00:00Uh-oh. Three friends, Kyle, Harry, and Sherry, are locked in separate cages on a deserted island in the middle
00:06of a lake.
00:08Kyle's cage has a huge ice block on top of it.
00:11There's a tank with boiled water on top of Harry's cage.
00:14Only Sherry's cage hatch is locked, and the metal padlock is pretty heavy.
00:18The key is inside Kyle's cage.
00:21Can you find a way for the three friends to escape?
00:30It's daytime, and the weather is hot.
00:33Therefore, the ice over Kyle's cage will soon melt.
00:36He'll be able to grab the key and escape to the hatch on top of his cage.
00:41As for the boiled water, it will eventually cool down.
00:44After that, Harry will be able to escape to the hatch on top of his cage, joining Kyle.
00:49Then, the two guys can unlock Sherry's cage.
00:53The guys are now released from their cages.
00:55They begin to look for a way to escape and come up with three options.
00:59They can try to drive this old car, walk to the nearest village and ask for help,
01:04or use this rowboat, which floats not far from the shore.
01:08Can you help them choose the best option?
01:17It's a deserted island in the middle of a lake, remember?
01:20The first two options simply make no sense.
01:23The guys used the boat and managed to reach the mainland by midnight.
01:27Luckily, they find an abandoned cabin to spend the night.
01:31But it only has one match.
01:33There's an oil lamp, a fireplace, and a furnace in this cabin.
01:37What should they like first?
01:48The next morning, Kyle wakes up early.
01:50Perry and Sherry are still sleeping.
01:53He decides to go investigate the area.
01:55Soon, Kyle finds a brand new airplane.
01:58He immediately gets behind the wheel to pick up his friends and fly away from this cursed forest.
02:03But suddenly, the owner of the vehicle shows up.
02:05He pushes Kyle out of the airplane without a parachute.
02:09There's only hard ground below him.
02:11But Kyle manages to survive.
02:13How?
02:20The airplane is still on the ground.
02:24Sherry wakes up second and decides to go pick some berries for breakfast.
02:27He finds three bushes with different types of berries.
02:31But only one of them is safe.
02:33Can you guess which one?
02:42Let's take a look at the first bush.
02:44Although raspberries are edible, a scorpion is hiding inside the bush.
02:48So Sherry should stay away from it.
02:50The second bush has a bunch of pretty berries.
02:53But there are no animal traces around the bush.
02:56So it's probably poisonous.
02:58As for the third option, it's a simple gooseberry bush.
03:02It has some animal traces around it.
03:04It seems quite reliable.
03:06Meanwhile, Harry wakes up in the cabin.
03:08He realizes that the room is on fire and he's trapped.
03:12The smoke prevents him from seeing the windows.
03:14And the door is blocked by the fire too.
03:16The firefighters are on their way, but he needs to think quickly to survive while he's waiting for help.
03:22Harry comes up with four options.
03:24To stay on the ground and stay as low as possible.
03:27To get on a chair and stay close to the ceiling.
03:30To take his clothes off to stay cooler.
03:32Or to hide under the desk.
03:34Can you help him figure out the best solution?
03:41Harry should stay low to the ground.
03:43That way, he'll be better protected from fumes and smoke.
03:48The locals save Harry and Sherry from the fire and imprison them in their village.
03:53But soon, they get bored and decide to offer the prisoners a chance to escape.
03:58Harry and Sherry are put on opposite sides of one room.
04:01Both friends are facing a law.
04:03The task is to write down a number between 10,000 and 1,000,000 on a piece of paper
04:08without knowing what the other person wrote.
04:11If the two numbers end up being different, Harry and Sherry will be captured forever.
04:16But if they write the same number, the locals will set them free.
04:20Unfortunately, their ears are plugged with headphones playing loud music.
04:23So they can only communicate using sign language.
04:27Also, their feet are chained to the ground.
04:29So they cannot turn around.
04:31But yet, they manage to pick the same number.
04:42There were windows on the walls.
04:44So Harry and Sherry could see each other in the reflection of the glass.
04:48They could easily communicate using sign language.
04:52Meanwhile, Kyle is traveling through the jungle on his own to find his friends.
04:57Kyle takes a look inside his filtered water bottle.
05:00Ooh, bad news.
05:01He's almost out of water.
05:02He wanders around and finds four sources of water.
05:06A juicy cactus, a pond with salty salt water, a clear still lake, and a silt stream.
05:12What source of water should Kyle choose?
05:21Most cactuses are toxic.
05:24So instead of fighting his thirst, Kyle will get a stomachache.
05:27Salty salt water will dehydrate him.
05:29Stagnant water from the still lake is probably infested with all kinds of bacteria.
05:34So the best choice would be the silty stream.
05:37It contains nothing that Kyle's filter water bottle can't neutralize.
05:41Kyle keeps on walking.
05:43Suddenly, he spots a crocodile and freaks out.
05:46Can you see it too?
05:54The croc is over here.
05:56Kyle is trying to escape.
05:58But the jungle is full of other wild animals.
