So did the door to the aircraft fly open before or at impact? Strange report.

I think they meant that the pilot reported that the door had flown open after the plane disappeared off of radar.

Doors usually fly open soon after take off not before landings.
Maybe a hacker flying?

Thats strange

This appears to be extremely poor reporting and indeed, inaccurate information of such a significant News worthy Story. As best I can gather, there was only one person on board, the Pilot himself, who successfull ditched the Aircraft, which initially floated before sinking, but first responder Divers found no sign of Pilot, who remains missing.

Unfourtuntely this is a job for a commercial dive team consisting of trained saturation divers. As far as I know there is 1 female trained in Nassau, and 1 man in Freeport.

Hopefully they can bring a team in and work with the two locals and recover the plane.

On realizing he was in Bahamian waters the pilot inflated the plane's life raft, jumped in it and began paddling liken the dickens using his shoes in the hopes of making it to Cuban waters. LMAO

You sure have a strange personality. Two people are dead and your making a joke out of it?

Agreed. Geez, where's the empathy?

Unfortunate loss of life.

This is the most commonly used approach path for planes landing at LPIA. One wonders whether Civil Aviation, authorities at LPIA and all the other rescue agencies have a “Plan” in place for this sort of crash, where aircraft dive into the ocean way short of the runway.

The photos showing a fence erected north on the beach (at Nirvana?) has to be a hinderance to any rescue efforts, is likely to be both a safety hazard and is illegal if done outside the “High Water Mark”, which would be public domain. I wonder if the fence “owners” will clear the debri when this contraption rust due to the salt water, since the sharp rusty debri will likely injure unsuspecting beach goers.

Yes it appears it was only the pilot on board. This must be rough for the family. I know everyone is praying for a miracle here. May the Lord bring comfort to the family.

Mudda sic you are appropriately named. For that sick comment.

Undoubtedly there's a whole lot more to this incident, which as usual will never see the light of day.

The big issue is the RBDF and their obvious lack of resources.

But hey, our government has money to purchase hotels and pay staff to do nothing. Smh.
