The captain of a sinking 75-foot fishing boat died after making a dramatic mayday call that saved his three crewmembers in the Gulf of Alaska. "His actions, based on everything I've learned, saved his crew. Had he not gone into the cabin and made the distress call, the outcome of this would have been very dire."

  • @peuterschmidt It means what do you need before both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft are launched. Consider that if they launch unnecessarily, not only does this waste a ridiculous amount of fuel, aircraft endurance and money, but endangers anyone else who might need those rescue assets more.

  • THe coast guard was a site for sore eyes.. we did not know that they had been called. ROb died before we could get that info... they had been looking and were on Recovery- not rescue at that point.. had to send for the hellis and divers...

  • I am GRATEFUL to be alive...there were sooooo many things that happened in that 10 min. those next 4 hours have re shaped my life....

  • THANK YOU strangers.... I was one of the crew on the Northern Belle... IT was 1.5 years ago and tonight I finally am able to watch this... Thank you for the kind words to Captain Rob etc. The coast guard was a site for sore eyes- at the time we were not sure that they had been alerted and we had lost the life raft ect. nearest boat was 18 hours behind us and there was a storm coming up- thanks for careing- Nicole Esau Crew (the gal green horn)

  • US Coast Guard; " Uncommon courage is a common virtue "...and the Captain. God Bless.
