Plane Crashes In The Bahamas

Three people are not only lucky to survive a plane crash on Thursday, they also have a fishing boat to thank for plucking them out of the Atlantic Ocean.
Provided Three men were rescued by fishermen in the Bahamas after their plane crashed while headed to Miami on Thursday, Aug. 8, 2019.                  The plane engine, with a pilot, two passengers, went down  20 miles east of Bimini westernmost island in Bahamas, on Thursday while traveling from Great Harbour Cay Airport to Miami Executive Airport.

The passengers inflated a yellow emergency raft and alerted the Coast Guard. But the professionals ended up not being needed. Group of fishermen out for a day on their boat made the rescue.
                                                                                                                                                                               We were about 25 miles from Cat Cay on our way to Great Harbour, when we came across the life raft with three guys in it," Tim Hampson, one of the fishermen,  "And we pulled up to them, asked what was up, and they were like, 'We just scratched our airplane like an hour ago.'"
                                                                                                                                                                         No one was hurt, they were just all in a little bit of shock," he continued. "One gentleman was 80 years old, which gave us some concern, but he was a real trooper -- probably the toughest one of the group, for sure."
