US Coast Guard (USCG) sea and air units worked together to help two boaters who hit an oil rig and were taking on water off the coast of Louisiana on Tuesday, March 12.

A third person went overboard and is still missing, according to USCG Air Station New Orleans.

Footage shows the aircrew arriving on scene and lifting the two injured men. Both were transported to University Medical Center New Orleans, and were “conscious and responsive,” according to the coast guard.

“Bravo Zulu to the crew who flew their tails off all day today!” the USCG said on Facebook.

USCG units continued searching for the missing man, with plans to add more ships and aircraft to the search. Credit: USCG Air Station New Orleans via Storyful
