Excerpt from the article:
In a shocking twist to rescue efforts in flood-ravaged Lake Lure, North Carolina, a local fire chief allegedly threatened to arrest a heroic pilot saving Hurricane Helene victims. The unbelievable moment was captured in a video interview with the rescuers by a local news station, sparking outrage and disbelief across social media.
Seidhom, a seasoned pilot with over 1,400 flight hours and a law enforcement background, had been using his privately owned helicopter to rescue stranded flood victims. Many areas in Lake Lure are only accessible by air, and desperate families waved him down for help. Seidhom, alongside his high school junior son, made multiple rescues, including a couple trapped without food or water and two women stranded in an Airbnb.
However, when Seidhom returned to continue his rescue mission, the Lake Lure fire chief reportedly halted his efforts, accusing him of “interfering” with their operations and threatening arrest. The fire chief’s shocking decision left Seidhom’s son and another flood victim stranded on the mountain, as Seidhom was barred from returning.
Volunteers threatened with arrest?
What has this country come to?
Maybe somebody can get to the bottom of this and get some accountability.
