Two people are lucky to be alive after their plane lost power and went down off the coast of California – and they caught the entire dramatic ordeal on tape.

Two people are lucky to be alive after their plane lost power and went down in Half Moon Bay off the coast of California on Tuesday – and they caught the entire dramatic ordeal on tape.

In the other aircraft flying close to Lesh was Owen Leipelt and a passenger who was tasked with taking pictures of Lesh's plane. Dramatic video taken from Leipelt's plane shows the moment of impact as Lesh's plane hit and skidded across the water about 9 miles south of Pillar Point Harbor. "Coast Guard watchstanders dispatched crews aboard a Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco MH-65 Dolphin helicopter, diverted a Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento C-27 Spartan aircraft and the Coast Guard Cutter Hawksbill, an 87-foot patrol boat homeported in Monterey," according to a press release issued from the United States Coast Guard."Alright, we are floating around now in the [expletive] Pacific Ocean," said Lesh as his friend Kayla laughed in the background.

Hello

Beautiful

yall just survived a plane crash n the first thing yall do is start recording?!

I'm skeptical....considering who this is....

On tape?

AlbertoRavell Exactly like this

And they had time to video WoW

How?!?!?

Some people have guts... If this was me I'd be screaming my lungs out. Thinking of all the sharks and crazy sea creatures like the 'Piranha'... Their calmness in impressive. Bravo to the rescuers too.

Damn. Hate when my private plane looses power

Afraid this doesn't ring true for me but if it isn't a stunt, what sort of people are concerned with selfies at this point?

You forgot the part about an investigation. This guy has done many stunts. We’ll see.

Dude did it for attention

I'm sure this was shot on the SamsungMobile S10, tape would have been destroyed in the water. So would film.

So how brain power did it take to fly over water without life jackets or a raft in their aircraft?

What's a tape?

“I bet I can get a lot of views and likes on this” fucking hipster millennials. They’ll do anything for a drop of clout nowadays.

Next time get footage of the crash. Lame.

😳
