There were an awful lot of requests for the story behind my entry in the hidden gems challenge.
I have posted the details, along with additional photos in the comments section of the entry.
And the short story - everyone came out of it unhurt. |

I wonder what went into the pilot's decision to crash land on a busy beach, where he/she may have killed pedestrians, versus ditching out in the water.

He flew along the surf looking for a place to ditch. Just as he passed me, he turned and started to descend. He obviously knew that Nobody was on that part of the beach. |
