Wakey wakey, Aberdeen Coastguard Rescue Team awoken at 0420 hours this morning, paged by Aberdeen Coastguard to assist at ARI.
Rescue 951 was inbound having been scrambled to a passenger ferry north of Peterhead where they airlifted a casualty from the ferry with chest pains.
The team arrived at the site and cleared it of debris.
[b]As Rescue 951 was coming to land, a member of the public attempted to run on to the landing site to get a better view of the helicopter. The Aberdeen Team managed to persuade the gentleman to leave the landing site so the chopper could land safely.[/b]
Rescue 951 did land safely and the casualty was transferred into the care of the Scottish Ambulance Service without further incident.
The team would like to take this opportunity to warn anyone that helicopters are dangerous machines and if one is landing in any environment- stay well clear! As well as the obvious dangers, you could be obstructing in an emergency which is a criminal offence.
This morning highlights the importance of the teams presence in securing the landing site as the gentleman involved could have potentially been given a new haircut!

"Idiot of the day" would surely be the person that couldn't manage to get all four words into his thread title?
But the pictures would've got loads of likes on facebook
