This is some great footage! Well done. Thanks for sharing. Sad to see the damage to that pier. Spent many summers at White Rock visiting my grandmother. Great place, hope they can fix the damage. Glad that 442 Squadron was there to do what they do best.
Which stupid people might that be? People go out onto the pier during winds storms all the time and nothing happens. This time, the storm made it unsafe while a person(s) had already walked almost to the end when something went wrong.
They didn't 'save' anyone. The guy was safe enough and a few hrs later could have been picked up by a small boat. The rest of the pier was not in danger any more. It was an overblown, unnecessary production, but at least it broke the boys' boredom and gave them a little real life training.
Crazy i stay 10 minutes from the beach and saw this happening. Sad to see the pier get destroyed but it was going to happen someday as it was old. Hope to see a brand new safer, longer pier made and one that wont break easily to storms & boats. Anyways good catch n rescue but people need to learn how to storm watch safely..
Great work capturing video coverage of this event! Thank you for sharing it. I am in awe of the bravery and skill used by the helicopter team in executing this rescue. Well done indeed!
Just sit right back and you"ll hear a tale.....great footage Wade, if I may ask what camera did you use? So refreshing to see a steady shot and well composed!!
But its all good now. New bridge have been constructed and its safe now. Hope this will never happen again....its so good to see this place calm and empty🥰
And we thought our infrastructure was solid. I've lived in White Rock since 1990, and this blows my mind. Maybe I wasn't clear on the strength of the WR Pier to begin with. But that's city hall's job to know, not mine. The last city hall, not this new one. The new guys seem pretty legit for old farts.
While I understand the sentiment in your comment, charging for search and rescue will cause more grief than its worth. Mr.Dumdum(as you put it) should as a sign of respect make a healthy donation to his local SAR or charitys.
I noticed that too. Was he taking video too and that’s why he didn’t grab the guy the first time? There’s another video from the photographer at the pier when it collapsed. He was there with other people. They all made it just minutes before. This the dude decide to stay. I do hope so he paid for his mistake. His indecision was also putting the rescue crew at risk with those high winds.
wcresponder yupp it's easy when your Good .im Tool n Die where I've seen what rotating machinery does to people that make mistakes .Life can change in a heartbeat my friend.play safe God bless
@@textiles9562 One of the biggest kpop girl group called Twice came to Vancouver and White Rock in 2017 to shoot their MV "Likey", which has half a billion views by now ;) Go check it out
@@wcresponder not saying you guys aren't needed. Just that this guy would've only been cold for a night and not in any real danger. That wasn't a cheap rescue.
@@mrfingers4737 Do you know how fast you can become hypothermic in that situation? Do you know the signs and symptoms of moderate hypothermia? Serious? The possible outcome is death.
Im a mechanic on the Comorant, always cool to see the boys in action. Absolutely wild machine

Great work by 442 SAR squadron, Based out of 19 Wing Comox!
Official Boomtish214 it always amazes me what these pilots can do
Nice.
Not all hero’s wear capes
Awesome video man. Great work.
Great work by 442 Search and Rescue squadron! Great flying skills, good auto pilot, and a great team of SAR techs!
from where did you find the [Great flying skills]?
Great job by our unsung hero,s risking their lives to save stupid people.

Risking it all for a clueless moron
You guys rock! Rescue team AND cameraman !!

NOO! This was my favourite place to go with my grandpa :(
Great video Wade, great job! Wish I had caught it! Great Job!
This storm scared the hell outta me. My cat was outside during this and when i saw a tree come down i needed my cat inside. SAFE
I'm impressed with that chopper pilot. I wonder what the gas expense is, haha.
big now lol

But its all good now. New bridge have been constructed and its safe now. Hope this will never happen again....its so good to see this place calm and empty🥰

Man that is nuts. I live uptown White Rock and had no idea it was that bad down there.
Great footage !!

Amazing video!
Great work, but that old copter looks like it's ready for the bone yard!
The Ch-149 Cormorant has only been in service since like the late 90's or early 2000's though.
Absolutely the opposite: the CH-149 is one of the more newer helicopters in the RCAF: if any chopper needs replacing, it’s the CH-146’s.
The video is good, really good! The logo... Isn't it too small?
It might be to small
well it even says 'in your face'
It's a miracle no-one was really hurt or killed, so unfortunate for the boat owners, we don't realize how crazy mother nature is
Jenn Hope One person died of a falling tree...
I meant at the pier... 😐
SAR guys should send Mr. Dumdum on the pier a rescue bill. $200K should about cover it.
Yup 100%. My wife was their and saw how this guy got " STUCK " ... Total bs.

@@wcresponder I wouldn't expect much out of someone this stupid. You are right though.
Great video. Couldn’t help but notice the storm chaser take a selfie. Hope he pays for it. Expensive hobby for a daddy and us taxpayers.

That copter,even tho it's prob.30yr old still viable ,with astronaut capable pilots Awsome to watch
Started work in 2002. Simple homework.

Should charge these people the bill for these rescues.
That's the shortest $50,000 ride.
Good memories
I saw it break it was cool☹️🙂
That’s my home I live near the peer I am sad it broke
No , then people like you can steal my video .
Hundredth like
poor seagulls
Surprised that helicopter was fit for service it looks Antiquated!
Then you have no idea the service that it gets.
Look how long they kept the sea kings flying.
You want sparkly machines you go wash and wax them.

Dislikes from twice members
What’s that
lol why tho they seemed to like Vancouver and I think the White Rock Pier appeared in their MV

Waste of resources. The guy would've been fine.
We'll say that if you ever find yourself in a tough situation. Thanks for the consent.

Nice video, get your logo off the screen....
He caught the action his channel, smaller would have been nice.
This is so people don't try to steal footage without giving credit where it's due.
