Plane's parachute saves doomed pilot off Hawaii

Lue Morton, the pilot who ditched his plane in the Pacific Ocean after it ran out of gas, is speaking out about his experience. The dramatic crash landing was caught on video. John Blackstone shows how a special parachute might have made the difference between life and death.

Gosh, who is stupid enough to fly to Hawaii with a single engine aircraft?!?!

I agree with the lady at the end...Parachute this, parachute that, blah, blah, blah....Ran out of gas?? Didn't plan for a head wind or something? While flying over the ocean??

It did probably not save their life. Ditchings are highly survivable.
