The pilot of a single-engine airplane safely ditched off the island of Hawaii on Sunday (January 25) after realizing he was running out of fuel.
The unidentified pilot of the Cirrus SR-22 put out a distress call in the afternoon to the Hawaii National Guard, who then helped guide him as he attempted to successfully land in the Pacific Ocean.
Aerial surveillance video released by the U.S. Coast Guard shows the pilot deploying the airframe parachute system, which is used by smaller aircraft. After splashing into the ocean, he escapes the plane and then climbs into a life raft.
