Exactly!! Those helicopter rescues cost so much!! They better not charge her for anything!
That woman was probably terrified. I'm surprised her heart was able to take that.

That's pretty scary. My understanding is that helicopter rescues can be pretty risky in general. Hope the lady gets better quickly.

So hope she's all right. Several helicopter rescues were shown during hurricane Harvey. Men, women, children. "We were stuck and the water kept rising and then the helicopter rescued us and that was horrible." A woman describing what she and her toddler went through in that storm. Another rescue involved a boy who looked to be about age 10. As the basket pulled him up from the ground to the helicopter his eyes showed terror and his mouth was wide open the whole time as if he were screaming non stop. But still, compared to the shameful no rescues by FEMA during Katrina, hats way off to the Navy and National Guard for being on it for Harvey. Just hope they find a less traumatizing way to get people out.

It was terrifying, surely. Bet she thought it'd never end.

Watching that was awful. I get vertigo often and that looked like a nightmare.

Wow, that was crazy. Most helicopter rescues cost around $12,000, and insurance won't cover it.

I'm going to hell for chuckling at that poor woman's predicament ... just so much spinning.

That actually looked like fun. Maybe a new Six Flags ride? Imagine if they departed while it was spinning like that? What a ride! Yee Haw! Go Granny Go!
