The plane was witnessed nosediving into Moriches inlet where it sank twenty to thirty feet deep, ending up upside down on a rock where divers took hours trying to retrieve the occupants.

Fishermen were the first on the scene, and tried to haul the plane up with a rope.Medics were on standby waiting for the divers to retrieval of the passengers, but the occupants were underwater for hours and presumed deceased.
