Private Notes
The second season of Coast Guard Alaska kicks off with an epic story. On the night of January 24, 2012, Air Station Kodiak is hit by a pair of daunting rescue missions. When two distressed fishing vessels call for help, the Guardsmen muster all of their resources on the ground and in the air as they battle hurricane-force winds and bitter, subzero temperatures to rescue 11 passengers whose lives are on the line.
Episode 2 of Coast Guard Alaska shows the unique heroism of the men and women who respond to medevacs along the remote corners of Southeast Alaska-- where the Guardsmen are often the first and only option for safe passage. Among those they must rescue are a man who suffers a heart attack, a woman who goes into labor, and an injured hunter who makes a desperate call for help after spending a bone-chilling night in the Alaskan wilderness.
The Guardsmen race to the scene when a damaged vessel goes drifting across the tumultuous Bering Sea, an injured man needs to be hoisted off a freighter, and three hunters go stranded in the woods near Sitka. Back in Kodiak, rescue swimmers are embedded in the forest for a "survival school" that teaches them the most important lesson of all--how to stay alive in the treacherous Alaskan landscape.
Coast Guard Alaska takes to the skies and the seas on dramatic missions where not everything goes according to plan--and where the rescuers become the rescued. The helicopter crew is faced with a tough decision when one of their own calls for help, and on the Coast Guard cutter Alex Haley, a small boat team faces a serious situation when they attempt to board a fishing vessel in the turbulent waters of the Bering Sea.
In Alaska, while the seasons change, the dangers remain the same. The Coast Guard launches to a remote Alaskan village when an infant's life hangs in the balance. An injured woman aboard a fishing vessel must be airlifted to safety. And when a Coast Guard crewman is hurt in the line of duty, Air Station Kodiak takes the call to save one of their own.
Coast Guard rescuers at Air Station Sitka race to save a fisherman struggling with deadly seizures, and to the scene of an accident when a man is pinned under a truck. And when a teenager goes missing in the woods, it's up to the Coast Guard to bring her home before time runs out.
Rescue missions in Cordova, Sitka and Kodiak tell the compelling stories of a fisherman whose life hangs in the balance, four hunters whose skiff goes lost at sea, and a crucial medevac for a woman facing agonizing pain.
