the camera guy, he got a little squeamish about the whole thing. so i grabbed the camera, and i started shooting after that. i was more concerned about making sure i got the scene on tape. sergeant john holland is the only fireman on duty in white lake township when the call comes in. when i first arrived there, i see the aircraft, the nose down. i can still see the pilot in the plane. with that type of impact, an aircraft has basically fallen out of the sky hitting the water, my biggest concerns are spinal injuries. the situation seems under control, but sergeant holland knows there are hidden dangers. a two-ton plane leaking 75 gallons of jet fuel can be a recipe for disaster. when you get any type of incident like this, you start getting everybody wants to come and look. you ve got fuel in the water. you have a combustion engine coming in. ....

A father/son project elevates a homemade aircraft higher than they ever imagined. i said to myself, if i see blackness, i m going to freak out. of course that meant space. when we saw the blackness of space and the curvature of the earth and that blue glow that the earth gives off, we were just stunned. it was the most incredible thing ever. cinematographer luke geissbuhler loves doing cool projects with his son max, especially when they involve cameras. we came upon this project online. and the potential of the outcome was so huge that we couldn t pass it up. the boys plan on launching a camera into space with the aid of a helium-filled weather balloon. it took about eight months to ....
Then we know that the job is pretty much over. at this point in time, where we try to continue to talk to him and explain to him that he s making a very smart decision in handling the situation the way he did. the man tells police that he suffers from schizophrenia and is immediately taken to a mental hospital for an evaluation. any time a job goes as well as this job, it s always a feeling of a sense of accomplishment. i think any one of us in the emergency service unit when we have the opportunity to help someone, it s definitely a sense of satisfaction. but then we re kind of off to the next job. coming up a plane slams into a lake. it s hard to imagine anybody surviving that. and when shifting winds push a skydiver off course nine times out of ten you re going to hit what you re trying to miss. brace for impact. when calm on camera up in the air returns. ....
