Ferry rescues 4 from plane that lands on Lake Erie
TOLEDO, OH
Jake Market says the only injury among the four appeared to be
scratches on one woman's leg.
The plane was approaching a small airfield Friday on South Bass
Island, about midway between Toledo and Cleveland. Witnesses say it
skipped across the water, coming to rest about 100 yards from a
boat dock near the island. The plane's nose dropped into the water
and two men and two women got out.
Market says passengers on the boat threw life jackets to the
four people who were on the plane. He says the landing reminds him
of a US Airways flight that made an emergency water landing in New
York's Hudson River last year.
