U.S. Air Force PJs jumped on board ship in Pacific
Six U.S. Air Force pararescuemen were deployed from Kadena on an unusual mission to save two sailors injured on a container ship 750 nautical miles north of Saipan on Saturday.

They provided medical support to the injured crew members of the ship while it sailed towards Saipan.

Once within 150 nautical miles from the island, HS-25 from the U.S. Navy launched two helicopters to pick them up.

Unfortunately one person died after arriving at the Guam Naval Hospital.
