Pilot survives plane crash in Gulf, films experience on LifeProof iPad

	Pilot survives plane crash in Gulf, films experience on LifeProof iPad Recently, Theodore Wright contacted us to tell us about his incredible and harrowing plane crash into the Gulf of Mexico. Theodore and his passenger Raymond Fosdick were flying between Baytown, TX and Sarasota, FL when their engine caught fire and filled the cockpit with smoke. They were forced to make a rapid descent and crash-land into the Gulf of Mexico. Upon escaping from the sinking plane they grabbed flotation devices and Theodore's iPhone and iPad, which were both in LifeProof cases. As they waited to be rescued, they documented their experience on the iPad. The pair tried to signal a passing fishing boat to no avail, and began to evaluate their options as the Coastguard made several passes overhead but didn't see them. They had spent over three hours in the water and the sun was beginning to set, when the Coast Guard spotted them and they were winched to safety. Both Theodore and Raymond are LifeProof fans, using their iPhones and iPads when sailing and flying, for use with maps and navigation apps, as well as to pass the time while waiting to be rescued! www.lifeproof.com	From: LifeProofCases Views: 5 1 ratings
