A crowd of villagers in the Dominican Republic flock to a Coast Guard helicopter. The helicopter crew made the difficult decision to land to check on the children at a local school. The village is surrounded on all sides by flood water caused by Tropical Storm Noel. The villagers put themselves in serious danger by running up to the running helicopter.
