This video shows you an actual boat rescue in progress. A speedboat has flipped over in NYC's Central Park Conservatory Water so a nearby fireboat rescues it by flipping it back to its proper position. Of course, since this is a speedboat, the ungrateful thing zips off immediately, and is not seen again. I happen to know the man (Dick Conners) who pilots the fireboat in this video. [0:57]
I have a photoessay in the works about the boathouse where these model boats are housed, since Dick was so kind as to bring me into this space and allow me to photograph the many gorgeous boats (nearly all of them are sailboats).
