I'll begin by explaining the title, for those unfamiliar with North American slang. Generally used to explain slow traffic on the opposite side of the highway from an accident, rubber-necking describes the rather morbid yet inherent curiosity we humans have in another individual's suffering.

At sea, the ambulance is a US Coast Guard Helicopter that comes to retrieve a seriously ill passenger from a cruise ship. With over 4000 people aboard year-round, these moments are bound to arise. When they do they are handled professionally and efficiently. No matter what the time of day, the event always draws a crowd. This time we were about 200 miles off the coast of Florida.
