US Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin Rescue Operation on a Cruise Ship

[@Abosh101]

Despite the different nationalities, respecting these people in the field of rescue, whether they are men or women, thank you for the service of humanity. ❤❤

The video description and the footage don't match. Description says Miami and the footage shows a crew out of Barbers Point in Hawaii and the all have the Hawaiian flag patch on their right sleeve. The helo even takes off from Barbers Point.

[@Apaola22]

Right hahahaha Miami doesn’t have mountains🤷‍♂️Florida is flat

[@ChrisRedding1]

The helo even has “Barbers Point” in bold letters right on the side 🤣

The audio is manufactured as well. While rain at Barber's Point HI is entirely possible (especially in the Winter months), having a downpour sound effect while the perfectly dry crew is doing a Dolphin pre-flight on a perfectly dry aircraft sitting on a perfectly dry apron is a head-scratcher to say the least.

Maryland state police used to use these and I loved seeing them in action.

[@7xshadowxerox7]

Why did they stop? What helicopter do they use now?

[@benjaminv.5662]

Every call is different,if it's on board a ship, it's more than what the on board personnel can handle,they usually call the USCG when a passenger needs more urgent care as far as landing on a ship, it's evaluated on a case by case basis, but the care remains the same.

Those search and rescue crewman must are just amazing

I always ask myself why the chopper doesn't just land on the ship. It's much more intuitive and involved than just putting the helo down on a helipad. Lots of things need to come together. Helipads on ships are designed to hold only a certain amount of weight. The USCG Dolphin is light enough for a landing. If this was a Jayhawk, the pad wouldn't be able to hold the weight of the helo. Additionally, you noticed that the ship was under way when they started the hoist of the swimmer to the deck, but they were in the process of coming to complete stop. A complete stop of the ship allows the helicopter crew to appropriately assess the winds and how the wind will react when it comes into contact with the ship. Putting the rescue swimmer down first allowed the crew to do several things: Clear the landing area of obstructions. Observe the winds. Analyze weather the ship would be pitching and rolling and if so, how much. Weather or not a landing would be a safe option. Clearly in this case it was safe enough for the pilot to feel comfortable to put down his aircraft and do a quick load of the patient and the rescue swimmer. Very cool to see the USCG actually utilizes ship based helipads for actually landing the helicopter!

i call bs about the jayhawk claim

[@Tyws14]

@@Digitalgems9000 the max limit for the heli pad on the boat was 10,000 lbs and the jayhawk weights 14,510 lbs

[@Digitalgems9000]

doesn't matter. he says the pad wouldn't be able to hold the weight, which doesn't necessarily mean a max limit would break it@@Tyws14. i'm sure the jawhawk could still land on it

[@silntstl]

@@Digitalgems9000 The max weight is on there for a reason. If you are over two tons more than max weight you don't land on it. Period.

[@Fadamor]

I observed the winds as the helicopter did the initial orbit of the ship using a simple method: Which way is the ship's smoke blowing? If there was an actual emergency, there would have been no need to put a crew member on-deck to observe the winds. The flight crew already had the wind information as they approached the ship. Absent any visual cues, they would have received the current wind speed and heading from the ship's bridge.

[@luiscurtolo]

I mean, theres an helipad, how about just land the freakin chopper hahaba

[@Fadamor]

This appeared to be just a training run. If there had been an actual emergency, the ship would have had the victim ready to go before the helicopter arrived.

[@BrunoFerreiraaz]

Trabalho muito bem feito, congratulations..

[@喬冶]

太棒了

[@AlanCarterTravel]

Great video. I looked this up because the last time I was on a cruise there was a rescue mission like this. Keep up the good work.

[@IndigenousAmericanTrucker]

I really wanted to see them land on the ship! So, if he was gonna land it anyway. What was the point in hoisting the operator and the basket down to the ship? That part confused me! It literally took away unnecessary time, at least in my opinion, which i could be wrong, especially since i dont know the reason yet. Nonetheless, these guys are super badass! I dont care what nobody says!

[@giuseppinavolpe2873]

Despite incredible things they do is warning"no step"😅

[@lobosolitario-j4c]

This is one mixed up video and comments.

[@harveypennicott5317]

Actually there is plenty reason why they don't land on ships Hella pads because bad weather especially strong Seabreeze it'can be very differently to control if so they abandon the rescue if the ship is stationed stopped a stand still it be as safe to land depending whether wise all rescue are differently sea rescue are more as dangerous as ever than on land sea rescue crews are badass do a fantastic job 👍👍

[@geddon436]

Why didn't they just land on the ship? Forgot I asked this question

[@thomaspiekos3440]

Landing on a moving ship is more difficult and dangerous due to the waves and wind,...

[@zaijiancelis]

It’s like trying to land at an aircraft carrier at night

[@cmm3338]

Why land when you have a hoist, if you are good in the air keep it there...

[@nathanpeterson9976]

If they land on the ship and somehow something goes wrong mechanically then their stuck, if they just hover then nothing can go wrong if everything is fine

[@cmm3338]

​@@nathanpeterson9976 They hoist him down in air, then land after all clear so the rescue swimmer can spot in tight situations like these. Jus that added level of safety.
