This latest video from the Coast Guard, showing its rescue of most of the crew of the tall ship Bounty off the coast, is a stark reminder that there are people who get in helicopters, fly into a hurricane, hover 30 feet above pitching seas, and then jump into the ocean that threatens to swallow the people already there.
You have to admit: that's pretty remarkable.
