Pilot flying Helene rescue missions in NC ordered out, threatened with arrest

LAKE LURE, N.C. (WJZY) – When Jordan Seidhom woke up Saturday morning, he saw a Facebook post that tens of thousands of people were commenting on and sharing.

A family was stranded on a mountain in Banner Elk, North Carolina. They had run out of water a day earlier and had just enough food to last less than two days.

  1. If he's a Fire Chief then he's a Public Servant - and he has a name. What's his name, so we can all extend our appreciation?

  2. Sounds to me like some asshole yielding an ego and power, let that get in the way of common sense...this story should be over, not yet, until a proper response and apology to the pilot is issued. Jeez, people, it's a catastrophic area, get over yourselves, get you head outta your asses, this dude was a hero!

  6. They need to terminate the Fire Marshall for Conduct Unbecoming of a Human Being!

    I have had my share of run-ins with fire marshals in the construction business. Many of them think they are more important than they really are but if you don't kiss their asses, they hold up or deny final inspections/ occupancy.

  7. Whoever ordered them to stop needs to be removed and dropped off on an isolated mountain top

  8. There are always two sides to a story - we got one side here. But you have to ask yourself just WTF is really going on? From this vantage point, someone should have displayed a middle finger and kept the job going.

    1. Do tell, what "other side of this story" justifies denying these people desperately needed assistance? Take all the time you need.

  9. Same shit, different place.
    Just like Lahaina. Some bloated ego fuck's going out of his way to let people die because 'I got a badge so respect mah authoritah!'

  10. I can understand the need for coordination and communication but let the man rescue her husband.

  11. Word of this should spread like wildfire in that town and that "fire official" should feel lucky if he's not tarred and feathered or ends up dead in a ditch. What. The. Fuck?

  12. This unnamed "Lake Lure fire official" sounds like a real peach, if all the dick moves attributed to him are accurate. It would be a shame if he, and the "two law enforcement officers" that apparently backed him up with their own dick moves, were to have to answer for their BS.

    1. He should be named. And shunned. Or worse.

    2. Worse. Much worse. Fuck those guys. I really do hope we start to see these pricks hanging off overpasses ala Mexican cartel score settling. It is long past time for that to be a thing here, because a message needs to be sent to these authoritarians in the strongest possible terms.

      No interference should be tolerated in privately headed relief and rescue efforts by those with the capability and willingness to do so.

  13. I am betting this is simply a government opportunity (never let a good opportunity go to waste) to punish an area that voted the incorrect way.

  14. Typical Law Enforcement mentality.

    If yer not in control, yer under control.

    Respec Mah Uthoriteh.

    And they wanna be the heroes. No one else. .

  15. Did he even have the authority to make such a threat? What law put a Fire Chief in charge of such an operation?

    1. He was working in conjunction with law enforcement. As he threatened arrest, there were two Officer Friendlies nearby eager to move in with a wave of his mighty hand to arrest any and all non-compliant Good Samaritan wannabes.

  16. This is the demonkrap's Ameirika, only authorized government officials are allowed to make decisions, fuck the hunger, thirsty, trapped and possibly dying up on those mountains..

  17. Everybody above is wrong. This is just PART of the AGENDA to degrade, control, kill legacy America. Same shit they pulled at ALL the fires out west and in Hawaii. Remember that congress recently passed a law allowing the declaring of disaster areas so they could be taken over and push the citizens out to live, ultimately, in 15 minute cities. The "NWO. WEF, CFR, types are running the machine through their deep state organizations. Just like they're killing off independent farmers and cattle ranchers. Look how much they degraded EVERYTHING with the Covidioucy. How many people were fired and reduced to poverty? How many independent small and medium businesses were destroyed. These aren't "unlikely, accidental, tragedies", weaponized weather, manipulated financial crashes, plandemics, forced artificial wars, environmental fascism, destroyed food processing/storage centers, every electronic thing tracks, spy's on us, isn't some conspiracy theory, it's the long game of the evil fuckers. Expand your Overton Window. Worse is a veritable, thundering, juggernaut, barreling down the hill. Call it The New World Order where you will own nothing and like it, because you have some bugs to eat and you're out of the rain. Fix things locally, but (((THEY))) are acting glow bully.
    Stay frosty out there folks.
    That should up my priority on "the Lists".

  18. Pussy (cowardly) cops "don't know what to do". Should have thrown the fire chief in jail, no food or water until everyone is rescued.
