To a victim being rescued, the rescue basket with its cable are lifelines. Here an injured boater is being recovered to an MH-60 Dolphin helicopter deployed from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C. The injured sailor will be taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. A rescue at sea is a highly orchestrated ballet requiring sophisticated flying and precisely synchronized communication among crewmembers.
