The helicopter belonging to "Alone in the Wilderness" had its cabin door open first. The first to jump out was Mark, dressed in a heavy parka, his face filled with excitement and emotion.
Following him were a photographer carrying professional cameras and a female reporter with a microphone and recording equipment.
The heavy helicopter's cabin door also opened almost simultaneously.
