I was about 50 yards from where it went down, knew the guy was having trouble, he was trying to making the airport, he veered left at the last second and landed in about 4 feet of water. Guy was out of the plane by the time i got there, which was prolly less then 10 seconds. He was ok and the only one in it. There was an ER doctor standing on the shore.
Now most of our marina is surrounded by crime scene tape and there are people EVERYWHERE!

another plane in our town just crashed the other day right near my girlfriend's house.
our pilots in our area are rich people who got out of the "lawyers on harleys" phase and moved up to planes.
