Hosted by Sgt. 1st Class Clay Benningfield, Lowe recounts the rapid mobilization of UH-60 Black Hawk crews, high-risk hoist rescues in flooded and mountainous terrain, split-second decision-making under extreme conditions, and the deep personal impact of saving fellow Kentuckians during one of the state’s worst natural disasters.
