Coast Guard Special Ops Team in Action
Greetings from the chilly shores of Cape Cod!
I came up to the Boston area yesterday from New York to shoot a really cool story, about what the United States Coast Guard is doing these days to keep our waters safe, and keep terrorist and criminal activity at bay.
I’m filling in for the lovely and talented Molly Line here for this story — one that’s been in the making for months. As you can imagine, these teams aren’t just sitting around, when they get a call to action, they go. The Boston FNC team has been working on this story for months, but there have been many delays due to the Coast Guard’s schedule. This week, everything fell into place to have us jump aboard many different types of boats and ships to film the risky and dangerous missions these teams train for to keep all of us safe.
Right now, we are following a Coast Guard H-60 helicopter, or “Jayhawks” similar to the Army’s blackhawks. We are not going up in these, we are going on a boat and will be filming special ops teams “fast roping” out of these onto a cargo ship! More pictures to come…..
Keep checking back!
Laura Ingle has been with FNC since 2005, and was also a
correspondent for FOX’s syndicated news magazine program, “Geraldo
at Large.” Ingle has covered major criminal cases and natural
disasters, including the Scott Peterson and Michael Jackson
trials, wildfires, mudslides, and Hurricane Katrina. She most
recently covered Pope Benedict’s visit to New York and the
Manhattan crane collapse that killed seven. She was formerly a
radio reporter and news anchor with KFI-AM 640 in Los Angeles and
with KFBK-AM 1530 in her hometown of Sacramento. She is currently
based in New York.
Our unsung heroes who deserve much more credit than they deserve. They risk their lives in extremely dangerous situations but when you hear people talk about our military forces everyone seems to forget about the USCG! Fox News, we need more great stories like this!
