★rescue(Continued from page one)Larry Shadday, Engel’s brother, got a little choked up during the filming when his sister gave him a hug for helping save her.He said the re-enactment was very close to what actually happened. “That was kind of eerie,” he said. “They put the car back down there just like it was. They went with the way we told them it happened.”When he arrived at the scene of the accident last year he saw his brother-in-law’s car. He didn’t know it was his sister until he looked over the hill and saw her car.“I wanted to get down there,” said Shadday, assistant chief of Napoleon Volunteer Fire Department and a member of Task Unit One. “I knew I could help. 10,000 things were racing through my mind. It was kind of emotional for her today.”The Rescue 911 crew works hard to make the accident realistic. They want it to be as close to the actual incident as possible, but they usually don’t use the victim because it is too traumatic, according to James Cohen, field production supervisor. They relied on local rescue crews to tell them exactly what happened.Filming an episode takes about one week at the scene. They try to use as many of the actual rescue workers as possible. Interviewing also takes place from the California office prior to the filming.Crews filmed in Batesville about 12 hours Tuesday, and they were expected to be finished, about 8 p.m. Wednesday.Members of the Napoleon Volunteer Fire Department, Batesville Rescue 10 ambulance, Batesville Fire Department extrication unit and University Hospital doctors were all used in the scene.The program will air during the fall season sometime between September and December.Daily Nows photo by Michollo HudsonMary and Floyd Engel watch the reenactment of Mary’s wreck Wednesday during the filming of the Rescue 911 episode in Ripley County.
