What happens

You Saved My Life is an Australian factual television series that screened on the Nine Network in 2009. It was hosted by 60 Minutes reporter Tara Brown and the doctor Andrew Rochford. You Saved My Life follows the stories of people who have been rescued in an emergency and reunited with their rescuers. It has a similar premise to the successful Seven Network factual television series Triple Zero Heroes. Two weeks after it started airing and six episodes in, the show was cancelled for the final time after having been taken off air and reinstated. In one episode, a plane crash survivor, Allana Arnott, meets with Hugh Russell, who had rescued her in the Blue Mountains 18 years prior. In another episode, a toddler who is now 26 meets with the train conductor who lept from a speeding train to rescue the child from the tracks moments ahead of an oncoming express train between Newcastle and Sydney.
