World War II-era plane crash lands in the sea close to a busy beach during Florida Air Show

A pilot escaped serious injury after making a World War II-era airplane land safely close to shore on Satellite Beach, Florida, during the Cocoa Beach Air Show on April 17, according to the organizer.

The plane went down due to a “mechanical issue” and rescue personnel was immediately on the scene, a post by the air show’s Facebook page said.
Nickolas Hawley was viewing the air show on the beach with his family when he captured the moment the plane flies over swimmers’ heads before splashing into the water.

“Holy s***, dude. I’m so glad no one got hit,” Hawley said in the video.
Hawley told Storyful about a thousand visitors were on the beach when the plane went down.
