Maybe it’s the narration that’s weird
One thing that caught my attention. The captain shouldn't chew anything while in charge of the boat. A chewing gum could block his airways. (It is also a sign that he might not be fully relaxe, if he needs to "vent" energy by chewing.)
For the rest, impressive as usual. Sea rescue services are just admirable and fascinating. Trained when young with surf lfie saving rescues services in the UK.
1:22 – Why no gloves????? Duh.
Respect to the crews
X-tra grooovy✌🏻😎
Deepest respect to the brave men and women of the coastguard for the work they do .
I just watched our local coastguard do this coming out of the Chetco River. It’s fun to watch.
All of the news broadcasters should post/broadcast all the out takes. Including faux news.
But I can't wait for discovery and supoenas going to faux news
Fake
You want brave well here’s brave on steroids!
Why didn’t you have any protection on your hands? On the boat everybody’s wearing gloves, did they not have any your size? Did you just forget? I’m not impressed with this journalism.
Bill Whitaker has an awesome job! 😀
You're got to get under the water get your head wet because those waves are not going to let you keep your hair dry. that cold will either make your actions panicky, or you balls will grow a great deal bigger good luck.
Grew up crossing the Colombia river, its no joke.
…so that others may live. Strength and Courage to the members of the Coast Guard. Semper Paratus.
Oh man, I wish I was there!
I invented the bottom paint that is used on those boats
This is an excellent piece!
I’ve done a lot of unusual things, Submarines Helmsman for over 5 years, GoodYear Blimp, Planes, Race Cars. This is one I missed. Sure would love to try it for a few days.