06:01He only has two options.
06:03To sail on a motorboat across the lake when he saw the crocodile.
06:06Or to sail on a regular boat across the shark river.
06:09Can you help him pick the best option?
06:17Kyle should choose the second option.
06:19Sharks don't inhabit waters, so it's just a cool name.
06:23Meanwhile, Harry and Sherry are walking through the mountains.
06:26They find a cave and decide to explore it.
06:29Suddenly, the ground begins to tremble and falling stones block the way out.
06:33The guys wander around and find three tunnels leading outside.
06:37A hungry mountain lion is waiting in the first tunnel.
06:40He hasn't eaten in two years.
06:42The second tunnel is infested with unknown flesh-eating insects.
06:46They love to feast on all types of mammals, including humans.
06:50And the third passage is guarded by a dangerous runaway criminal.
06:54He's ready to get rid of any witnesses, just to avoid going to prison again.
06:58Which way is more or less safe?
07:07Harry and Sherry should choose the first passage.
07:10Mountain lions cannot live for two years without food.
07:13Harry and Sherry keep on walking.
07:15They argue about human body capabilities.
07:18They make a deal.
07:19Harry would go to Antarctica, and Sherry would travel to the Sahara Desert.
07:23They'll both try to survive in those locations for three days without any shelter or clothes,
07:29but with plenty of food and water.
07:30Who has the best chance of surviving?
07:38In Antarctica, the temperatures are freezing all the time.
07:41And without any cover, Harry would turn into a snowman in less than a day.
07:46In the Sahara, on the other hand, the heat is intense only during the day.
07:50It's rather cool there during the night.
07:52And a water supply will help Sherry fight dehydration.
07:56Harry and Sherry reach the top of a mountain.
07:59Suddenly, they spot Kyle in the woods.
08:01Unfortunately, the mountain road is very confusing.
08:04There are three possible routes the guys can take to reach Kyle.
08:08Can you help them choose the best option?
08:15Only the third route actually leads to Kyle.
08:19Finally, Kyle, Harry, and Sherry reunite.
08:22The guys approach the harbor, hoping to find a vessel to go home.
08:26Luckily, they meet a family of three.
08:28Each of them is ready to give the guys a ride on their own boat.
08:32Timothy says,
08:33My boat is the best.
08:34I bought it six months ago and named it after my wife.
08:37His son Thomas says,
08:39My boat is 10 years old and has never let me down.
08:42And Monica, Timothy's wife, says,
08:45My boat is used, but I know the route better than anyone.
08:48Trust me.
08:49And only one of them is telling the truth.
08:51Can you guess who?
09:00Take a closer look at Timothy's boat.
09:02Its name is Michelle, not Monica, which means his story is a lie.
09:07Thomas lied about the age of his boat.
09:09The engraving says 1980.
09:11So, the guy should say yes to Monica.
09:15If you ever think there's no way out of your difficult predicament,
09:19Just remember, there's a man who managed to escape from a whale's throat.
09:23No, not Jonah, but Michael Packard, a commercial lobster diver who went down in history after a humpback whale slurped
09:31him up near Cape Cod.
09:33On this particular day, Packard was 45 feet underwater lurking for lobsters when he felt a huge bump.
09:40Instantly, everything went dark.
09:42He feared it was the worst.
09:43A shark must have attacked him.
09:45But then, he saw no sharp teeth around him and felt no terrible pain.
09:50He soon realized he was inside a whale's mouth, and the whale was trying to swallow his accidental lunch.
09:56The diver was still in his scuba gear and had his breathing apparatus on.
10:00He realized he might never see his family again, as he had few chances of making it out alive.
10:06But, around half a minute later, the whale went up to the surface of the water and started shaking from
10:12side to side.
10:13He spat Packard out, and the diver landed in the water without any serious injuries, just some bruises.
10:20Now, lobster divers normally work in pairs, and one of them stays on the surface to track their colleague.
10:26So, his crewmate immediately came to the rescue.
10:29There was also a charter boat captain nearby, and he helped to pull Packard aboard.
10:33Michael was taken to the hospital and left it with a slight limp the same afternoon.
10:38Experts say that humpback whales rarely interact with humans.
10:42So, this big guy was probably trying to snack on some small fish and ingested Packard by accident.
10:48The diver would have unlikely fit in the whale's throat because its esophagus is small.
10:54So, sometimes, a story really is too hard to swallow.
10:58Did I say that?
11:00In 2015, an Alaska Airlines flight going to Los Angeles had to return to Seattle after 14 minutes of flying.
11:08The passengers aboard heard some loud banging.
11:11It was coming from the cargo hold.
11:13It turned out that a baggage handler fell asleep down there while the plane was still on the ground.
11:19He woke up after a piece of luggage had fallen on his head.
11:22Willa Jr. couldn't believe it was happening to him.
11:25He didn't expect to survive, but he still called the company he was working for and 911.
11:31The call was cut after 44 seconds, so he didn't manage to get a response on what to do.
11:36Jr. didn't give up and started screaming for help and banging at the ceiling.
