He's too weak to pull himself up.

Bob has one handful of the skipper's half-inflated neck collar, but now that's slipping too.

The flight mechanics don't seem to realize Mark is there.

They keep yanking the basket sideways, trying to slide it inside the helicopter.

But with each yank, Mark's head and shoulders get slammed into the helicopter's underside, just inches below the open cabin door.

No, wait!

Stop!

Stop!

Bob screams until his throat is raw, but it's no use.

The Coast Guard rescuers can't hear him, even though they're only a few feet away.

He looks back down at Mark, whose eyes now have a vacant look.

But then the basket gets yanked again.

Bob watches, helpless, as his friend's head hits the steel rail just beneath the doorframe.

The jolt of it knocks Bob's hand from Mark's collar.

Bob's eyes lock with Mark Morley's one last time, and then Mark lets go and falls backwards towards the sea.

Before Bob can see him hit the water, the basket swings abruptly to one side, and Bob tumbles onto the floor of the Jayhawk, sobbing.

Mark is gone, and he couldn't save him.

Flight mechanic Fred Kalt staggers back from the open cabin door, trying to make sense of what just happened.

The man they rescued is sprawled out on the cabin floor, crying hysterically.

Kalt turns to the rescue swimmer Mike Fish.
