Man who fell into the sea at Qixingtan Lake in Hualien was miraculously rescued. Blackhawk air crew rescued him and saved his life.

A thrilling maritime rescue case occurred at noon today (19th) in the waters of Qixingtan, Xincheng Township, Hualien County! A man surnamed Chen accidentally fell into the sea and drifted into the sea after going to Qixingtan for some reason. His family anxiously reported the case and sought air support. After receiving the order, the Third Team of the Hualien Station Service Battalion of the Ministry of Interior Air Service Corps quickly dispatched Black Hawk helicopters to the scene and located Chen Nan floating in the vast sea. Search and rescue personnel went out in a gondola and successfully rescued the man. He was handed over to the Coast Guard and ambulance for medical treatment.

The Air Service Hualien Station pointed out that it received instructions from the service command center of the Corps at noon today. A person named Chen reported that his brother was suspected of falling into the sea after riding a motorcycle to Qixingtan, and requested emergency air force assistance. The third team of the 1st Air Service Group immediately dispatched a UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter numbered NA-711, which took off at 1:49 pm to perform maritime search and rescue.

The Black Hawk helicopter arrived at the target sea area of ​​Qixingtan at 2:05 p.m., and the crew immediately launched a fixed-point search. With their keen observation, they immediately discovered that Chen Nan was floating on the sea with the waves. After the crew quickly assessed the sea area and the risk of walruses, the search and rescue personnel went out of the cabin and used a gondola rescue method, and successfully hoisted Chen Nan into the cabin at 2:11 p.m. The helicopter then landed on the shore at 2:17, and handed over Chen Nan to coast guard personnel and ambulances for evacuation to medical treatment, successfully completing the mission.

Regarding the successful rescue of people who fell into the sea this time, the crew members who performed the mission were moved and said that due to the high waves and current speed of the sea search and rescue mission, the chance of successfully rescuing people is actually very slim and rare. This time, in addition to the usual solid and strict rescue skills of the air crew and maritime patrol search and rescue personnel, the rescuers themselves knew how to survive such as floating on the sea, which was also the key to saving their lives. They were able to cooperate with the search and rescue team at the first time and jointly create this rare maritime rescue miracle.
