I see water, an island and a helicopter.

Putting labels on these things adds not one whit of content.

I don’t see a plane, survivors, flotsam, jetsam nor any sign this is other than a sightseeing trip.

That is why a trained rescue professional is invaluable in these life saving situations. Give them some credit.

“I don’t see a plane, survivors, flotsam, jetsam nor any sign this is other than a sightseeing trip.”

(Chuckle) Get a new monitor, set of Mk. 1 Eyeballs, or whatever you need, because they are right there in the video as plain as a bunch of white gnats flitting on a potato.

Watch in the center bottom of the filed of view for the two helicopters flying from left to right across that area of the lower screen.

At the beginning of the video freeze the video at about the the 0:30 sec mark. Start at the tip of the peninsula on the left and move to the right to where there is a tall white object sticking up into the air. That is the Kalaupapa Airport. The aircraft took off from the runway by that white object and crashed into the sea nearby where you can see the white surf breaking against the shoreline.

At the 0:16 sec to 0:14 sec remaiing mark, you can see a very little white object with the rotors spinning moving into the lower-center field of view. That is one of the rescue helicopters.

I won’t ask you to read the time on the watch on the survivor’s wrist held high in the air in the sea below (grin).
