An acquaintance of mine (older brother of a good buudy) was on a plane that crashed in Miami, but I don’t believe it was this one. I think the plane he was on went off the runway into the water circa early ‘80s(?), and most (or all) of the passengers survived. My acquaintance helped get people out of the water and off the plane after the crash.

Sounds more like a January, 1982 incident in Boston.

Though I forget the specifics, the deceased in that crash were related and some speculated that their deaths were bogus and they were actually living the good life somewhere. The bodies were never found. Again, hazy memory.
