As of Saturday afternoon, the plane was still in the water. Only parts of the landing gear could be spotted just above the surface from a nearby dock. Pawlack told FOX 13, the pilot was the only person on board.

He told FOX 13, when crews arrived on scene, three civilian boats were out and around the plane, and they had a couple of lines to it to stop it from sinking.

He added, some of the neighbors were also in the water, while others waited for first responders at the community park before taking them to the scene. With the neighbor’s help, crews rescued the pilot. They treated him for life-threatening injuries and then took him to a Seattle hospital.
