U. S. Coast Guard Ocean Rescue - See Video Here


The U. S. Coast Guard performed a medical evacuation of a 32-year-old man from the charter vessel D&D 30 miles west of Tillamook, Oregon, last week.

An HH-60 crew from Group/Air Station Astoria hoisted a heart attack victim from the small boat on July 15th.
A Coast Guardsman took a video of the rescue from within the helicopter, literally filming over the head of another Coast guardsman who was hoisting the victim into the HH-60 above a churning ocean.

The video is an official Coast Guard Video from Group/Air Station Astoria and may be seen by
