Miraculous Survival and a Sidelined Rescue Crew The recent Atlantic plane rescue off Florida's east coast has left many stunned by the "pretty miraculous" survival of all 11 people on board, as well as the bravery and quick thinking of the military rescue crew that saved them.
The incident raises important questions about air travel safety and the readiness of rescue teams to respond to catastrophic events.
The plane crash itself is under investigation, but it's clear that the pilots took the right decision in ditching into the water rather than attempting a landing on a nearby island.
