up. i was in a 100-mile-an-hour wind blast. my parachute weighs 35 pounds. i didn't have leverage. >> the only person left in the plane is the pilot. he can't leave the controls. as andy dangles 11,000 feet up with no one to help him, his dad and friends land safely on the ground, where don vick is working desperately to rescue his friend. >> we knew that the odds of someone surviving what andy was going through were possibly not good. >> but don isn't giving up hope, yet. >> it just wasn't an option for andy to perish. it wasn't going to happen. >> he calls andy's dad into his office to run through the rescue options. >> we talked about the different angles of the tack of the aircraft, turning it in different directions, to see if we could dislodge andy.s/ we did try that. >> it doesn't work. andy still hangs under the plane, frantically trying to save himself from death, high above the earth. >> there was one time where i actually got my fingertips on to the step.
