00:00Theおルビーのむかつ
00:05Sabe na ng iba manacawan ka na wag lang masunuga.
00:08Sa sulog kasi mas pwedeng mawala ang lahat sayo.
00:12Yan, ang takot na mga nakatira
00:14sa isang bayan sa tabi ng kagubata.
00:16Ang kanilang one hell of experience alamin natin sa kwento amazing number 5.
00:21Isang araw sa inferno.
00:25Ang kalikasan nagbibigay buhay at nakamamatay.
00:28The tornado has touched down.
00:36The windows all blew out.
00:42It was the end.
00:58I've been fighting to burn hair.
01:00I'm going to see if they can still make it.
01:04I've lost my house.
01:08Oh my God, get out!
01:24Oh my God, leave that!
01:29In 2015, in Adelaide, South Australia,
01:33a huge bushfire engulfed the residential area with hundreds of houses.
01:39Ben Wilson, a 25-year-old volunteer firefighter,
01:43was the first to face such a huge bushfire.
01:46Ben was one of the 50 teams sent to evacuate a house.
01:51They couldn't help but panic.
01:54The area was quickly engulfed by fire.
01:56They brought 500 gallons of water,
01:59but they needed 25,000 gallons to put out the fire.
02:04Peter and Vera, who are tourists on road trips to Australia,
02:08spent several hours in Adelaide.
02:10They were amazed at what they saw.
02:12It caught their attention.
02:14They didn't know what to do because they had just seen a bushfire.
02:18The fire spread over a 30-mile area.
02:22The two were clueless as to where it was.
02:26So Peter and Vera closed the windows of the car so that they wouldn't suffocate.
02:31Every cell phone in the area received emergency text messages.
02:35One of them was Phil Westbury.
02:38He was on his way home from their house 40 kilometers away.
02:45Phil has a horse breeding farm and he left 10 animals there.
02:50His neighbor, Tony Salvatore, and his mother are still at home.
02:54Tony asked his mother to leave if he was ready.
02:59But the Guardian Horses weren't strong enough to fight this huge fire.
03:04They needed to survive.
03:06That's why Bami was sent by Tony.
03:09When Phil arrived at their house,
03:17Phil tried to put out the fire and save the family from the fire.
03:25He had been trying to put out the fire for an hour but there was still no fire.
03:32Even the shed next to their house was engulfed in flames.
03:37The heat was too intense.
03:44Together with the strike team, Ben tried to put out the fire.
03:48But it was too hot for them.
03:51It had been burning for almost half an hour.
03:55But they had a bigger problem.
04:01The fire was put out quickly but their water was running out.
04:10They noticed that the owner of the house had an old tank.
04:14But they didn't have a pump to pump the water.
04:18The firefighters were not used to running out of water.
04:21Peter and Vera just realized that their house was on fire.
04:26They didn't know that it was approaching 30 miles per hour.
04:29They noticed that the car behind them wasn't moving.
04:33So Vera wanted to talk to them about what they should do.
04:38Peter and Vera saw a white pickup truck coming from the other lane.
04:43It was coming out of the thick smoke in front of them.
04:46The driver told them to turn around because the fire was approaching them.
04:52They maneuvered and brought the driver.
04:55But the fire was too big.
04:57They were trapped in the thick smoke of the bushfire.
05:00Peter was panicking.
05:02How could they get out of there?
05:05It was too hot inside the car but they couldn't open the windows
05:09because the smoke was coming inside.
05:13The car started spluttering.
05:17It was the end.
05:20Ben's team ran out of time to set up another water pump.
05:25They managed to save the house but the fire was still spreading.
05:31That's why more people were in danger.
05:33Peter and Vera were far away from the raging fire.
05:37Their car was full of smoke.
05:40Vera turned on the radio and the calm voice of a woman was echoing in their ears.
05:51Because of the heat, the fire was spreading.
05:54It was like their car was about to explode.
05:56Bad news, there was an attack on the radio.
