As someone who grew up on the coast, the Coast Guard doesn't get the recognition they deserve. They do many heroic tasks with little to no recognition. Thank you to the men and women of the Coast Guard for all you do.
I agree
Agreed. Folks have no idea how elite the Coast Guard is. It is tough to get in, tough to get through training, and it's a tough job once on duty.
As a longtime former wife of a commercial fisherman I do agree.
They are amazing. ❤
Hell yeah, coast guards are bad assess.
Way to go Coast Guard people!
That’s a good grandson to fly down and be with his grandma before the hurricane hit. God bless this grandson with long life and many of your blessings, amen.
And amen.
should have flown her out instead
Neto e muito amor pela sua vovó e cachorro 🐕🐕😭 que Deus proteja essa família VCS que salvaram Eles
Amen!
Too bad they didn't have enough sense to evacuate like they were told
Teary eyed here. Thank you to the Coast Guards for rescuing people & PETS. You guys do not get that much coverage you all are hero's.
They should let the rich people stay there and eat their pets for dinner if they were too entitled to leave when they were told to. After that, they can eat fish or seashells.
@@greenlawnfarm5827 ungrateful and ridiculous comment. Congratulations, you’re a keyboard warrior with nothing to do but spit your vile drivel over an elderly lady and a dog being rescued.
I first became aware of the extent of the CG’s dedication and heroism after Hurricane Katrina (I live in Baton Rouge, La.). There is a great documentary about their efforts that you can likely find here on YT. It’s very much worth checking out to learn more about the Coast Guard - how they operate, and how their unique training makes them so effective. They saved so many desperate people in New Orleans after Katrina!
@@greenlawnfarm5827 wow you’ve got some great karma coming your way for that effed up comment.
@@greenlawnfarm5827
Just stop, at times some people are too scare to leave or have bad judgment...
It never ceases to amaze me the lengths we go to help rich people that put themselves In harms way by not evacuating. Great job Coasties
Scrolled forever to find this
Me too
My GOD, Me 3! If what I read is true, that grandma refused to leave, then SHAME on her! She put their very lives in danger!
Just no damn good excuse for this!
Totally agree. Entitled people always expect everyone to go the extra mile to help them! They live on a island . We’re told a hurricane was coming. The only way to evacuate was one road to Fort Myers. And they didn’t leave. I have vacationed on Sanibel many times. I would have packed up and left the entire area. People don’t respect Mother Nature and the havoc she can cause.
There's other videos videos out there of them rescuing people in lower income neighborhoods. FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth has a video of rescues with 4 million views. The second video is in a lower income neighborhood and they do the exact same rescue.
This was very emotional. Awesome grandson came to save grandma. Great job by the Coast Guard. Thank you all.
I know I was sniffing 'happy tears' back at the love this young man has for his Grandma!
It was emotional for me as well, THANK YOU US COAST GUARD 🙏
Yes it was for me too.i would have liked to be able to hear all the conversation.
YES it was!, tears just reading Your comment! THANK YOU! Coast Guard, takes some "bad azzes" (in a positive sense) to do this job, not for everyone, THANKS! again!❤💯👍
Had to secure the inhertance. Those are 5 mil+ houses in that hood.
I’m a retired Coast Guard veteran. Semper Paratus “Always Ready”. guys. We’re a small service with a HUGE JOB! Thank you Tyler and the rest of the crew who were a part of this mission.
Ty for your service!!
The Coast Guard doesn't get enough credit or thanks for what they do. But I'll thank you for your service!
My dad retired from the CG. Thank god for the Coast Guard!
@@lynnyhen Thank you dad for his service and all of your family. It’s not just the person who’s on active duty that serves it’s their entire family as well.
@@rommelbillman2872 Thank you for your service!!
