Dramatic footage: Helicopter rescue of man from sinking boat in Croatia

[chrispikeyp]

love the video man

[xtremetom180]

you have some great stuff here

[guitargeek1122]

omg he went back for his dog

[ForteIIV]

There's no field like EMS!

[knpdyeballarice]

this is straight out of a movie holy shit

[TheChrisA2009]

He just had to waste time and almost die...

[f4rtB0y]

to bad

[vitru1111]

Al Qaida did sink his ship.

[UKURR]

helicopter made a vortex which has engulfed the ship

[Ghenesa]

Downwind crated air pocket around rear part of the ship. Ship fall into that pocket and started taking watter...everything else is history. :)

[pavaoslisko]

his hot pocket was in the microwave.

[TheOriginalJoeBloggs]

That poor boat

[gtou]

After watching the video several times it seems to me that the old man was trying to tell the rescuer to land on the bow rather than the stern of his boat...

which is the absolute right thing to do! Landing on the stern AND forcing the old man to move there adds weight to the stern and finally causes the boat to sink...

[sevic333]

@gtou You are right !!..... but the filthy Croatian Zionist Government will probably put him before the courts for arguing with the rescuer

[CroPETROforever]

@gtou I'm from croatia, this man who was rescued is an IDIOT, later he said on tv that he would rather died with this boat... I MEAN WTF? ... he is an idiot.

[ivanasolar]

@CroPETROforever me too i'm from croatia . Do you understand this : jel pricas hrvatski ?

[CroPETROforever]

@ivanasolar pricam :D

[ivanasolar]

@CroPETROforever okey jel zivis u sisku ??

[ivanasolar]

@ivanasolar DaDa

[musicluuva123]

[musicluuva123]

These people need a medal. Its like titanic over again... Mini.

[1LostMy0therAccount]

[Diddymeer]

[ImGoingThruChanges]

ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH you sunk my battleship!

[awstrali]

[saywhau]

Indiana Jones theme tune or GTFO

[MrNodzilla]

I'd rather take my chances on the boat rather than a commie helicopter any day of the week !

[omgFEX]

@MrNodzilla

Then hopfully you would of died.

[dognjeno]

@MrNodzilla

Helicopter is Bell 209, what do you mean with commie helicopter?

[MrNodzilla]

@dognjeno . Bell 209 it may'be , but i doubt the spare parts are .

[dognjeno]

@MrNodzilla you're ignorant moron. Where would spare parts come from?

[MrNodzilla]

@dognjeno . Cement mixers , coat hangers ,VW polo's you know what Commies are like ?

[llTomlll]

@MrNodzilla Stupid American.

[rastabastard1321]

@MrNodzilla

i rather take shit for breakfast than taking you and your comment as something normal

[MrNodzilla]

@rastabastard1321 . Fuck you white boy Roy , I don't even understand your idiotic fucking comment ! You enjoy eating shit because you can't let a silly comment slide??

[dudevinci]

timing win

[batterycock]

wat a pussy! you should always go down with your boat, be that a yatch, dinghy or inflatable duck shaped rubber ring.

[TextBookPuncher1]

@batterycock hahaha

[bojshanebojsha]

Njemu brod uopste nije tonuo, nego mu ga je helikopter potopio!

[dognjeno]

@bojshanebojsha

Daj ne seri. Sigurno je policajac pucao iz pištolja i potopio mu je brod. I jebem ti brod koji ne može manevrirati. Potonuo je zato što mu je KRMA BILA OKRENUTA KRIVO I VODA JE NAVIRALA PREKO NJE. Helikopter ne može stvoriti toliki tlak da pritisne čamac toliko da voda počne navirati u njega. NE MOŽE!

[SlavenMaiia]

the helicopter sank the poor boat , too much wind from propeler lollllll

[dognjeno]

@SlavenMaiia

YEAH RIGHT! You're imbecil..

[Konartwist]

and in england are royal coast guards dont even get governmenmt funding

[UncreatedCow]

Rescuer: Knock knock

Old man: Whos their?

