Another story was one that the announcer told during a very cool ParaRescue demonstration. What they did was six ParaRescue jumpers jumped out of a C-130 at only about 3000' above the water at most, then opened their chutes, and landed IN THE OCEAN, got out of their chutes, and an HH-60G helo came around and picked them up out of the water. Here's a pic of one of the jumpers right after jumping out of the plane;
What the announcer said was that, if you remember the movie A Perfect Storm, it was based on a true story about a fishing ship that was stranded at sea in a violent storm. The Coast Guard was looking for them, and after a while, a ParaRescue helicopter went out to look for them. If you remember, the ParaRescue helicopter tried to refuel in air but couldn't, and they had to jump out and ditch the helicopter in the ocean and try and survive, alone, at night, in the middle of a violent storm, by treading water. Four of the five PJs were rescued, and one of the six that jumped out of the C-130 today, was one of those four survivors. Here they are before landing in the water;
And here's their HH-60G helo coming to pick them up
That was a very impressive moment.
