6)  Rescue Swimmers
Jumping into danger to save lives. A new team of rescuers is born into the Coast Guard and the training is intense. When Weather Changed History takes a look at the Rescue Swimmers.
On Feb. 11, 1983, the 587-foot cargo ship was carrying 27,000 tons of coal along the Virginia coast bound for Massachusetts. When a blizzard swept offshore, the ship capsized, leaving only a handful of crewmembers alive. The Navy had a rescue swimmer program at that time, but not the Coast Guard. Both agencies responded to the accident, but collectively were only able to save three of the 34 crew.
Shortly after, the Coast Guard rescue swimmer program was born and its swimmers have since saved hundreds of lives, particularly shining during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
