Wisconsin GOP governor candidate swims from sinking plane after emergency lake landing
–
Neutral summary
US Representative Tom Tiffany, the Republican nominee for Wisconsin governor, sustained minor injuries late Saturday when the plane he was traveling in was forced to make an emergency water landing on Lake Wausau. The four-seat Beechcraft Bonanza lost power as it approached Wausau Downtown Airport, and the pilot carried out the emergency landing. Tiffany and the pilot swam from the sinking aircraft to shallow water, where they waited for rescue crews. The congressman thanked the pilot and first responders for their help and said he was grateful to have suffered only minor injuries; he was taken to a hospital after the incident.