Rescuer: Justin..

Old man: Justin who?

Rescuer: Justin time

[dognjeno]

[tolerancija]

@UncreatedCow

American humor is the best... NOT!... xD

[sufy1000]

That was an awesome rescue!

[PcGamingRig]

[FOXTI2OT]

anyone else notice the cops yanking him away right at the end like hes guilty of something?

[dudefromlondon]

very good job, salut to them?!!!

[MrPhillyrick1]

that was staged. you could tell. they just so happen to have multiple cameras to catch different angles.

[xxmrbloodxx]

@MrPhillyrick1 Umm the news was there so do you only expect there to be 1 camera?

[meathead21network]

@MrPhillyrick1 your an idiot mate!

[YoYa8d]

@MrPhillyrick1 haha croatia doesent have money for 2 cameras XD

[CroPETROforever]

@YoYa8d what are you talking about? Croatia is very good economical standing country, and this was not shooted becouse of media and you fucking idiots on youtube (like americans do shits just becouse of commercians), this was actually REAL LIFE FOOTAGE YOU IDIOT! and we can be lucky that someone was there to record this on scene.

[dognjeno]

@MrPhillyrick1

lol, it is part of the city with lot of boats and rafts made as clubs. TV crew was filming there material for news.

[killersniper4]

[CarsOfGaia]

[Purrrsuasive1]

Does ANYONE notice how close to land he is? Would have taken him 1 minute to swim to safety. DUH!

[sewRsk8R]

@Purrrsuasive1 ya but at 56 his body might not be in the best of shape and that water looked cold like hypothermia cold

[maxim1474]

@Purrrsuasive1 against the current??? yeah, right...

[dognjeno]

@Purrrsuasive1

Did YOU noticed how fast that water is? and not to mention loga and other thing that is floating in it..

[MarmiteMan4]

[MrVucibatina]

hahaha prejako!

postoji i hrvatski hancock!

ja mislim da mu je stari svasta rekao dok su se dizali gore!

i kako ste jebote na ustašama zavrsili na kraju!?

[pjosip]

This man had anchored his boat in wrong direction - stern on downstream.

[dognjeno]

@pjosip

Finally somebody with common sense, and not morons simply repeating what tabloids wrote..

[Dra60oN]

@LordSparkisvati go learn history idiot

[ShoneGrd]

ccc...svaka čast na spasavanju!

[DjeteSocijalizma]

[attaofthelight]

fool

[NemeeSis13]

U fucking stupids..nazi were in croatia in ww2...why do you think all croatians are nazis..do you think u are something better?Fuck you all,faggots -.-

[sweetboyy22]

pa da nije bilo ovog s helikopterom nebi ni potonuo...

[sevic333]

Croation Police and politicians are total FUCKTARDS....European Union ASS LICKERS with a sprinkling of Zionism to match

[pajkica]

Lucky man, not so lucky boat!

[jasamdomo]

@BetterFilmVideos

A Nazi?

Are you braindead?

[jasamdomo]

@BetterFilmVideos

So not only are you braindead, but you are retarded as well?

What does this man have to do with the Ustasha's?

So according to you, the most brilliant human being, all Croats are Nazis?

Could you be any more stupid than you already are?

[beccullity]

BRAVO!!!!

[pjosip]

The guy has anchored the boat in wrong direction. He turned the bow upstream! Check out at 0:26!

The helicopter has nothing to do with sinking.

[piratxy]

This man does not want to be saved.

Police helicopter sank the boat.

[dognjeno]

@piratxy

How do you mean? Did helicopter drop the bomb? If you look carefully you would see that there are no waves splashing in the boat. It's stern was facing waves and that sunk the boat. Police did the right thing and saved that moron. If boat can't manoevre than they must save people no matter how dumb and stubborn they are.

[sparmic1]

THIS MAN WAS NOT RESCUED! HIS LIFE WAS NOT IN DANGER! HE WAS JUST TRYING TO SAVE HIS BOAT AND WANTED SOME FOOD AND WATER BUT THEY WOULDN'T LEAVE HIM (OR HIS BOAT) ALONE.

