I found the book in my school library and checked it out, awesome book. So happy everyone survived.

I've read this book it was so godd!! I would be afraid to try this but you were brave!

‘sup?~thank you!amazing ! have a good day!)

Where is rhis i live in Joplin I need places to fish

Great book! What an amazing rescue, you are all hero’s!

Thank God for our courageous men and women of the USCG! I have always been fascinated by the Coasties since childhood, now 55 years later I read and watch anything and everything about them. On my bucket lists is to go on one of their cutters to observe a mission. Thank you for your service and God bless you, United States Coast Guard..❤ Billy King Hastings Nebraska

No audio?

Gorgeous strip pit. Great job filming, too. What pit # is that one?

There was 3 survivors

Extraordinary video. The fact that you recorded it too? I have always been fond of meteorology and seeing the name of the book spiked my interest. I am very glad I read it. My heart goes out to you, and fellow coast guard members. I hope nothing this horrific ever happens again.

Just finishing the book now. Truly amazing, thank you for all you do! Extraordinary skill, stamina and bravery! PS: Happy July 4th!

Just finished the book as well. Riveting. After weeks of mass shootings and appalling political shenanigans it's good to hear about the real heroes in our world.

Thats gonna be me in a year, last year of middle school and than high-school doing JROTC

I just finished this book a few minutes ago as I am writing this comment, and I respect you and your crew for saving the 3 men. Good job.

Amazing video. USCG hero’s all. Well done!

I just finished the book and it would be great if someone came out with a movie of this story

You're darn right she deserved some Quatro's! I don't know what you think, but it looks like it may have gotten a little more narrow since the last time I was there. That 90 degree turn is a horror show. Uphill, on damp slimy rocks while trying to make a right angle turn....it's not for the faint of heart. Or the broad of belly.

One of the survivor s is my head chef x

Just read the book. Absolutely amazing and I was on the edge of my seat! Glad you guys were rescued!

i love the book

Thank you much for the aerial footage Google maps isn't helping for map study for our tournament next week

This was very interesting and well done. It deserves many more views than it has. I found it by following the link to Nevada Smith's KZbin site from the video "10 second ride up 70 foot wave". Initially I hadn't understood that Nevada Smith was the gentleman who took that video and that he was the Captain of the helicopter. That was explained by watching the KZbin video "A Storm Too Soon" which N Smith mentions in this video. It was a lecture given by the author of the book. It also is very good, it doesn't merely repeat the book, he explains other things including how he was helped to write it by the people involved. I would very much recommend watching it.

If you go to the KZbin video titled: A Storm too Soon, there is a talk by the author of the book which is very interesting. There's also a longer clip of this same video (taken by the helicopter captain Nevada Smith) at the youtube video called: Rescue of Sean Seymour II crew. Watching the men come into the helicopter is something else, the expressions on their faces. All these gentlemen are just beyond imagining. I can't imagine being both this capable and brave.

my only question is how. just how.

LOL I couldn't even see the life raft watching it the first time, especially since watching it on you tube and it's mostly black and white. Distracted by the wipers, l was thinking they were calling the ship the life raft. And l'm thinking, 'this ain't a life raft! click bait! But then l read the comments and looked again. This is hard to imagine! I would 've had a heart attack just looking up at that monster!!! Roller coasters will be no big deal for these guys after this experience!!!!

Sir, as a Canadian Citizen I would like to thank you, and your crew for rescuing one of our own. Thank you, your crew and the crew of the HC-130. Godspeed.

Damn good thing that swell did not break.

That would freak me out

As someone who has done plenty of offshore boating both on sail and power that is terrifying.

God was with all of you this entire journey. Believe it.

That is a TERRIFYING WAVE.. and to be in a life raft! But lets take out collective hats off for the people in the helicopter, who are risking their lives for two complete strangers! bravo you brave souls!

Wow. That's really puts the raging sea into perspective. What a beautiful yet terrifying scene

ithought this was done at night this looks like daytime to me owell they still dod a great job

Waiting for Some weirdo to comment: Who got this recommended after 8 years.

Since it is very difficult to spot the raft, it would be helpful if you could circle it towards the beginning of the video so that people can find it readily.

Been at sea much of my life and never have seen anything close to that and never want too. Wow. They just missed the breaking crests.

Kinda gives you more empathy for the "PerfectStorm" crew.

wow

If I was in the raft it would have sunk from all the poo I made in my pants.

"Thossse aren't mountainsss....they're wavessss..."

thats not from a boat ????

If that was me I would have no shit left to shit!

No perspective on this

No sound?

Wow!!! That's the stuff of nightmares. The US Coast Guard saved them!?! Amazing save, guys. Wow.

You're heading right for the middle of the monsta! 🥺
