While in the water, Puentes took a picture of himself with his bright-yellow life preserver nestled closely around his neck.
One of the passengers managed to swim ashore while the others waited it out until the rescuers finally arrived.
“It gave me a little hope when we saw the first plane. The one that came and circled around,” passenger Key said.
The passengers were eventually rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. Authorities say the cause of the crash was likely engine failure.
Meanwhile, Fuddy’s death in the crash fueled conspiracy theories because she was the public official who released President Obama’s birth certificate in 2011 after repeated inquiries, proving he was born in the United States.
Fuddy made it out of the sinking plane fine, but died after escaping. It’s unclear what caused her death.
Passengers credited the pilot, Clyde Kawasaki, for landing the plane right-side up, which allowed passengers time to exit.
Was Fuddy dead at the scene, or did she die later?
Why no distress call from the pilot when the engine failed?
Did th first plane take any images?
