Cruise ship traveler needs help 120 miles off Washington. See Coast Guard video
A cruise ship passenger having a medical emergency needed help 120 miles off Washington, rescuers say. Rescuers got the message at about 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 29, west of Grays Harbor, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a news release. A 71-year-old woman was on a Carnival Legend cruise ship when she started having a 'cardiac event,' the Coast Guard said. The ship was going from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to San Francisco. Teams flew to the ship and lowered a litter to retrieve the woman at about 8:40 p.m. The woman was then airlifted and taken to a Coast Guard base in Astoria, Oregon, rescuers said. 'While carrying out a critical long-range medical evacuation from a cruise ship, Coast Guard Northwest District units also stood ready to respond to the threat of a distant tsunami,' said Air Station Astoria Cmdr. Neal Corbin said in the release. Tsunami warnings were issued July 29 for parts of Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California following an 8.8-magnitude earthquake that hit off Russia. The Carnival Legend is a 963-foot long ship that can carry more than 2,100 passengers and 930 crew members.

Watch: Construction workers rescued after falling 60 feet into empty water tower
TAHOLAH, Wash. – Four construction workers were rescued on Tuesday after they fell 60 feet through the roof of a large, empty water tower under construction in western Washington and were left unable to walk. Two rescue swimmers were first deployed via U.S. Coast Guard helicopter into the water tank near Taholah, along the Washington coast. They then used a rescue basket to hoist the injured men into the aircraft one at a time. Video from the USCG shows rescue crews hoisting one of the men into a helicopter as he laid on a stretcher. All four men were transported to medics on the scene, who then flew the injured by medical helicopter to a local hospital.
