prepares to resume the rescue of Robert Kaye, an American climber suffering from severe altitude sickness high on Mount Everest.
15:14This is Phil.
15:15Do you copy?
15:16Heavy fog forced Jason to abort his last attempt.
15:21Robert made it through the night, but his condition is deteriorating.
15:26He could be dead within the hour if Jason can't get through.
15:30With the altitude sickness, you're racing against time there.
15:34And sometimes we'll go in to pick someone up the next day and they'll be dead.
15:39Do I have a sign base gun?
15:44Do you copy?
15:45Yeah.
15:45Morning, Phil.
15:46We should be able to get through Thereseh and go and get your guy.
15:49Okay.
15:50I'm having him at the half pad with some sherpas at 6 a.m.
15:54and then going to look at the medical treatment over.
16:01Overnight, teams on the mountain heroically dragged Robert down to a lower altitude.
16:07He's almost at Camp 2 at 21,000 feet, just within Jason's reach.
16:14We've got to go.
16:15Let's go.
16:16Let's go.
16:17Okay.
16:18The rescue is on.
16:24Landing at Camp 2, we are working at the extreme limits there that the helicopter will let us.
16:38Up to EBC Camp 2.
16:41I have one hour fuel.
16:45You know, the helicopter's there flying the highest altitudes in the world.
16:51Things really start getting tricky above those altitudes.
16:54Okay, that's on, oxygen's on.
17:00The weather's not helping, eh?
17:02No.
17:02It's going to be a crazy day, huh?
17:05Oh.
17:0985 miles west in Kathmandu, Ryan resumes his rescue attempt.
17:15The Israeli climbers he's trying to reach have now spent the night on a remote mount exposed to sub-zero temperatures.
17:22We are going to try and go get the nine people that I tried to get yesterday that I couldn't get because they were in a cloud.
17:34Ryan has no idea if the two sickest climbers even survived the night.
17:39People are in a desperate situation up there.
17:53It would be better to just get everyone out of there as fast as possible.
17:56Estimating at, uh, 0-1, 1-0.
18:05This is where I was yesterday.
18:08Unfortunately, from right here, there is still a cloud.
18:11Ryan finally gets a break in the clouds.
18:29He spots the climbers and can attempt a rescue.
18:31Yeah, it was really close to yesterday.
18:35Very close.
18:37So, let's see what we got to land in here.
18:44Okay.
18:45Now we're on the ground.
18:48What do you think that could do it, sir?
18:50Um, okay.
18:51Okay?
18:52Okay.
18:53Ryan must act fast.
18:54The only cure for altitude sickness is to get the two climbers down.
19:00We're returning to Kathmandu for this is a rescue flight because the weather is closing in.
19:05Alibadalta is lifting from vicinity rib chat.
19:10Altitude sickness can kill you in hours.
19:14Just because someone doesn't look like they're near death, you know, it doesn't mean they're not.
19:24When the chopper came and he couldn't land because of the some bad weather, we felt very frustrated and we lost hope.
19:47So, when we heard the chopper, it was a great, it sounds like a great symphony.
19:54Take somebody off the mountain that really needs to get off the mountain or they're going to die.
20:00It does feel good.
20:0585 miles east, Jason approaches Mount Everest.
20:09He's attempting to rescue Robert Kay, a critically ill American climber, from Camp 2.
20:1885 miles east, Jason approaches Mount Everest.
20:21He's attempting to rescue Robert Kay, a critically ill American climber, from Camp 2.
20:28Oh, we've had lots of problems trying to organize this Camp 2 rescue.
20:34To save Robert's life, Jason has to land at 21,000 feet, the highest landing site on Earth.
20:42Only the most skilled helicopter pilots can land in these treacherous conditions.
20:47The weather doesn't look too good.
20:52You've got a million things going through your mind.
20:54That cloud there is forming there and the wind direction, how strong it is.
