Pilot Recounts Recording Silly Selfie Video After Plane Crashed in Pacific Ocean
August 21, 2019
Video shows a plane crashing into the Pacific Ocean Tuesday during an aerial photo shoot involving two aircraft. One of planes during the shoot malfunctioned and crashed near Half Moon Bay, about 9 miles from San Francisco. The single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza lost power. Miraculously, the pilot, David Lesh, and his passenger made it out alive. As the plane sunk farther into the sea, the survivors gathered anything that would float and shot video of their entire ordeal as they tread water.
