Truly amazing work. Congratulations to all who helped in the rescue. Get well soon and, please, no going out after curfew!
YAY!!
Thank God!
One time my son was missing for about 6 hours. I can't fully describe that feeling in words, even now.
Hundreds of people came together to make this happen. These kids would not have survived without the selfless donation of time, money and hard work that was given by both civilians and public safety specialist like the Costa Mesa police officer pilots who volunteered their off duty time to help.
A special thanks to Peter Adderton who volunteered his helicopter to assist without regard for the expense involved to do that for as long as it took.
This is what public safety is all about. The professionals and the non-professionals that step up to help... I salute you all!
Tell us more about Peter Adderton and his helicopter. That's an aspect of this drama about which I hadn't heard. I'm glad to hear that he did so -- and saddened if his doing so was actually necessary to counter a lack of rescue equipment otherwise available.
Adderton is a Newport Beach resident - Google his name for his story - who attempted to help rescue the A.B.L.E. program from the scrap heap by proposing a public/private partnership. It was ignored. He owns a helicopter similar to those flown by A.B.L.E. and frequently employes former A.B.L.E. pilots. He's a low-key guy with a HUGE heart who uses his helicopter for many charitable causes. He volunteered his machine and some of the former A.B.L.E. pilots volunteered their time to provide whatever air support the search effort needed. It's my understanding taht there was no shortage of equipment available, but Adderton's helicopter and the expertise of the pilots was useful during the search. There'a a great photo floating around showing pilot Rob Dimel - a Costa Mesa police officer - topping off the tank of the LA Sheriff's helicopter just before it launched to rescue Kyndall Jack.
I wish we could make public a "THANK YOU" to Peter Adderton for his contribution in this search and rescue. Greg has a good point. I'd be curious to know if it made up for a lack of equipment on our part.
Did Riggy and Mensy join the search or was it too far from Newport?
Dear Robert,
Genis said she would go after the environmental analysis was completed. Leece got lost hiking out of her gated community.
The frogs stayed home unconvinced the search had anything to do with anti growth.
