Helicopter rescues teen from Skokomish River

HOODSPORT, Wash. - Mason County authorities rescued a 15-year-old girl who fell off a cliff into the Skokomish River Tuesday afternoon.

It happened on a hike with several other people in the Skokomish River Canyon under the Steel Bridge, which is 450 feet high.

The girl was suffering from injuries and hypothermia.
DNR Wildfire teams answered the call for help. They needed every bit of muscle to pull the young victim out.
When the Whidbey Island Navy helicopter arrived, the team carefully reviewed the scene and did what most witnesses coudn't believe - they went under the High Steel Bridge.

With just feet to spare on each side of the blades, the crew hovered over the river than sent their rescuer into the water.

Nervous moments passed before the victim and rescuer wildly spinning in the crosswinds were elevated into the helicopter.

With the family of the victim watching, the pilot backed the helicopter out of the narrow, wind-filled canyon and safely pulled up.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
