    A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter (tail number 6029, based in Clearwater) has made an emergency landing in a rural, vegetated area. A large crowd of local civilians has gathered around the orange-and-white rescue helicopter, appearing to assist or observe. The setting appears to be a tropical location, consistent with Haiti or a Caribbean island, likely during a disaster relief operation.

    A crowd of villagers in the Dominican Republic flock to a Coast Guard helicopter. The helicopter crew made the difficult decision to land to check on the children at a local school. The village is surrounded on all sides by flood water caused by Tropical Storm Noel. The villagers put themselves in serious danger by running up to the running helicopter.
