    According to a local person, the plane hit the shore going sideways and slid about 30 feet onshore. One of the floats was bent about 90 degrees. Within a couple of hours, the plane was back in Rust's maintenance hangar undergoing repairs. No specific explanation was given for the loss of power after takeoff. There were 7 passengers plus the pilot onboard, and no one was injured.

      Six passengers plus the pilot according to the NTSB report.

    Title should have said crash *landing*. A bit harsh on the floats and struts. That is why during preflight, ALWAYS check your fuel supply for water, fuel pressure, and fuel filters. If it's due for changing, DO IT! Don't skimp. Oil levels, and oil pressure are musts too. I don't know what was the cause of him aborting, but i'm glad they did so in a safe location.

    Looks like a thriving seaplane community there. What is it with your Beaver pilots? That's the second crash video I've seen from there and in both cases it was a Beaver where the pilot failed to get it on the step.

    Make sure you pump out the floats also.

    What's the status of the Beaver that took off and had a rough landing, wasn't the the 206G coming in even though its owned by the same company

    A friend of mine died because of water in the floats. The water went to the back of the floats and he went down.

      I mean, all floats are compartmentalized so that water can't shift fore and aft, but OK.

      Great information ℹ️ but that’s what they thought about the Titanic 🚢 too. 🤔🤣😂☺️

      @@scottdearmond5532 Right. 6 out of the 16 compartments in the Titanic had holes in them from the iceberg, and the compartments were not water tight at all, they were open at the top of the bulkheads (whcih weren't much higher than the waterline" so once the compartments with holes filled, the water spilled over into other compartments, filling them, even though they had not been damaged by the iceberg. So the titanic has exactly zero relevance to aircraft floats.

      The Beaver loses its engine at 2:30. But I don't know if it crashed after it went out of view.

      ​@@claycassin8437 The airplane seen taxiing later in the video is a Cessna. The plane that lost its engine is a De Haviland Beaver. Both are owned/operated by Rust's flying service though, so the paint looks similar.

      @@kadenmoeg3715 Thanks, I didn't catch onto that. I hope the other plane isn't too badly damaged. But they're lucky, in a way; had that engine quit a couple seconds later they would have been into the trees.
