This is the only one of these stories that actually made me cry. These men are true heroes.

[@RodneyGmusic]

100% agree

[@purplespaceship2417]

Some of the very few members of the military who I could actually look in the eye and thank for their service. These people risk their lives in unbelievable conditions to save the innocent and there's no more noble mission than that.

[@privatepracticepsychologis4115]

The tears are streaming … I always say ‘ego kills’ … Captain Dave you were ego-LESS, self-LESS and the epitome of a human hero … YOU are a LEGEND … your colleagues survived because of your UNRELENTING FOCUS & DETERMINATION and selflessness … My heart breaks for Rick but what you say is profound … ‘there are things we do so that others may live’ EXTRAORDINARY …. We SALUTE YOU. UNFORGETTABLE

[@ShadowCatGold2006]

I know this was almost 33 years ago now, but I'm so glad these mens' stories are being told. It was also talked about in the book The Perfect Storm, but hearing the crew describing it in their own words is something entirely different. All of them were heroes. Dave was an amazing leader. My heart hurts for Rick's wife and daughters. I know these first responders and their families accept the risk when they choose to serve in this capacity, but actually losing one's life in that service is still heartbreaking.

[@jessiedickey]

Some of the bravest men that serve our country ty for your service.

[@mirzamay]

Rip Rick 🙇‍♀️. Respect and gratitude to those selfless individuals.

[@BanditBandito-db8tp]

why did you spoil the video? what is wrong with you? people like you should be banned from making comments, the absolute worse of the worse are people like you.

[@sophial3339]

To those who risk their lives to save others in these kinds of missions-Thank you for being so selfless and so brave. Most people are not as selfless and brave as you in this planet. You are true hero’s of our world. Respect to all of you

[@mr.18s73]

Wow what a story! My respect to our military and first responders ❤ Best episode yet

[@meggold3422]

I don't think I blinked for most of this episode. Overwhelming odds. Everything about this should have spelled nothing but total disaster for everyone involved. I bet it was a very long night for that guy in his yacht. My heart is so broken for Rick's family. I'm in awe of Dave. His faith, leadership, and extraordinary bravery and strength was almost superhuman. The fact that another helicopter and a small ship were sent out in those conditions made my jaw stay wide open. God bless first responders. Wow.

[@RossNaylor-uq4jp]

I didn't realise how hooked I was to this episode until I noticed your comment and nearly an hour has just passed 😮 brilliant episode so sad that someone lost their life trying to save another I've had my own personal rescue and been on saving life's at sea I'm lucky to be here thanks to the brave people at the r.n.l.i they are so brave and do a job they don't get paid for we are lucky to have people who are so selfless thank you all for your service to us

[@DallasLongIsMySon]

Gosh what a great episode! I always wonder what happens to the rescue team when they go on their missions. They are so brave and selfless! This is a reminder that every time we go on adventures, and things don't go as planned, there are people who are risking their lives to save other people's lives.

[@XerxesGK]

😊😊

[@danielwelker1286]

It's very humbling when others are putting their lives on the line to save Yours ❤

[@Dahmer_Jeff]

I'd expect someone to save me. It's literally their job 😂

[@wellidk556]

I do it every day.... saving people's lives. The worst part is that no one's ever great full for more than a couple of days. Then they just go right back to their same old selfs and continue to show why we as human don't deserve life. I would go as far as to say that only about 5% of this world deserves real happiness. 95% of people shouldn't be alive😢 and if you think I'm saying I do deserve life, you're dead wrong. I'm an ungrateful pos just like everyone else...

[@sophritoh]

@@wellidk556grateful** That’s a sad outlook :/ are you a nurse? How do you save lives every single day?

[@TrpleAgnt2011]

​@@wellidk556 I think you're right, people forget to be grateful and really think about how desperate they were when they would beg for assistance. But knowing that as you do is no excuse to act the same. (I like your 5 per cent , wish it were higher though!)

[@dianapatterson449]

I am so sad that Rick had to die. His poor wife and kids. Tears running down my face.

That pilot is a rare breed, wow well done sir!!

[@patriotpeasant199]

Rescue teams such as these have gotta be the most altruistic people on earth!! Absolutely risking their lives for others ❤

[@Ifyoudontknownowuknow]

Definitely Top 5!! I still have 76 days at Sea #1 and the dumb So Cal hikers dead last lol. Ocean survival is always the Best!

