A couple was saved in the middle of the ocean after an emergency landing with their plane

An aerial photograph taken off Northern California has become a dramatic rescue when one of the two planes flying together was suffering from a flaw that required the pilot to make a forced mooring. The couple on board survived the accident and recorded the situation of the sea.

The Beechcraft Bonanza single propeller propeller fell in Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco. The pilot David Lesh, who recorded his rescue and that of the girl who accompanied him, said on television KGO-TV The purpose of the flight was to take pictures of his newly acquired aircraft over the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay.

But the plane lost power and Lesh had to point out. "He jumped several times on the water. There was no impact. We were perfectly fine, "said Lesh.

"We open the door immediately, we leave. I caught my phone and something with which to float and we stood on the right wing while the plane was afloat, about 30 or 40 seconds. "

The pilot of the other plane, Owen Lipelt, and his pbadenger attended the fall. The Coast Guard received a call from this aircraft at the age of 18 and sent two planes, a sailboat and a patrol. The couple was unscathed.
