have a bit of a chuckle about it right now because at the moment it was happening, there was nothing that s joshua right there. look at how frightened he was, but boy, they are happy to get to safety. by the way, no disrespect to young joshua, that is a harrowing ride. you saw that basket was spinning. it s windy. the are prop wash from the helicopter is causing it to be windier. and then you get into the helicopter that s also moving. it would not be normal, miguel to not be frightened. i m looking at those shots. it would not be normal to not be frightened as that basket was coming up. ali, are you back with me? can you hear me now? i ve got you. and we were showing the video of joshua as well. yeah. absolutely. i mean, i was terrified to be inside the helicopter. and, you know, this is an 11-year-old boy who is being hoisted up outside in the elements who has been in flood waters for several hours. so i can t imagine what he s feeling. all of these people have had
the navy is also the agency that brought us in. they have been doingo manslaughter work since they got here. you can see these guys plotting and planning their next mission. we re going to walk past them here to see if there more peopl out of that helicopter. one would guess there would be. here they re getting ready to touch down. there s a ground crew that is getting hammered by the rain and getting ready to open this side door. my guess is it will be full of about ten people who have just been plucked from the floodwaters. we ll soon find out. see the first air team getting out and unlocking the sliding door. it does look like there are people inside here. again, another rescue. i mean, it s only been minutes since the last one. it s incredible how quickly all the teams are able to go and scoop people out. another young girl it appears. another young man. another young boy. all of these people falling out of the helicopter. this is a scene that will continue all the way into the eve
experience. it s whipping in the wind. it s rainy. the helicopter itself is rotating and moving. and the basket is coming up and people are literally holding on to the basket. that s the only way they re safe and secure. they re propped up. the rescue man then goes outside the helicopter, pulls that basket in. they re brought to safety. the basket is still spinning, moving a bits inside the helicopter. they then get out of that basket and that is the first time you see any sign of relief for the people who have been wading through flood waters and have finally made it into a helicopter. we saw a boy who was rescued, and he looked terrorized. he looked scared because the basket was shaking and spinning as he came up. even as he got in, i don t mean if you remember that boy in the 11:00 eastern hour. i do. it s 11-year-old joshua, ali. and he s inside the shelter here. brian, do you think i m going to show you the scene here. 11-year-old joshua, we were with him as he was being
we have seen rescues for quite sometime. i have done this before. watching his face. yeah. moved me. i mean, this boy was petrified. he was scared. his parents, though, were so, so relieved. and his face really told us the story here of what these folks are going through. i m going to bring you here into the shelter. ali, when we first got here, there were five people in this shelter. wow. five peechl, including the air drop that we brought in. now many people who will be here all night. this is actually joshua s dad. can you talk to me a little bit your experience in coming out. creepy. creepy and wet, very wet. it was a bad experience and i don t want to go through it again. when we were coming up i was looking at joshua and our viewers have seen the photo of joshua, who looks scared. he was screaming. why was this such a harrowing experience for your young son, your is 1-year-old to go threw? actually, because we re from
austin, and this is something you know what i m saying? we don t have hurricanes up there. bad weather it s something new, something new to us. through that experience, what do you do now? rebuild. rebuild and because it could have been worse. did you ever see this coming? no. i seen it. but you know. well w we are glad you re safe. we re glad joshua is safe. thank you very much. this is where they re processing people. you ll see here in this room, there are young children all right. we re having some trouble with miguel s signal maybe it s because they re deeper in the building. but that gentleman that he was just talking to is it the father of that boy we were just showing the video of who was brought up, 11-year-old joshua who was so terrified. i m glad that his father can
