Two people survive small aircraft accident in Long Island Sound.

Two individuals were rescued from the Long Island Sound near Branford, Connecticut, after their plane crashed, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the U.S. Coast Guard's Northeast division in a conversation with Newsweek. Both individuals were reported in stable condition and were being evaluated by EMS crews at a nearby pier. Newsweek attempted to reach out to the Branford Police Department for further details on the incident. The recent small plane crash adds to concerns about flight safety following other fatal incidents in the news. Despite these challenges, experts emphasize that air travel is generally safe. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that a Piper PA-32 aircraft crashed near Tweed New Haven Airport, prompting a response from the USCG station in New Haven. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy highlighted concerns about outdated equipment in a recent interview but also noted that air travel remains one of the safest modes of transportation. The Coast Guard and FAA will continue to investigate the crash and provide updates to the public.
