    The video description and the footage don't match. Description says Miami and the footage shows a crew out of Barbers Point in Hawaii and the all have the Hawaiian flag patch on their right sleeve. The helo even takes off from Barbers Point.

    Despite the different nationalities, respecting these people in the field of rescue, whether they are men or women, thank you for the service of humanity. ❤❤

    Great video. I looked this up because the last time I was on a cruise there was a rescue mission like this. Keep up the good work.
  • @luiscurtolo
    I mean, theres an helipad, how about just land the freakin chopper hahaba
  • Every call is different,if it's on board a ship, it's more than what the on board personnel can handle,they usually call the USCG when a passenger needs more urgent care as far as landing on a ship, it's evaluated on a case by case basis, but the care remains the same.

    I always ask myself why the chopper doesn't just land on the ship. It's much more intuitive and involved than just putting the helo down on a helipad. Lots of things need to come together. Helipads on ships are designed to hold only a certain amount of weight. The USCG Dolphin is light enough for a landing. If this was a Jayhawk, the pad wouldn't be able to hold the weight of the helo. Additionally, you noticed that the ship was under way when they started the hoist of the swimmer to the deck, but they were in the process of coming to complete stop. A complete stop of the ship allows the helicopter crew to appropriately assess the winds and how the wind will react when it comes into contact with the ship. Putting the rescue swimmer down first allowed the crew to do several things: Clear the landing area of obstructions. Observe the winds. Analyze weather the ship would be pitching and rolling and if so, how much. Weather or not a landing would be a safe option. Clearly in this case it was safe enough for the pilot to feel comfortable to put down his aircraft and do a quick load of the patient and the rescue swimmer. Very cool to see the USCG actually utilizes ship based helipads for actually landing the helicopter!
  • I really wanted to see them land on the ship! So, if he was gonna land it anyway. What was the point in hoisting the operator and the basket down to the ship? That part confused me! It literally took away unnecessary time, at least in my opinion, which i could be wrong, especially since i dont know the reason yet. Nonetheless, these guys are super badass! I dont care what nobody says!
  • Actually there is plenty reason why they don't land on ships Hella pads because bad weather especially strong Seabreeze it'can be very differently to control if so they abandon the rescue if the ship is stationed stopped a stand still it be as safe to land depending whether wise all rescue are differently sea rescue are more as dangerous as ever than on land sea rescue crews are badass do a fantastic job 👍👍
