A pilot and his passenger escaped unharmed Wednesday evening after their plane made an emergency landing on a beach on Long Island, New York.
The single-engine Cessna 152 landed on a strip of sand in Cedar Beach after the 60-year-old pilot radioed an engine failure, ABC 7 reported.
This is the second incident to occur for a single-engine plane on the beach of Long Island in eight years, when in 2016 the plane’s engine failed 3,000 feet above the North Shore.
We do not know where the two men were heading, just as we do not know the identity of the passenger, according to the American media, which specifies that the incident was the subject of an investigation by federal aviation authorities. (FAA).
As a reminder, in June 2018, two people died and two others were missing when their small plane, a Piper PA-31 Navajo, crashed in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Long Island.
