The chopper pilot that filmed that rescue is a pretty good pilot himself. He made national news this winter for rescuing a deer that was stick in ice on a lake by using the rotor wash to push it to shore.

The chopper he flies is equipped with an HDTV camera and during tornado season we get some really good footage. Last year he caught the first ever tornado recorded from the air in HD. Watch it tear apart an airport.