05:58It was a deadly bushfire.
06:00Will Peter and Vera be able to escape?
06:02They lost hope.
06:04It's a good thing they have a guide.
06:10They continued to watch the bushfire
06:13until they started to see different colors around them.
06:17If they weren't alert and if they didn't speed up,
06:21they would have been burned to death.
06:23The bushfire ended in Adelaide in 2015.
06:27Many houses were destroyed.
06:29Two people died.
06:3170,000 farm animals were burned.
06:34Four of Phil's horses were killed.
06:36Only the car's steel was left.
06:41His house seemed to have exploded.
06:44But where was their pet dog?
06:54But early the next morning,
06:57they saw Kerry sitting near their gate.
07:01Yes.
07:03It's true.
07:05It's true.
07:07Ben is now more confident in facing disasters like the bushfire.
07:11But he will never forget that day
07:14when they went back to the house.
07:16It literally is like an oasis.
07:18Just the circle around his house and that's it.
07:20And the rest is just burnt.
07:22It's amazing that they were able to save something
07:24even though the firefighters' water ran out.
07:27Heat waves are the reason for hundreds of bushfires every year.
07:32It forms when the high-pressure zone remains in one place
07:37while there is cold air outside.
07:40In Perth, Australia in 2015,
07:43the heat reached 46 degrees Celsius.
07:46But the air temperature is measured in dark places
07:50so it's hotter in areas that are directly exposed to sunlight.
07:54It needs at least 70 degrees Celsius to cook an egg.
07:58But the egg white was cooked right away.
07:59In this pan, it means that the heat is possibly around 90 degrees Celsius.
08:06Heat waves are usually not that powerful.
08:10In Italy, the plastic in this car melted in the heat.
08:15In Chiori, Italy, this car has been in the sun for a few days
08:19and the heat reached 37 degrees Celsius.
08:22That's why the plastic in this car melted.
08:23The glass, the lights, the dashboard, and even the outside of the car are now covered in plastic.
08:29The car's dark surfaces were absorbed by the heat.
08:33The biggest disaster was the fire of the heat wave.
08:3710% of the wildlife started because of the wildfires.
08:41And a wildfire set fire to a tree in Arkansas, USA.
08:48The wildfire hit the tree and caused a stack effect.
08:51The cold air was blown from the top of the truck.
08:55The effect is similar to what we see in chimneys.
08:59The fire spread quickly inside the forest.
09:03In Siberia, this car was surrounded by bushfire.
09:07The burned truck is a bitter reminder of what they can do if they get lost.
09:15It's a life and death decision.
09:18The question is, will they go back or forward?
09:22They chose to go forward.
09:27It's a good thing that they made the right decision.
09:30At first, the fire was slowly dying and the firemen arrived to continue extinguishing the fire.
09:37One of the most popular adventures now is the live-aboard vacation.
09:41Instead of staying in a hotel, you can stay in a big boat.
09:45That's the travel goal of the tourists we will meet.
09:47But what they expected to be a good vacation turned out to be a bad one.
09:53Why? Let's watch in the story of Amazing No. 3.
10:00The adventure seekers, Emma and Pete, traveled to Central America.
10:05They didn't look for a life-and-death adventure but a notorious Colombian border in Panama.
10:11This is the Durian Gap.
10:13This land is controlled by kidnapping gangs that are victims of tourists.
10:19For safety, Emma and Pete accompanied other tourists for a four-day vacation in the middle of the sea.
10:26During the day, it just looks serene.
10:29I'm just looking out over the sea.
10:31It feels like nothing bad is going to happen.
10:33But on the second night, a tragedy struck them.
10:36They were struck by a loud noise that they heard the captain shouting.
10:42He ordered them to put on life jackets.
10:52The boat was wrecked and flooded.
10:56They took their belongings so that it wouldn't get wet.
10:59They had to get out.
11:01While the boat was sinking without a lifeboat,
11:03the captain ordered them to go home.
