English: PHOTO #2
06-08-08 (Indiana) - A mother and child are hoisted into a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter in Indiana. Five adults, two infants and one toddler were stranded in a camping area about 40 miles SW of Indianapolis, IN, because rapidly rising flood waters cut them off from any means of escape. They contacted emergency teams via cell phone, whom in turn launched a U.S. Coast Guard HH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter, deployed for flood assistance from Air Station Detroit, to the area. The helicopter crew located the campers and deployed the Rescue Swimmer to assist the survivors on the ground. The Rescue Swimmer organized the group, explained in detail the events that were about to unfold, and even custom-made hearing protection for the 7 and 8 month old babies. The Coast Guard hoisted three adults and all three children (two of which were in safety seats) to safety before a ground rescue team arrived and transported the remaining two adults out of the park using ATV's.
