Two small planes ran out of fuel and crash-landed into the Pacific Ocean off Hawaii on the same day, with one briefly nose-diving before leveling out and drifting down to the water beneath a massive parachute.
The five people aboard the planes survived after dramatic rescues, authorities said.
In one of the crashes, the pilot put down the aircraft near a cruise ship and was pulled aboard it in a life raft amid giant waves.

It crash-landed about 11 miles west of Oahu, and a Coast Guard helicopter rescued three adults and one child.
All four received emergency treatment, but their conditions were not immediately available.
