A WWII-era plane which crash-landed in the ocean during a Florida air show has been compared to pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's emergency landing in the Hudson.
The vintage aircraft was part of the Cocoa Beach Air Show, but a mechanical failure forced the pilot to ditch the plane on the packed beaches near the Patrick Space Force Base.
People can be heard expressing their shock as the craft comes down, and footage shows bystanders rushing towards the plane as it comes to a halt after skidding along the surface.
