    Two Rescued by Coast Guard After Beechcraft Ditched in Gulf Of Mexico

    What: Beechcraft 55 Baron en route from Baytown TX to Sarasota FL
    Where: 28 miles east of South Pass in the Gulf of Mexico
    When: Sept. 20, 2012
    Who: 2 aboard
    Why: After the International Emergency Response Coordination Center notified 8th Coast Guard District command center of a beacon alert, the search began.

    Two men whose flight ditched were rescued after the Border Patrol spotted them adrift in the Gulf of Mexico. A Coast Guard MH-65C Dolphin helicopter was launched.

    The pilot hit the water at an estimated 100 knots after the plane caught fire and the cockpit filled with smoke. The two men aboard survived the crash and three hours in the water.

    Coast Guard helicopter pilot Lt. Becki Fosha said that “They had a limited time to bring the aircraft to the water and then they had about two minutes to get all of their survival gear together and get ready for a survival situation before the aircraft submerged…They had a GPS sport beacon. They had their current EPERB 406 beacon. They had floatation and survival equipment for just this kind of scenario…the men did a great job ditching the plane.”

    Theodore Wright and Raymond Fosdick were pulled out of the Gulf and flown to Belle Chasse Naval Base. Fosdick was hospitalized at Ochsner Medical Center.
