The Air Force rescued 11 people after a plane crashed off the coast of Florida


On May 12, a Bahamian airliner crashed off the east coast of Florida with 11 passengers stuck on a lifeboat for hours.

During what was supposed to be a routine flight between two islands in the Bahamas, the small plane’s navigation controls, radio and engines malfunctioned. The plane’s emergency dispatcher sent out a distress call, alerting the US Coast Guard.

“You could tell they were in distress just by looking at them,” Capt. Rory Whipley, an Air Force fighter rescue officer, said at a press conference after the rescue.

All 11 people on the plane survived and are in good condition.
