Not enough people understand the absolute bravery and love of fellow humankind that the Coast Guard stands for. GOD BLESS THE USA and all our military branches; Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Marines.
Our brave "Coastie" men & women do this every day. Seldom do we learn of their daring feats and rescues. BUT they do deserve our strong admiration and support.
We LOVE 💘 our Coasties!! These are our men and women coasties, from the Warrenton/Astoria, Oregon and Ilwaco, Washington area. These hard working men and women do so much for the community in which they live. We are so very grateful to have them serving in our community. Thank you, Warrenton/Astoria and Cape D, for ALL that you do in our community.
I fished off that jetty for a few months, Always felt I had a chance if I happened to get washed into the Pacific Ocean with the U.S. Coast Guard buzzing about!!! Thanks Coast Guard!!!
Thank you for the brief shot of the dog with it's belly lifejacket on. It would be great if you could show how the different jackets are used and how many folks are out boating without their pets using a PFD. Thank you for the great job you do. 🥰
I like these videos so much I can't find a new one fast enough. I. Watch every day just about all day. Fantastic job. God Bless all men and women in the Coast Guard.
The PNW is by far outside of Alaska the most treacherous conditions our USCG will ever face! The Columbia River when it enters the Pacific is a rotating hell of water and when you get into one of the jetty's it can literally be a matter of seconds between life and death!
I love the work y'all do the brotherly love the ✌️😷👍 whole crew working together that's what makes it a team working together I love to watch these videos may all be safe knowing the work you all do highly dangerous God bless you guys
I remember walking the opposite jetty of the coast guard in cape may nj great fishing grounds but I would kayak to the beginning then put my spikes on for the 1/2 mile walk . I caught so many stripers off there and seen so many boats hit the rocks by throwing anchors onto the rocks I saved so many people by cutting lines they had no idea I was there until I had my light on .to of that thirty is like 100ft and nasty swells at night
I wonder when they leave gear like a pump or a stretcher with someone who is using it../ how do they get it back? Does the survivor or hospital keep the gurney? Does the boat keep the pump? And if another coast guard unit grabs it back how do they make sure assets are returned to where they need to go? I have questions someone who’s smart please answer lol
When you call the coast guard they gather all of your information. So they have your name and phone number at a minimum. Typically most people would return them to the coast guard base. If the litter is left at the hospital then typically they would go in a land based vehicle or they would swap the patient to the hospital bed and take Their gear with them.
Washington native and Army veteran here. For all you Coastie vets out there, I have a legit, no-joke question. Has anyone ever qualified as a Surfman and Rescue Swimmer? Are rescue swimmers ever part of boat crews? Thanks.
"Daring Jetty Rescue From Sea and Air" = a non-emergency by the time of arrival in perfect conditions and broad daylight where all self-rescued except for one, and not even because of injury. Not to downplay what the Coast Guard does, but this seemed like a rather histrionic title compared to other episodes with both tamer titles and more exciting action. At least they didn't make us wait long to show they'd mislead us.
Cape Disappointment? Doesn't exactly sound like a place I want to go to. Kudos to the Coast Guard for their bravery and determination to save people who go there and anywhere else on the water.
Jackie Morrell We fish there and the salmon fishing can be epic! Most times it's rough but manageable. The coast guard can shut it down if too rough for our safety but even on calmer days a quick change in wind can be dangerous. Risk versus reward I guess but I know we don't mess around when it iffy, we stay in!
@@garybachmeier2425 I love fishing but I think I'll stick with fishing off a pier, a bit safer....my brother however would have loved that kind of fishing.
For sheer, raw beauty it is second only to Alaska! I live here and love it, but it totally demands your respect and is pretty unforgiving of idiots and dummies.
I've seen this answer on one of the Alaska episodes. If they are in distress, they are not charged. If it's determined someone is taking advantage of their services, there are fines involved (I think).
