Coast Guard crews have been rescuing people stranded in communities in Florida devastated by Hurricane Ian. An aircrew on an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Air Station Miami spent much of Thursday pulling residents and their pets from flooded neighborhoods on Sanibel Island. Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler Kilbane captured remarkable video from a camera mounted on his helmet.

Rich assholes should have evacuated ๐คท๐ปโโ
Thank God for our awesome Coast Guard!!!! You guys Rock!!!
Freaking Heroes!
And why a helicopter rescue they look to be in no danger plus you could drive a car down that road
Lol they couldn't drop the basket in the dry sand driveway?
What a badass
Heroes
Tyler was having a ton of fun with this mission. I don't blame him. In fact, I'm a bit jealous. Us navy folks don't get to do that.
Iโm stationed in the keys and spent a few days with the folks from Air Station Miami, they are all awesome hard working coasties! Good job yaโll ๐๐ผ
What a GREAT JOY for the Coast Guards to save peopleโs precious lives every day but also, what a FEAR to be continually putting their own own lives at risk: i fervently pray for God to keep them safe in their glorious service to others. ๐
Lol that was the most overly dramatic looking rescue.
This rescue swimmer so happy he did not have to put his suit and fins on to save people.
Oh my gosh id be hyperventilating
It's the pets saving for me ๐
The best of the Coast Guard is that they are trained to be as kind to their people as they are trained to be as mean to their enemies. Just imagine Tyler here behind a .50 shooting warning shots at a drug dealing boat.
These guys are amazing. You can see how grateful those people are for their assistance.
God bless these men
Badass!
Thank you โค
Iโd love to do something like this
I'm sad for all the pets who were left behind ๐
Great job guys.
Why didnโt theyโve evacuate? Can those people foot their rescue bill?

Very cool. Taxes well spent.
๐๐GOD. LESS THEM ALL !!!…๐ฅฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
That guy Tyler has a very professional approach, right down to comforting the little furry dog.
This suggests that the training given is excellent.
โIโm a marine brother, Iโm readyโ โค
โYouโre gonna be ok, I promise.โ
I donโt think people even realize the littlest things like that, mean the most to people in times like these.. Itโs the way he comforted them & let them know theyโd be ok. Gave clear instructions without being pushy, bossy, forceful or rushing them. Peoples body language & giving off good genuine vibes can literally help people get through some tough times a lot easier, & thatโs what this man & his team did. What an amazing guy. He was made for this career. โค
All theses idiots were told evacuate
Amazing โค
Wonderful! ๐
Such heroes thanks US Coastguards you rock!!!!!
US SAR ๐ซก
It's amazing and unbelievably horrible how the same ( ? ) Americans are killing people over the Atlantic right now.
GOD Bless the coast guard ๐๐
๐ซ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐
Thank you and God bless you, brave people!
how nice to work with recuers….
Amazing work I love our first responders ๐ Iโm praying for all the people
I live in a country that doesn't get hurricanes, so I expect there's something obvious I'm missing, but how do these people typically end up stranded? Is it that a lot of folk don't see the weather warnings?
Wow. You guys are FANTASTIC! Everything down to the smallest detail was done SO WELL. Congrats to you all — the pilot who hovered so steadily, to Off. Kilbane who gave clear instructions and who made the people comfortable, to the "basket catcher" aboard the helicopter, ALL of you. Bravo, Gentleman. Bravo USCG.
Why is the sun so bright, is that normal after a hurricane?
So sad
Wow, so beautiful; the best of us
And this is why I tolerate paying taxes… great job!
Tyler, don't forget to tell them to pack medications!
Last year December 17 2021 typhoon in Philippines so many people affected one of our house was totally damage we can't brought anything just our selves to evaluated that time, after 3 Months I built a tiny house made of light material,I'm felt this kind of situation very unforgettable to every body also.๐๐๐๐ต๐ญ
Hรฉroes!!!!!!!!! True Federal Law Enforcement Agency.
This is a great video of incredible people doing their jobs and being heroes. But none of this would have even needed to happen if all of these people would have followed the evacuation orders from the Governor. Why would they try to ride out the storm with so many options for places to go and shelter and with so many warnings not to stay? I don't understand this.
