I got to the top of the stairs and felt a bit dizzy. I remember thinking I'm going to fall over. I got onto one knee and then, that was it, I don't remember anything else.

Air Force combat search-and-rescue, also known as CSAR, is the military's force dedicated to rescuing downed aircrew. Combat search-and-rescue missions are dangerous under the best of conditions, ideally on dark nights with no moonlight.

The vessels were transporting aid to the Caribbean's island nation, amid biting shortages triggered by a tightened US embargo. They were due to arrive in Havana on Tuesday or Wednesday but failed to reach the island, prompting a search and rescue mission.

The vessel, which was ferrying migrants across the Aegean Sea en route to Europe, ignored repeated warnings to stop, with the pilot instead attempting to outrun them.

A car went into the water at the Sausalito Yacht Harbor Monday afternoon. Two people were in that car and both were rescued -- a bystander was able to dive in and pull one person out. That person was taken to the hospital. An emergency dive team was deployed to the scene and rescued the second person, who seems OK.

Fortunately for them, some people took some very, very courageous actions. Kudos to them for taking on extreme personal risk to help people they didn't even know. The news release says four people went onto the ice to help and some of them fell into the water too. Officers arrived on the scene and used safety equipment to help pull everyone to shore.

I stood on the edge of a cliff in Howth, clipped into a harness, listening as a Coast Guard officer calmly checked the ropes that were about to lower me down. Below, waves broke against the rocks at Whitewater Brook while walkers passed along the paths near us, largely unaware of the training exercise taking place just metres away.

The Coast Guard said it received an alert about the overturned vessel shortly before noon. The Yankee Rose had two people onboard when it capsized roughly three nautical miles northeast of Race Point in Provincetown, the agency said.

Two skiers at Palisades Tahoe, California, spotted the tips of skis protruding from deep snow on February 18 between KT-22 and Olympic Lady. They stopped and dug out a skier found upside down and buried in the deep powder, saving his life. The intense video of the rescue was shared on Threads to stress the need for skiing with a buddy.

Two Americans, a Japanese astronaut, and a Russian cosmonaut returned to Earth early Thursday after 167 days in orbit, cutting short their stay on the International Space Station by more than a month after one of the crew members encountered an unspecified medical issue last week. The early homecoming culminated in an on-target splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego at 3:41 am EST (08:41 UTC) inside a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.

If you are choking and are alone, try to get yourself into a high-traffic area, such as a hallway in a building or outside your house. If you pass out, you're way more likely to be found as opposed to being in a room in a building or your house. Call 911 even though you can't speak. Someone will be sent to your location by dispatch.

The Coast Guard launched a search and rescue mission early Friday after receiving an alert from the 72-foot Lily Jean about 25 miles off Cape Ann. Searchers found a debris field near where the alert was sent along with a body in the water and an empty life raft, the Coast Guard said. Crews covered about 1,000 square miles (2,589 square kilometers) using multiple aircraft, cutters and small boats over a 24-hour period.

The latest bombing brings the total death toll from US boat strikes to 125 since September, raising human rights concerns. The administration of President Donald Trump has announced United States' latest boat strike in international waters, which killed two people in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Friday's attack brings the total number of bombings to at least 36 since Trump began his campaign on September 2. An estimated 125 people have been killed, including the two latest casualties.

Maximo Macanas, a McKinleyville resident, was discovered by a local sport vessel on Tuesday, according to a Facebook post by the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office. He was pronounced dead by the county coroner's office on Tuesday afternoon. Macanas was fishing with a friend and his children at the Klamath River near 4351 Klamath Beach Road when he was swept away Saturday afternoon by what the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office described as a sneaker wave,

Jacob Rajaniemi's exact cause of death is being investigated along with the exact amount of time he'd been in the water before he was found, said Emily Fuller, a public information specialist with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office. "Our marine unit is conducting a boating accident investigation and the coroner's office is conducting their death investigation, so once those are both complete we should have a better idea of what happened," Fuller told The Press Democrat.
