Awesome Helicopter Rescue!

[noahconstrictor11]

Another dull day at the office.

[Shagnarsty]

why in this day and age can we (as a human race) not have at least attempted this with the 911 incident then?, surely the US have numerous helicopters which could have been used and authorized to fly in close proximity in order to rescue doomed people on the upper floors. baffles the mind

[rollosnook]

@Shagnarsty

Possibly there was 100 times more smoke, more heat, more updraft and from the video I saw, there was no-one visible on the roof. Wasn't the roof access barred or something as a prior security measure? I expect if they had a winch, it wasn't that long enough to facilitate a rescue sideways.

@wle3

I lol'd

[CrimsonGetsu]

If I can't do shit like this in my life I want to die

[DeadMansFilm]

@CrimsonGetsu lol

[daveyfunk]

I tear up everytime I watch this. Watching the skill of the pilot and the bravery of the firefighter both putting their live's on the line for a stranger is absolutely beyond fucking words. Heroic doesn't even cover what these guy's do every day. When people say 'It's their job', it annoys the hell out of me. It takes a special person to do what they do every day and it should never be taken for granted. With all the shit in the world, these people put my faith back into humanity

[sr230399]

My respect for the firefighters which put their lives at risk to save other....They're heroes in the real life... sorry 4 my poor english!

[oblanob]

everythings on fire and theres an american flag on top of it. hahahaahahha

[belentash]

I know thats serious, but it makes me laugh cuz its easy for the fireman to get there ... the helicopter pilot is the real hero cuz he has skill ...

[TheTitor100]

they are heroes....

[CapnJay214Supra]

Matt Moseley: How do you walk with balls that big?

[HardRockDrummer666]

God Bless that helicopter rescue team. That brought tears to my eyes to watch... Praise the Lord everyone came out OK.

[TheAirborneBoy]

Its amazing to me how much money and effort they put in to saving just one individual. kinnda gives us some hope for society (:

[Highice007]

Badd ass! :)

[globe255]

I would like to have a helicopter swing, but in a better safety device for the comfort, and a little longer, lets say 10-15 km distance.

[cerber973]

Very Nice Rescue...

[aloisbembel]

These are the heros the world needs

[FFBrendan131]

thats Matt Moseley! from AFR HEAVY RESCUE 4. Ive had the privilege of working with him on the heavy rescue. He is now a captain for Johns Creek Fire Dept.

[jonte97a1]

Thats a brave man

[SeanTravis]

boring, i wanna see the vid of the crane collapsing.

[fbeetleson]

[dwarrren9]

what caused the fire?

[tgamirov]

The Crane Operator's unextinguished cigarette...

[stcleonard]

ha!

[TheJBoy73]

the base of the building was weakening, so what happened after the rescue? did the crane just topple over? did they put it out?

[OrionEdWood]

yeah, the crane collapsed after they got him out

[TheJBoy73]

do much damage?

[petesol206]

the highest praise for the heroic efforts of the helicopter crew!It proves that trained crew are indeed invaluable in times of crisis....well done guys!

[fuze59]

ha awesome choice of music!

wow, makes u wanna do something big with ur life

[sdrfgvrfgvsfravgdsvS]

impressionant rescue!!

[mbatl0907]

I remember watching this live. It was one of those moments I'll never forget.

[nurseDavide]

I don't believe in heroes, I believe in people who trust in their skills and love put theirself in the first line...this fireman is one of that people.

[coastalman226]

Ok got to respond to this, the subtitle's coming up on the bottom of the video say's the fire was creating strong gust's of air, it doe's which is called an up draft. The air the chopper is fighting is from the wind gust from that day, look at the flag which isn't near the fire or the smoke being blown away from therescue point. Quit blowing thing's into what they aren't.

[OrionEdWood]

blah blah blah...yak yak yak...you're blabbing about nothing, coastalman. LOL!!!!

[chcwtf]

Gotta agree with OrionEdWood on this one - Babbling as well as the poor use of apostrophies'. LOL!!!!

[Bayview471]

@coastalman226 A fire of that size can reach temperatures of 2000+ degrees. Being a friefighter and chemistry major who had studied fluid dynamics, the fire will create updrafts even some distance away because of the differece between the ambient temperature and the super heated gases rising from the fire. The major obstacle would have been the up draft. Flight characteristics also change due to the visocisty of the air which is directly proportional to the temperature. Subtitle was right.

[Eminem1Mw2]

@coastalman226 stfu its still an amasing rescue, damn, people these days have not a damn thing good to say to a hero saving a person.

[Puggy8D]

@coastalman226 He isn't blowing anything out of proportion. The fire is creating what is called an artificial thermal column, not an up draft. This column rotates within a cylinder, hence why the flag is not flying upwards, but sideways. The helicopter has to fight this column, which sways the rescuer from left to right. And thermal columns can be larger than the actual fire sight, it's just the initial source that sparks it.

[chcwtf]

Awseome video - great work by the pilot, crewie and in particular the fireman.

But what a disgrace a city such as this does not have a winch capable aircraft

[hutch1111111]

I watched this on the news live, I had tears in eyes when they landed. I thank the creator everyday for giving us firefighters, police and EMS.

[OrionEdWood]

Yes indeed hutch. Amen to that....

[nakazatoGTR]

@OrionEdWood you got the video of the collapse? mind if i use this to debunk 911 theorists?

[CrimsonGetsu]

@hutch1111111 I like how you said the creator, not God, Jesus, Allah, etc. Someone has an open point of view.

[blingy99]

Wow thats pretty awesome. Although it would have been way cooler if the crane colapsed just as they where lifted off it :P

[n2dauphin]

nice of the media to video his rescue...they beat us all the time but just watch these days...sad

[OrionEdWood]

You got cool chopper videos n2dauphin. Are you a chopper pilot, or a rescue personnel?

[n2dauphin]

Actually C) all the above...

[liddlepeter]

[jojobevco]

[OrionEdWood]

Thanks, jojobev!  More videos soon.....

[durtymacc]

What about the crane?

Did it fall?

[OrionEdWood]

Hi durtymacc, it wasn't mentioned in the footage, only that he was airlifted out "...just in time."
