The first in a new ten-part series of the programme which reconstructs real-life rescues and reveals extraordinary stories of heroism and bravery. Tonight's stories include the capsizing accident that left a young sailor trapped underwater; and the two cavers entombed by a rockfall who used smoke signals to help their rescuers find them. Presented by Michael Buerk with Juliet Morris.
