Looks like those guys did a bang up job down there. Sounds like a real nightmare of a call. Just goes to show what excellent training will do for you. Also thinking on your feet will get jobs done right and save lives. Good Job guys!

Every rig has a 55 gal drum of SPF 30 and a 4 inch paint brush. If you look at their pictures of extrications, etc, you will see that they are always wearing their Joe Cool Designer Safety glasses. That's their authorized eye protection.

Very unique incident. It's always good to have a member on a rescue where a large body of water is trained or familiar with boats. One of the guys they interviewed sounded like he had knowledge and there was some complicated disassembly involved. Thanks for sharing this!
