Plane Runs Out of Fuel & Lands Safely in Maui, Hawaii
U.S. Coast Guard video captures a Cirrus SR-22 aircraft that ran out of fuel north of Maui, Hawaii. You then see a large parachute open up from behind the plane. This parachute allowed the pilot to land in the water safely. Moments later, a cruiseliner came to pick up the pilot.

Planes don't like swimming in salt water   .... better than crashing though  |

I remember this. I believe he was flying from N. Cali and didn't calculate his fuel correctly. Had a headwind that he didn't figure in.

Actually he had a fuel system malfunction, which is listed in the NTSB report. http://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.av...15LA089&akey=1 |