20:59At Camp 2, is the weather getting worse or better?
21:03Robert's condition is deteriorating.
21:06If Jason can't land at Camp 2, he will die.
21:09Any strong winds could push you out of control.
21:15I would certainly hope it wouldn't get that bad.
21:18It's closed now, but it will open.
21:20Okay.
21:21As Jason climbs higher, his worst fears are realized.
21:26Winds are picking up, and at 21,000 feet, this could prove disastrous.
21:31All stations, Niner, Julian, Zulu.
21:50We've all kept it.
21:58Yep, camp there.
21:59There has been times at Camp 2.
22:09Wind changing direction all the time, gusting from above and below.
22:15It's not a good place to be.
22:17The wind gets too strong.
22:19It's also a hard landing area.
22:22It's very slippery.
22:23On short approach and touchdown, if you get a gust of wind from the side, the helicopter will roll over.
22:33You have to be very careful about that.
22:34Jason's only 40 feet off the ground, but the wind's becoming increasingly erratic.
22:43Gusts blow snow toward the only place Jason can land.
22:46The problem is, with a lot of fresh snow in there, that becomes extremely dangerous.
22:55You have to be very precise where you land up there.
22:58If there was a failure, who wouldn't be very pretty at the end?
23:07At 21,000 feet, Jason attempts a rescue at the world's highest landing point, Mount Everest's Camp 2.
23:24Jason has been trying to rescue Robert K. for 24 hours.
23:44Finally, the critically ill climber is on board.
23:50In all stations, Diner, Juliet, it's all on Camp 2.
23:54Andrew on this one.
23:55But Robert's not out of the woods yet.
23:59Fluid is rapidly filling his lungs, slowly drowning him.
24:03A condition known as HAPE, or high-altitude pulmonary edema.
24:07Robert's survival depends on Jason.
24:10Okay, I have Robert, and we're going to Lukla Hospital.
24:18Yes, sir.
24:19Okay.
24:20It's been a very messy rescue.
24:23Yeah, I affirm, I have Robert.
24:26Thank you very much. That's an awesome job. Thank you, Jason.
24:30Roger.
24:31Let's get stuck in the...
24:32Go straight Lukla to the hospital with this guy.
24:35He did say to me a couple of times that he thought he was a goner at Camp 4.
24:41He really believed that this is it. I'm going to die.
24:44Two days ago, I thought I was dead. In fact, I think I did die briefly.
24:51They brought me back.
24:55Hapen coming down from the summit.
24:59I think there's a lot of sick people at the moment up there, right?
25:03We heard two or three of me have died, but there's no confirmation.
25:06Yeah.
25:09I thought I was dead for sure.
25:10In Lukla, Ryan takes another emergency call.
25:20Ben Darlington, an Australian climber, is suffering from severe frostbite.
25:27Okay, Phil, so we should be there in probably, realistically, 25 to 30 minutes.
25:32We just need to get this person with frostbite down from EBC.
25:35People with frostbite in places without oxygen do far worse.
25:40Frostbite is time-critical.
25:42It's an irreversible process that any surgeon on this planet cannot correct.
25:48People may end up losing part of their finger or foot, and that may change their life.
25:53Don't take him to ferrushate. Bring him here.
25:56Lima Delta's ready for departure.
26:04All right, Lima Delta's set course to 9,000 climbing.
26:06Ryan heads up to base camp at 17,500 feet, where oxygen levels are less than half that of sea level.
26:28Without his own supply of oxygen, Ryan would become yet another victim of altitude sickness.
26:33We're flying these helicopters that are not pressurized.
26:50So as we go higher and higher, it's not enough time for our bodies to acclimatize.
26:55So we have to have supplemental oxygen, or else we would run into a host of problems, like altitude sickness.
27:01This family-owned bridal store has grown larger than life.
27:07It's always been my dream to open a second location.
27:10Why do people don't show up?
