"  RESCUE LITTER Kniep lowers a floating stretcher to lift immobilized victims including those with spinal injuries. His swimming counterpart below secures the injured to the board. HOIST The wire hoist can lift 600 pounds from 200 ft. below; if it swings out of view, Kniep hits the deck and peers overboard, operating the handheld control while flat on his stomach. DATUM MARKER BEACON To estimate where currents might have carried a victim, Kniep drops a DMB (not pictured) to the surface to calculate water speed and direction. HIGH-TECH HELO Made especially for the Coast Guard, the HH-65B Eurocopter can siphon fuel in flight from ships, and its Kevlar honey-comb composite body is well-suited for salty air. An autopilot/GPS mode can free pilots to make visual searches. &amp;quot;In New Orleans, we were hovering near tall trees, with powerlines only 20 ft. below the tail rotor.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