The Coast Guard is incredible in this situation and in many other situations. My only question is, "why didn't the people who live here leave and go inland"? I'm glad everyone was safe but at the same time I'm thinking, "for Pete Sake's, when a hurricane is coming, leave! I'm from the midwest and when tornado sirens go off I head for the basement. I don't sit to see if I can, "wait out," the tornado, because with common sense I know that I can't and don't want to take chances. The Coast Guard is amazing. They do so much and deserve more recognition. This is one situation in which they calmly went above and beyond.
That rescue swimmer is certified badass. Making small talk to keep them calm, knowing what they've been thru and probably never having ridden a stokes basket before. Super Paratus, dude!
Even picked up drink bottle that came out of backpack to carry up
Bless these kind and brave men and women for rescuing these people and their pets!
Hello🤗💓🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼hopefully most states!!!!🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼can Help these verrry poor!!!!!!!!people and animals !🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼I wish I could help but my prayers!!!!!are with Everyone!!!!!!love from Idaho Falls Idaho💕💗🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for taking your pets with you
These people completely ignored the mandatory evacuations, off an ISLAND, now causing these rescuers to spend their time on them. When they could be spending their time on those whom would need it more. Selfish, selfish. They should be made to pay for their rescues. There are elderly and sick that could not evacuate and these people have ended up hurting those as many have died because rescuers spent their time elsewhere. How would you feel if a loved one died because of this?
@@Hayyyward maybe they couldn’t evacuate either 🤷♀️ you don’t know their situation, maybe the grandma lives alone and can’t drive so the grandson had to travel to get to her to help her evacuate, but couldn’t get there before it flooded over.
@@elenalizabeth ..Looks to me the grandson came down to stay with her through the storm. I don’t know why they cannot take a boat back to shore at this point?
As myself once rescued by the Navy initiated by the USCG, my salute cannot be held long enough in admiration for the dedication of so many coasties. 👏
Yes ❤ they do not care how you got into the situation, only that if they can help you out of it, they will, and without charging for it
@@elenalizabeth I was once towed in by the Coast Guard when my boat engine failed to restart on Lake Michigan ! That's when I went to school in Orlando, FL to become a Marine Technician ! You got to love the Coast Guard !!! 🥰🥰🥰
My dad was Coast Guard. Behind every one of these Coasties is a family at home dealing with the hurricane aftermath by themselves. Great job Coasties!
What the hell is a coastie? No such word… sounds like the name of a breakfast cereal.
@@joeyhunter842 My father spent 32 years in the Coast Guard and I have heard members of the Coast Guard referred to Coasties all of my life. I’m sorry that you do not have a frame of reference for this term.
@@joeyhunter842 Son was in the Coast Guard. Get educated. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open yur mouth and remove all doubt.
@@joeyhunter842 It's just a nickname members of the US Coast Guard give to each other. It got "coast" in the name...
@@joeyhunter842 It's a nickname, when I was in xray school in the Navy, one of the students was from the Coast Guard and everyone called him Coastie.
Coast Guard members reading this, thank you for your bravery and sacrifice. I live nowhere near Florida but I have deep gratitude for what you do for our country. God Bless all of you and keep you safe.
The dog is doing REALLY well! So calm. What a great grandson and bless the rescuers!
GOD BLESS THE COAST GUARD AND KEEP THEM SAFE WHILE THEY WORK.
Amen.
TAKE MY TAX DOLLARS
Amen☁️🎺👼💒🙏🌹
Luke 12:19-21
21st Century King James Version
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years. Take thine ease; eat, drink, and be merry.’
20 But God said unto him, ‘Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee. Then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?’
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
Amen
What an awesome young man to fly in to be sure she wasn’t alone and take care of his grandmother. ❤ also Awesome job by our coast guard, Tyler and crew we Thank You! 😊
Yes, very heartwarming.
I agree, what a caring young man to step up in such a huge way to be there for his grandmother and her beloved fur baby.
It is so heartbreaking.
Better to evacuate before that.
That coast guard is so chill. Keeps everyone calm, really great job guys!
