Deja vu all over again

In this morning’s San Francisco Chronicle is a story about another Bay Area pilot carrying out the safe ditching of an airplane, only in the middle of the Pacific Ocean this time. It was October 1956. Here is a 10-minute movie, made by the Coast Guard, of the incident.



All passengers and crew were rescued, but a ton of Hawaiian canaries died. The story is here; the movie is only a click away.
