Underwater Escape in the Baltic Sea

Published: Aug. 23, 2016, 6:01 p.m.

In the Baltic Sea, more than 70 pilots, co-pilots and loadmasters take part in a routine air crash training exercise. Each person is lowered into the sea in a metal simulator cage, and must then escape while underwater. The exercise is designed to test the entire search and rescue system and so helicopters are scrambled to rescue the airmen as though in a real emergency situation.