LOL , what emergency ? Does the old lady have hydrophobia? It only a few inches deep.
That's grandson is amazing, he said he flew down Monday night cuz he didn't want his grandmother to be alone. Wonderful young man.
Thank you Coast Guard !!!!! Amazing work you ate doing and extra special special thank you for allowing the pets to go with. ❤ 🙏 🫂
Yep, fly done to exclusive resort areas to keep your wealthy granny in a mansion company. They get a free lift off that exclusive island with your pampered pet. Man, the sacrifice!
@@dcpack man u got a point
@@dcpack That’s what hard work enables people to do. Don’t forget the part that they are subsidizing you by paying %40 income tax while you sit in your parents basement.
@@dcpack stop, you aren't helping.
@@dcpack I'm very glad you aren't anywhere near people.....
Awesome! Her grandson flew down to help get her out and she said no way! He stuck with her and made sure she was safe.
Fortunately she and her grandson lived to tell about it. Some people are just too stubborn for their own good.
I don't understand why she didn't evacuate with the other people? I don't know the full story. God bless the Grandson and the Coast Guard.
@@lucindabrashear695 you never know honestly. A lot of things can tie people to that house they wont leave. May be a house they bought with their s/o or they worked incredibly hard to get and are willing to risk life and limb to take care of it. Very sad stuff seeing this devastation on the emotional and physical scale
@@imcrux6583 bro. They’re Rich. They could have left if they wanted. Coast guard should bill them.
@@newagain9964 having money isnt everything bud lol. Like I said, theres probably a lot more sentimental value that they put as more valuable than their safety but I do agree, to some extent there should be a bill especially to folks with higher level incomes but thats also where tax money goes so people arent shoveling $20,000 in a coast guard rescue every time a hurricane hits
This was my favorite video yet!!! A wonderful Coast Guard, a thoughtful grandson (who looks so impressed he may later become Coast Guard), and a scared grandmother and her dog, all with a happy ending. ❤️🚁
I was just thinking the grandson would be an amazing addition to the coast guard 🇺🇲
He has family money I’m sure. Doubtful he’d join 😂 Look at those gorgeous homes in paradise 😍
"Be sure to hold the dog at all times, even when they pull the basket in, we don't want the dog to jump out". Truer words have never been spoken.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Great job guys! The Coast Gaurd doesn’t get enough attention or credit for all they do. The rescues they do daily all the time is amazing. And what a wonderful grandson to come and help his grandmother like that. ❤
EDIT: Also, her grandson was very helpful in getting the Coast Guard to notice them. He apparently went on the roof, and used something to reflect the sun to get the Coast Gaurd’s attention as they were flying around looking for people. That’s how the Coast Guard spotted them so quickly. Great job all around Grandson! 👏🏼🇺🇸❤️
I wouldn't have put my grandson's life or the lives of first responders in danger like this!! I would have evacuated like I was told to!! It's disgusting to put the lives of first responders in danger!!
@@LydiaSings Calm down. You don’t even know what you’re talking about, a lot more happened at the last minute bc of the change in direction of landfall. I was going to explain it all but it doesn’t even matter. You’re the type that wouldn’t help their fellow man in a crisis because you feel they made a wrong decision about something. Sit down with your judgmental bullshit.
@@LydiaSings just stop please
@@maryannbarrett6696 I served this country well in the Coast Guard and it's stupid, selfish people who ignore evacuation orders that need to STOP!! Now, take a seat.
@@LydiaSings hope you never showed your hatred to those you served
Proud to have been a coastie. Everyday heros
Bless your Heart!!!
This is what being an American is all about! Thank you guys, for all you do. God bless!
Building a multimillion dollar house on sea level and then making the rest of the taxpayers bail them out? You are right! The American dream!