The old partially-submerged pylons are a problem for sure, but the jetties are actually the opposite. Each rock jetty helps keep some of the strong ocean waves from entering the harbors and making those inland waters rougher. They also prevent or slow sand erosion which can significantly change the safe path of channels from season to season. Of course none of that is helpful if the boat is actually striking the rocks themselves, but overall they are a good thing for consistency and safety!
I really wonder if the hoist has ever failed them in a rescue? Wonder if they ever dropped a patient because the hoist failed during a rescue??? Really curious now lol.
you really don't want to imagine the maintenance cycles on those birds... if you watch more of these episodes, you will see that before every primary (SARTech) lift(lower) they do a check on the winch before releasing the safety tether to the craft.. so the short answer is "no". These episodes are also several years old, and they now also have other lift/line options as well as the winch.
Pretty sure they do all those drills to get it right 100 % of the time. There isn't any gear that is allowed to get old or wear out. They know every part, inside, outside, and upside down. If the Coasties trust their life with it, you better bet you can too!
It’s funny but not funny that vessel crew members sound mad ( I know it’s anxiousness and fear but ) as if they didn’t know the risks/danger of fishing where they do. I mean the USCG are not magicians that they can magically make everything safe and get them out. How annoying.
For a H65 the "direct cost", which includes fuel, maintenance and crew, is $5489 per hour. For a H60 it's $7194 per hour. But it costs the person or persons being rescued nothing. Taxpayers pay for it.
Why wasn't a barge company hired to clean and take out submerged pilings under the water? And the company being charged that put pilings there to begin with.? They should be held accountable also.
Its not so hard to find the answers about the pilings. Good luck holding shipping companies, the railroad and the Army corps of engineers accountable for something almost 150 years ago. www.chinookobserver.com/life/history/this-nest-of-dangers-building-the-south-jetty/article_e9d772ff-3d67-58cf-9b60-bd48e161554c.html
@tina Creekmore fair question. However, the most dangerous thing in boating is the inexperienced. I would be surprised if those were not charred or marked. I have sailed In many parts of the world and the first thing you do is look at the charts.
Why is that deadly area not have a boundary line that boats are forbidden to enter? I'm a woman with commonsense. A no brainer. In the open ocean you have boundary lines where you can arrest people. So close to shore so hazardous make a boundary line.? Boaters and Rescuers don't have to die.
@reverse thrust Hey, I'm a liberal dem, don't ascribe Tina to us! She's obviously oblivious to the uncontrollable nature of the ocean, the unreliability of even the best maintained equipment, unexpected medical conditions, the fallibility of human judgement and the significant amount of commerce) that passes through the Columbia Bar area (including being the largest grain export gateway in the country) to provide for the way of life we expect.

I'm glad they finally explained the "Barr". What a dangerous area. Keep up the good work!
I takes my breath when they take on those massive waves head on!
It would be cool if you guys started to put go-pros on the swimmers to get their POV when being hoisted.

At least you lost your boat at Cape Disappointment and not someplace called Cape tame wind
-5 ft tide ya that’s normal 🤭😂
Wonder what the bill was to those who were rescued?

@@almaeclu sounds reasonable. Thanks.
Isn’t the Columbia river sandbar bad enough? No need for man to add dangerous pylons and rock jetties to the mix
The old partially-submerged pylons are a problem for sure, but the jetties are actually the opposite.

@@larsjorgensen2911 And the pilings are there because they held railroad tracks that were used to build the jetties.

Adrianna "Capt" fucked up big time, never maintained his boat then insists the tapayers rescue him
A 6 whatever
I wonder how much it costs to be rescued by helicopter...
For a H65 the "direct cost", which includes fuel, maintenance and crew, is $5489 per hour. For a H60 it's $7194 per hour. But it costs the person or persons being rescued nothing. Taxpayers pay for it.
Knew someone who, years ago, had to be life flighted about 40 miles. Bill just for the helicopter was $24,000.
