Coast Guard Rescue on Carnival Legend 4-20-09

Tampa, Florida -- A woman crewmember of the cruise ship Carnival Legend was medically evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard Monday and flown to Tampa General Hospital.

She was identified only as a 29-year-old crewmember. She suffered a serious head injury while the ship was some 290-miles southwest of Tampa, the Coast Guard said.

"Search and rescue coordinators launched an HH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater and safely hoisted the woman," the Coast Guard said,

She arrived at Tampa General shortly after 7 p.m. Monday. Her condition was not reported.

That's an awesome video. The camera was a little blurred, but it was still cool. Check out my site: watch?v=uZYlXq8WcbA

I may have the video of her landing at TGH.

Another great save by the Unsung heroes of the Armed Forces.
