HMS Bounty Rescue


This is a Classic US Coast Guard rescue conducted this morning.  I have tried all sorts of techniques to get this "B Roll" video to work.  The best solution I can find is to click on the link below.  You may have to wait some time for it to load--it is getting hit really hard by internet users around the planet.

Be sure to use the "Full Screen" option.

The Rescue Swimmer you see is Randy Haba.  The US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer program is possibly even tougher than the US Navy SEAL program.

Here are two links on the Rescue Swimming qualifications

What you are seeing here is a Super Human Being performing Other Worldly Acts of Individual Heroism.
