believe this could happen. >> the video shows the donkey strapped into a harness and then taking off in the air. she flies for 30 awful minutes. witnesses say from the ground they could hear the animal braying. >> i think it's never happened in russia before so we weren't ready for that kind of accident. >> the donkey finally lands in the water and is pulled to shore, where she's checked by a veterinarian. the video sparks outcry from animal rights groups. the man behind the stunt goes into hiding at a friend's house with the flying donkey. anna tracks them down in a city an hour away. she's the first journalist to find them. >> she was standing in the garden alone. she looked okay. she wasn't damaged. she felt happy to see us because i bring a lot of food for her, like vegetables.
