    Simply because the USCG is not necessarily combat oriented they're often forgotten as a branch of our military but these guys have pulled my fat out of the fire on 2 separate occasions and they deserve so much more recognition than they get...as far as respect goes I hold them in the the absolute highest regard!!

      Its funny you say that because Navy and Coast Guard rescue swimmers up until recently went through the exact same rescue swimmer school after aircrew can school and even roomed together in the same room in the BEQ. One of my instructors was Coast Guard. However i would be wrong in saying that in the fleet it is also the same. Navy swimmers for the most part are crewman and the rescue swimmer part is secondary. Has it turns out there isnt that many planes going down in the ocean for us to get the call that often but when it does you need someone that knows how. Coast Guard primary mission is just that to pull people out that need help. Drunk surfer, folks on vacation, olympic swimmer with a cramp or a 747 that crashed in the ocean. No matter time or weather they will come for you but if all this occured in the past its a decent chance that coast guard rescue swimmer partner pushing that concrete block across the bottom of the pool was in the Navy. Just saying

      Adrian Woodard, a 747 doesn’t just crash into the ocean. I’m an aviation enthusiast and I know that it does happen. But when it happens it’s not a controlled landing, even if it is it will most of the time end up in fiery catastrophe scene. No pilot who has enough control of the plane to ditch the plane would ditch it on water unless they’re running out of fuel or something with no other options.
      TL;DR
      No plane would land there with good control, most likely ending in an explosion like ‘landing’.

    Lived and commercial fished in Kodiak since 1974 and I can tell you that we lost so many young men and women but when the Coast Guard made it---they have saved hundreds of lives...including the 6 crew of the Odyssey, October 1984...my husband and 5 others who thought they were "dead" and began to load the pots with buoys so that their bodies would be found..they thought no one had heard them, no one ansered the may day...and then the C-130 flew "low and slow" the powerful plane that can get close to the ocean, and dropped flares -- and then the helicopter and rescue swimmer showed up-saved 6 men in that one.....Whenever I hear them going over, I run outside to look at the J-Hawk or the C-130...Heros they are...all of them

Then after searching the gangways and pushing forth through heavy flames, he’d ripped open a steel door. All bare handed. Saved the oil rig workers. Then as helicopter took off a second floor 10,000 Tonnes pontoon was collapsing so he’d stayed back to brace his body against It’s supports. He’d held it there. Chopper flew off to safety.

      I think the basket was stuck so he made the helicopter go down so the basket would jolt up and in

      What was happening was the Pilot was bumping down the hoist cable via a switch he has on his flt controls up front in the cockpit. The helo hoist system could have experienced a malfunction of some sort (which was mentioned the cable was fraying if that was the first helo) or the Flt Mechanic running the hoist was not able to lower the hoist cable once the basket was inside the helo. He should of had a hand held, remote pendant to operate the hoist unless he was in a situation where he could not use it.

    This is the toughest job on earth. I can't image jumping out of a helicopter with 50-100 foot waves blowing wind and the cold. Alaskan crab fishing has nothing on these guys.

    How was the hoist able to maintain its structural integrity with his big brass balls?

    There are so many times we see the bad side of human nature. These guys's job is to show the best side at all times.
