Helicopter pilot threatened with arrest after flying rescue missions in flood-ravaged NC
“I can only imagine what the people were thinking. You’ve been stranded for 24, 36 hours. No way to speak with anyone. You don’t know what’s going on and you see a lifeline fly over and they keep going. I can only imagine what they were thinking.”
He added: “If I had to do it over again, I would have stopped and I would have rescued as many people until they decided they were going to arrest me.”
Officials in the town of Lake Lure could not immediately be reached by The Post on Wednesday.
