Imagine flipping your car, being trapped and not knowing where you are to get help to you. Now, imagine being that 911 operator on the other end, desperate to get rescuers to you.

That's the scene that played out for 40 minutes early Friday morning in the metro area. The victims, 19-year old Patrick Schlehuber and 22-year old Ryan Schlehuber of Fort Calhoun.

Ryan Schlehuber called 911. Those tapes were released to Channel 6 News.

911 Operator: "911, what emergency are you reporting?"

It started just like any other 911 call. But it quickly turned into something much more.

Ryan Schlehuber: "I'm stuck in my car and crashed, I cannot move my legs."
911 Operator: "Where are you at?"
Ryan Schlehuber: "I do not know where I am sir."

Ryan Schlehuber didn't know he was just east of Lake Cunningham at 84th and Rainwood Road. He also didn't remember his 19-year old brother, Patrick, was in the car with him.

Ryan Schlehuber: "It's so cold, really cold out here. My legs are cold."
911 Operator: "Stay calm all right. It's going to help you to stay calm. I'm right here, we're gonna get you help ok?"
Ryan Schlehuber: "Ok."

But that help had to find the victims first. Rescuers used GPS technology in the victim's cell phone to help pinpoint the crash site. But the phone's carrier did not have many towers, so the going was slow.

The 911 operator described part of the search method to others in the call center.

911 Operator: "We're trying to do a retransmit. He's alone in the car, he's not quite sure where he's at, we're trying to pin it down a little closer. He is pinned in the vehicle, he cannot move his legs."

But for the victim, help can't come fast enough.

911 Operator: "Just stay calm, that's the best thing that's going to help you."
Ryan Schlehuber: "But my legs are going numb."
911 Operator: "I understand and I know it's scary, but just stay calm. We're going to find you."

And then, the words come true.

911 Operator: "The helicopter thinks they see you."
Ryan Schlehuber: "Ok."
911 Operator: "The chopper sounds very, very close."

911 Operator: "They've got him."
Ryan Schlehuber: "Hello!"
Rescuer on the scene: "I got you."

With rescuers now on the scene, it was time for Ryan's friend of the last 40 minutes to let him go.

911 Operator: "Ok they found you."
Ryan Schlehuber: "Ok."
911 Operator: "Ok? I'm going to go ahead and let you go."
Ryan Schlehuber: "Ok thank you ma'am."
911 Operator: "You're welcome."
Ryan Schlehuber: God bless.
911 Operator: "You too, bye bye."

Crews had to use the jaws of life to free the victims. Police say alcohol and speed were factors in this crash. The driver, Patrick Schlehuber, was cited for driving under the influence, minor in possession of alcohol and reckless driving.

The brothers were taken to the hospital in critical condition. Updates on their conditions are not being released.
