Humans soft pink no hair no claws no teeth don’t run very fast
Alligator doing what alligators do.
A gator gotta do what a gator gots to do
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.
Student pilot, flying his night solo for license, goes missing FOR TWO DAYS before the school reports it??

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.
Jimmy Hoffa?
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.
Yeah, a gruesome way to go.
WTF??
A nonoperational ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter)?
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

Holy cow...that was bad (RE the article).
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.
