I love the flight mechanic at the beginning saying they can have the lady from the cruise ship “at a *semi-high* level of care” with the flight surgeon on board. Lol I’m sure he was like “um thanks I guess????” 🚁🤣🤣
Thank you coast guard's for always being there when there's someone that needs help keep up the good work 😊👍 God blessed all of you and keep you all safe 🙏
I am hooked on Alaska to begin with, two RV trips, at least 7 Iditarod and several on the Blue Canoe and ports of call. Binge watching this series after I ran out of others. Nice to see the action in and around places that are familiar to me.
1 of the episodes they had 12 people that needed rescue. The 1st H60 took additional 7POB... & The 2nd H60 took the other 5POB. The 1st H60 (Helo) went with 2 pumps on board when they left base as the call was for a research vessel taking on water. But when they were on route to scene the 12 people needed to abandon vessel & get into the water. So when they arrived on scene they chose to ditch the 2 pumps in their orange floating cases directly into the ocean... As they were too far out from land to turn back & drop them on land. And would be too heavy, not enough fuel, not enough room to have the original 5POB plus adding 7 survivors ON Board (12 POB total) to keep the 2 pumps, 12 people & have enough fuel or be over weight to make it back to land. Now I know they had the C-130 over head, and the 2nd H60 on scene that picked up 5 survivors plus had 4 crew on board... But my questions are: - Would the 2nd H60 been able to have enough room, fuel & weight to pick up those 2 pumps? AND/OR - Would the C-130 been able to try to retrieve the pumps somehow? AND/OR - Would the C-130 if had enough fuel had to stay on scene & watch the pumps floating in the ocean until either a cutter vessel, or emergency watercraft vessel, or 3rd H60 could arrive on scene? AND/OR - Would they have asked a Good Samaritan Vessel to pick it up? AND/OR - Do they have GPS or some other type of devices in the Floating Orange Pump Cases to be able to track the Pumps in the ocean? Similar to how they put float rings, & other devices with a tracker of some sort... into the water to track the drifts when completing SAR missions/training?! Also... Whenever they loan pumps to vessels... of course they have the vessel information, and each pump probably has a unit number... so they obviously have ways to track what pumps & equipment are going out on what Coast Guard Vessels, Helicopters, Aircraft, assets, etc... And they radio in to headquarters what they are doing, where they are at, what equipment they are using, etc... So HQ would be keeping a log of all the details. However do they go & retrieve the pumps & other equipment they lend to mariners from the vessels once they return to Docks? Or do the vessels operators have to take them to the Coast Guard Stations? -And do they charge the vessels, insurance, survivors, etc... for usage of such equipment such as pumps, ropes for tows, etc...? - Do they charge the Survivors, Vessels, Insurance, etc... of people they go and rescue, search for, etc...? Or is it covered under taxes? I watched so many episodes I can't remember if it was this one or a different episode that they ditched the pumps into the ocean to make weight & room for the extra people on board.
There was an episode where the crew asks SAR how they should return the pump as they are done pumping and in transit as the h60 departs and in that case they were far from the airstation and the answer was "we'll be stopping at the airport right on shore to refuel you can bring it to the airport. But you also have to keep in mind most cases have the captain do an interview giving their thanks, and this was long before Zoom so that's in person. The purpose of the trip to the airstation was likely 1-return pump and interview was just another thing to do while there.
So does that boat get to keep the pump? How will the Coast Guard be compensated for the pump? Do they accept AMEX? Can we set up a payment plan? Lots of open issues here.
@@firestartergold1768 that's exactly what the commenter said, but the video said that Alaska is a dangerous place but some people don't see the beauty so im confused
You know what? These people who live way out where only the coast guard can get them if they have a medical emergency… I bet they don’t have to pay for the emergency response, because it’s a government service, despite the expense of running a helicopter. And that’s a good thing! But if these same people had the same emergency in the middle of a big US city, they’d owe hundreds of dollars for the ambulance ride, even if it was only 10 minutes. There’s something very backwards about that.
The CG part is part is yes but remember many of these people pay taxes and they still have the same costs for the ambulance or even guardian/lifeflight and hospital charges that got to insurances or state or private. It is not much different than any other place. There are times in other states when like the national guard helps in rescues and people or their insurance don't get charged. I am also thankful I don't pay the same amount of taxes my cousin does but understand where it goes up there.
@@candilynnn I pay taxes too. Why can’t my ambulance be free if I ever need one? Although yeah, I guess when the coast guard takes them to another life flight or ambulance rather than to hospital, they’d still be charged for that. It’s ridiculous. No one should turn down emergency care they really need just because they’re afraid of the cost, but that happens way too often.
Now that’s the truth! Only property owners pay taxes. We pay the ticket ride for the rest. I have insurance but still paid for two ambulance rides this Summer, and I’m a property owner, too. Doesn’t seem fair, no does it?
The thing is that they always get transferred to a land ambulance which is already expensive on the main land, but even more expensive in remote areas due to the lack of emergency services so it totals out to be almost the coast of the coastguard and ambulance costs combined
Most likely a blood sugar issue, although stroke and seizure are highly possible as well. I would not jump to drug use as a commonality with her age group and socio-economic standing.
@@janetseidlitz5976 I would personally because anybody can and will use drugs, my mother used drugs while she was raising me and I was never any the wiser, we were a pretty average middle class family then
You would think the medical professionals would know that a febrile seizure isn’t from a high fever. It is from how fast the body temperature rises. You can have a seizure from a temperature of only 102 if their temperature shoots up so fast it causes the brain to freak out.
I am at the point in the vid where they brought litter with cruise ship patient into the chopper and she is combative.......I am going to say diabetic??? What is her blood sugar right now? I bet it is non-existant...or...reaction to medication or drug of some sort. ??? Ok, back to the video!!! Bummer, I guess we never know....

