A particularly spooky Halloween day. In Florida, USA, a pilot experienced a doubly difficult situation. While at the controls of a small passenger plane, an anonymous pilot crashed… into waters infested with alligators, lots of mosquitoes and pythons.
It was the Miami firefighters who told this unusual story, supported by video of the rescue. On their Facebook pagethey explain that they were called around 10 a.m. after receiving a distress message.
“The air rescue service… arrived on scene to carry out a helicopter hoist operation to rescue the patient from the crashed plane and provide medical treatment. An adult patient was rescued safely exited the aircraft and was transported by helicopter to a Broward County hospital,” a description reads.
Wounded in the leg
According to CBSNews, the pilot, the only person on board, spent 9 hours among alligators and mosquitoes in the swamp. As a result of the shock, he suffered a leg injury, so it was necessary to airlift him to a nearby hospital.
He had to wait all this time on a wing of the aircraft which was slowly sinking in the mud. The circumstances leading to this crash have not been established; an investigation has been opened by the authorities.
