Chinook helicopter makes daring rescue on Mt. Hood

He's gonna climb right back up when he sees the rescue bill

Insurance company: "YOU GOT RESCUED BY A WHAAATT...."

[dallasyap]

That's very impressive skill the pilots got there. When in times of need, the military still there. Thank you to those who helped with the rescue.

[livelurked]

Those guys must be Afghan vets with mountain flying skills.

[mokokoco]

This is why the chinook is the helicopter made for things like this. Such an iconic image

[tappedoutxc]

That pilot was amazing to hold that twin rotor so damn rock solid like that. Dudes a bad ass.

[NSixtyFour]

"Thank god you guys came"

-Heres the bill-

"Just kill me"

[mustangmusic]

How much park skills u got?
Pilot: *yes*

[southwestxnorthwest]

This is UNBELIEVABLE! I've flown in a Chinook when I was in the military and the pilot did something similar to this in the Columbia River, but seeing this done in a real situation is something else. No doubt that he received a medal for that!

[BeardsleyMark]

You can see several of the rescue team actually getting down to crawl under the rotor from 0:10 to 0:20. That is amazing. Both the rescue team and the pilot are simply phenomenal at their jobs!

THAT'S ONE HELLUVA EXPENSIVE AIR AMBULANCE BILL

[HaasGrotesk]

The guy that wanted to kill himself is going to kill himself when he sees the bill for that little helicopter trip.

Reminds me of early 2000, around second grade for me, my friend’s father was flying a SAR mission and rolled on Mt. Hood. I was young and didn’t realize the impact it had, but it was serious. And thankfully no one was terribly injured, just allows me to see now that it was a heroic and brave action for the rescue party to put their lives at risk.

[larrysong]

All Navy SEALS have faith in those pilots and often appraised their amazing skills. Military pilots 👏👏👏😎

[ffrreeddyy]

That’s insane, a person going through that much and trying to find an answer. Not sure how I feel about that approach, but it shows that we all go through a lot of insanity that we try to cope with.

[patrickdialimas]

There's nowhere safe to land,
Pilot " hang on let me try what I did in call of Duty "

[KandiMan]

Probably saw how beautiful it is up there and decided to live. The view south to Mt. Jefferson is impossibly pretty.

[shamskl]

Chinooks life safer every where 2 times they safe my life in Afghanistan witch I owe them whole my life Thanks captain Mathew I really missing you God bless

[kzsposeidon]

Got rescued by a Airbus H145 from the Swiss mountain rescue once in the German/Austrian Alps. The pilots skills we're so insane, even the mountain rescue guys said they have rarely seen skills like that. Swiss are just the best mountain rescue flyers in the world

[gordondunn]

Now that Is a very skilled pilot they don’t spend all that money on you to train you for no reason