[@gregtrust5599]

Nothing with ever top 76 days adrift! This was a hell of an episode though

[@Ifyoudontknownowuknow]

​@gregtrust5599 Right!! 76 is just unreal!! (That was the first one I ever saw just a couple weeks ago and I been watching episodes everyday since then lol)

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

​@@Ifyoudontknownowuknowthis & the guys that fell in the crevasse are my two favorite episodes. This was my second time watching this one.

[@thecynic9232]

I know this story well … it is included in the book The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. Incredible story, incredible book. A must read for lovers of nautical disasters, weather etc. ❤️🇨🇦

[@kyleejane872]

Broke my heart at the thought about the dog. It is not silly they are family too. ❤ 🐾 What an amazing story and i havent finished yet!

[@inipin510]

All these men are heroes. And dave`s the superhero.

[@lainthor5808]

My two biggest fear deep sea and height! Those men have got balls of steels to go out there while I'm lying on my comfort bed and watching this. Goddamn !

[@Joski3TV]

You know it’s Friday when we get a good video like this

[@Dahmer_Jeff]

I seen this one years ago. It's a re upload 😂

[@josephdjan7500]

its so incredible both the chopper and ship could find them at dark that far out in the ocean in a storm like that

[@Vhampyre]

YAAAAAAAY!!! more more more ! i cant get enough , these storys are insane! people are incredible under these circumstances cant even imagine ....

[@luciemarinov129]

Stories, not storys😂😂😂

[@Vhampyre]

@@luciemarinov129 xD oops

[@curtispandachuk9323]

It’s pretty damn scary when unrelenting sharks become the least of your worries out in the open ocean

[@purplespaceship2417]

I imagine during storms like this sea creatures stay as deep under the water as possible so little risk of sharks. After all they can swim thousands of feet deep.

[@nubialondon3458]

Wow .. I am speechless. The bravery, courage and strength of these men is amazing.

[@Stormlucy111]

Heros all of them. What a dreadful thing to happen to anyone. ❤

Being stuck between almost certain death and a high probability of a death and no way out

[@Ghede888]

I was so happy to see that group of 3. My goodness. I love everything about the ocean, but I can't swim! It would have been a one and done for me. I would've said "well, it was a good run. Let me make my peace with my makers."

[@joemurgatroyd333]

Definitely the best one . Rip to soldier

[@curtispandachuk9323]

In Mexico, I was doing a little surfing and I got smacked by. I think like at least 10 foot waves. They threw me like I was a piece of paper. The power of water is gentle as it can be something else

[@tammyhollandsworth6783]

😢 horrible. I struggled watching this. These men really do wake up everyday with God on their mind. Thank you all for putting us first before yourselves. RIP for your friend. My heart goes out to the family and you all. ❤

Crying my eyes out ❤️ what an amazing story. Heros 🙏

[@ghoste2755]

I'll be honest, I was waiting for the point where they would say "The exact ship they were trying to rescue, came back to rescue them" but that never came, still a really impressive rescue R.I.P to Rick, died a hero 🙏🕊

[@Empress.420]

My heart breaks for Sgt. Rick and his families. 😢🙏🙏🙏💜 Brave heroes 👏 💪 strong warriors!! Much love and many blessings. #Salute 🫡 I felt like I was suffocating and was dam well tensed up throughout the whole episode. 😫🤦‍♀️ Had flash backs of when I was drowning. Felt like forever. Sheeesh.

yes Jim was a very right on guy, say NO when its no. He must have had to contend with guilty feelings too but he need not carry that one.

Men give their lives for yours. does anyone else see it as ungraciously as I do?

I wish they would have added the story of the sailor they were t to rescue &/or stories of others… make this a 2 or 3 parter.

[@michaelpcooksey5096]

I hope the family of Rick Smith is ok. Without a major breadwinner and a nice sized family ... the needs would not be small. On the other hand, Rick gave his life while trying to save others ... the Lord is loving ALL the time. ALL the time the Lord is loving. The family no doubt received grace from the father's sacrifice. God bless them all. Thank you for the video.

Why wouldn't there be some sort of tether to attach to the raft so it doesn't float off? Seems pretty stupid.

They are probably a big reason why helicopters dont go out in storms much anymore. Or at night time even. Very intense episode

They went to save a life,that life was saved,meanwhile they lost one of their own 😢😢😢. 4 little girls without a daddy 😢😢😢😢

[@clintguerrero2504]

5 guys go out in a cyclone in an aircraft that will definitely need refueling, in an attempt to save one man. They're unsuccessful at saving that man's life, and lose one of their own in the process. Tragic.
