This is ridiculous. She is a liar and an embarrassment. The pilot was doing right to save this couple. the assistant chief should be fired right along with her
How safe was it to drag the man through the river instead of letting him get a ride with a pilot that was able to deliver his wife safely. Honestly, no common sense. What heart Jordan and other private rescuers showed. No time for pride mr. fire chief.
Power. They don't want to loose what little power or control they have. Someone stepping up and doing good cannot be tolerated by power hungry officials.
Did everyone see the assistant fire chief that wasn't available open the door half-way through the interview. He is CLEARLY a control freak and has no backbone, sending someone else to front for his complete lack of real leadership and understanding pf the situation..
The assistant chief has had no training himself. None of them have the training this is an event that has never happened in this region. So shut your mouth and let these pilots save lives. To hell with them. This guys and his son are the type of people we need more of. Heros in my book.
The problem is that WE the people are in charge. NOT these "officials" who threaten jail. We DO NOT need these fkn people's permission to help our brothers and sisters at any point, much less at times of extreme need. This is why the country moves closer and closer to civil war each day that passses. Cowards, threaten you with jail for helping and We listen. It's sad.
So, the asst fire chief was going to arrests the pilot? "Go ahead and snap the cuffs on me" would be my response. Then along comes the court case for kidnapping, assault and a host of other violations. He does not have arrest authority [to the best of my knowledge.]
So glad the couple was united. Ass fire chief was mad. Poor ass fire chief. Pull your head out of your ass, ass. This private pilot was risking his life to do YOUR job
Ridiculous. The government or any official aren't helping us, it's on us to help and save on another in these messed up times. I would've said scew them and their threat, and keep rescuing people, fight it in court how screwed up that was. 🤷
Did you see the dude opened the door behind the woman. He opened the door, looked in and closed the door!!! He was there hiding behind this chick like the coward he is
It wasn't about saving people. It was about control and power. The "officials" had no control over the pilot and wanted to be able to command him. Days after, they were able to command pilots and then allowed them to help. Just ridiculous. It doesn't matter who is there first to help. Everyone and anyone is a first responder who is there to help. The whole first responder thing is a brain washed idea that makes people think only certain people can be called first responders. Everyone else are volunteers who help the responders. First responders, in their eyes, are the ones in power and who give commands.
This nut was throwing his weight around.All concern's should have been worked out then and there and pilot released to return and help.The lady was protecting her job only that's called a (Yes Man) no coordination what so ever.Have not seen a press release from the Carolinas Gov yet!
As this suck that a volunteer rescuer was treated so poorly. The first couple of days is always going to be chaotic. With communications being down, rescuers handling the logistics of sending out help and supplies and also organizing influx of donations and volunteers there can get some miscommunications. The pilot shouldnt have been treated so poorly but there could be something we are missing of the situation as well
So, if the man had drowned while crossing the debris filled water when he could have been flown out safely, or broken his leg while hiking through the debris left on the hillside, I wonder what their response would have been. The pilot believes he should have gone ahead and taken the guy. I know in hindsight he realizes that, but what is done is done. However, others can see what happened in this incident and know how to handle it in the future. And that's the one good thing that came from this. It may save someone's life in the future.
i understand the side of the fire officials because if you just go there to help your gonna get in the way of their operations, its for safety. however when your in the middle of a rescue you shouldnt ever be threatened with arrest. the question i have is since the rescue pilot became known its crazy the official rescue command couldnt work with pilot and its not even hard to do
That is complete bullshit. Just because you aren’t certified in a specific area that doesn’t mean you haven’t gained that experience through life experience. Some of the most helpful have been the least trained. God forbid your department can’t take credit.
"Go through the correct chain of command to be authorized to be here" AND "Well It interrupted operations of the people who were there from the national and state and local operations." FEMA wasn't there and here is a video of the 101st Airborne who showed up on October 8th delivering food to houses and neighborhoods obviously NOT DAMAGED. \th-cam.com/video/YYI-tFjNqd0/w-d-xo.html He was working on the 29th of SEPTEMBER. Like this city manager had a streamlined operation running on the 29th.
She is redirecting the issue. They were not being reasonable threatening arrest when someone is waiting for him to come back for him. So being without the ability to reason means you are too stupid to be in leadership role.
I think the lady should reaign as well. People that working together to rescue ppl what do you really thinks going to happen? Other parts of Carolina had private helicopters working with government agencies including national guard and FEMA. In the original story he said he had radio frequencys for there rescue efforts. The chief told dude to leave his son yet allow another elderly man. They didnt rescue him they put his life in more danger by having him cross a still raging river. The brain dead woman there along with fire chief should be force to resign.
This lady needs to learn the first rule of holes. Sometimes it's best to just admit you screwed up and apologize and promise to learn from the mistake. Did she really think she'd go out and convince people that this guy posed such a risk to operations that it justified leaving a man stranded on the mountain? Once he dropped off the wife, they knew about him, so you can't exactly say they couldn't coordinate around him safely. A guy shows up with a helicopter ready to save lives. A competent person would have let him complete his mission, help get him registered with the correct authorities, then work him into the operation.
I understand this chief if this poilot had crashed going back for the husband they would have blamed the chief. The chief is doing a hard job and sometimes people can make it harder how many people have they rescued yet you spent time to tape this
iTs nOt tHaT wE'Re tUrNiNg aWaY hELp Actually, you literally did. Further, you risked a man's life dragging him across a river when you could have literally let him be airlifted to safety. You should all be fired.
This Was NOT the Only incident of it's kind!!! Much help is being turned away Deliberately!!!
This is ridiculous. She is a liar and an embarrassment. The pilot was doing right to save this couple. the assistant chief should be fired right along with her
I imagine their families received priority rescue prior to throwing their "power" around. Stupid!!
Fire this woman and the chief. Absolutely no compassion or common sense.
How safe was it to drag the man through the river instead of letting him get a ride with a pilot that was able to deliver his wife safely. Honestly, no common sense. What heart Jordan and other private rescuers showed. No time for pride mr. fire chief.
@@caseyglenar7268 he could have been considered a hero if he started telling the pilot where people were at
I would risk arrest and sue!
If people are saveing people leave them alone they are trying to help
This is outrageous.
Why are our government and services full of morons?
Harris voters....
it's on purpose.
Evil just evil to turn that pilot away!!
Power. They don't want to loose what little power or control they have. Someone stepping up and doing good cannot be tolerated by power hungry officials.
How can they so easily say "communication is down" and "go through the proper channels" in the same argument?
Since when does it become against the law to save lives ?
Since idiot bureaucrats stuck their nose in
Who gives a fuck if they weren’t authorized it’s about saving people.
Olivia and this quack fire chief aught to be fired and lose their pension. What gross incompetence!!!
anyone stopping a rescue effort should be arrested and jailed
This lady. The assistant fire chief n fire chief need to FIRED
Control freaks, ungrateful, unthankful and quite frankly wicked, flat sickening.
Did everyone see the assistant fire chief that wasn't available open the door half-way through the interview. He is CLEARLY a control freak and has no backbone, sending someone else to front for his complete lack of real leadership and understanding pf the situation..
Seen that ridiculous mustache lmao
When are people going to wake up and understand that this country is for the people not the government. The government has too much control.
The assistant chief has had no training himself. None of them have the training this is an event that has never happened in this region. So shut your mouth and let these pilots save lives. To hell with them. This guys and his son are the type of people we need more of. Heros in my book.
This woman is a perfect bureaucrat. Too stupid for the public sector.
There's no way I would have left that man!!! Put me in jail after ! But I would have brought that man back!
Typical overreach by govt.😢
The problem is that WE the people are in charge. NOT these "officials" who threaten jail. We DO NOT need these fkn people's permission to help our brothers and sisters at any point, much less at times of extreme need. This is why the country moves closer and closer to civil war each day that passses. Cowards, threaten you with jail for helping and We listen. It's sad.
This woman is lying out of her teeth!😂. Her and the chief needs to be fired!
Olivia- you could resigned versus defending idiocy.
Who are those officials? Who are they working for? This America, we save our own. We don't stop! WE are Americans, who are they?
This is what happens when small men are allowed big egos.
Chris Melton peaks in at 9:43, Embarrassing behavior with no accountability
I hope the cat's were rescued and are safe.
The wife took the cats with her when she was flown out. You can see their tails in the background during the interview.
Here's how you react in the face of morons: Ignore them and carry on.
I loathe that woman. You should follow protocol cause we need to seem more important and helpful than we are.
So, the asst fire chief was going to arrests the pilot? "Go ahead and snap the cuffs on me" would be my response. Then along comes the court case for kidnapping, assault and a host of other violations. He does not have arrest authority [to the best of my knowledge.]
So glad the couple was united. Ass fire chief was mad. Poor ass fire chief. Pull your head out of your ass, ass. This private pilot was risking his life to do YOUR job
@ 9:43 that bone head fire chief pokes his head thru the door!!
We're from the govt and we're here to help. 😒
This is Not an isolated incident!
I'm sorry but this sounds like b.s.! Everyone that wants to help should be allowed to help.
Ridiculous.
The government or any official aren't helping us, it's on us to help and save on another in these messed up times.
I would've said scew them and their threat, and keep rescuing people, fight it in court how screwed up that was. 🤷
At 9:40 that was the fire chief that peeked through the door lmao 🤣🤣
Did you see the dude opened the door behind the woman. He opened the door, looked in and closed the door!!! He was there hiding behind this chick like the coward he is
Its not that they were turning away help... they were threatening help with arrest.
That chief has no authority... 🤦
Government! Federal, state, or local 🖕🏻
That interview is so sad as how she answered and respond. Fire her
It wasn't about saving people. It was about control and power. The "officials" had no control over the pilot and wanted to be able to command him. Days after, they were able to command pilots and then allowed them to help. Just ridiculous. It doesn't matter who is there first to help.

