SC pilot flying volunteer supply and rescue missions ordered out of Lake Lure under arrest threat

LAKE LURE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — When Jordan Seidhom woke up Saturday morning, he saw a Facebook post that tens of thousands of people were commenting on and sharing. A family was stranded on a mountain in Banner Elk, North Carolina.
They ran out of water a day earlier and just enough food to last less than two days.

Seidhom, the former head of the Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office narcotics unit, knows a thing or two about finding people. He researched the mountain chain where the family was located and found a place to land on his mapping software.

He loaded bottled water and food into his helicopter and headed toward Banner Elk.
“I thought, I have a helicopter, maybe I can help,” Seidhom told Queen City News Chief Investigator Jody Barr.

Unbelievable, does this insanity have a stopping point?

That fire official should be relieved of his position. Rather than saving lives, his actions or lives at very real risk. In my opinion, he is not cut out for the role his position requires.

How sad. Here is someone willing to risk his own life to come and help just to encounter this moron. Reminds me of the cities that don’t allow churches to feed homeless people.

And President Biden's look-see flight stopped all air rescues for 5 hours.