@@greenlawnfarm5827 do you live there? Have you ever even been there? I grew up in Fort Myers and visited Sanibel every weekend. Many of these homes are owned by elderly folks who worked their entire lives to afford homes like this. Many people inherited these homes from their parents and have been there for decades. The island has been hit by other hurricanes without having this level of flooding. The flooding is from the unprecedented storm surge which wasn’t predicted until just a few hours before it hit. People have lost their entire livelihoods, homes, businesses. Show some respect.
Until it doesn't agree with your personal views or religious beliefs!!!!
@@PSCA1988 Well, people destroying our country are not Americans....so that cuts out a lot of you....
@@KailuaChick No, people who have overpriced homes on beach fronts deserve no compassion. And the people on Sanibel hate tourists. They want to keep it their private island. Yes, I know because I have been there many times. If you want to give them respect, donate your hard earned money to bail them out. But I bet you won't. The rich people deserve your pity. Help them.
This is absolutely terrifying ... crying like a baby. I’m so sorry so many people have gone through this tragedy. God be with them all and thank you Coast Guard for all the remarkable rescues you’ve done and continue to do for the state of Florida and its people. Just devastating.
I know my heart hurts too! 💔
Не забудь плакать за Донбас
All these stupid people who didn't evacuate
Rescuer so compassionate!
I love that the dog is excited to see the Coast Guard too❤️
This brings tears to my eyes. What a wonderful man this is!!!
This footage helps me remember to have pride in this country, which has been challenging as of late. Thoughts & prayers to Floridians & all the 1st responders working so hard💖
Well said Mandy!
Very true!!
He was so proud of the grandson. I'm sure granny was just as proud. Heck, I'm proud of all three of them ..
What a great grandson ❤️
Wonderful young man to fly down and take care of his grandma.
❤️❤️❤️Fellow Floridian here. East coast just 20 min north of Daytona, while we had flooding and were absolutely pummeled by this storm that just wouldn’t stop, we did not need any rescue in my area. God bless all you heroes!! Thank you Coast Guard and everyone assisting us “civilians” during this incredibly trying time. ❤️❤️❤️
When he said : you’ll be ok 👌🏻 I promise. I started to 😢 cry.
The US Coast Guard is so AWESOME! God bless you all!
God bless our Coastguard! Glad they were OK. Our tiny, older, house is just down the road. I should say was just down the road from there. My parents built in the late 70s. Many memories. Praying that All Florida residents, in all areas can be so rescued. Love you Sanibel.
Thank you Tyler and the grandson that was there to save his grandma and furbaby amazing
World's greatest grandson.
I’ve vacationed on Sanibel multiple times, and my heart is breaking for that community… it’s so beautiful there, and it’s difficult seeing the damage.
They will have a long road ahead just because of the damaged causeway. So sad.
I can’t wait to go back to support that beautiful island and its businesses.
Yea me too back in 2010 about. It's odd to see a place you've been too destroyed. Kind of an older folks' destination compared to places like Fort Myers and Key West. I wonder how Key West made out. But yea wow!
@@warntheidiotmasses7114 It’s so quiet and beautiful and calming there. Hate to see the damage. ☹️
The ex wife lives there. Haven’t heard a word, really unusual, from her since the start of the storm.
@@mellsterr6192 I hope she’s OK. 🤞
I am also heartbroken! I'm from Naples but now live out of state. I can't count the times I crossed Sanibel Causeway. Truly devastating!
Absolutely amazing. I am impressed that the woman held it together. I can definitely say I would have been freaking out if I had to get in a basket all alone to be lifted into the air to that height. I was so worried the pup would try to wriggle away the moment the basket started lifting off the ground. The Coast Guard are true heroes for victims of hurricanes and other natural disasters.
The grandson is an unbelievable young person. Flew down to be with grandma. Said she wasn’t going to be alone though this. Wow that’s powerful. God bless the US Coast Guard. An amazing crew of men in women who selflessly serve in times of tragedy. How professional and caring they are. While the sadness of the hurricane will be felt for a long time what gives me hope is there are people like the Grandson and the guardsmen who exist in this world to help others.
