Watch as volunteer lifeboat crew member Killian O'Kelly reacts to some of the roughest stormy sea rescues in the RNLI's history, and shares his expert insight into how the brave lifeboat crews and lifeguards were able to save lives in these conditions.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. 95% of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 242 beaches, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning.
If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

I don't know how they do this, I certainly can't/wouldn't. They are heroes the lot of them

[@feathershed]

Very interesting to hear an expert speak about the difficult challenges of their job.

Every respect for these men, how do they feel about the crews down south being used as taxis, a lot of people feel very strong about this.