IN MY VIEW
The Coast Guard does not receive enough credit. Each one is a hero.
you guys Rock...from a U. S. Paratrooper. Strike Hold!

I started binge watching this show yesterday on your channel. Thanks for the uploads!

the cape caution brings back such good memories when deadlist catch was in its prime
I thought that name sounded familiar
You guys have such a high pressure dangerous job, it is wonderful to see all of you having some well deserved fun!
Thank you coast guard's for always being there when there's someone that needs help keep up the good work 😊👍 God blessed all of you and keep you all safe 🙏
Hello. Thank you for your service CG, Be safe out there people
That was a smooth pickup! They’re both moving an just drops a basket on deck, and away they go! Impressive stuff
They weren’t moving. The helo was moving correctively, but the ship was at all stop.

Damn those guys have the most beautiful scenery to work in!
These men are everything.
Men and women
Now it's time for coffee 🤣 give this man some coffee he deserves it.
It seems like the whole crew is very protective of the Swimmers
The swimmers risk their necks but their crew isn’t going to put them at a unnecessary risk. They’re very protective of one another in general.
Another good day at the office! 💙🇺🇸🌎 thank you USCG for our safety and our freedom

They dont charge you for anything. They don’t want to scare people into not calling for gelp
wonder if Bill cranked the heat up to get rid of the coast guard quicker this time
"The vast....Alaskan wilderness..." sounds like Rod Serling, " Imagine....if you will...." LOLOLOL LOVE YOU GUYS!
To me it sounds like Alan Alda taking the micky

the video said that Alaska is a dangerous place but some people don't see the beauty Isn't it the other way around?
Common tech support on display there.
"It won't work."
"Did you plug it in?"
"....no."
Elfin cove! I’ve been there!
The Cape Caution was on Deadliest Catch
yes it was then wild bill bought his own boat called the summer bay
If I woke up and saw big guys in orange suits pulling me into a helicopter I'd be relived. International sign you're being saved.
CAPE CAUTION was on Deadliest Catch wasn't it???
yes it was then wild bill bought his own boat called the summer bay
Elfin Cove is a familiar place.
A place where beauty is cloaked by danger?? That makes no sense to me. Shouldn’t it be danger cloaked by beauty?
Alaska is a beautiful place, but it's very dangerous. Some people don't see that danger.

Amen to the Coast Guard hey meant everybody for Me Maybe to the Coast Guard aim and everybody around
What lol
You lost me after the first 5 words.
I just had a seizure trying to read this....How does this guy even unlock his phone, let alone find the youtube app??
Has anyone asked why they have steam shooting around in the cockpit of the 60 sometimes?
I wondered that too, lol! Maybe condensation from the heater?
I’m just an RN, so 🤷🏼♀️
It can get quite hot in there, just like your car during a hot day.... so cooling effect? Quite possible to be from the heater too.
Notice it big-time in the Florida episodes. I just presumed it was the A.C. and possibly the heat in Alaska
That woman on the cruise ship she had a seizure right?
From the look it may have been that from possible drug withdrawals, at least in my experience
Most likely a blood sugar issue, although stroke and seizure are highly possible as well. I would not jump to drug use as a commonality with her age group and socio-economic standing.

You should be a coast guard flight doc, I am sure your skills would be appreciated.
E S was that sarcasm or you being serious?
102 IS a high fever.
Leslie Dye not for young kids. Plus that was not my point at all.
You cant have a febrile seizure unless the temp is high. Thats the febrile part.
I hate the chopper sound effects they add.. it’s dumb.
