U.S. Coast Guard picks up ill passenger from cruise ship

@theHDman159 I was wondering the same thing, also! But I was really wondering is how do they claim their luggage if they're in a ER at a hospital and not on board of the ship??

[JakePeavyFan44]

If the ill/sick passengers leave w/ the Coast Guard, how can they claim their luggage if they're not on board the ship??????

3:42 wat was the US Coast Guard Airplane Doing lol

[pepsibookcat]

@TheHDMan159 I believe that was a USCG Falcon. They arrive on scene before the helicopter can and circle to monitor the situation. They provide air support for the chopper when it gets on scene.

omg the helicopter had to constantly fly at 8-12 knots!

Re-read my comment, stupid!

[cruisesstar22]

Lol! What happend from that person...Is he alright!

[melissareh]

He had appendicitis. I never heard how it turned out, but I assume he received the care (and surgery) needed once they got him back to a hospital in Louisiana.
