If i remember correct during this the rescue swimmer from the dolphin stayed in the water so the heli could take one more survivor.. Great rescue overall

[@Chill_Deen]

I wanna be an AMT for the CSG so bad

[@STRIKER2721]

I just saw this on t.v. too. It was a remarkable story. I would like to say congrats for this remarkable rescue. I would also like to say sorry for your loss to the families of the fallen. I hope the fallen will rest in peace.

The book is BS. I used to work on the Ranger and the Juris. There is a lot of effort put into those boats maintenance.

Say hi to your dad for me.. Peace...

From my understanding, the ship blew it's radiator and the lower decks completely flooded with hot antifreeze. which caused the ship to sink.

Kudos to Captain Scott Krey of the Alaskan Warrior

[@luisanadavid]

I was a seamen on the CGC Munro. I was on the flight deck guiding the basket of survivors down and getting them out onto the deck. Still remember this day like yesterday

[@philwaldron]

@Zeb by using a grounding wand (a.k.a. “Deadman’s stick”) attached to the ship or boat by a wire rope, which is touched to the basket as it comes down.

Im actually shipping out june 6th to cape may, nj for basic training. Im hoping to become an AST (rescue swimmer). Ive been wanting to do it ever since i was a kid. I have a question however and anyone can answer if they can. I know that these waters are unbelievably cold so do rescue swimmers wear any kind of special clothing (suits) to keep them "warm"?
