Показать описание
Dramatic footage captures the moment a mariner was rescued by the US Coast Guard after a huge wave smashed into a yacht at the mouth of the Columbia River.
A rescue swimmer was deployed to the water using a winch cable but as he approached, a breaking wave capsized the vessel, throwing the man in.
The swimmer - named as John Walton - proceeded to retrieve the mariner from the water and both were then hoisted into a helicopter.
Local authorities later notified the coast guard that the individual rescued is suspected to have stolen the yacht.