NOW THEY ARE CHARGING HIM FOR THE "RESCUE" ACTION, HE MIGHT GO TO PRISON BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE HIS BOAT.

THEY'VE DESTROYED HIS BOAT, HIS WHOLE LIVING. AND WHOLE WORLD (AND CROATIA TOO) SEES IT AS MIRACLE RESCUE ACTION.

[tolerancija]

@sparmic1

Yea, you troll would know it... The man wanted the rescuers tie his boat to the helicopter?!?!

So all of them could drown together, including the helicopter.. off course he is responsible for endangering the lives of the rescuers. If the police says "Come here", you do it!

[sparmic1]

@tolerancija no, he wanted food and water and wanted them to leave because the wind of their helicopter was the only real danger for him and his boat there.

if the police says "come here", we should all beat the crap out of them. they are no help. people are helping each other.

[sparmic1]

@sparmic1 and btw, you seem like you're from Croatia like I am and if you didn't know, this story, my story is official at the moment.

[tolerancija]

@sparmic1

You may be right that the helicopter sank the boat, but it is NOT the official story, show me the link. All news portals, including the international ones speak of a rescue in the last minute... :P

daj ne lupetaj gluposti ...

[sparmic1]

@tolerancija

youtube doesn't allow me to post links obviously, but search 'helikopter potopio brod' on google.hr and one of first results is article on Jutarnji, one of major Croatian newspapers and news portals. Also dnevnik.hr, novatv etc.

I rest my case.

[tolerancija]

@sparmic1

Yup... you're right... chopper sunk the boat..

[dognjeno]

@tolerancija

and youre moron..

[josip007]

@LordSparkisvati

your mom was a part of my cock...

[JulesManson]

@josip007 I do not condone this kind of adolescent commenting by anyone but this one just shot right at us as I was scanning this page. My girlfriend and I had a very good laugh. I know I know I guess I should now expect one directed at us. Before you do remember this: one gets a laugh, two may get a chuckle, a third would get yawn.

[josip007]

@JulesManson

That guy just make me to say that to him....

[tolerancija]

@LordSparkisvati

Yea, YU had a sweet deal with both sides. It ended with the end of the cold war. Now it is a cesspool of money laundering and corruption. But we have nice landscapes... ;)

[depressedtraveller]

@LordSparkisvati no, yugoslavia/croatia wasn't part of soviet block

[tolerancija]

@LordSparkisvati

I'm from Croatia and Yugoslavia WAS NOT part of the Soviet block. Yugoslavia was one of the founding countries of the "Non aligned movement". Look it up...

[JulesManson]

@tolerancija you are mostly correct but only about 97%. Yugoslavia was aligned with Russia up until 1948. I think this puts Yugoslavia in the very very light gray area whereby black is definitely an iron curtain state and white is definitely independent.

[tolerancija]

@JulesManson

Yes. Soviets wanted to occupy Yugoslavia and only with cunning leadership and good deals made with both sides, both sides left Yugoslavia alone, because they feared each other. We were and always are, between the east and the west, bloody middle... :)

[JulesManson]

@tolerancija Don't ever allow your country to join any Western (American or European) or Eastern (Russian or Chinese or Middle Eastern) alliances as this is the first step toward becoming imperialized and thus a puppet of these two very corrupt global spheres of influence. One must take a lesson from history and look at Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and a few others. They came out of World War II relatively unscathed because of their neutrality.

[tolerancija]

@JulesManson

Unfortunately, we have long been divided and conquered...

[rolexey]

Police drown that boat. idiots

[rastabastard1321]

@LordSparkisvati

who was part of soviet union? funny little guy

[Angyal269]

This video is censored. They cut out the scene after 0:17 when the guy is making angry hand gestures at his rescuer. Probably he didn't realize that he is in danger until the moment his boat started to sink.

