I remember the ambulance crash. The next episode is already on KZbin.

[@Redchannelconditions]

Yeah I’ve seen the following episode on here before! I hope the guy who does all the 999 playlists sees this and can add it to that video playlist!

[@pcbhaddicted]

I remember this episode well that ambulance crash was horrific.

[@Redchannelconditions]

It’s pretty horrendous. The kid surviving is a miracle

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

​@@RedchannelconditionsWhat caused the accident? Was it something they disconnected or did they crash into something, was it a mistake of the ambulance driver or was it the mistake of some other vehicle on the road?

[@Redchannelconditions]

@@muhammadalieesaa3379 from what it says on the clip, another vehicle did something which caused the collision and a roll over

[@philtopgear]

Fabulous upload! Please keep the 999 episodes coming if you have them 🙂

[@Redchannelconditions]

Thank you. That means a lot. I’ll try. But they are few and far between! Trust me I wish I managed to find one more often. It really is just a case of going through peoples discarded tapes and seeing what you can find. It’s a real Easter Egg hunt! But this particular one paid off.

[@StormKennedy-ky7jt]

​@Redchannelconditions thankyou so much for these upload I remember this episode I was 4 and eating a packet of cheese and onion Crisps why watching there is a site called Alexander Street that's has loads of 999 on but only previews as clips unless you have a log in or university log in could be possible with some sort of de coder or computer knowledge???

[@Redchannelconditions]

@@StormKennedy-ky7jt not a problem! It’s these memories that we all love to bring back. I don’t know about this website or how to gain access I’m afraid!

[@whythoidk]

Thank you so much for this :)

[@Redchannelconditions]

Not a problem :-) is it one you remember in particular?

[@carwynowen8709]

​@Redchannelconditions have you got the episode from 2000 about a badly injured lone climber that was stranded for 4 days in a remote Scottish mountain?

[@Redchannelconditions]

@@carwynowen8709 I don’t think I do. But hopefully it will turn up!

I heard of a similar story of an ambulance accident in India, a baby boy was only moments born & he had to be carried to another hospital in an ambulance & on the way to the other hospital one of the cylinders burst into flames which caused the ambulance to burst into flames & the baby died.

[@Redchannelconditions]

Omg. How sad :(

​@@Redchannelconditionsactually it was a baby girl who was moments born & an oxygen cylinder burst into flames & the ambulance was in flames & the baby was charred to death & that was in India, I don't know if you seen the link I tried to send you because KZbin doesn't seem to allow me to post links.

Post traumatic stress disorder & sleepless nights also what's worse is probably Steven was feeling responsible for the accident although it was unintentional. Steve the ambulance man could have had on his mind: IF I WOULD HAVE DEALT WITH THE VENTILATOR & DEALT WITH THE DISCONNECTION DIFFERENTLY, THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. That probably would have been haunting him. That would haunt me.

[@Redchannelconditions]

It’s easy to say but I think they did everything they could in this situation.

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

@@Redchannelconditions also to add to my comment is what could have been going on in Steve's mind: I COULD HAVE KILLED THE BABY & that would be haunting. What I mentioned in the comment above are just guesses. I was thinking was it the disconnection of the ventilator cause the bang & that caused the accident or did the bang distract the driver & the driver lost control which caused the ambulance to flip? I did hear Michael Burke say the ambulance collided with another vehicle, it could have been a coincidence when Steve was disconnecting the electric & the bang was the ambulance crashed into the vehicle because it got in the was or a vehicle crashed into the ambulance. I don't know just fascinated. I believe in God & I believe God has it written when we die & Victoria wasn't destined to go & no-one in the ambulance were destined to die & the same I believe that the man towards the end of the video who fell & it was over a thousand drop & landed on something hard & I believe it wasn't his time to leave his body BUT as I mentioned previously, it doesn't mean that we can go deliberately down harms way & start being careless & we still got to be sensible.

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

@@Redchannelconditions yes they did do all they could in the situation & I think there was something good which came out of that accident, because baby Victoria was more looked after.

[@Redchannelconditions]

@@muhammadalieesaa3379I’m assuming it was T-Boned and rolled. The memories of the staff in the ambulance were probably skewed in the heat of the moment and the adrenaline. I’ll see if I can find the news article. Would be interesting to know how Victoria is now. She would be in her 30s.

[@pak8606]

It was August 1992 when the ambulance crash happened

[@Redchannelconditions]

Excellent thank you. Any articles?

[@pak8606]

@@Redchannelconditions on the british Newspaper Archive yes

@@pak8606 ah thank you. Brilliant

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

Coming from someone who believes in God I believe Got already has it written who's born & when someone dies & not everyone dies at 100, I believe that baby Victoria wasn't destined to die & despite her illness & the accident on top of that she still pulled through & she didn't get crushed by all that debris falling on top of her while the ambulance was rolling over 5 times, I believe she wasn't destined to die BUT it doesn't mean that we should go deliberately down harms way.