27:12Can the family manage the flagship store?
27:14We're overworked, but it's work that we want to put in.
27:18While opening a second boutique?
27:20I've got a huge problem.
27:24Less is more.
27:25The more is more.
27:27Baliwad, Saturdays on Discovery Asia.
27:33Both parts of India are settling in more than 4 to 47 degrees.
27:37As the planet heats up, Asia stands at a turning point.
27:42There are no ready solutions, especially for developing society.
27:45From energy conflicts...
27:47If it blows up, we'll eat us alive.
27:49To climate extremes...
27:51The sense of danger is there.
27:52Come stories forged in struggle, shaped by strength.
27:58World Environment Day Specials starts 5th June on Discovery Asia.
28:04We're flying these helicopters that are not pressurized.
28:07So as we go higher and higher, it's not enough time for our bodies to acclimatize.
28:11So we have to have supplemental oxygen, or else we would run into a host of problems, like altitude sickness.
28:23Yeah, I got it set at 4 liters a minute. Nothing's happening.
28:26Are you sure the main valve's on?
28:27On.
28:30Yeah.
28:30On?
28:31Nothing, nothing.
28:31A broken oxygen supply means Ryan can't fly higher without risking his own life.
28:38What is going on?
28:40You gave me one shot.
28:43Ah, damn it.
28:45Back down in Lukla, 38-year-old Swiss pilot, Lorenz Neuffer, is the latest to join the rescue team.
29:04That's the boy's dream.
29:06Playing around with toys and gadgets and sitting in a helicopter, what else?
29:12Before coming to Nepal, Lorenz flew rescue missions in the Swiss Alps.
29:17Challenging, but nothing compared to Everest.
29:20In Switzerland, the highest peak you can land is still a lot lower than in Nepal.
29:27Lukla from Main Limit Alta.
29:28Ready for takeoff.
29:31Force, clear around 824, Main Limit Alta.
29:36Lorenz is on his way to Chukong, a remote village at nearly 16,000 feet.
29:42The highest he's ever flown.
29:44But the altitude won't be the only first today.
29:50The first time you have to go to get a dead body, I thought, boom.
29:56Well, I don't know how it will feel.
30:00Body recovery comes with the job.
30:02But no one knows the story behind this death.
30:07You have these mountains and a lot of people who would like to experience the power of these mountains.
30:15It is very challenging.
30:16It's very dangerous.
30:17It's not a piece of cake.
30:18Well, it's probably first land and then care about our cargo.
30:28At 16,000 feet, thin air means Lorenz must constantly calculate weight, fuel and wind speeds to make a safe landing.
30:36If you go really high up, the machine is closer to the limit.
30:46You have to calculate, is it possible, numbers-wise, that my machine is capable of landing there and taking off again with the weight?
30:58At three miles above sea level, this is Lorenz's highest landing.
31:08But his mission has only just begun.
31:11Lorenz can't shut down.
31:31At this altitude, he risks the engine not starting up again.
31:34If you can't take off anymore, you might be in a very dangerous position because if I have to spend the night there, I'm not acclimatized, so that would be very dangerous.
31:47Lorenz has one tank of oxygen to keep him alive.
31:51It's fed through tubing into his nose.
31:53At this altitude, he can't afford to run out.
31:58The use of oxygen was new for me.
32:00I've never used oxygen before, so I didn't know how it will be.
32:07If he stays on the ground too long, he'll fall victim to altitude sickness.
32:14Okay, they're putting the dead body inside.
32:17In these conditions, Lorenz has a maximum weight limit of three passengers, including the dead body.
32:24It's not a bus where you can squeeze in 20 people and three on the roof.
32:39Always dealing, dealing, dealing.
32:41It may sound a little bit cold, but I try to be as rational as I can, because my task is to fly the machine.
32:53Go!
32:54I should not create a second emergency out of a first one.
32:59Go!
33:00Two people!
33:02One body!
