:33:00
We got something we could
probably set up for ya.

:33:05
Look at that fit.
That'll work.

:33:08
You got some tools
that are salvageable in here.

:33:10
You don't see help like this every day.
:33:12
You need a flashlight?
:33:13
Jason, I think you're
gonna be okay, my friend.

:33:15
We're pretty sure he made it.
Despite some evidence to the contrary.

:33:19
There are things that are
impossible to prepare for.

:33:22
Like your engine falling off.
Sitting there. Mocking you.

:33:27
Near the ostrich ranch.
15-year-old Kevin Denault was prepared.

:33:30
His video camera at the ready to shoot
his Uncle Bob as he raced past.

:33:42
The ostriches were in shock.
Even cars fly better than they do.

:33:47
T turned out that young Denault
had the only footage of his uncle's wreck.

:33:50
Which had taken place
right in front of him

:33:52
at the only place their paths
would cross for a thousand miles.

:33:55
What are the odds?
:33:57
Probably about the same
as being eaten by an ostrich.

:34:03
The buggy wasn't prepared to stop
in the middle of the road.

:34:06
And the Volkswagen wasn't prepared
for such little room.

:34:10
Neither were prepared that the buggy
would start from the bumpers touching

:34:14
and that the Volkswagen wouldn't start.
:34:17
Then a good Samaritan came along.
:34:19
Waved along the truck.
Which got its fender ripped off...

:34:23
.., thus starting the Volkswagen.
:34:25
A pattern had begun to develop.
:34:33
There's one element that is more
feared and loathed than any other...

:34:37
silt.
:34:39
Silt is bottomless talcum powder.
:34:41
When you get home,
the silt still comes out

:34:43
of your eyes and your nostrils
for two and three days later.

:34:47
You can't fathom
:34:48
what Baja is until you've experienced it.
:34:51
Explaining silt to someone,
that you hit it and you can't see anything

:34:54
and you have
to keep your foot down.

:34:55
I thought I had it all figured out.
:34:57
The first time I hit silt,
I was going, "Oh, my... "
