Coast Guard Fifth District helicopter rescue video, two guys stranded on a 140 foot high tower. That is not an easy rescue by any standards, and their ability to pull those guys out is a testament to the skill of the pilot, the cable operator, and the AST on the end of the cable.
Bravo Zulu, guys.

Yay Coasties! Wasn’t the CG the last remaining Service to maintain use of the esteemed M1 Carbine? :-)
