There were no reported injuries late Tuesday afternoon after a seaplane that took off from Key West International Airport ended up in the water shortly after takeoff.
Early reports indicated the U.S. Coast Guard arrived on scene first and there were three people on board, but none injured.
The plane made what appeared to be an emergency landing in Cow Key Channel, according to initial 911 communications reports.
âThe pilot did an outstanding job, [he] was able to put the aircraft down without any type of damage, any type of injuries and safely land in the channel,â Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay said Wednesday on U.S. 1 Radio.
