This title from the four-part PBS series delves into the deeps of dangerous rescue missions in the mysterious ocean blue. Along with Savage Seas: Killer Storms, Savage Seas: Killer Waves, and Savage Seas: The Deep, narrator Stacy Keach takes viewers to the bottom of the sea and beyond. In this episode, the planning, facilitation, and process of water-based rescues are examined. Shocking and thrilling footage of a small fishing boat being crushed by an iceberg on the Bering Sea shows viewers how a sea rescue works, while the ill-fated Estonia ferry incident portrays the tragedies that can result even when specially trained rescue workers give their all. Not for the faint of heart, this hearty, seafaring video details the relief and tragedy that comes with the job of deep sea rescue operations.
