Listen Later

In this gripping two-part episode, listeners are transported back to the stormy sea on January 23rd, 1995, where Coast Guard rescuer Michael Odom faces the ultimate test of skill and courage. Part one sets the stage as Coast Guard Helicopter 6019 hovers above the turbulent waves, and Odom prepares for the perilous mission ahead - the rescue of survivors from the battered sailboat Mirage. But just as the rescue operation is underway, a sudden twist throws everything into chaos.

In part two, the tension escalates as Odom finds himself alone in the unforgiving Atlantic Ocean, left behind by the very helicopter he served to save others. Buffeted by waves and battling exhaustion, Odom's harrowing struggle for survival unfolds against the backdrop of a relentless winter storm. With each passing moment, the odds of rescue grow slimmer, and Odom is forced to confront the grim reality of his situation.

As listeners hold their breath, they are drawn into Odom's desperate fight for survival, wondering if he will defy the odds once again or if the stormy sea will claim yet another victim. Tune in to this pulse-pounding conclusion of high-stakes rescue on the high seas to discover the fate of Michael Odom and the sailors he fought so bravely to save.
