Another dramatic video from a rescue helicopter. Such a wonderful and powerful form of education.
I wonder if the rescue swimmer saw the threat, does he appear to stop swimming toward the boat and prepare for the wave?
What comms equipment is worn by a swimmer these days? Does the swimmer wear an earpiece? Could the crew warn the swimmer of the mega wave?
The swimmer was a student......
"As a rescue swimmer, this was Aviation Survival Technician 3rd Class John "Branch" Walton's first life saved. Hours later, he and his classmates graduated from the Advanced Rescue Helicopter School."
