Tom Tiffany Survives Beechcraft Crash into Lake Wausau, Plans Campaign Return

Wisconsin GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany and his pilot Len Boltz survived a loss-of-power water landing in Lake Wausau when their Beechcraft Bonanza sank; the pair escaped the sinking plane and were rescued, with Tiffany sustaining a gash requiring 12 stitches and Boltz four. Both were treated and released from the hospital, and Tiffany said he’ll return to the campaign trail Monday. The FAA is investigating the engine failure, and Boltz’s quick action to raise the landing gear helped prevent a more catastrophic crash.

Pilot’s ‘career is over’ remark after Amazon cargo jet crash in Miami

Two Amazon Prime Air pilots survived a deadly crash at Miami International Airport when a Boeing 767 overshot the runway, struck multiple vehicles and burst into flames, killing five people in the vehicles and injuring five others. Investigators are examining whether the plane landed too late to stop; NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy described the scene as “utter devastation.” The pilots, Felipe Silva Molina, 37, and Joseph Carroll, 55, escaped with minor injuries; one borrowed an airport employee’s phone to tell his wife he was OK and, though shaken, reportedly said, “My career is over.” The flight was from Puerto Rico to Miami.
