Wow! Lucky man on many levels. Thankfully it was during the day when visibility was on his side. Great video.

My wife sent me the link to this as well. She said, "Let's practice MOB drills this season - looks like it could come in handy!"

...that, and staying home in 50-70 conditions. Of course, when you're half way from China to San Francisco, you don't have that option... There you are!

I'm not an expert at this, but that did not look like 50-70 kts to me. Based on what I've read in textbooks (I avoid those conditions), it looked like Beaufort force 6.

Yup... Remember that this recovery was about an hour and a half after the MOB. That alone is sobering! Wait for 90 minutes and then reply to this... It's a LONG TIME!