33:03Finish!
33:03With every second and every breath of oxygen, Lorenz's line is at greater risk.
33:10Holy cow, this is a lot of bargaining.
33:14Okay, close the door.
33:18At 16,000 feet, it's the highest he's ever landed.
33:24The altitude also puts severe limits on the payload he can carry.
33:28If the helicopter is too heavy, Lorenz won't be able to take off.
33:43He'll be stuck, unacclimatized, with a limited supply of oxygen.
33:47Go!
33:48Two people!
33:50One body!
33:51Finish!
33:52I'm very far from home.
33:54I'm in a country which I don't know that much.
33:57I'm at an altitude where I have no reference how the machine actually feels.
34:04So I want to have some margin.
34:06Damn it!
34:08Why are they not getting it?
34:10Go!
34:11What, that body?
34:12Two people!
34:14Finally, Lorenz can safely take off.
34:17I'm Sung Kang.
34:33You may know me from the Fast and Furious.
34:36Cars are a gateway into diverse and often overlooked cultures.
34:41Connecting exciting communities and people.
34:43So this is my dream job, taking you on a global road trip to see how cars are changing our world
34:51and making all of us a little better.
34:53The Right Life with Sung Kang.
34:59Tuesdays on Discovery Asia.
35:02Travel through Asia to the heart of tradition and craftsmanship.
35:07Each beautifully handcrafted masterpiece tells a story of culture, history, and heritage.
35:16More than people.
35:19More than art.
35:21It's the soul of Asia.
35:27Handmade in Asia.
35:29Wednesdays on Discovery Asia.
35:32This family-owned bridal store has grown larger than life.
35:36It's always been my dream to open a second location.
35:39Why do people don't show up?
35:41Can the family manage the flagship store?
35:43We're overworked, but it's work that we want to put in.
35:46War.
35:47While opening a second boutique.
35:49I've got a huge problem.
35:50Oh, no!
35:51Yes!
35:53Less is more.
35:55The more is more.
35:58Bollywed.
35:59Saturdays on Discovery Asia.
36:01Both parts of India are settling in what?
36:054 to 47 degrees.
36:06As the planet heats up,
36:08Asia stands at a turning point.
36:11There are no ready solutions,
36:12especially for developing society.
36:14From energy conflicts.
36:16If it blows up,
36:17it will eat us alive.
36:18To climate extremes.
36:20The sense of danger is there.
36:21Come stories forged in struggle,
36:25shaped by strength.
36:26World Environment Day specials
36:29Starts 5th June
36:30on Discovery Asia.
36:32You're always confronted with your own mortality,
36:58especially if you carry a dead body,
37:00and especially if you're not used to that.
37:04It made me think
37:05people die here.
37:09Next base 06,
37:118-pound load is a
37:13one dead body.
37:21Just five miles away,
37:24Jason races to get Robert,
37:26a critically ill climber,
37:27to the hospital in Lupla.
37:30Amazing machine.
37:34Yeah, they are good.
37:35They're a lot safer.
37:37Yeah.
37:38Yeah, for me today.
37:44I remember,
37:45even though I was in kind of a fog at that point,
37:48clearly thinking to myself,
37:50this is it.
37:51I was just thinking of my wife and children,
37:55and then I finally got to that situation
37:58where I'm dying in the next few seconds.
38:01It just became a fact.
38:04I honestly almost didn't care.
38:07It's like,
38:08okay,
38:08the pain's going to stop.
38:09It's like seeing the cavalry coming,
38:15you know,
38:15it's like,
38:16boy,
38:16I'm going to make it.
38:17This guy's here.
38:19Jason is quite likely
38:21the best helicopter pilot
38:23in Nepal.
38:24When the crazy rescue has to happen,
38:26he's the guy.
38:27And if anybody in the fall
38:30can get me down,
38:31it's him from camp two.
38:33And it was thrilling to see Jason.
