For the second time in less than three weeks, a small plane made a forced landing on a Sarasota County, Florida beach. Television station WWSB Channel 7 is reporting that just before noon Tuesday, the Air Traffic Control tower at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport called 911. A Pitts Special reported an engine power loss and landed on Siesta Key Beach not far from the busy public beach area. It flipped over during rollout on the sand. "He saw Siesta Key Beach, he saw there was a lot of people on the beach, he did his best to get away from the populated area and put it down in a safe location," said Lt. Daniel Tutko of the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