11:41The passengers who heard the banging started to panic.
11:44The crew figured out what was going on, and the plane turned back to Seattle.
11:49At that point, the baggage handler also started to panic, but for a different reason.
11:53He saw the police, the helicopters, and his boss on the ground and thought he would have to go to
11:58jail.
11:59He explained he didn't have lunch after 7 hours into his shift and just dozed off.
12:04He went back to work the following day and promised he would never fall asleep on a plane again, at
12:10least in the cargo hold.
12:12In Arizona, a man heard some screaming inside the chimney of his neighbor's house.
12:17He called the fire department, and they found a 26-year-old man in there.
12:21He spent 4 hours inside the chimney before his happy rescue and was all covered in soot.
12:27He explained to his rescuers that he got stuck as he tried to get into his own house after he
12:33had locked the keys inside.
12:34He went down deep enough to touch the floor with his feet, but got stuck in the narrower part of
12:40the chimney near the fireplace.
12:41The fire crew lowered a rope down the chimney and pulled the young man onto the roof.
12:46He didn't have any injuries and became one of several people in Arizona who had been saved from chimneys before.
12:53Someone else fell down while playing, and another guy got inside just for fun.
12:59Now, sometimes, firefighters don't have to take down flames, but instead pull people out of storm drains.
13:06In California, a woman saw legs trapped halfway in a manhole in the street.
13:12As it turned out later, a 21-year-old man spent 40 minutes down there.
13:17He jumped in, trying to get his cell phone out.
13:19Police came to the rescue but couldn't do anything to help.
13:23Only the firefighters managed to rescue him using special netting equipment.
13:27Later, he told the news channels he had been followed by some criminals.
13:32So, the next time you use a public bathroom, make sure there's no one sticking out of it.
13:37In Norway, a man somehow managed to climb feet first inside a toilet to retrieve his friend's phone.
13:44The tank was not connected to the sewer and was only emptied once a season.
13:49The brave volunteer stood thigh-deep in whatever was inside the toilet for an hour.
13:55Firefighters had to break the toilet to help our hero.
13:58He later shared it was the most disgusting experience in his life, and he was afraid of confined spaces.
14:04It must have been one priceless phone he went through all this for.
14:08He didn't manage to get it out, by the way.
14:10Also unknown is whether he remained friends with the phone guy.
14:14I mean, come on.
14:16Turkish custom officials noticed a Georgian citizen acting weirdly at the border.
14:21They decided to inspect his luggage in every detail.
14:23They didn't find any banned items inside, except for a 22-year-old girl.
14:29She was slim enough to hide inside a regular suitcase in an uncomfortable fetal position.
14:35She was trying to smuggle herself into Turkey because she was banned from visiting the country legally.
14:40Could there have been a reason for that?
14:43Anyway, the couple's plan didn't work out, and they were both sent home to Georgia and instructed never to come
14:49back.
14:50People who went to chill at Lady Bird Lake in Texas one summer afternoon surely didn't expect to see a
14:56massive rescue operation.
14:59911 received several phone calls from those who noticed a boat hanging up against the Longhorn Dam.
15:05There were four people in the boat, seconds away from tipping over.
15:09One of the onlookers, who was fishing nearby, noticed a hand waving from the side of the boat, probably calling
15:15for help.
15:16The rental boat got too close to the dam and got stuck on the spillway, which was open because of
15:21the heavy rains in the airhead.
15:22The small electric vessel didn't have the power to reverse to safety.
15:27The emergency services designed an entire rescue plan.
15:30They lowered four life jackets from a helicopter to the stuck passengers.
15:35The fire department prepared to rescue them downstream in case the boat tipped over.
15:39Luckily for everyone, a lake patrol boat pulled the rental to safe waters, and all the passengers were perfectly fine.
15:47It was probably the only incident of this kind near Longhorn Dam, at least in the past 25 years.
15:53A group of three friends in the Indian state of Kerala went trekking in the hills.
15:58One of them was really tired, and he slipped and fell down a crevice.
16:03His friends tried to pull him up with vines and sticks, but failed.
16:07And so, the 23-year-old was left on the face of a steep hill, waiting for help.
16:12He was sending photos to his friends to make sure they had his exact location.
16:17Police and fire department reached the hill the same night, but couldn't help because of poor visibility.
16:23They lit torches to scare away wild animals from the location.
16:27The defense force sent a helicopter to his rescue, but that mission failed.
16:32Then, two units of special forces, trained in mountaineering, rock climbing, and rappelling, arrived at the location.
16:39The trekker was starting to lose hope, as it was hanging at the height of 1,968 feet for over
16:4640 hours at that point, without food or water.
16:49The rescuers promised to bring him some water soon, and it gave the guy new hope.
16:54The team decided it would be better to pull the trekker up the crevice, not downhill.
16:59Two rescuers rappelled down to him.
17:01One of them previously climbed up to the top of Mount Everest.
17:05The adventurous young man was given food and water and then carried upstairs, where he received first aid and was
17:12then airlifted to the hospital.
