Small Plane Lands in Water Short of Airport Runway

A small plane trying to land at the Key West Airport ended up in salt ponds just short of the runway Saturday.

The single-engine plane coming from Naples had six people on board. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said the pilot reported engine failure just before landing.

The plane landed in three feet of water near the runway around 10:20 a.m.

No one was injured in the landing.
