First responders are in the water off Bay Harbor Islands after a small plane goes down about 13 miles offshore. The F-A-A is calling this a 'landing' in the water. Chopper video shows the plane's wing floating in the water, as coast guard helicopters fly above. No word on how many people may have been on board, although one person was pulled from the water by the Coast Guard. No what caused the Convair plane to go down.
