On 10/28 evening, a helo crew with rescue swimmer was practicing ocean retrievals just off of San Pedro, CA, using a "dummy" that was being dragged by the LA County Lifeguards. Despite the fact that it was dark, windy, choppy (in addition to the helo blast), and raining, the rescue swimmer was dropped into the water many times over (at least 4x in the 10 minutes I watched, and the helo was out there for at least 30 min).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
