And, in this case, USAF pararescue.
I like his sentiment of "Wow. We live in a country that can do this!"

Hi Wally,
I just listened to the interview on our NPR station.
Just finished googling the Navy rescue video, and the ship data, and blog.
My heart goes out to those guys, but it's great our Navy and Coast Guard have
such capabilities.

Rebel Heart, the Hans Christian 36 scuttled recently, did an interview
on NPR a few days ago:
<http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/525/transcript>
It was interesting to hear that the Iridium Satellite phone failed with
an 'Invalid SIM card' message because the distributor providing the
cards made a change and invalidated all the existing SIM cards.
I've had that happen to me *twice* in the last 18 months, and while they
were very cool and FedExed a new SIM card internationally, it is very
disconcerting. I consider that thing a very important piece of safety
gear, and in fact only have it in case of emergency. I don't think
FedEx will deliver to a boat off shore.
