rescuers are praised for their tireless efforts, but some who were there believe fate lent a hand as well. >> we were originally delayed because of a vehicle breakdown. we would have been two hours ahead of the accident. i believe everything happens for a reason. we were just in the right place at the right time. >> it was just amazing that it was there. i started to wonder like, okay, maybe angels wear camouflage. i don't really know, because it was bigger than me. bigger than me. >> just looking back on it, we were lucky at times having the seabees show up. it was miraculous they showed up to help us out. >> coming up, a crane operator makes a critical decision 220 feet above a raging inferno. >> there was no way i could go down past that flame. >> when "caught on camera: help is on the way" continues.
