David Lesh filmed the moments after his plane crash and continued as he waited with his friend, Kayla, to be rescued in the water off the California coast
David Lesh, 34, took his Beechcraft Bonanza plane out over the California coast with his friend, Kayla, for a mid-air photo shoot on Tuesday. His friend and fellow pilot, Owen Leipelt, filmed as Lesh’s plane fell from the sky. Luckly, he was able to land it softly in the Pacific Ocean off Half Moon Bay, close to San Francisco.: ‘We skipped along the water for a few hundred feet and the impact was very minimal…we immediately opened the door and got out onto the wing.’‘I grabbed my cell phone and the keys to the car. I knew I had about 20 or 30 seconds before it sunk.
Lesh said: ‘It got cold pretty quickly. After about 20 minutes or so, I started to freeze up pretty good. There was jellyfish everywhere.
