#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

They literally took it off.

The Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, he has a relationship with Zeb, the owner of the aircraft, and he would be texting him to go do missions.

And I remember, I think it was like day two, I was like, why is the Lieutenant Governor, the second highest powerful guy, having you as a civilian fly officials around?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

And he was like, he can't get any support.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

He has no authority to do anything because the Governor of North Carolina won't do anything, apparently.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

He said he was AWOL for three days.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

I think that was like maybe Wednesday or something like that.

But, like, you know it's bad when the second highest powerful guy in North Carolina came and gave his own helicopter to fly people around.

It was outside Marion.

The county survey guy, he said that that river originally was only six inches deep and about a foot wide.

#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

And then when we flew over it,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

I think it was probably at least 60 meters wide.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

So all the houses that were near there literally just got completely demolished and flushed because it was like a mudslide and just the river overflowed.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

So this whole area was cleared about 60 meters wide.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

Vehicles just tumbled into it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

I think he told us at that location about 15 deaths.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

At that one location, about 15 people were killed there.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

Yeah.

#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

I mean, so that, the lady with the no auction that we went to go rescue, on the way over there, we've passed four bridges that were just completely demolished.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#138 Aerial Recovery - The Hurricane Helene Disaster

Four bridges.