38:35I'm going to get you up into the hospital.
38:52Robert was clearly critically ill.
38:55Here's a man who's got
38:56an exceptional climbing history.
38:58He's a strong mountaineer,
38:59and he's done a lot
39:00of the world's highest peaks already.
39:02He summited Everest,
39:03but on the way down,
39:05he fell foul to Hape.
39:07Robert,
39:08let's get you to the emergency room.
39:11Hape is high-altitude pulmonary edema,
39:13and with that,
39:14it's flooding of the lungs with fluid.
39:17It's the equivalent of drowning.
39:20So you summited this warning yesterday.
39:22Two days ago.
39:22Two days ago.
39:23And had no trouble going up.
39:27Yeah.
39:28But at the back,
39:29he'll be coming down.
39:30In the back of your mind,
39:31you're always thinking,
39:32will he survive?
39:34When I got to the summit,
39:36it was euphoria.
39:38Took a bunch of photographs,
39:41congratulated each other,
39:43a lot of hugs,
39:44a lot of tears.
39:46And then we took off down
39:48for the bottom.
39:50Just put this on your fingers.
39:52Roughly two hours later,
39:53I just couldn't breathe.
39:54It felt like I was trying
39:55to breathe through
39:56a long garden hose.
39:58Now, you breathe as hard as you can,
39:59and nothing's coming from it.
40:02Sorry.
40:04Breathe as you can,
40:06just normally.
40:08Altitude illness,
40:09you know that if it's bad,
40:11it may be fatal.
40:12Oxygen's massively important to life,
40:21and as you go higher,
40:23it runs out.
40:25It comes down to something
40:26called VO2 max,
40:27which is how your heart
40:28and lungs communicate,
40:30taking in the oxygen in the air
40:31and getting it through
40:32to your brain,
40:33to the muscles
40:34that are needed
40:35to get you to the summit.
40:37Most people are not able
40:38to deal with the lower
40:39amounts of oxygen
40:41above 8,000 meters,
40:42which is known
40:43as a death zone.
40:44And it's known
40:44as a death zone
40:45for exactly that reason.
40:47Some people will die.
40:53I thought I was going
40:54to die right there.
40:57It takes a huge team
40:59to save a life.
41:00Six people dragged me
41:02into the tent.
41:04Ben Darlington,
41:05one of the climbers
41:06that helped keep Robert alive
41:08overnight is now
41:10in grave danger himself.
41:12Ben is at Everest Base Camp,
41:14suffering from frostbite
41:15so severe
41:16he might lose his feet.
41:21Okay, this has to happen
41:22right now.
41:24Rescue pilot Ryan Skarecki
41:26has been forced
41:27to make an emergency landing
41:28midway through a rescue attempt.
41:30His oxygen supply has failed.
41:33Without it,
41:34he could experience signs
41:35of altitude sickness
41:36within minutes.
41:39He can't reach
41:40severe frostbite victim
41:41Ben Darlington,
41:42who's waiting for him
41:44at Everest Base Camp.
41:49That device
41:50kind of sits right
41:51above my head,
41:53pushing oxygen
41:53into your nose.
41:55When I take a breath,
41:56I can hear it click
41:58and I hear the pshh.
41:59If you take a breath
42:00and you don't hear
42:01or feel that burst of air,
42:02then you know
42:03something's wrong.
42:05Working?
42:06Yeah.
42:06Yeah.
42:06Working frantically,
42:08Ryan and his rescue
42:09coordinator,
42:10Lachba,
42:10try to get the oxygen
42:12back online.
42:13I just turned it on
42:14to the light
42:14and it's flashing green,
42:16which means
42:16the battery's good.
42:18Okay.
42:19Now we're in action.
42:20How about it, Phil?
42:34Copy 90 Delta.
42:35Up at Base Camp,
42:37Expedition Leader
42:38Phil Crampton
42:39coordinates his second
42:40life-saving rescue
42:41in the last 24 hours.
