In this high-stakes episode of Callout Search And Rescue Series 3 Episode 8, we follow the team as they race against a disappearing sun to save a snowmobiler trapped 90 feet deep inside a treacherous glacier crevasse. With the victim recording a heartbreaking goodbye message to his family, the team must decide between a slow rope extraction or a daring, experimental helicopter long-line rescue. Meanwhile, at the 442 Squadron in British Columbia, rookie pilots face the intense pressure of learning to hover the 32,000lb CH-149 Cormorant. When equipment fails and hurricane-force winds move in, these trainees realize that in the world of SAR, one mistake means a life is lost.
