Personnel from Air Station Kodiak and Anchorage Fire Department paramedics transfer an injured patient from the Coast Guard HC-130 to the awaiting ambulance at Elmendorf Air Force Base Dec. 29, 2008. The Coast Guard air lifted three Indian nationals from the chemical oil tanker Bum Chin 200 miles south of Adak Island earlier in the day by helicopter. The men were transferred to the HC-130 in Adak for further transport to Anchorage. They arrived in stable condition and were taken to Providence Hospital. The men were injured on Saturday by a rogue wave while aboard the ship 700 miles from Adak. (Coast Guard photo/PA1 Sara Francis)
