“HELICOPTERS TO THE RESCUE”

Both, on land and at sea, helicopters have rescued many people. Helicopters can move in very small
spaces, and they can land almost anywhere. In addition, they can remain in one place in the air to make
a rescue.

The drivers of these cars had been going too fast, and they lost control. When the cars hit each other,
several people were hurt. Now they need medical help immediately. The rescue workers are going to
give first aid to all the injured people. Then, they’re going to carry the injured people to the helicopter.
The pilot of the helicopter is going to take them to the closest hospital. There the people are going to
receive medical help.

In the

second picture, the Coast Guard is helping two boatmen. Their boat is grounded on rocks, and the men
have been caught far from land. The Coast Guard rescuers are lowering lifebelts to the men. The
boatmen are going to climb into the cage; in the cage they’re going to ride up to the helicopter. Then
they’re going to put on dry clothes and drink some hot coffee. The boatmen hadn’t been looking

carefully at the sea when they ran into the rocks. They’re probably not going to make that mistake a
second time!
