Two men survive plane crash into Atlantic Ocean off Miami-Dade coast

A small plane owned by a Fort Lauderdale flight school crashed in the Atlantic Ocean Tuesday morning off Haulover Beach Inlet in Miami Dade County, authorities said. Miami Dade Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Aaron Marks told reporters that the two people aboard the Piper "have very minor injuries. In television news reports, a wing of the plane could be seen poking through the surface of the sea. The plane went down in turquoise, crystal clear ocean waters on a beautiful morning, just north of the jetty at the Haulover Beach Inlet. Multiple agencies responded to the emergency: Miami Dade Fire Rescue sent a fire boat, air rescue crews and trucks; The United States Coast Guard sent a pontoon boat and police marine patrols from Bal Harbour, Miami-Dade and North Bay Village were also circling the crash site.
