Cook with a Mouth
REPORTED ON SAVVYSTEWS.COM & BY BOBBY LAURIE ON HUFFPOST FIRST! BEFORE CNN, ABC AND ALL HAWAIIAN NEWS OUTLETS!
We’ve all read the stories and seen the images of the passengers and crew on board US Airways flight 1549 that fateful day when the Airbus A320 ditched in the Hudson River after hitting a flock of birds. Now it’s happened again with a smaller passenger aircraft off the shores of Hawaii. Sadly, not everyone survived.
A survivor’s amazing story
A Makani Kai Air flight, flown by a Cessna Grand Caravan to Honolulu from Kalaupapa, Molokai ditched into the ocean on December 11, 2013. Loretta Fuddy was one of the passengers. Though her name might not sound familiar you’ve heard about her — she’s the Hawaiian health official who approved the release of President Obama’s birth certificate. She was the only passenger that didn’t survive.
Ferdinand Puentes was one of the survivors. He had been working on Kalaupapa and was flying back to Honolulu. For him, this was routine. He had taken this flight many times prior to December 11th. On that day, though, he turned on his Go-Pro camera to film take-off, having earlier filmed a landing. Instead, his camera captured the harrowing accident from start to finish.
Ferdinand has allowed us to publish his photographs along with his account of what happened on board:
