| 0:00.0 | The monitor flatlines. The doctors work fast. The paddles charge. His family watches from the corner of the room. |
| 0:11.0 | And Bob Frisbee, husband, father, lifelong pilot, feels something snap. |
| 0:18.0 | He wakes in a room he doesn't recognize. |
| 0:22.1 | No windows. |
| 0:23.4 | A door with no handle. |
