BC pilot tells remarkable survival story after small plane crash off Mexico

From Global News.

A B.C. pilot now has a remarkable survival story to tell after ditching his small plane in the ocean off the Baja Peninsula.

Mike MacDonald had been hired to fly over the Gulf of California with a marine biologist to look for wildlife last weekend.

“Our job is to go out there and spot the animals, identify them, mark them, mark their location, and which direction they’re headed,” he told Global News.

But about three hours into a four-hour tour, his engine suddenly quit and he realized he couldn’t make it to land.

Global’s Aaron McArthur reports on what happened next.
