You got to admit the Napali Coast is one of the most breathtaking natural wonders to meet your demise

I took a zodiac to that side of the island. It was fascinating. There are caves with beaches. There is a mini harbor surrounded by lava. You go through a cave and it opens up so you can see the sky. There is a coral island in the center. There is an arch that a crazy pilot flew through for a movie called Acapulco Gold.

It would help if the aircraft had floats. There aren't many places to make an emergency landing on Na Pali coast. Glad to see Jeremy covering this story.

Yeah, but don’t tell em that.. it’s too much too fast..

I know how to save people.. ~ Helicopters dropping float lines, ie thin para cords on bueys.. Each copter can lay a mile of thread the when yanked on, could indicate a survivor.
