A light aircraft crashed into the sea off the coast of south Wales near Porthcawl, Bridgend, prompting the HM Coastguard to answer the incident on Tuesday morning. The pilot managed to make it to dry land after the crash, which occurred round 9:20am. Up-sell confirmed that one individual was taken to the hospital for further therapy.
Margaret Kendrick, an area resident, witnessed the plane the different means up within the water from her window. She recalled seeing a red shape and talked about that another person close by had seen the airplane descending. Kendrick noted the fortunate landing location, as the pilot was extremely close to the rocks. She mentioned, “The pilot walked away apparently, he was so close to the rocks – I thought I was seeing things.”
James Brown, a 75-year-old retired church minister, was walking on Lock’s Common when he saw the airplane crash. Brown heard the aircraft’s engine “stutter” earlier than it “swooped” into the water. He described the incident as “a very close to miss” and believed that the result would have been completely different if the pilot had landed on the nearby rocks..
