USCG stuck: Bodega Bay

Could happen to any of us, but extracting the Dauphin from that will be interesting

Coast Guard Helicopter Used In Boy’s Bodega Bay Rescue Now Stuck



BODEGA BAY (CBS SF) – The Coast Guard helicopter that helped rescue Sebastion Johnson, the 4-year-old boy who tumbled more than 200 feet down a cliff at Bodega Head, was itself stuck after the incident.
Heavy fog forced the helicopter to land on a slope during the rescue, and the angle it’s now stuck in makes it unsafe to lift off.
The Coast Guard is now devising a new plan on how to move it.
The boy’s mother said her son fell off a cliff as she was walking with him on a trail, Bodega Bay Fire Protection District Fire Chief Sean Grinnell said.
He was in serious condition at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland Tuesday.
