that you ran away before it hit.
1:27:04
But that was the whole idea!
I'm not an idiot!

1:27:08
It flew forwards and the lens -
1:27:12
Look, the lens flew off!
1:27:15
That was the whole idea!
1:27:20
The rocks came closer and closer...
1:27:24
And in the panic I screamed-
1:27:26
"The engine.! The engine.!"
1:27:28
Then there was a crash,
and the lens flew off...

1:27:30
so it isn't a question of timing.!
1:28:04
Before Herzog can
get the ship back to camp...

1:28:06
it runs aground on a sandbank.
1:28:09
He can't film the final scenes in Iquitos
without the ship...

1:28:11
so he has to wait for the rainy season
to flood the river and lift it off the sand.

1:28:16
But as month follows month
in the longest dry season in recorded history...

1:28:20
the ship remains stuck.
1:28:22
The other ship is stuck too-
at the bottom of the hill.

1:28:25
In fact, the whole film is stuck.
1:28:31
If I believed in the devil,
I would say the devil was right here...

1:28:35
and is still right here.
1:28:37
It becomes very questionable
because, uh...

1:28:40
people have lost their lives.
1:28:44
People have been in a plane crash,
and five of them in critical condition -

1:28:48
one of them paralyzed.
1:28:53
And those are all the costs
that you have to pay.

1:28:55
It could have hit me...
1:28:58
or anyone.