Very true! God bless América
Stay United🙏🙏🙏
Amazing grandson and Superior Coast Guard
Whoa!
Rescuers are HEROES!
💪💗
Glad those two survived. 🙏💗
Me 2
Amen
Respect!!! 👋👋
me2, now send them the bill for the ride.
To see a Miami Crew go all the way there makes me happy. Together we’re stronger
The Coast Guard are rock stars. That’s a great clip and they should probably use that in a training video. I am from this area and I could totally see the fear in the grandma‘s face and I felt so bad. Her grandson obviously thought from first principles - you could tell lol. So glad they’re safe!!
All honor to our Coast Guard and all the military services. Thank you for your service. ❤️
This is what I love to see people being rescued by the coast guard with their dog it’s a little emotional what everyone in Florida went through but all of you are strong and you have Houston Texas with you and praying for all of you.
🤘
Corpus Christi resident here
Good job Tyler and bless grandma and her family 🙏
That was so sweet, the grandson came down to help his grandmother. Thank you Coast Guard heroes!
Thank you so much for rescuing pets too!!
This is making me cry. Heart is hurting for these people.
gotta love the Coasties. Always take the extra seconds to be kind and respectful. Thank God for them.
God Bless the US Coast Guard and Tyler in particular, great job to the grandson even though I couldn't make out his name with all the noise. Bravo for staying with and helping your grandma! Making sure no one else was in the area as much as you could. Great Young Man. Fabulous Coast Guard!
God Bless the helicopter pilot and the team .🙏🏼
The Coast Guard is terrific. Stay safe everyone❣️❣️
Thank you for your service. The residual effects of going through a hurricane occur at any time even while watching this rescue. I didn't come close to needing help like that, thank God, didn't even lose power for once but the vulnerability is huge. My heart goes out to the CG doing their job/service and to those that needed to be rescued. ❤
They did not need to be rescued. They were stubborn and defied the evacuation orders and deserve no help. Even the emergency services and fire fighters left the island. They can butcher and cook their dog for food if they get hungry. But their maid service was probably smart enough to evacuate, so they don't know how to cook.
Hi Guys!!! God bless the Coast Guard !!! Your work is so needed. I live in Louisiana and recall after Hurricane Katrina the great work you guys did rescuing folks off the roofs in New Orleans. You guys are always there no matter what. Angels with a helicopter!!! Blessings to you all!!!
Coast Guard does so much for hurricane recovery efforts. They were at my apartment complex helping an elderly couple evacuate during Harvey. They were there during Katrina and numerous other weather events.
Former army, we gave the coasties a lot of crap for not being the "real military" but I gotta say, it's times like these that I respect the USCG more than any other branch
My Grandfather was a Coastie in WWII. He spent most of his service on a DE doing convoy duty across the North Atlantic. I didn't realize til after he was gone how involved the Coasties were with the actual fighting in that theater.
Thank you Tyler and crew for doing this! You guys ROCK!!
Great job, Coast Guard! Thank you for protecting us. Major kudos to this caring grandson being there for his grandmother. ❤️🙌🏻
Thank you for showing rescues it’s calms the hearts of many who have family there that can’t get there to help and want to see that they stand a chance of their house collapsed on them
We love the uscoast guard. Dorian survivor here. Abaco will always be grateful. Weeping for the survivors. We are reliving it with you.
God bless these people and their pets...and the Coast Guard!
The dog seemed to be handling the noise and commotion very well.
I'm so happy they all got rescued! 🐶👥 ♥️🐾♥️Bless the men and
women of the coast guard!!!!! ♥️ 🚁 ♥️
THANK YOU COAST GUARD.
We've been vacationing on Captiva & North Captiva for about 15 years & this whole event is so sad, just shatters my heart for all of the residents & this stunningly beautiful paradise.
