Plane reported missing
The aircraft which is seen in pieces in the video was a Cessna 152 single engine plane. According to The Sun, the plane was located four days after it was reported missing from the Christian Inc Flying School, which is out of Miami, Florida.
The plane crashed in a remote area of the Everglades and it wasn't located until about 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating this crash, working in tandem, according to The Sun.
Plane in pieces
According to Dunya News, the logo that was seen on the plane indicates it was owned by Dean International Flight Training & Aircraft Rentals. Robert Dean, who owns the aircraft said that the flight was not authorized.
Dean said he called different locations to see if the aircraft was there and he also got in touch with the people who may have been traveling with the pilot.
Dean also contacted the FBI over the missing plane on Wednesday before the plane crash was discovered.
Did pilot crash due to spatial disorientation?
Dean offered up a theory as to why the pilot might have crashed the plane. He said the pilot might have crashed the plane while flying in the total darkness over the Everglades as a result of spatial disorientation, which sometimes occurs in pilots flying under those conditions.
The Everglades are very unforgiving surroundings without a shelter or a boat. It is not known if the plane crash victim was killed in the plane crash or if he was injured in the crash and killed by the alligator. His body had been out in the elements for four days by the time the crash site was located. If he were still alive upon impact, he was in grave danger the minute he landed in that swamp from alligators and snakes.
