All five aboard survived when their twin-engined, Piper Seneca ditched into the ocean off Bimini. Before it sank, Mr. Tuckfield managed to retrieve his wetsuit, flippers and a face-mask. The pilot, Bread Youngberg, 48, and passenger Delabo Hicks 58, survived, while Mr. Bloom, 54 and his wife Dorothy died. Mr. Bloom was unable to swim, so Mr. Tuckfield carried her on his back while Mr. Bloom wearing a life jacket was attached to his wetsuit with a strap. Mr. Tuckfield even tried to save their dog, a spaniel, by tucking it under his arm. The party stayed near the wreckage for about four hours, but after several planes had flown overheard without responding to their emergency lights, they decided to swim towards Bimini, where they could see lights.
