10 years later, releasing that these are the images, this is the way that dzenan catic looks now, and some say some has changed, but not enough? >> what we saw was harrowing, we are trained to do that. we are 9-year veterans of the navy. i don't think anything can prepare you to see that kind of construction. i don't think anyone was prepared to see the level of discussion and human suffering that we saw, to be a part of it, to help in even a maul way is a blessing. >> to give relief. >> dzenan catic was a political hot potato, 10 years later, do we know the real story now that all the agencies have been vetted and a what could be said has been cleared. do we know 10 years later what happened? >> i could tell you. i'm a pilot of the coast guard. i don't think anyone was prepared for that. to look amount the response then, today, we work with partners on a regular basis from other agencies, and i think we were a lots more prepared for what could happen. i don't think anyone is prepared for the management of the storm. my major is meteorology, and this turned into category 5. i don't think anyone was prepared. i think looking at the response then, as compared to - the level now, is night and day. we did what we could back then. and all agencies responded to the best of their ability. but it's unprecedented, the scope of this. >> 10 years later, do we have the sexual story, do we know what happened? >> i think dealing with something of this magnitude, i don't think anyone was prepared for that level of disaster. i think we have learnt what we are going to learn, and the - the response and the, you know, communication between the agencies increased so much since then, i think is the big benefit, if it can be described that way. have we learnt what caused it, and why the delay was as slow as some say it was. i don't know. >> we see the image of you flying over, we know it's you, we can read your name on the back. helmet. i'm curious, you saved so many people, you heard from the survivors, if so, what do they tell you. >> for a couple of rescue missions, specifically the first day, we dropped people off on the i-10 interstate because that was the only high ground above water. it was an old, laud helicopter, and we had people come up and shake our hand. we don't do it for medals or submission, that satisfaction, frankly i would not expect them to find me, and i couldn't gind them. dropping them off on dry ground after the heroin adventure, that was rewarding, and that is thankfulness that i like. >> cooper cronk, but one of the people that you rescued suffered a heart attack, right. >> yes, sir, on the second rescue mission. we asked if they could hoist 20 people from a flooded school. that was day five. the rescues was in full swing, it was night and day from the first to the fifth day, there was command and control. we saw the big helicopter we flue, called the h3 sea king. there are big helicopters playing a lot of people, hoisting 20 from the school. and while we were going to the new orleans international airport. one of the guys were going into cardiac arrest. i radioed to the tower. they gave us permission to lands in front of a line of 10 helicopters. we landed between a couple of gates and had paramedics taking it away. >> i can't tell if they survived or not. but the response will come. it's fantastic. if there was any chance of surviving. the priority handling. if we pay so much attention to new orleans, and the images that we saw, as we mentioned in the beginning, the elderly woman in the wheelchair dying, waiting for rescuers to reach her. i was struck by comments, saying there was no one left to rescue and houses were ripped from their foundation and god. >> right. i mean, once you fly west from bence cola, and you pass mississippi. there wasn't debris left. it was a foundation of where a house used to be, and there was nobody there, and it was for miles and miles and just the other destruction. the house would have been moved off the foundation and destroyed. it continued all the way on into new orleans total destruction everywhere you looked. >> all of you were operating off of paper. we had a very rudimentary, so everything we did was paper anyway. that was not too out of the norm for us. take us into the belly of the beast. you ran out of jet fuel. as you were heading back to base, you were flying over people that need help. what did that do to your gut? >> it was tough. we - the comment about the paper, the coast guard was doing the best they could. no electricity. everything was manufactured on a bored. it was basically back in the stone age. we had to do the rescues until night time, because we weren't equipped. it was tough to see, because there's probably 1,000 different points of flashlights, and we were flying home. they were stuck in courtyards. there were many things about the next day, i consider myself a tough guys, i had a couple of ris cue summers. everyone felt it. there were people left on the roofs stranded. it was hard to see. >> let me ask you this before we go, is there a time - that is there about a day - i heard that emotion in your voice. has there been a day that you didn't think about what happened that day, weeks and months that follow. >> it's a complicated question. you can see in my wallet i have some pictures, i'm proud of what we did. it hurts to know that so many were suffering. it feels good to do the business that you were trained to do, to help relieve. i fly in the coast guard. if i seem tired. i was up at 4:30. i'm blessed to do it. when i think about it. i think about how much we are lucky to do this. we see the bases, hovering at 50 feet, no matter how big the helicopter is. >> 10 years lair, is there a day you don't think about katrina. >> every time i see that picture, i think about flying in pensacola, which brings me back to flying hurricane katrina, the people we could help, and
