Coast Guard crew aboard a Jayhawk helicopter out of Coast Guard Air Station Sitka helped get a fishing boat’s bilge pumped out before it sank on Tuesday near Kake in Southeast Alaska.
A rescuer swimmer swam through the chop to the vessel, and then the crew aboard the helicopter lowered a pump and stayed nearby until the Coast Guard Cutter Anacapa arrived to assist. Video is courtesy of U.S. Coast Guard. Turn up the volume.
Semper Paratus!!!
How heroes work!
It amazes me the amount of practice and training these men and women do to be able to accomplish what they do. That part always goes unseen by the general public.
