The rope is cut from a Huey helicopter from the Aircraft Operations branch at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida before the helicopter begins to fly out of a training area during a training exercise. Moments earlier, Emergency Response Team officers from the Protective Services branch descended from the helicopter to begin the mission. The flight was the beginning of a training mission to simulate a situation the team and pilots could confront at the center. Photo credit: NASA/Dan Casper
