Without pause, without time to look away from the helicopter that was appeared on the horizon a couple of helicopters also would make a mock rescue of a castaway, this time two young volunteers who were previously released to water. Rescuers would be a Puma helicopter service for Search and Rescue Air Force (SAREA) and a Eucureuil medicalized Fire Asturias.
