A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak aircrew aboard a C-130 Hercules aircraft dropped 10 oxygen bottles to the crew aboard the ship Alaska Victory, located 120 nautical miles west of Dutch Harbor on Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021.

A crewmember experiencing respiratory failure needed oxygen and a medical evacuation was considered too dangerous, due to the nearly 40 knot winds and 20-foot seas.
