I was impressed with this guy. He recognizes that the government is doing a lot and that his group just augments them.

[Nicky-bo]

Aerial Recovery is a great group helping people.

He's right. The govt can only help so much. They put out evacuation orders, provide buses where they can (the efficacy of their actions also rely on the full cooperation between state, local and federal authorities). As he said, it's also our responsibility as citizens to protect ourselves and help our neighbours wherever possible. Ultimately and ideally, it should be a complete network of cooperation between all everyone- individuals or groups. We're all in this together. Together we stand. Divided we'll fall Stay safe and alive out there.

What a wonderful interview and a wonderful man! In talking about the rescues, he doesn't forget the humanity of each person impacted by the hurricane.... I continue to pray for the victims of the storm, but even more so, I continue to pray for the people who put themselves In harm's Way to rescue the victims, both for their success in their rescues and also for their own selves and families.

Thank you, brothers and sisters! We are the people!

Absolutely the best of America right there!! We should be thankful for people like these who are doing such great work, may the Lord bless them and those who do this type of service.

[heathergittings]

Love his way of saying that we’re the people, we need to take care of each other.

So glad that he's been allowed to help. There were people who went down with rescue boats when Katrina hit and they weren't permitted to get through. Still so many unanswered questions about that.

A Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued a man who was left clinging to an ice chest in the Gulf of Mexico after his boat was stranded overnight in waters roiled by Hurricane Milton.

What a wonderful guy and his crew, thank God for people like them! 🙏

More coverage of decent people please, less of those that are not. THANKS Jeremy & Co.

It's crazy that this country fails to provide a public mass transit option--at least a reserve emergency system--for people in difficult economic circumstances to evacuate in predictable natural disaster weather events like this. It would not be too complicated to implement, it's just a matter of priorities.

[sarabeth]

FL dodged a bullet and was very, very lucky. This was not nearly as bad as it could have been. With so many people refusing to evacuate, tens of thousands would have died had the storm been stronger.

[LadyPantera]

This guy doesn't have to put anyone down to lift everyone up! He didn't complain about what anyone else was doing and was just focused on doing what he can to help people who need it!

[kathleentorres]

God bless those who help just because they can.

[yvonnewiggins]

He acknowledges that Government cannot do everything but individuals and groups have a responsibility to do things to help if they can. We all need to take that message on board.
Maybe future evacuations need to do something to help people who have less means.

[eldenringer]

AS LONG as this guy works with the authorities and doesnt become part of the problem..
And they dont spread trump lies about FEMA...
If they are doing that then they are genuine heroes...
