Man found may be from plane

A man found Saturday in a mangrove near Miami may be that of a 42-year-old passenger who fell Thursday from a small plane. The body was discovered at 10:30 a.m after authorities had been looking for the man since a pilot's mayday distress call. Nales, the only other person aboard, "opened the back door and he just fell down the plane," the pilot said, according to a recording of his conversation with air traffic controllers. The pilot said he was flying Thursday afternoon at an altitude of 1,800 feet about two miles from shore when the incident occurred. They don't know if the man accidentally fell out of the plane or actually jumped. What do you think? Do you think it was an accident or do you think he really jumped?

  • I'm not sure how that's possible opening a door from inside the plane is impossible on any commercial plane and extremely hard on any other plane... but since it was a small plane and it probably wasn't going as fast as other planes, I guess it could happen... idk what the reason is though...

  • Either accidental or purposeful, this is very unfortunate and tragic. If it was purposeful, then why did he do it? If it wasn't, how did the door open? They aren't very easy to open up.

  • If he got up and went over to the door it almost seems like he committed suicide and jumped. I guess you can't really figure something like that out unless he wrote a suicide note. He could have done something a little easier like hanging himself or jumping from a building, but maybe he wanted a very noticeable suicide. It could have just been an accident, but the other possibility shouldn't be ruled out.

  • I think this was an accident because I don't see why any person would want to jump out of a plane unless it was safe.   I don't think that somebody pushed him out, but I do think that something accidentally happened and the man fell out.   Hopefully it was him that they found so they could ask him why he did it.

  • I think he jumped if you are saying that the guy opened the back door. Because you can't jus accidently open the door it doesn't work that way but why the guy jumped I would have no clue. Did this guy have a parachute?

  • This is terrible! I am not for sure if this was an accident or not. Why would he just open the door and jump? But then how could he? Isn't there some type of lock. It would probably take some time for him to open the door. Wouldn't any people working on the plane notice? This seems very sketchy in my opinion. I hope this man wouldn't have done it on purpose. That would be very sad!

  • I think the man jumped because its the only reason I can think of as to why he opened the door. I don't know why he would've jumped I think this is a strange story.

  • bump

  • I'm not sure if I think it was an accident or not. I don't know how he could have opened the door on his own like that I thought it had to be open by a button. I hope he wouldn't have done it on purpose!
