Læsø on Friday Evening As It Was Taking Off in Strong Crosswinds, and Its Two Occupants — a Swedish Pilot and a Norwegian Passenger — Swam

Incident commander Karsten Neve Petersen of the North Jutland Emergency Services confirmed the details to Ritzau. The emergency services received the report around 6 p.m. and dispatched crews to the aircraft, which was found lying in the waves off Læsø. Both people on board swam to land on their own.

The men were cold and shivering when they came ashore, and ambulance personnel attended to them. No one was injured in the incident.
