Two medevacs off Louisiana

The US Coast Guard medevaced a 66-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman on Oct 20, 2024, from the 'Carnival Liberty'. Coast Guard Sector New Orleans watchstanders received a report on Oct 19 from the cruise ship of the man with stroke-like symptoms while the ship was sailing approximately 55 miles southeast of Southwest Pass, Louisiana. On Oct 20, watchstanders received a report from the cruise ship of a 30-year-old woman with appendicitis-like symptoms while transiting near Port Sulphur, Louisiana. Watchstanders coordinated the launches of a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter to conduct the medevacs for both people. The aircrews arrived on-scene for each report respectively and transported them to University Medical Center to awaiting emergency medical services personnel. The man and woman were both last reported in stable condition. Report with video: https://www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Releases/Article/3940776/coast-guard-medevacs-two-off-louisiana-coast/

Hurricane Dorian Relief Supplies on Their Way to Freeport via Carnival Liberty
