What a horrible way to go. Think about the pilot. He crashes, survives, and thinks “Thank you Lord for sparing my life.”.

And then the alligator shows up.

I was on duty for this rescue and lucky no gators they had other problems though:

Maybe he was dead when the gator got him.
If he survived and was capable I would think he would have made it to a high and dry part of the wreckage.

I think he was dead or unconscious when the gator got him.

I lived in Homestead. The Glades are literally infested with gators.

In the video of the news report on this, the wreck looks pretty mangled and the pilot probably died on impact.

If he survived the crash, the mosquitoes would have made him go out in search of a gator.

Gators don’t eat fresh meat. Only rotten meat. They carry it away to rot and then eat it. ewwwww.

I've been to Florida several times, particularly around the space coast/Orlando....all bodies of water are infested with gators. You couldn't get me to take a swim anywhere in Florida...cept a chlorinated poll. lol

Every canal, pond, stream and ditch in Flat has Gators. I grew up there. When I lived in S Fla I never jumped in a pool unless I checked it out first.

lol. Right? I’ve even seen gators climb 4ft chain link fences to get to the pool. Seriously though, traveling around, we’d see gators in ditches with just a lil water. In fact, the Cracker Barrel in Titusville has a lil tiny retention pond next to it...tiny I tell ya. Has gators in it.
