Please, please don't show that helicopter rescue again!

I got caught watching it and now I think I've spun something loose in my already diminished brain. CNN is to blame, I should know better.

That was quite a ride she received. She will not want to “rescued” again.

On the eve of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, somehow this doesn't seem very significant.

Dreadful and completely unnecessary. All it takes to stop this is an additional safety line.

One has nothing to do with the other.

We can’t shut it down on every somber day of remembrance. She hated that ride despite the day.

All it would have taken was for the helo to move forward and get her out out the hover downwash which they finally did near the end.

I wish they would show the video of her pinning the tail on the donkey, when they landed.
