'Thank You, Jesus': Survivor recounts moments after plane crashed off Florida coast into ocean

- When Olympia Outten heard the sounds of the U.S. Space Force plane and a rescue helicopter, she said she jumped for joy in the middle of her life raft, while waiving an emergency flag.

For five hours, she said, she and 10 others were stranded, waiting for help off the coast of Florida after their small plane was forced to make an emergency landing in the Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday morning.

Olympia, her niece, and her two sons, were flying from Marsh Harbour Airport to Grand Bahama International Airport, near Freeport, to vote in Tuesday's general election in The Bahamas.
