Wonderful work by OUR United States Coast Guard...via Stephen T. Watson's Twitter page

I don't give this service the credit they deserve. They straddle a couple of amazing roles. Law Enforcement, Rescue and National Defense. Coasties do it all!

Vehicle is about 100 feet from the Falls. Facing away from it. Trunk is open. River washes over the top of the windshield. Current reaches to bottom of side windows. Copter still hovering.
