I wish normal civilians could communicate like this. This is absolutley fantastic

Wow! They could've easily hit the side of that rock. Such skill, these guys are awesome

These rescuers are heroes. They make it look easy but it's risky work. That copter is talking out loud for a reason "minimums, minimums" One good wind and they are into that rock yet they all remain calm...like ex-military so this is like a cake walk for them- no one is shooting at them. Great job by all!

6:48 "It's right at the edge of my comfort level, but it works." He says that so calmly and matter of factly while the helicopter guidance robot voice is freaking out about the lack of rotor clearance, "5, 4, 3, minimums, Minimums, MINIMUMS!" This is incredible. Wow. I had no idea CHP did this type of search and rescue work. In San Francisco, it's our Fire Department that does cliff rescues and they even have a marine unit, but nothing in wildland, of course.
