    An aerial photograph shows a sailboat on open ocean water, with what appears to be a person in the water nearby wearing a bright yellow life vest or survival suit. The sailboat displays an American flag and has the number '149' visible on its sail, which appears partially damaged or furled. This appears to be a maritime distress or rescue situation.
    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter, marked with its distinctive red and white livery, hovers over open ocean waters during what appears to be a search and rescue operation. A rescue basket is suspended below the helicopter on a hoist cable, with what appears to be a person or equipment visible inside. The sea conditions appear rough with choppy waves visible across the entire frame.
