A rescuer could be seen rappelling down from an MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter onto the Disney Fantasy, floating in the Atlantic Ocean northwest of Puerto Rico, in video shared by the Coast Guard. The 35-year-old woman was strapped to a gurney and reeled into the helicopter in the heart-pounding moment.