So proud of our Miami Coast Guard
Now that's an awesome Grandson! He flew down three days prior to rescue his Grandma. Congratulations to our amazing USCG- Always Ready to step up to save lives!
God bless the Coast Guard
Coast Guard rocks. Thanks for what you do!
From New Zealand…truly a brave grandmother and her grandson. I am crying. I can appreciate not wanting to leave your home when you live alone but it must have been harrowing staying there …her grandson did a kind thing to come and take care of her. the Coastguard are fantastic…flying a helicopter is never an easy feat. Bravo to everyone. Kia kaha stay strong. 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑
The Coast Guard on average rescues 3,000 people every year. Whether it be search & rescue, or flying through heavy storms, the US Coast Guard is Semper Paratus.
The hearts of rescuers ❤ God bless them all 🙏
Tyler was absolutely awesome. He treated those folks like in a calm and friendly/reassuring manner. Made it feel like a family gathering with a fun ride at the end. Great job.
And kudos to the grandson for knowing how to signal the helo crew. Grandma should be quite proud of him.
Way to be the hero's and rescuers of the sky. May God be with you and all your fellow men and women always brings tears to my eyes. How human coast guard is, they have family's too. But the the civilians or ones needing help come first . . Always ready
Again, thank you for lifting the people and especially the pets and the animals
Tyler, God bless you for flying down and taking care of your Grandma. You're an excellent example of chivalry. You were raised right. Family is most important and even I could see the love your Grandma has for you. What an experience and story you have to tell about being rescued by the Coast Guard. 🙂
US Coast Guard & grandson heros!!!
Great Job Comforting the lady, God Bless🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a nice guy he talked to her so kindly made her feel safe.
Love the men and women of the Coast Guard. Thank you for all you do!
He's the shit for sure!!
Bless your hearts! You are true heroes and I love you for it!
Dog handled it like a champ! I hope I never need a rescue like this but if I do I’ll be very thankful that the Coast Guard is there to rescue me.
Thank you for the work you do that so many can't! we salute and appreciate you. Coast guard needs to get more credit and recognition as it's usually them who saves people on our homeland when it comes to things like this. Thank you for your service
Words can't describe the bravery and goodness of the Rescue Personnel involved..........thanks a million times
Very emotional to watch. Thank you to the Coast Guard for rescuing people and their pets. The young man that was with his Grandma and dog very brave and so sweet to help her out. I watched The Finest Hour- Great movie, true story about the how the Coast Guard did their first rescue.
Watching from New Zealand, this has Tears in my eyes, be safe everyone ❤️
Great job and so appreciated! Special people doing a very special job!!
NIce work from our true hero’s! The men and women that service us all! Thank you all!
Great rescue, clearly gave directions and cared for people!❤
Coast guard guy was so kind and helpful. He made them feel comfortable. Bless these men and women out there saving ppl.
the human heart... :) bless the coast guard
He even grabbed his water bottle too
I am watching all of these vids from my home in Fort Lauderdale Beach where we were spared the wrath of Ian. But I feel all of this pain and am praying for the safety of all of us! Outrageous video footage! You are doing an amazing job! Thank you Coast Guard!
Same, Davie here and it's depressing to think that we were spared any damage while just an hour and a half west of us there's all this death and destruction.
proud of those amazing rescuers God bless this is when America show how great this country is
It’s am so grateful for the rescuers coming to the aid of others whether it’s in their job description, it’s for a family member, a friend, a neighbor or a stranger helping out. They are what is right in this world. A special thanks to Tyler for being so good with that lovely elderly woman. I wish you safety and peace.
That dog must be terrified and bewildered!
Thank you for your service!!! 👏 USCG
Saving lives one basket at a time. Great footage of kindness and humanity.
The rescuer made the point that the grandson was smart to use a reflector to get their attention. Smart grandson. Good going USCG.
So emotional. . Bravery & Service
