Coast Guard rescue from Carnival Cruise Ship near Puerto Rico

[@perriwenplays9215]

I like how the swimmer gave everyone a wave before climbing on board. Goes to show the caliber of people in the Coast Guard that they're still able to be lighthearted and friendly in such a stressful situation.

[@dcpack]

Yes, while the flight mech was working.

[@donschwartz1118]

A truly under appreciated branch of the armed forces.

Great piloting - the ship was still (barely) underway, pretty brisk wind AND the chopper was attached to the ship by the stretcher guideline. Nice job to all concerned!

+Tom Foyle the nsa is for covert warfare

[@dcpack]

At no time were they "attached" to the ship. That is a very bad idea.

[@gugabrasa]

Professionalism and expertise. Great job!

Having done this back in the 80's, I have always wished i could have seen some of the hundreds of photos of our hoisting that were taken.

This reminds me of the time during career day back on the first day of June 2001, when I watched it land in the back school yard during career day when I was in third grade

Puerto Rico is blessed to have the USCG protecting the island's coasts and the FBI protecting the people from corrupt politicians.

[@Mlowfish]

Yea having our own bases for protection of Puerto Rico by the USCG is truly a blessing from the US themselves and us Puerto Rican s

Semper Paratus!

Wonder what the insurance company said when they got billed. ??

[@tracemitchell2093]

Curtas Ology I’m guessing nothing since the coastguard is free. The ambulance is when money started being counted.

If you want to know if cruises are boring… here’s your answer!

[@Sukiipod]

USCG never charges for rescue … they are rescuers not billers … the ambulance and hosp will def be billed

[@silntstl]

The USCG isn’t a private company.

[@tomperkins5657]

Turned out to be an enlarged prostrate. Know the feeling...

[@degenetron7590]

Rest in peace that guy's life savings

[@evans13_09]

The Coast Guard is free of charge.

[@degenetron7590]

@@evans13_09 youre right mb, good for him

[@silntstl]

It always surprised me how many people we have transported that they thought they were getting charged a bill. My answer was always the same, “ your taxes already paid for it”.

[@dcpack]

I certainly would have been happy to accept a tip if ethical. Unlike congressmen and Biden, we never got rich doing the job we were paid for.

[@Crimson_Thief007]

This is why the coast guard should be seperate from the military, the other armed forces protect companies intrest. The coast guard protects citizens.

[@johna3357]

Evan Price that's a ridiculous statement

[@tracemitchell2093]

I guess the guard is just hot garbage to you when they do rescues inland? Because it usually isn’t the coast guard rescuing people off mountains.

[@Tarheel13]

What a ignorant statement.

[@straightpride442]

Served 28 years in military. Never knew I was protecting ‘companies intrest’ .

CARNIVAL SHIPS ARE DIRTY AND CHEAP ASS HELL..GROSS
