I remember Sean Collinsworth from the COPS show and the episode of him training a new deputy. I remember this episode as well. Both of these guys are true heroes and with them sticking together this story was a success and had a happy ending.
Today is the 33rd anniversary of when this happened. This happened on a Saturday. Mountain climbing is definitely not for me but maybe for someone else. Hume is an unusual name. Today he’s 67 and I’m sure he can never give Shawn enough thanks for what he did to save his life. I’m sure Hume is a grandfather today and tells the story to his grandchildren. If Sean had not been there to help I don’t think Hume would be here today.
Why does it take over 2 ¾ days for extended help to arrive, even with the closest immediate rescue help to arrive, which took almost over ½ day (19.5 hours) to arrive? Why does take emergency longer in remote areas compared to urban areas which takes only 5 minutes?
Why wouldn't it take longer in a remote or a rural area; it's not like they have an emergency room or ambulance on the mountain or in a little town. On a mountain, they have to have rescue people who know what they're doing or they're going to get hurt too & then nobody will get saved/rescued.
Chinook isn't a rescue helicopter. It was designed specifically to meet specifications in an Army contract for a dedicated cargo helicopter which could also serve as a troop transport. The counter rotating tandem rotors give it an advantage over other helicopters in operational ceiling, stable yawing, lift capacity, and cruising speed because all power created by the engine goes into either lift or thrust, unlike single rotor frames which sacrifices power for a tail rotor for lateral stability. CH47 is also far more stable in forward flight at high speed as the counter rotating blades compensate for the loss of lift typical helicopters experience called a retreating blade stall, and violent shaking it causes due to unbalanced lift disk. This allowed it to boast the highest top speed of any helicopter in the fleet for several decades, only being beat now by individual helicopters with specific design changes and advanced avionics.

Sean Collinsworth is ( or was at the time) an LA County Sheriff Deputy. He is in early episodes of COPS training a new deputy.
I knew that name sounded familiar.

It's such an old series in the 80s..the audio is hopeless..but still it is full of nostalgia and memories..
Why didn't they have a whistle?

Are you serious?
1:25 -- "the tallest mountain in the continental United States." Denali would like to have a word with you.
This is "Mount Whitney" from ep. 125
Walking With Dinosaurs The Legend of Mount Whitney
Dude how long has he been there?
So he's super high up with a broken leg hanging out of a helicopter thinking wow what a pretty sight
I know it was serious but it was kinda funny
lmao then suddenly the rope cut off. Well, it's one in a life time moment, better enjoy the view than fear what will happen xD
11:45 #Chinook a type of rescue helicopter that's longer in length.

face bleed 😂 😭
the rock kills a day hiker below
Dang. @.@
Super high
I think mountain climbing should be illegal.
I wonder do people pass gas in an Emergency
Interesting question, Daniel
They shart, Daniel. Is that enough for you?
Why do you ask?
