I made a comment to My parents last night that sooner or later one of those choppers was going down. You simply cannot run equipment non-stop for days without mechanical breakdowns.

helo crew

#8 Postby southerngreen » Sun Sep 04, 2005 7:32 pm

glad to know they are all okay! i guess that one is out of commission?? (haven't seen any video)

i can imagine how worried the families of the rescue people have been for the last week just knowing that they were in there again & again. heard one guy say he had rescued over 100 in one day!!. they and their families need encouragement & support. i'm sure they would all like to be with their own families & vice versa. don't know how many more days they can do this.

They assumed because it was bright orange it was Coast Guard. They corrected it as soon as they were informed by the USCG..it wasn't a CG Chopper ..Chill. The news is sometimes hard to report when it's breaking. they are doing the best they can.
