HELICOPTERS AND MORE NEEDED: Biden Policies Costing Lives In Hurricane Deaths
Developing Now.
EUGENE DELGAUDIO PRESIDENT OF PUBLIC ADVOCATE SAYS:
"Testimony on various news sites and other sources show a real lack of deployment of helicopters on a grand scale including the threatening of arrest to private helicopter operators to prevent the immediate rescue of thousands with no other options in the mountainous areas impacted by the Hurricanes. In addition to the lack of helicopter response from the entire governorment and the attempt to stop private helicopter rescues there is an even bigger mess up costing lives by the Biden Administration on another front."
Elon Musk posts "Had the FCC not illegally revoked the SpaceX Starlink award, it would probably have saved lives in North Carolina" in commenting on an assertion by "Alex" "North Carolina would have 19,522 working @Starlink kits available today after Hurricane Helene had the FCC not revoked in bad faith the grant that was awarded to Space X as the winning bidder".
A South Carolina pilot who flew stranded Hurricane Helene victims in flood-ravaged North Carolina to safety claims he was told he would be arrested if he continued the rescue missions.
Jordan Seidhom was flying victims out of the devastation over the weekend when local leaders told him there was a flight restriction on the area and that they would have to arrest him if he continued making flights.

Hurricane Helene has been called one of the worst storms in modern history, with at least 160 people dead and many more missing as of Tuesday evening. It destroyed homes and businesses, tore up roads and caused heavy floods that swept cars away like children's toys.
The storm was also a galvanizing event for the U.S. helicopter community, which rushed out to deliver water, diapers and other critical supplies in areas other vehicles couldn't reach.
On Monday, pilots from the volunteer group Operation Airdrop flew a reported 37 private helicopters to shore up relief and rescue efforts in North Carolina's high country.
"We just kind of organized a private helicopter army to go in and survey the damage and extract people and take supplies and create landing zones," said volunteer pilot Matt McSwain in an interview with WCNC Charlotte.
"We've had people from Texas to Maine, all the way to the East Coast just show up and [say], 'How do we help?' "
