Helicopter Rescue Camelback Mountain
Went for a quick hike up Camelback in Phoenix,Arizona which led to witnessing the fire department rescuing an injured hiker. There were 12 fire trucks at the trail head when we started. Once we got about a quarter of the way up they closed the trail while the chopper landed and loaded the hiker inside. Apparently he messed up his knee and possibly tore an ACL. Injuries are unknown but the rescue was pretty rad. The spot the helicopter “landed” is so small one of the rescuers told us they can only put down one of the skids and have to mostly hover in place.

Goliath Groupers M/V Castor Wreck 9/19/13
Просмотров 8211 лет назад
Just floating around with some goliaths on the M/V Castor. The Castor was seized in 1999 after the U.S. Coastguard found 200 bales of cocaine weighing 10,127 pounds in a container shipment of bagged sugar. The M/V Castor was sunk on December 14, 2001 in 110 feet of water where she sits upright with her bow to the South. The wreck is 258 feet long by 37 feet wide by 50 feet tall rising to within...

This is the Sea Emperor Wreck or known by locals as The Aqua Zoo. I believe this is a Hawksbill turtle at the beginning. Filmed with the GoPro Hero2 with the dive housing and a red filter.

    If he'd have just turned starboard instead of port, right here (00:00:10), he could have easily run out of the break in smooth water.

    The captain shouldve kept going. Do not make the turn untill pass those wave breaks. He was almost passing but he turned. Well, i know those bumps scares ppl, adults screaming kids screaming and such. But he should not be influenced. Anyway, glad that everyone was safe. His insurance gona soar the next cycle though.

    A perfect lesson on what not to do in big waves, never turn sideways in those conditions, continue straight ahead until you’re beyond the waves and returning ride on the back of a wave all the way in .

    @jamestuccillo 3 года назад

    Ah my City, love it BUT this is a very dangerous inlet very deceiving, the seawalls block your view so you must not only plan a route but a backup and still be ready to adjust your course quick to avoid a collision, sit inside or outside a couple of minutes to see how waves are breaking, the current is moving, where other boats and Waverunners (there are plenty of small craft going in and out even when not so great but some people really know how to drive go in and out it all the time just because they make it look easy doesn't mean anyone can.) are and going, so you can plan your time thru. Know both your craft and your own limits. Waverunners are easier due to power and maneuverability BUT take a spill in the inlet and you better hope you have your life jacket on (want to take it off after so be it but put it on for 3 minutes along with everyone on board) because till you've swam in it (yes I've swam, dove, and jumped into it when younger, dumb... Definitely.) but I've been swimming before I could walk and am comfortable in the water still I've had my closest calls here along with friends of mine even then it was always with gear, multiple people other great swimmers around and even then only when it was very calm not much boat traffic and usually late at night. Still SWIMMING, DIVING, OR SNORKELING ARE NOT LEGAL CERTAINLY NOT ADVISED. You have no clue how the current is moving or it's strength just understand no matter how good you can swim lifeguards, captains, and other trained personnel have died in this brief stretch of Boyntons waterway. When calm it's not bad at all 1-2' ripples but it doesn't take much and it's suddenly it's 3-6'+ swells its the currents that can make it insane at times looking like white water rapids. Using it almost the time going out into the ocean myself I can only say first you must be confident in your ability, pretty experienced at riding a Waverunner or captaining a boat to get thru it. If you have doubts go out/in another, you must pick a route give it plenty of power and stick to your plan or your going to have problems, you can't decide part way to turn back whatever your vessel it's not going to happen easy if at all and even calm it'd be dangerous with currents so strong at times. I suggest when you first go out this inlet go out when the tide is not changing and waves are calm, go in and out a few times to gain confidence then go out 3-4 more times next when it's breezy and swells are about half or less what your vessel can handle/you feel safe in, again go in and out a few times working your way to to the max swell height. It's important to do this before racing in before a storm or something because I hear all the time about people who avoid Boynton. Growing up here going in and out this inlet riding along as a kid and teen learning how to get in or out of this inlet safely then doing so myself years later during this time I've seen or heard of issues here from minor like this to serious multiple fatality accidents almost weekly. Stay safe, if your new to boating do not try going out when rough if it looks bad it's horrible go out the other nearest inlets Boca to the south or Palm Peach to the north.

    Well, once the wave broke, all that whitewater is full of air and if the Cap gave it full throttle, the prop simply would not dig into clean water. I feel they could have gotten out of there if he went full throttle just one second earlier.

    Guess it takes a drone recon to look for surfers in the way before going out? He would have had a tough time turning the other direction and not hitting one. Might have been worth the risk just trying to shoot between them and let them worry about getting out of the way? Tough choice.

    A rookie turned the boat around in the wrong place. And then didn't gun the engines, overtaken by the next wave. Why not just keep going straight into the waves? Well, anyone with a credit card can own a boat these days....

    Watched the whole thing from the beach. Saw the drone and thought "he'd been up for a while before the capsize, but I'd run my battery down to like 🤔 8% if I were on station with mob and capsized boat in 8-10 breaking waves" What was your battery on drone retrieval? And great capture.

      Art Vandelay insurance will total, the vessel that uprights/tows will file salvage claim. It will be restored then sold, and nothing wrong with that provided they replace all electrical and take engine apart and do a rebuild.

  • @8180634
    @8180634 4 года назад

    He turned around to avoid the surfers that he didn't see until the last moment, what a bad situation. If you've never driven a boat in waves before, things can disappear between the swells. And he was probably too focused on the waves directly in front of him to look out ahead when he was on top. At least it was rollers and not soup.