42:44Up at Base Camp,
42:51Expedition Leader
42:52Phil Crampton
42:52coordinates his second
42:54life-saving rescue
42:55in the last 24 hours.
43:04Around the front
43:05to the chopper.
43:06Got the back.
43:07In the front.
43:08Ben has acute frostbite
43:10in both feet
43:11from the successful effort
43:12to keep fellow climber
43:13Robert alive.
43:17Take you straight
43:18to the nuclear hospital,
43:19okay?
43:27Where are you from?
43:29Australia.
43:30Oh, yeah.
43:30That was impressive.
43:31Unless he told you,
43:32you would have no idea
43:33that anything was wrong
43:34with him.
43:34I mean,
43:34he was talking like normal,
43:36just like we are now.
43:37So we're lying in the tent
43:38and our climbing star
43:40comes over and says,
43:41oh, there's something
43:41wrong with Robert.
43:42No, I've only got
43:44the main units
43:44of my boots on.
43:45Right.
43:46I go out
43:46and he's within 10 minutes
43:49of being dead.
43:51But he's really hypothermic
43:52and I'm trying to warm
43:53his core up.
43:54My feet are under his
43:55under his sort of body.
43:58Right.
43:58Because the mats
43:59aren't that great up there.
44:00Yeah, yeah.
44:01The reason his feet
44:03got cold is because
44:03he was putting his feet
44:04underneath the other guy
44:05to keep the other guy warm.
44:07He was in and out
44:08of consciousness
44:09the whole night.
44:10Yeah.
44:10And then, uh,
44:12the next morning,
44:14I knew my feet
44:15were getting cold,
44:16but what are you doing?
44:17Someone's holding their head
44:18up to keep them alive, right?
44:20Right.
44:20Shooting them up.
44:21and then the next morning,
44:23me, the sun
44:24got him down to camp too.
44:27Which was a long day.
44:28I knew I had phosphorite.
44:30Yeah.
44:30And then, um,
44:31so I just left my boots on.
44:32Yeah.
44:33And then he came down
44:33to base camp yesterday.
44:35Walking on frozen feet.
44:37Well, what do you do?
44:38Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:39It's life, isn't it?
44:41Yeah.
44:41Well, you threw yourself
44:42on a grenade for that one.
44:43Kudos to you.
44:45Part of it, I guess.
44:46Lima Delta is a long left base
44:48for the hospital.
44:489,500.
44:49Everybody wants to think
44:52that they would be so noble,
44:53you know?
44:54I would like to think
44:55that I would.
45:13So, Robert came through here
45:15and he's made a full recovery
45:17and gone on to Katmandu.
45:18It's amazing.
45:20Ben saved Robert's life.
45:22And unfortunately,
45:23at what cost?
45:25What we don't want to do
45:26is get them damaged
45:28or infected.
45:29So we'll roll everything
45:30up and away, okay?
45:31Yeah.
45:32Right.
45:33Did they get cold
45:34after you had done the damage?
45:36No.
45:37Brilliant.
45:37I made sure that
45:38I kept the boots on.
45:40Okay.
45:41So this one's not bad.
45:43Looks a bit white,
45:43doesn't it?
45:44Yeah.
45:44But it's Ben's other foot
45:47that's the real cause
45:49for concern.
45:50It's nice and slow.
45:53Yeah, got it.
45:55Okay.
45:57Well, it's gone a little black
45:58and you've got,
46:00probably had some bleeding
46:01under the toe maybe.
46:03The frostbite is time critical.
46:04For Ben,
46:05he has spent two days
46:07walking on top
46:07of severely frostbitten feet.
46:10Have you re-warmed it
46:11in water already?
46:12No.
46:12Okay, so we need to...
46:13We've massaged the blood through.
46:15Yeah.