[angelusp777]

that was close

[SilentSnipershot]

that was awesome ! good to see hes alive and safe

[15joey04]

Nice work !! Good : )

[666DanceParty]

That's some good shit. Nice to see he made it.

[Cinemaguy2007]

just in time, good job!

[VerticalhorizonXL]

In Soviet Russia, boat drives YOU!!

[Ken2234]

@VerticalhorizonXL this isnt anywhere near russia moron

[VerticalhorizonXL]

@Ken2234

It didn't have anything to do with the location, moron. It's a tradition to use Soviet Russia terms regarding disasters nowadays.

[onmynyshit]

@VerticalhorizonXL 'Soviet Russia' jokes are corny no matter what context you use them in...

[gigobait]

@VerticalhorizonXL Learn fucking geography you fucking retard

[VerticalhorizonXL]

@gigobait

Did you seriously not just read my earlier post? You're the fucking retard, I'm arrogant, you're just stupid.

[systat]

@VerticalhorizonXL good one

[signboyy]

that seems risky, the line could have snagged on some part of the boat and pulled the helicopter down as the boat sank.

why not just have the guy and rescuer jump off and create some distance from the boat and then attach lines and pull them up?

[JulesManson]

Why didn't he just swim away? Its not as if there were 60 foot Hawaiian waves hitting him. I think he just wanted a neat o ride on that lift. o_~

[83ls]

@JulesManson

Dude, look at the current. He would have drowned if he jumped in it.

[JulesManson]

@83ls I was kidding hence the wink "o_~"

[zvjer2]

@JulesManson

I would like to see you swim in a big river going so fast...

[infiltratorr]

who says movies are fake?

[kenderoth8]

That's some Hollywood shit right there.

[markjoachen]

i am going down with my ship,,we can save you,,,oh really ok why did you not say so straight away it would not have been such a close call

[msarband]

i didn't know they care about human life in croatia!

[ImJustBoredLol]

This gave me a smile on my face =], bravo!

[drutter]

"I aint leaving, I aint leaving, I aint......... OKAY LET'S GO, HURRY UP!!!"

[rsnboy08]

That was intense!

[awhodatt]

pops was almost a GONER!!

This vid made my day!

Go home and kiss your wife and grandkids!

[TheLiquidSolid]

[awhodatt]

@TheLiquidSolid LOL!!

That's alright bro ... that's how it be sometimes!

Just love the one you're with ...

:o)

Stay up!

[TruthSeekerUK]

A great captain never leaves his ship.

[poopstreek]

@TruthSeekerUK I know. What was he thinking?

[TruthSeekerUK]

@poopstreek

That a great captain never leaves his ship/boat, i guess it's just their code so to speak. The rescuer and pilot were just as brave.

[Steelers022]

@TruthSeekerUK when his boat started sinking he no longer had one

[TruthSeekerUK]

@Steelers022

This is very true :/

[federicoconiglio]

oh my god, thank god he was there JUST ON TIME, that guy had no spare time...

[jaida786]

that guy is a hero... 

[breezyvibe]

Kewl!!  Scary for a minute there though . . .

[mrbunnylamakins]

Why did man look as if he was arguing that they were rescuing Him?

[theagrafiotis]

The title should be.

"Helicopter rescue man after shooting his boat and sink it"

[vaanjaa]

Guy have sued the police cause they have sinked his boat

[vaanjaa]

Guy have sued the police cause they have sinked his boat

[mardeboq]

It does seem too the poor old-man rather reluctant to depart from his ill fated boat.!!

Beside the job well done, the Rescuers too have had much coaxing work to do.

One do hope that the authorities concern will comes to another financial aid kind off to the poor soul. He seem to cling to his live-hood boat to the very last seconds of disaster. Of which he musta be depending his hard earn money to survive another day to day ordeal..!!!

[runisunke]

Dang, Cue Dramatic Music.

[mardeboq]

Just like a movie..!! In a nick of time's..!!! A split seconds make different of life and death..!!!

Congrats, to the Rescuers Team . An afford well worth.. bravo..!!!
