A seasoned pilot had to be pulled from the wreckage of his plane after having to make an emergency water landing, which went horribly wrong.
Mark Finkelstein was pulled from his single engine aircraft on August 2 near Oak Island Pier, North Carolina, after having to ditch the plane into the water.
The plane started to suffer engine failure leaving Finkelstein, a pilot of 17 years, unable to circle back to an airport - having to land it in the ocean instead.
Footage shows his plane coming in low and skidding across the top of the surface, before it flips over and lands in the water upside down.
Images taken of the plane after show it mostly submerged in an upright position, with a small pocket of air on the back of the cabin.
