Roughest RNLI lifeboat rescues in huge waves and stormy seas

Wait…I want to see an interview with crazy tractor man.

These men and women walk around the streets of Britain and are seemingly just like you and I, until their pager goes off. Then these seemingly normal people risk everything they have ever known, their existence, in all weathers, at all times, to rescue, to preserve life no matter who you are or where you came from. Many of these RNLI heroes have died in pursuit of returning stricken sailors to their families, please send your spare pennies their way whenever you see an RNLI collection pot, it's a crime they do all this for free. Wonderful, seafaring, fearless heroes, and often the best of sheer British lunacy.

Why is it ''royal'' when we pay for it?

True heroes!

God bless them

absolutelty the best. stunning to watch you in action. THANKYOU !

Respect

Funny thay don't show them taxis

It is a shame that the RNLI has been reduced to a taxi service to flood the country with forigen scum , no more donations ever

ITS A WONDER THEY HAVE TIME NORMALLY TO BUSY PICKING UP FOREIGNERS DSY AFTER DAY ✌️🇬🇧

Watching that rescue boat backing into those big waves was quite amazing. Normally, if you survive that situation, you can count yourself either skillful or extremely lucky, this was extremely skillful with a top notch vessel.

Taxi service now

You flogging a dead horse 🐎 your donations will dry up for doing illegal taxis service disgraceful

The bravest of the brave, I have huge respect for anyone who serves on a Lifeboat. Every time they launch their lives are at the highest risk. No Government support or interference, saving lives each and every time.

great crews, great boats, great job

Makes a biro job look real lame.

Anyone here after reading "Let not the Deep" bu Mike Lunnon?

Gods bless you all and keep you safe, sorry for your loses and whether mission success or not the point is your all still out there risking your lives and the chance of not seeing your loved ones again. No one could ask for anymore than what you do thank each and every one of you 💪

As a yachtsman, my hat comes off to the RNLI .... AND the lifeboatsmen of our neighbours. Many of these clips show the rescue of foreign flagged vessels - but let's not forget the mutual service and heroism of our neighbours

Respect x

You're cutting away too much.

Now spending a vast amount of time as Uber in the channel!

Living in Lerwick i know just how rough these waters can be hats of to these fellas

The sea and I have an understanding. Part of my life. Abd my dad who was on the lifeeboats.

These guys are like the SAS of rescuers

People say ,"in force so and so"but it's the previous weather that can make the biggest difference when the seas become lumpy or wind works against tide closing waves up.

going over a bar,tide and wind?

The Newhaven crew are just typical of our RNLI men and women - brave and determined heroes.

Legends! Thankyou.

The men and women of the RNLI are the best in the world at what they do. Volunteers, most of them don't get paid but are willing to put their lives in danger. Heroes 💚👍

Okay, those self-righting boats are hella cool

Very brave fellows. They must have strong stomachs.

I love those hybrid rigid/inflatable boats. They're awesome tough! (Of course, they also have to be skillfully handled, but still.)

I used to support the RNLI until they became the Dover taxi service for illegal immigrants !!

Even though I live on an island 🇮🇲, I’ve never been living close enough to a station, to be an RNLI crew member, but I’ve always supported them through a monthly contribution, the guys and gals who put to sea, when others are running for shelter….are the bravest volunteers in the world…..👍🇮🇲

Balls to the sea walls…these people have much respect…

Considering how much the RNLI has contributed to maritime safety over the years, I still cannot understand why they have not been made an official emergency response unit with full government funding. These highly trained, skilled professionals have demonstrated time and time again why they are necessary. Perhaps the RNLI prefer their autonomy pertaining to decision making and if that is the case, then the government should at least be partially funding their efforts in order that they can purchase more boats and equipment.

The bravest of heroes doing Gos's work

20 years before the mast !! It aint no game, brothers and sisters. This is as rough and tough as it gets.
Respect from USA

The bravery to get on a sinking ship to help people is just incredible, to make that decision knowing that you're risking your life from a place of safety

Oh look, the RNLI taxi service is off to ferry more illegal migrants across the channel from one safe country to another!

This is just a series of “big-wave” videos where the actual rescues are not included. Largely click bait…

Yup. Much bravery at work here. Not to mention an intrepid tractor driver that drove the RIB head first into crashing waves. The sea can rip metal. People don’t think it will but guess again. I’ve heard about surface ships and subs that get there entire decks wiped clear by a crashing wave. Stanchions, rigging, railing — I mean it’ll just clean the whole deck off if the sea is angry enough.

I’m still waiting for the big waves

Wow they showed up

There was a friend of mine I met him before the day he died. When we met he was telling me that he have big goals in the future and he wants to graduate from the best university and the next day at night I got a text message from another friend that he is no more. When I asked the reason he told that that guy was on the beach with his friends and they were betting on who go farther in the water to win the bet he keep on going and suddenly he disappears. His friends searched but they didn't found him. Coast guards started their searching and found his body after two days which was hitting the rocks. After this incident I don't like beach anymore. Even if I go with my family sometime I only stand in the hut and watch the ocean. May he rest in peace and may God be pleased with him.

This should be shown in cinemas to show audiences real superheroes.

OMG.

Lol the tractor swam
