  • Nice job... Quick hoist insertion and short haul to waiting fire personnel or transport to Henry Mayo, Holy Cross, UCLA or LAC - USC Medical Center in East Los Angeles if critical or otherwise meets the air transport criteria.

    The Angeles National Forest, with Mt. Baden Powell at 9400+ may not have the altitude of the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan but it rivals the treacherous terrain.

    LASDs' Air Rescue 5, a Sikorsky SH-3H Sea King, is yet another beautiful Sikorsky aircraft...inside & out.

  • The second guy is my brother and the girl is his fiances sister. They went there hiking and a couple said there was a second waterfall somewhere so they went looking for it. They never knew about the deaths and injuries that had happened there until after they were rescued. They would never do this on purpose. And no, they weren't spray painting graffiti. They just took a wrong turn that ended up horrible. I'm just glad that they are alive right now.

  • @NotSoOldHippy Spray painting idiots have become a problem up in the hills for some years now. They even ruined the informative plaques within the Cobb Estates.

  • @NotSoOldHippy Thanks for the info., I appreciate it.

  • I've hiked much of those mountains as I lived on Loma Alta for many years but moved to So. Oregon last year.

    Air rescue crews offer an invaluable service to hikers and equestrians and my hat off for them! I used to watch them fly over my house in awe of their skills flying that big bird.

  • @gamerbob34 Air 5 continues to be awesome. They literally never rest. Every day it's something, some days it's a *lot* of something.

  • @altadutch Incredible stupidity, but they are not billed for the first rescue.

  • @altadutch The spray paint problem is being addresses, at least some of it is. Check the CrystalLakeCA page on Facebook, we'll be creating a spray paint task force to clean that crap up.

  • A lot of people died in Eaton so far this year, sub-experienced people who thought they would go for a little walk in the park or maybe the mall and went far beyond their experience level. With Summer winding down there will be fewer and fewer call-outs and deaths but Easton will probably claim a few more by year's end.

  • Are these people being charged for their stupidity!? They should.

    Also, were they spray painting graffiti up there?
