Video Shows TMA Seaplane Crew Leaping Into Sea to Save Passengers After Aircraft Began to Sink

Local News ·
A video has been released on social media today showing pilots and crew jumping into the sea without hesitation to save people on board after the neck of a TMA seaplane broke and the aircraft began to sink. In the video posted on Facebook by a member of the public, pilots and crew in uniform are seen on the aerodrome platform of the seaplane terminal jumping immediately into the sea and swimming toward the aircraft after it began to sink. According to what Maaruf Mohamed, who posted the video, wrote, when he saw the crew in uniform jumping into the sea to save the passengers and members of their own team, tears welled in his eyes and his heart was filled. He revealed in the post that he is very proud of them. "In those frightening moments, they did not think about themselves at all. As soon as they saw people who needed help, they jumped into the sea without hesitation," Maaruf said. "Every person who worked to save them is someone's child. A mother or a father. A part of life. Or a friend. At the most important moment, the help they gave will be buried in our hearts." In the accident that occurred yesterday when the neck of a TMA seaplane broke, a crew member was injured, and he is still receiving treatment in the ventilator. The person injured in the incident that occurred yesterday afternoon is a 20-year-old man. Even when the young man was taken to the hospital, treatment was first begun at ICU as his condition was serious. It is known that he was injured after being squeezed between the seaplane and the dock. The crew member injured in the accident is still receiving treatment in the ventilator at Tree Top Hospital. TMA has told the media that the passengers and crew on board the seaplane at the time of the incident have been saved. And although it said it would look into how the incident occurred and release details, the information TMA shared with the media did not include that anyone was injured in the incident. In the photos and videos shared by some people on social media, it appears that the seaplane took in some salt water as a result of its neck breaking and it colliding. The relevant authorities are investigating this incident.