11:06But…
11:14Somehow, the coral reef was able to help because it was able to stop the water from entering the boat.
11:20But as soon as the waves pushed the boat away from the reef,
11:24the water would continue to enter and sink them.
11:27It was morning already.
11:29It was almost morning.
11:31The Panama mainland was already visible, but they were still stuck in the coral reef.
11:35The waves were getting bigger.
11:37The water was rising.
11:39What to do?
11:41Ten hours had passed.
11:43No one was calling for help.
11:45They were all hopeless, but they were still alert in case someone would come.
11:50After the flares went off at night and the GPS was used,
11:54and it was May Day on the radio,
11:56they were hoping.
12:00When they saw the boat, they were all hopeful.
12:05At last, they wouldn't drown in the ocean.
12:08There was still a tomorrow for the discouraged tourists.
12:12But the fishermen couldn't get near them.
12:25At this time, a military boat was coming.
12:29It was bigger than the previous one.
12:31But they couldn't move the boat to the reef because it was too shallow.
12:36That's why they stopped at the end of the reef,
12:38and the passengers went to the next boat.
12:43Because it was dangerous, the people who knew how to swim helped each other
12:48to cross the big wave.
12:51The 14 passengers and 4 crew went to the military boat in pairs.
12:57Because of this experience, they had a different kind of appreciation for nature.
13:02It's beautiful and it's so beautiful, and it's exciting, and we just want to keep adventuring.
13:09No matter how alert you are in driving, accidents and disasters can't be avoided.
13:15No matter what you avoid, there are opportunities.
13:18The only thing you can say is,
13:20I'm so unlucky.
13:22That's also the feeling of the people we're going to watch here
13:26in Kwentong Amazing No. 2, Kamalasan sa Daan.
13:31You think you're safe in Kamalasan when you're inside your car.
13:36But sometimes, you can still be alone in nature.
13:41Winter in Zhukovsky, Russia.
13:44The car is stuck in an icy road.
13:49It's a good thing that their big truck helped to pull the car out of the ice.
13:56They're trying to pull it out, but it won't come out.
14:00They need more strength.
14:07But the car is still stuck in the ice.
14:11What's that? A giant hole?
14:14No, the water is one of the strongest forces in the world.
14:20In Texas, the water comes through the big drainage pipes from the ditch.
14:25They can't believe it.
14:28The water is leaking.
14:30The pipes are clogged and lifted.
14:33Just in time, they got away.
14:35Just a few minutes and the road was completely destroyed.
14:40In Thailand, it rains every day.
14:43And even just for a moment, the rain pours heavily.
14:48The driver and his girlfriend continue their journey, even though the road is slippery.
15:02Oh, no! The two of them got splashed.
15:07It's a good thing that they didn't get hit by the rain.
15:10The driver was able to pull his girlfriend out of the water before she got splashed by the motorcycle.
15:17If not, their love story might have ended.
15:20Every year, more than 1.3 million people die in road accidents all over the world.
15:27Here in the Philippines, road accidents are the main cause of death of Filipinos aged 15 to 29 years old.
15:35We're not afraid of it, but we hope that our top story for today will serve as a reminder.
15:41The story, Amazing No. 1.
15:43Life is a road.
15:46San Diego. Sometimes, you don't have enough time.
15:50The cars here run slowly, even if you think that there won't be an accident.
15:57Oh, no!
15:58The passengers were lucky. The car collapsed because of a fallen tree, but there was no serious injury.
16:06The other car also collapsed because of a fallen tree. No one was able to ride on its back.
16:11It's a good thing.
16:13This parking lot in Russia is covered with snow.
16:17The road is slippery, so the cars should run slowly.
16:23Oh, it's fast.
16:25That's why, even if the car accelerates fast, it doesn't stop.
16:31They were lucky. They just hit a bump and not a big wall.
16:37How can you remove the thick snow from the car?
16:41It's simple. Just play an amazing song and wait for the beat drop.
16:48But you should not be inside your car when you do this.
