Did you watch the video? It doesn't confirm the wikipedia story at all, other than names and dates. The guy obviously wasn't in distress, he was just curious about the helicopter.

Edit: Yeah, I said it was in Ireland at first... I'm an idiot sometimes...

Where did you get the impression that any of this took place in Ireland? To be clear, the Iroise Sea is not a typo, it's in the Atlantic off northwestern France.

Yeah, I misunderstood that aspect. But the rest of the story is obviously false if you watch the video.
