Pretty cool responding & onscene catches. Quite rare to get RNLI responding! ;) Also nice seeing the HART vehicles there. How-ever I wonder why London Fire Brigade didn't attend! Thought they'd have sent a Rescue Unit/Pump and a boat. Here that's a boat, and one or two Rescue Pumps minimum. Second ever person to get a '16 reg Met car btw! ;)

[@olliemyhill2409]

Lfb in case the guy in the water caught fire

[@CobraEmergency]

Yes of course - it's easy for persons to self ignite upon entering water.

[@theemeraldgo-kart8903]

+CobraEmergencyVideos lol XD

[@captured911]

Awesome footage, well done!

[@ozzy2426]

watched not even a minute of this then had to stop it as I couldn't do with the camera shaking about like it was in a washermachine

[@catlover4971]

So many ambulance vehicles for one casualty

[@TS112Video]

Great vid its a shame I didn't decide to go to London today I would of probably caught this what time was this?

[@whodar3swins]

2:25 that ambulance has a flatty

[@whodar3swins]

haha

[@mortgagewizard40]

might be a run flat, but looking at that, it cant run much further if it is lol. Must say superb flying of that air ambulance,,

[@whodar3swins]

lol I think it hit the kurb

[@rebeccapoole8387]

aaronisloan nbvggvnjjbbb

[@sharonah-tow5316]

Wouldn't want that coming for me if I was having a heart attack

[@UrgencesGeneve]

Nice footage as usual 😉

[@mishtysikder6429]

Yes I love police,ambulance,fire truck,and air police ,air ambulance they are amaizimg 😍😍😍😎

[@patmcdermott4832]

Sometimes the 999 caller(s) don't give accurate information and/or are not sure of the number of casualties involved. Emergency services act on the information they are given which may account for the large emergency presence shown here. As no detailed facts were given with the video, which only stated 1person in the river, it could actually have involved more than 1 casualty, or have been reported as more than 1, but in the end only 1 needed the HEMS helicopter. Resources in London are stretched so I find it hard to believe that so many units responded unless deemed appropriate from the initial information given. (ex-Met.)

[@ce9934]

Pat McDermott HEMS typically do get sent to drownings as they can clear the persons airway and give general anaesthesia to control their breathing

[@HMSDaring1]

That is an unexpectedly large amount of vehicles for a person in the water, I thought perhaps 2 ambulances and RNLI. I guess it shows how seriously it must be taken. Kudos to HEMS as well. Then you get idiots like that "prankster" who thought it's funny to jump off Tower Bridge into the Thames. ps. that LAS Skoda Octavia has got a flat tyre :/

[@arrivapaul5060]

I noticed that haha

[@flightking2768]

Its the advanced trauma paramedics car:/

[@jamiebrown8175]

HMSDaring1 omg

[@rickansell661]

Sadly its pretty common. Tower Lifeboat (RNLI) averages more than one callout a day. 521 in 2017. Not all are to Person in the Water, many are Person Likely to Enter Water and similar but even so thats a LOT of people in the water.

[@InspireWire]

WOW!

[@patmcdermott4832]

Also the police van BV16UXW shown at 2:58 has what looks like a HEMS crew member (in orange suit) in passenger seat probably taking him back to the helicopter as van is seen at 3:06 alongside the helicopter.

[@sxetechie51666]

Anyone else notice the flat tire on the ambulance services vehicle at 2:30 ? they won't be going anywhere fast...

[@BritishEmergency]

+QuiGonQuinn Must have gotten a puncture enroute

[@flightking2768]

Thats on the advanced trauma paramedics car as well:/

[@jamesdavison7847]

[@bendavis6784]

[@robnewman6101]

21st Century Rescue.

[@061zgz]

Awesome. A lo of emergency vehicles. What happened¿

[@exzamiic]

Read the title?

[@fnafthoeryistsfnaffans2921]

How did u know that all of them were going for the man???

[@sleepingat10]

Did the person survive?

[@mishtysikder6429]

I don’t think so 😞😞

[@aloevera74]

Are you sure all of that FOR ONE PERSON???...wow

[@derekchapman6159]

Why so many people just for one person. ?

[@robnewman6101]

Action Stations.

[@rickansell661]

Don't know the date of this rescue, but this occured a week before it was posted. Tower RNLI chalk up another sucess, but it was a VERY close thing. rnli.org/news-and-media/2017/may/25/man-five-seconds-away-from-drowning-rescued-by-rnli-london-lifeboat-crew

[@SamW1337]

2:58 - hems doc or paramedic in the police car

[@terenchion1]

must be an exercise unless prince andrew fell in chasing a 17yr old........lol

[@finnmacfirbhisigh1100]

Are several ambulances needed for one man?

[@AR-ei3fs]

Treatment

[@gary63693]

wheres the virgin air ambulance?

[@ce9934]

gary63693 virgin stopped sponsoring London’s air ambulance in 2012 so they repainted it

[@theemeraldgo-kart8903]

how did t1he person get in ?

[@theemeraldgo-kart8903]

+ Luke Twyman didnt mean to put 1 in lol

[@Luketaylor93]

Took much resources get mobilised

[@reecethegreat9983]

Luketaylor93 this was for a famous person. Normally they'd just send a pcso who can do CPR.

[@kevmorris9441]

What a waste of resources for unconfirmed reports even with confirmed it was overkill and waste of tax payers money

[@thethreemusketeers-funnydo3571]

You took long enough to get to the point in this video. Boring to watch.
