Passengers Forced to Swim to Shore After Plane Lands in Sea
Rui Mesquita Cordeiro/GettyA small passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing in the waters off Haiti on Wednesday, forcing its pilot and two passengers to swim for safety. The twin-engine Cessna 402B, operated by ZED Airlines as Flight 6502, was traveling from Cap-Haïtien to Port-au-Prince when it went down near Ibo Beach shortly after 11 a.m. Images and video from the scene showed the aircraft partially submerged in shallow water as the three occupants made their way toward shore. All three people aboard survived the incident without serious injuries. Emergency responders were dispatched to the area, and the passengers were later rescued with assistance from a helicopter. In a statement, ZED Airlines said the passengers and pilot were receiving support and praised the pilot’s actions during the emergency. The airline credited the safe outcome to the pilot’s quick response and handling of the aircraft. The cause of the emergency landing remains under investigation. ZED said its technical team will work alongside aviation authorities to determine what went wrong, and passenger safety remains its top priority.Read it at The SunRead more at The Daily Beast.
