Just noticed this on the buzz. A boater pinned underwater in 2011 and was extracted alive after 30 minutes. They had headcam footy of the whole thing and just posted it. Lots to learn and reflect on here:

Gripping.
 
Lot to learn from in that video.
 
Saw this article giving the pinned boater's perspective:

Wow   that was tough to watch ! You cant even see him ,the pinned boater in vid.  Major credit to all his buddies trying everything they can think of to get to him out. In the end IT APPEARS that the boat just became unpinned.
 
After awhile when things calm down and everybody knows he's ok and the vid becomes a study vid it would be humerous to put a " fu*k ! " counter on the vid. Its got to be about a 100.     
 
Glad he's OK !
