Horror: Huge Alligator Seen Eating the Dead Body of a Pilot Whose Plane Crashed Into a Swamp (Video)

 

A video has shown the moment an alligator was spotted by a news crew in a helicopter next to the wreckage of a small airplane crash in the Florida Everglades devouring the victim's body.

 

According to Daily Mail UK, the single-engine Cessna 152 was found in a swampy area roughly seven miles west of Homestead, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 

 

The FAA said the pilot was the only person on board and his name has not been released.

 

The news crew inside of WPLG's helicopter spotted the alligator eating the crash victim's body near the wreckage. 

 

Miami-Dade police said that the crash scene was found about 9.30pm on Wednesday. 

 

The small Cessna was registered to Air Christian Inc. located in Miami.

 

Back in December 2015, the same plane was forced to make an emergency landing on U.S. Highway 41 in Collier County, WPLG reported.

 

It's unclear if the pilot during that 2015 incident is the same one involved in the crash. 

 

The wrecked plane had a logo for Dean International Flight Training & Aircraft Rentals on the side of the aircraft. 

 

The flight school owner, Robert Dean, said that the pilot took off on an unauthorized flight alone on Saturday at 8.40pm, WPLG reported. 

 

Dean said he called several different places he thought the pilot may have flown to and reached out to people who he had suspected may had been with him before reaching out to the FBI on Wednesday night. 

 

He said he thinks the pilot might have suffered from spatial disorientation while flying in the pitch darkness over the Everglades.  

 

FAA and National Transportation Safety Board investigators arrived at the scene Thursday morning and are investigating the incident.