46:15Many people don't understand
46:17that you can actually
46:17be burnt by the cold
46:19in the same way
46:20as if you put your hand
46:21in a fire
46:22and get burnt by the heat
46:23that you can be burnt
46:25by the cold
46:26and that's called cold injury.
46:27So I'll send
46:28the CWAC clinic forward
46:29some images
46:30so they know
46:31you're still within two days
46:32which is good
46:33so they can prep
46:34to see whether or not
46:36you may need
46:36additional treatment.
46:38Yeah.
46:38Frostbite is where the water
46:39inside your cells
46:41freezes
46:42and with that
46:43it expands
46:44in the same way
46:45as when you put
46:46ice cubes in your freezer
46:47as water
46:48the water
46:49becomes ice
46:50and freezes
46:51it expands.
46:52The unfortunate thing is
46:53when water
46:54becomes ice
46:56inside your cells
46:57that expansion
46:58breaks open
46:59the cell membranes.
47:01That's to say
47:01the tissue
47:02starts to self-destruct.
47:04So they may give you
47:06a drug to try
47:06and push through the blood
47:07but that's their choice.
47:09Yeah.
47:09Certainly with this type
47:10of injury
47:10they would consider it
47:11Yeah.
47:12but I can't tell you
47:13whether or not
47:14they're going to do that
47:14so I'll give them a call
47:15send the images
47:16take some images
47:17we'll get it cleaned up
47:18re-warmed
47:19and re-packed
47:20and you package
47:21for Kathmandu
47:22Yeah.
47:22Okay?
47:23Yeah.
47:23The uterus.
47:24But there's significant damage
47:25there you can see
47:26he's kept his foot
47:27in a plastic bag
47:28which although
47:29keeps it clean
47:30you know
47:31doesn't allow him to breathe
47:32can you feel the ends
47:34of your toes?
47:34Not really.
47:36The underlying injury
47:38is pretty severe
47:39most likely
47:40he's going to lose
47:41to the ends
47:41of his right foot
47:42there.
47:56That's Lukla
47:57when I first
47:58came off the mountain
48:00so they're quite black there
48:03and I think
48:03as it goes on
48:04there's definitely
48:06colour coming back
48:08into the
48:08to the big toe
48:10but
48:10it's just life
48:12huh?
48:13It's just the way
48:14it goes.
48:20Ben kept me awake
48:21and warm
48:22and alive
48:22during the night
48:23and Ben
48:24walked me down
48:26to camp too.
48:28I saw the pictures
48:29of his feet
48:30I was like
48:31whoa
48:31that's impressive.
48:35There is no question
48:36extremely grateful
48:37to every one of them.
48:49Take the bags out!
48:51Ryan faces a crisis
48:52at 21,000 feet.
48:55This has to happen
48:56right now
48:56right now.
48:57Jason pushes the limits
48:59to save a critically ill climber.
49:01You have to get
49:02this person down
49:03because your brain
49:04just will not tolerate
49:06being squashed
49:06for any length of time.
49:09It can be
49:09catastrophic
49:10very quickly.
49:12And Andy
49:12faces a terrifying
49:14blackout.
49:15And Andy
49:16will be a good
49:16turn up.
49:17This family owned
49:18bridal store
49:19has grown
49:20larger than life.
49:21It's always been
49:22my dream
49:22to open a second
49:23location.
49:24Why do people
49:25don't show up?
49:26Can the family
49:26manage the flagship store?
49:28We're overworked
49:29but it's work
49:30that we want to put in.
49:31while opening
49:33a second boutique.
49:34I've got a huge problem.
49:38Less is more.
49:40The more
49:40is more.
49:41baliwad
49:43Saturdays
49:45on Discovery Asia.
49:47Both parts of India
49:48are settling
49:49in more than 4 to 47 degrees.
49:51As the planet heats up,
49:53Asia
49:53stands at a turning point.
49:56There are no
49:56ready solutions
49:57especially for
