translated from Spanish: A World War II plane landed emergency on the beach

A World War II aircraft participating in the Cocoa Beach Air Show, dedicated to aircraft flight, made an emergency landing in Florida on Saturday afternoon near Patrick Space Force Base. No injuries were reported, health workers reported. The video was broadcast on Twitter and can be seen as the single-engine TBM Avenger aircraft desced high and gently stamped in shallow water south of Cocoa Beach, where several families were enjoying the sea.
Later, thanks to another video broadcast, it is seen as the only propeller left motionless as it heads straight into the water. “I was babbling on the beach and I was like, ‘oh, it doesn’t sound good’ and I just started filming,” one viewer told Florida Today.” It looked like (the pilot) stopped at the last minute and avoided the spectators, there were a lot of people on the water, and then I saw him at the top of the plane. It seemed fine,” he added. On the other hand, from the festival they said in a statement: “The TBM Avenger that performed at the warbird parade had a mechanical problem and the pilot was able to take the plane near the coast. Rescue personnel were immediately at the scene and the pilot is fine.” While finally, they revealed that the pilot rejected medical reports after the accident.