Everyone else are volunteers who help the responders. First responders, in their eyes, are the ones in power and who give commands.
That fire assistant peaked in side the room. you know he had his ear up to the door after that. The girl has no clue wth shes talking about.
This nut was throwing his weight around.All concern's should have been worked out then and there and pilot released to return and help.The lady was protecting her job only that's called a (Yes Man) no coordination what so ever.Have not seen a press release from the Carolinas Gov yet!

The pilot shouldnt have been treated so poorly but there could be something we are missing of the situation as well
Interrupted operations? Because there isn’t enough to go around? 👏🏻 okay (Mrs. Harris)
Typical bullshit government response they should have requested private help from the get go
I think we all know Who that Fire Lunatic is voting for in November. Soooo Obvious..
So, if the man had drowned while crossing the debris filled water when he could have been flown out safely, or broken his leg while hiking through the debris left on the hillside, I wonder what their response would have been. The pilot believes he should have gone ahead and taken the guy. I know in hindsight he realizes that, but what is done is done. However, others can see what happened in this incident and know how to handle it in the future. And that's the one good thing that came from this. It may save someone's life in the future.
So were they going to shoot the helicopter down if he went to get the husband?
The Mayor fire chief and town manager need to be sued and jailed for gross human rights violations
Agreed. 👍🏼

Stupidity rules when you're in office.
Lmao volunteer firefighter.

Fire department has no authority to arrest shit.
Crimes against humanity….
He should be fired and never allowed to work as a first responder again..
