Video: watch U.S. Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawks rescue 14 people form HMS Bounty in the Atlantic Ocean

The following video was released by the U.S. Coast Guard on Oct. 30.

It is particularly interesting because it witnesses, through images and audio, the rescue of 14 people from life rafts in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 90 miles southeast of Hatteras, N.C., on Monday, Oct. 29, when the replica 18th-century sailing vessel, rolled over in Superstorm Sandy‘s 18-foot waves.
